Abstract: | Site-specific mutagenicity of trans-opened adducts at the exocyclic N(2)-amino group of guanine by the (+)-(7R,8S,9S,10R)- and (-)-(7S,8R,9R,10S)-enantiomers of a benzoa]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide (7-hydroxyl and epoxide oxygen are trans, BPDE-2) has been determined in Chinese hamster V79 cells and their repair-deficient counterpart, V-H1 cells. Four vectors containing single 10S-BPDE-dG or 10R-BPDE-dG adducts positioned at G(0) or G(-1) in the analyzed 5'-ACTG(0)G(-1)GA sequence of the non-transcribed strand were separately transfected into the cells. Mutations at each of the seven nucleotides were analyzed by a novel primer extension assay using a mixture of one dNTP complementary to the mutated nucleotide and three other ddNTPs and were optimized to quantify levels of a mutation as low as 1%. Only G --> T mutations were detected at the adducted sites; the 10S adduct derived from the highly carcinogenic (+)-diol epoxide was 40-50 and 75-140% more mutagenic than the 10R adduct in V79 and V-H1 cells, respectively. Importantly, the 10S adducts, but not the 10R adducts, induced separate non-targeted mutations at sites 5' to the G(-1) and G(0) lesions (G(0) --> T and C --> T, respectively) in both cell lines. Neither the T 5' to G(0) nor sites 3' to the lesions showed mutations. Non-targeted mutations may enhance overall mutagenicity of the 10S-BPDE-dG lesion and contribute to the much higher carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of (+)-BPDE-2 compared with its (-)-enantiomer. Our study reports a definitive demonstration of mutations distal to a site-specific polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon adduct. |
