Objectives. To determine the effects of exposure to hexavalent chromium, 93 male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to hexavalent chromium solution. Methods. Rats were divided into 4 groups and exposed to 0.1ml of 0 mM, 0.4 mM, 2.0 mM, and 10.0 mM potassium chromate in the first experiment, and to 0.1 ml of 0 mM, 20 mM, 40 mM, and 80 mM in the second for consecutive 3 days by tracheal instillation. Three and 10 rats were the controls for the first and the second experiments, respectively. Lung tissues were then removed to measure the 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) level using the HPLC-ECD method, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity using the cytochrome C method, and 8-hydroxyguanine endonuclease activity using the oligonucleotide nicking assay. Results. The results showed no significant linear relationship between chromium exposure level and 8-OH-dG level or 8-hydroxyguanine endonuclease activity. In the first experiment, 8-OH-dG level and 8-hydroxyguanine endonuclease activity increased in 0.4 mM group, and then decreased in 2.0 mM and 10.0 mM groups. The correlation coefficients between 8-OH-dG level and 8-hydroxyguanine endonuclease activity was statistically significant (P<0.01), and total SOD activity was elevated by chromium exposure in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). In contrast, there was no significant dose-response pattern or correlation in the secod experiment. Conclusions. Based on the fact that there was no linear relationship between chromium dose and 8-OH-dG level or activity of the repair enzyme, it seems unlikely that 8-OH-dG formation is the major mechanism of chromium carcinogenesis.

All that is presently known about the actions of 8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxoguanine; oh$^{8}$ Gua) in DNA is that it harms genetic integrity. This is even speculation based upon scattered in vitro experimental data such as the mismatch of oh$^{8}$ Gua with A in stead of C and the GC longrightarrow TA transversion observed in the DNA polymerase reaction using an oh$^{8}$ Gua containing oligonucleotide.(omitted)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance training and Rooibos-tea treatment during 12 week on lipid peroxidation(MDA), oxidative DNA damage(8-hydroxyguanine), and antioxidant enzymes(SOD, GPX) in human. The subjects were divided into three groups; Train+Rooi, Train, and Rooi groups. The Train+Rooi and Rooi group took 3 g of Rooibos-tea for 12 weeks. Blood samples were taken from antecubital vein at before training, after 6week, and after 12 week training. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with repeated measures using the SPSS/PC⁺. The results are summarized as follows: MDA and 8-hydroxyguanine concentration were no significantly differences between group(p>.05). SOD and GPX concentration were significantly increased in Train+Rooi, Rooi group than Train group(p<.05). This results suggested that effects of Rooibos-tea treatment has associated with improve scavenger of antioxidant.

8-Hydroxyguanine(oh$\^$8/Gua), an oxidative DNA adduct is a most easily and abundantly formed base modification. What we have known about oh$\^$8/Gua so far is that this DNA adduct mediates the mutagenesis and it is used as a useful marker of oxidative DNA damage. We found additional evidence and here present them: 1) oh$\^$8/Gua in DNA can trigger cell death by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and 2) it can be used to assess the oxidative damage of each individual gene.(omitted)

Oxidative stress by reactive oxygen species (ROS) damages cellular DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids and others causing various diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and heart diseases. 8-Hydroxyguanine (8-OHG) is one of the products formed from DNA or RNA damaged by ROS. Since high amounts of 8-OHG can be excreted in urine, it may serve as a potential biomarker indicating the level of oxidative damage to nucleic acids. Residents in industrial area with severe air pollution are expected to be affected by higher level of oxidative stress from pollutants like polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), etc. Smokers are also expected to be damaged by higher level of oxidative stress from cigarette smoke components like PAHs than non-smokers. To examine if the determination of the urinary concentration of 8-OHG could be used as exposure biomarker for the oxidative stress caused by air-pollutants, this study was performed to determine and compare the urinary concentrations of 8-OHG in smokers and non-smokers, or non-polluted area residents and polluted area residents. Urine samples were collected and purified by a strong cation exchange and cellulose partition column, then analyzed by HPLC with electrochemical detector at 600 ㎷ potential. Concentrations of urinary 8-OHG in non-smokers and smokers of Seoul area college male students were determined as 15.12$\pm$9.68 (ng/mg creatinine) and 34.72$\pm$11.72 (ng/mg creatinine), respectively, showing significantly higher level of 8-OHG in smokers than in non-smokers. Urine samples of elementary school students were collected from Sokcho area, which is known to be non-polluted, and 3 representative polluted areas; Yocheon industrial area, Ulsan urban and Ulsan industrial area. The concentrations of 8-OHG in these samples were 12.42$\pm$8.27 (ng/ mg creatinine, Sokcho), 22.55$\pm$9.12 (ng/mg creatinine, Yocheon), 17.41$\pm$2.30 (ng/mg creatinine, Ulsan urban), 55.04$\pm$39.73 (ng/mg creatinine, Ulsan industrial). Thus, samples from polluted area tend to have higher level of 8-OHG and the levels of Yocheon and Ulsan industrial area were significantly higher than that of Sokcho area. The results indicate that the residents of polluted industrial area or smokers are more severely exposed to oxidative stress probably caused by air pollutants like PAHs. Thus, the determination of urinary 8-OHG concentration could be used as biomarker for the extent of body exposure to oxidative stress caused by various pollutants.

Abstract To study the status of oxidative DNA damage in Helicobacter pylori infection in more details, gene-specific oxidative DNA damage was investigated by examining oxidative DNA damage to individual genes. This was done by determining the loss of PCR product of a targeted gene before and after gastric mucosal DNA was treated with 8-hydroxyguanine glycosylase, which cleaves DNA at the 8-hydroxyguanine residues.(omitted)

To assess the role of 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1) in the cell defense against radiation injury, the radiation-induced cytotoxicities were compared between the mutant type KG-1 featuring a loss of OGG1 activity due to a homozygous mutation of Arg 229 G1n, and the wild type U937.(omitted)
