In this study, both endogenous and exogenous N(2)-hydroxymethyl-dG adducts in nasal DNA of rats exposed to 0.7, 2, 5.8, 9.1, or 15.2 ppm [(13)CD(2)] formaldehyde for 6 h were quantified by a highly sensitive nano-UPLC-MS/MS method. Our data clearly demonstrated that exogenous formaldehyde DNA adducts form in a highly nonlinear fashion, with a 21.7-fold increase in exposure causing a 286-fold increase in exogenous adducts. The ratio of exogenous/endogenous DNA adducts demonstrated that endogenous DNA adducts dominated at low exposures, comprising more than 99%. In contrast, exogenous adducts were not detectable in the bone marrow of rats exposed to 15.2 ppm [(13)CD(2)] formaldehyde.
本研究采用高灵敏度的纳升超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法,定量分析了经 0.7、2、5.8、9.1 或 15.2ppm[(13)CD2]甲醛暴露 6 小时的大鼠鼻内 DNA 中的内源性和外源性 N(2)-羟甲基-dG 加合物。我们的数据清楚地表明,外源性甲醛 DNA 加合物的形成呈高度非线性,暴露量增加 21.7 倍导致外源性加合物增加 286 倍。外源性/内源性 DNA 加合物的比例表明,在低暴露水平下,内源性 DNA 加合物占主导地位,超过 99%。相比之下,在暴露于 15.2ppm[(13)CD2]甲醛的大鼠骨髓中未检测到外源性加合物。
