Etheno-DNA adducts are generated from exogenous carcinogens such as vinyl chloride and urethane and also from endogenous lipid peroxidation products such as trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE). The present authors and others have established that 1,N-6-ethenodeoxyadenosine (odA) and 3,N-4-ethenodeoxycytidine (epsilon dC) are present in human urine and could be explored as biomarkers for monitoring whole-body oxidative stress. The present study reports on a new ultrasensitive P-32-postlabelling/thin-layer chromatography (TLC) method for the analysis of epsilon dC as deoxynucleoside in human urine. The urine samples were purified and enriched on a solid-phase silica C-18 column followed by a semi-preparative reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The purified sample was labelled with a multisubstrate deoxyribonucleoside kinase from Drosophila melanogaster (Dm-dNK) in the presence of 5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) as internal standard. The absolute sensitivity of the method was 0.1 fmol epsilon dC detectable in 500 mu l of human urine. The analysis of human urine samples from 15 healthy volunteers revealed a mean epsilon dC level of 2.499 +/- 1.76 (SD) fmol mu mol(-1) creatinine (range 0.66-6.42). By this non-invasive method, epsilon dC in human urine could be explored as a biomarker for oxidative stress-related human diseases.
