title: Trans- and cis-DNA adduct concentration in epidermis from mouse and rat skin treated ex vivo with benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide and its corresponding chlorohydrin.
abstract: Benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide, a metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), and chlorohydrin, the reaction product of chloride and the epoxide, form in vitro the same trans- and cis-stereoisomeric DNA adducts, but in different proportions. In this study, we asked whether the DNA adduct concentration can be kept the same by applying the appropriate dose of (+/-)-7r,8t-dihydroxy-9t,10t-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (anti-BPDE)and (+/-)-7r,8t,9t-trihydroxy-10c-chloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (trans-BPDCH) to rodent skin and whether the DNA adducts formed differ only in their trans- and cis-stereoisomerism. Skin from C57Bl6 mice, spontaneous hypertension rats (SHR) and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was treated ex vivo immediately after the death of the animals with anti-BPDE and its corresponding bay region chlorohydrin trans-BPDCH and the epidermis was analyzed for DNA adducts 1h after the application. We found that adduct formation at the exocyclic amino groups of deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine in epidermal DNA followed a linear dose-response within 6--100 nmol/cm(2) with both chemicals. In order to achieve the same adduct concentration in mouse, spontaneous hypertension rat (SHR), and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat skin, respectively, a 37-, 23- and 10-fold lower dose of anti-BPDE than of trans-BPDCH had to be applied. The order of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) adduct concentration with anti-BPDE was similar to what has been reported, but the order with trans-BPDCH was (+)-cis-BPDE-N(2)-dGuo adduct>(+)-trans-BPDE-N(2)-dGuo=(-)-trans-BPDE-N(2)-dGuo>(-)-cis-BPDE-N(2)-dGuo in mouse skin. Irrespective of species or strain, a significantly higher proportion of cis-adducts was obtained after treatment with trans-BPDCH than after treatment with anti-BPDE. Therefore, DNA adduct concentration can be kept the same by applying the appropriate dose of anti-BPDE and trans-BPDCH to rodent skin and the DNA adducts formed differ only in their trans- and cis-stereoisomerism.
