摘要
Molecular oxygen sensitizes DNA to damage induced by ionizing radiation, Fenton-like reactions, and other free radical-mediated reactions. It rapidly converts carbon-centered radicals within DNA into peroxyl radicals, giving rise to a plethora of oxidized products consisting of nucleobase and 2-deoxyribose modifications, strand breaks and abasic sites. The mechanism of formation of single oxidation products has been extensively studied and reviewed. However, much evidence shows that reactive peroxyl radicals can propagate damage to vicinal components in DNA strands. These intramolecular reactions lead to the dual alteration of two adjacent nucleotides, designated as tandem or double lesions. Herein, current knowledge about the formation and biological implications of oxidatively generated DNA tandem lesions is reviewed. Thus far, most reported tandem lesions have been shown to arise from peroxyl radicals initially generated at pyrimidine bases, notably thymine, followed by reaction with 5'-flanking bases, especially guanine, although contiguous thymine lesions have also been characterized. Proper biomolecular processing is impaired by several tandem lesions making them refractory to base excision repair and potentially more mutagenic.
