Abstract
INTRODUCTION: 8-OHdG (8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine) is generated after the repair of ROS-mediated DNA damages and has been widely used as a biomarker for oxidative stress. Oxidative damage to DNA has been associated with numerous pathological conditions, including cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to develop a method to measure 8-OHdG in urine by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).
METHODS: Stable isotope-labelled 8-OHdG was used as internal standard. 8-OHdG was separated from the biological fluid using solid phase extraction (SPE). The elution solvent was injected into a LC-MS/MS (Waters Xevo TQ-XS). Samples were separated on a BEH Amide column followed by positive electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometric detection.
RESULTS: The linearity of 8-OHdG was between 0.2 to 20 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.997. The coefficient variation for inter- and intra-day imprecision was less than 4.8%. The accuracy was evaluated by spike recovery and the mean recovery was 106%-109%. No carryover and ion suppressant or enhancement was observed in this validated method.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, we have developed a rapid, sensitive, and robust UPLC-MS/MS method for the quantification of 8OHdG in urine, which can provide results to assist in the assessment of oxidative stress.
