LC/MS detection of 8-oxo-dGuo in AhR siRNA-transfected and nontransfected H358 cells-treated with B[a]P-7,8-dione. AhR siRNA-transfected H358 cells and nontransfected H358 cells were treated with B[a]P-7,8-dione for 6 h. The cellular DNA was then extracted and digested. The levels of 8-oxo-dGuo in samples were determined by LC-ESI/MS/MRM. A, LC/MS chromatograms of 8-oxo-dGuo in AhR siRNA-transfected H358 cellular DNA. The upper two panels show ion-chromatograms for the detection of endogenous 8-oxo-dGuo and the deuterated [15N5]8-oxo-dGuo internal standard obtained from parental H358 cells-treated with B[a]P-7,8-dione. The lower two panels show ion chromatograms for the detection of 8-oxo-dGuo and the heavy isotope [15N5]8-oxo-dGuo internal standard obtained from AhR siRNA-transfected H358 cells treated with B[a]P-7,8-dione. B, levels of 8-oxo-dGuo in both AhR siRNA-transfected and nontransfected H358 cells-treated with B[a]P-7,8-dione. Significant effects were found between AhR siRNA-transfected H358 cells and nontransfected H358 cells. *, p < 0.05. A detailed description can be found under “Experimental Procedures.”
