- Site-Specific Incorporation of N-(2′-Deoxyguanosine-8-yl)-6-aminochrysene Adduct in DNA and Its Replication in Human Cells
-
The environmental pollutant 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC) is a potent mutagen and a mammary carcinogen in rats. 6-NC is the most potent carcinogen ever tested in the newborn mouse assay. In mammalian cells, it is metabolically activated by nitroreduction and a combination of ring oxidation and nitroreduction pathways. The nitroreduction pathway yields two major adducts with 2′-deoxyguanosine (dG), one at the C8-position, N-(dG-8-yl)-6-AC, and the other at the exocyclic N2-position, 5-(dG-N2-yl)-6-AC. Here, we report the total synthesis of a site-specific oligonucleotide containing the 6-NC-derived C8 dG adduct, N-(dG-8-yl)-6-AC. Pd-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig cross coupling of 6-aminochrysene with protected C8-bromo-dG derivative served as the key reaction to furnish protected N-(dG-8-yl)-6-AC in 56% yield. The monomer for solid-phase DNA synthesis was prepared by its deprotection followed by conversion to the corresponding 5′-O-dimethoxytrityl 3′-phosphoramidite, which was used to synthesize a site-specifically adducted oligonucleotide. After purification and characterization, the adduct-containing oligonucleotide was incorporated into a plasmid and replicated in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells, which showed that N-(dG-8-yl)-6-AC stalls DNA replication as evidenced by 77% translesion synthesis (TLS) efficiency relative to the control and that the adduct is mutagenic (mutation frequency (MF) 17.8%) inducing largely G→T transversions. We also investigated the roles of several translesion synthesis DNA polymerases in the bypass of N-(dG-8-yl)-6-AC using siRNA knockdown approach. TLS efficiency was reduced in hPol η-, hPol κ-, hPol ζ-, and hREV1-deficient HEK 293T cells to 66%, 45%, 37%, and 32%, respectively. Notably, TLS efficiency was reduced to 18% in cells with concurrent knockdown of hPol κ, hPol ζ, and REV1, suggesting that these three polymerases play critical roles in bypassing N-(dG-8-yl)-6-AC. MF increased to 23.1% and 32.2% in hPol κ- and hREV1-deficient cells, whereas it decreased to 11.8% in hPol ζ-deficient cells. This suggests that hPol κ and hREV1 are involved in error-free TLS of this lesion, whereas hPol ζ performs error-prone bypass.

- Synthesis of oligonucleotides containing 2′-deoxyguanosine adducts of nitropyrenes
-
Two different approaches to synthesize oligonucleotides containing the 2′-deoxyguanosine adducts formed by nitropyrenes are described. A direct reaction of an unmodified oligonucleotide with an activated nitropyrene derivative is a convenient biomimetic approach for generating the major adducts in DNA. A total synthetic approach, by contrast, involves several synthetic steps, including Buchwald-Hartwig Pd-catalyzed coupling, but can be used for incorporating both the major and minor adducts in DNA in high yield.
