abstract = {Identification of a modified nucleotide and its localization within an RNA molecule is a difficult task. Only direct sequencing of purified RNA molecules and high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis of purified RNA fragments allow determination of both the type and location of a given modified nucleotide within an RNA of 50-150 nt in length. The objective of this chapter is to describe in detail a few simple procedures that we have found particularly suited for the detection, localization, and quantification of modified nucleotides within an RNA of known sequence. The methods can also be used to reveal the enzymatic activity of a particular RNA-modifying enzyme in vitro or in vivo. The procedures are based on the use of radiolabeled RNA (with [32P], [14C], or [3H]) or [32P]-postlabeled oligonucleotides and two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography of labeled nucleotides on cellulose plates. This chapter provides useful maps of the migration characteristics of 70 modified nucleotides on thin-layer cellulose plates.},

abstract = {The new, simple, and reliable method for the diagnosis of brain tumors is described. It is based on a TLC quantitative determination of 5-methylcytosine (m(5)C) in relation to its damage products of DNA from tumor tissue. Currently, there is evidence that oxidative stress through reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role in the etiology and progression of several human diseases. Oxidative damage of DNA, lipids, and proteins is deleterious for the cell. m(5)C, along with other basic components of DNA, is the target for ROS, which results in the appearance of new modified nucleic acid bases. If so, m(5)C residue constitutes a mutational hotspot position, whether it occurs within a nucleotide sequence of a structural gene or a regulatory region. Here, we show the results of the analysis of 82 DNA samples taken from brain tumor tissues. DNA was isolated and hydrolyzed into nucleotides, which, after labeling with [gamma-(32)P]ATP, were separated on TLC. Chromatograms were evaluated using PhosphorImager and the amounts of 5-methyldeoxycytosine (m(5)dC) were calculated as a ratio (R) of m(5)dC to m(5)dC + deoxycytosine + deoxythymidine spot intensities. The R value could not only be a good diagnostic marker for brain tumors but also a factor differentiating low-grade and high-grade gliomas. Therefore, DNA methylation pattern might be a useful tool to give a primary diagnosis of a brain tumor or as a marker for the early detection of the relapse of the disease. This method has several advantages over those existing nowadays.},

abstract = {During hot application of bitumen containing materials, e.g. in hot paving or roofing, fumes are emitted that contain polycyclic aromatic compounds. Previous studies with rodents exposed to bitumen and coal-tar fume condensates showed formation of DNA adducts. In order to clarify the genotoxicity of bitumen fumes, we designed a study by using mice carrying a reporter gene for mutagenesis analysis and exposed by nose-only to a constant and reproducible aerosol of bitumen fumes. We analyzed the genotoxic activity of inhaled bitumen fumes generated under those controlled conditions through the induction of mutation and DNA adducts in Big Blue mice. Mice were exposed to bitumen fumes (100 mg/m(3) total particulate matter) 6 h per day during 5 days by nose-only in an inhalation chamber designed in our laboratory. Following a 30-day fixation period, the experiment was terminated and lung DNA was extracted for mutant frequency and adduct determinations. The mutant frequency was determined using the cII and the lacI mutant analysis systems. In, addition, 61 and 54 mutants were sequenced in control and exposed groups, respectively. The study did not show any mutation or adduct induction in the exposed group compared to the control group: cII mutant frequencies were 11.0+/-4.5x10(-5) and 11.0+/-4.8x10(-5) in control and exposed lungs, respectively. Identically, using the lacI mutation detection system, the mutant frequencies were 6.4+/-3.1x10(-5) and 5.8+/-2.0x10(-5). The mutation spectra of both series were quite similar with regard to transition and transversion frequencies. The absence of genotoxicity in the group exposed to 100 mg/m(3) bitumen is discussed with regard to dosage of inhaled polycyclic aromatic compounds and species.},
