In an effort to define the prevalent DNA damage chemistry associated chronic inflammation, we have quantified twelve DNA damage products in tissues from the SJL mouse model of nitric oxide (NO) over-production. Using LC-MS/MS and immunoblot techniques, we analyzed spleen, liver and kidney from RcsX-stimulated and control mice for the level of the following adducts: the DNA oxidation products 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine, guanidinohydantoin, oxazolone, 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole, and spiroiminodihydantoin, and M1dG; the nitrosative deamination products 2'-deoxyxanthosine, 2'-deoxyoxanosine, 2'-deoxyinosine, and 2'-deoxyuridine; and the lipid peroxidation-derived adducts 1,N6-etheno-deoxyadenosine and 1,N2-etheno-deoxyguanosine. The levels of 2'-deoxyoxanosine, guanidinohydantoin, oxazolone, 5-guanidino-4-nitroimidazole and spiroiminodihydantoin were all below a detection limit of
1 lesion per 107 bases. While there were only modest increases in the spleens of RcsX-treated compared to control mice for the nucleobase deamination products (10-30%) and the DNA oxidation products 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (10%) and M1dG (50%), there were large (3- to 4-fold) increases in the levels of 1,N6-etheno-deoxyadenosine and 1,N2-etheno-deoxyguanosine. Similar results were obtained with the liver and with an organ not considered to be a target for inflammation in the SJL mouse, the kidney. This latter observation suggests that oxidative and nitrosative stresses associated with inflammation can affect tissues at a distance from the activated macrophages responsible for NO over-production during chronic inflammation. These results reveal the complexity of NO chemistry in vivo and suggest an important role for lipids in the pathophysiology of inflammation.
