Abstract
- It is difficult to screen the increasing numerous chemicals in the environment for DNA damage by traditional methods. Therefore, it is urgent to find new markers and establish simple, rapid and low-cost new DNA damage detection methods. In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced DNA damage in HT-1080 cells was investigated, and the two electrochemical signals of HT-1080 cells at 0.69 and 1.03 V, respectively, coming from mixture of guanine (G) and xanthine (X) and hypoxanthine (HX) displayed parabolic changes, showing a time- and dose-dependent increase within 4 h and 5 mM, which was completely different from the trend of cell proliferation. The time- and dose-dependent DNA damage of cells exposed to EMS was detected by both alkaline comet and micronucleus assay. The HPLC found that the levels of HX, G and X in HT-1080 cells quickly rose to the peak values within 4 h, and felt back. The changes of intracellular purine levels were reliable biomarkers of DNA damage, and monitoring the content changes of intracellular purines by electrochemical method could simply and quickly evaluate the DNA damage toxicity of chemicals. This study provided a new perspective for the evaluation of DNA damage. [Display omitted] • EMS-induced DNA damage led to the increase of intracellular purine level. • The changes of intracellular purine bases could be used as markers of DNA damage. • Electrochemistry could track the level change of purine in cells when DNA was damaged. • The electrochemical signal of cells could reflect the early DNA damage.
