Are we sure we know how to measure 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine in DNA from human cells?
2004
The most commonly measured marker of oxidative DNA damage is 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua) or its deoxyribonucleoside (8-oxodGuo). Published estimates of the concentration of 8-oxoGua/8-oxodGuo in DNA of normal human cells vary over a range of three orders of magnitude. Analysis by chromatographic methods (GC-MS, HPLC with electrochemical detection (ECD) or HPLC-MS/MS) is beset by the problem of adventitious oxidation of guanine during sample preparation. An alternative approach, based on the use of the DNA repair enzyme formamidopyrimidine DNA N-glycosylase (FPG) to make breaks in the DNA at sites of the oxidised base, gives much lower values. ESCODD, the European Standards Committee…

Inter-laboratory validation of procedures for measuring 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine/8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine in DNA.
2002
The aim of ESCODD, a European Commission funded Concerted Action, is to improve the precision and accuracy of methods for measuring 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua) or the nucleoside (8-oxodG). On two occasions, participating laboratories received samples of different concentrations of 8-oxodG for analysis. About half the results returned (for 8-oxodG) were within 20% of the median values. Coefficients of variation (for three identical samples) were commonly around 10%. A sample of calf thymus DNA was sent, dry, to all laboratories. Analysis of 8-oxoGua/8-oxodG in this sample was a test of hydrolysis methods. Almost half the reported results were within 20% of the median value, and half …
