Detection of DNA Adducts in Skin Biopsies of Coal Tar-Treated Psoriasis Patients: Immunofluorescence and <sup>32</sup>P Postlabeling

Abstract: A clinical therapy for psoriasis, a hyperproliferative disease of the skin, utilizes topical application of crude coal tar sometimes followed by UV irradiation (Goeckerman therapy). To investigate the formation of covalent DNA adducts resulting from this therapy, skin biopsies were obtained from treated patients and controls. Indirect immunofluorescence staining with antisera generated against benzo(a)pyrene diol epoxide-modified DNA was used to investigate cell-specific localization of adduct formation. Speci… Show more

“…Interestingly, rat liver microsomal metabolism of 9-fluoro-BaP gives both trans-7,8-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxy-9-fluoro-BaP and trans-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxy-9-fluoro-BaP suggesting the 7,8 bond as a possible target for the second oxidation step of 9-hydroxy-BaP (39). Studies are underway to explore the Human/Polish coke oven workers (2) 15.3 Human/aluminum smelter workers (1) 1.48-3.08 Human/psoriasis patients treated with coal tar (6) 0. 18-9.4 Human/cigarette smokers (5) Human/roofers (4) 0.…”

“…Industrial populations exposed to processes such as aluminum smelters (1), coke ovens (2), iron and steel foundries (3), and roofing (4), and populations exposed to cigarette smoke (5) and genotoxic agents have been studied (6). In all of these studies, peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) have be used as the accessible target tissue in which to measure the formation of DNA adducts.…”

“…Since the advent of sensitive techniques that can measure DNA adducts in human tissues at extremely high levels of sensitivity, there has been numerous papers describing studies on DNA adducts in humans exposed to environmental agents. Industrial populations exposed to processes such as aluminum smelters (1), coke ovens (2), iron and steel foundries (3), and roofing (4), and populations exposed to cigarette smoke (5) and genotoxic agents have been studied (6). In all of these studies, peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) have be used as the accessible target tissue in which to measure the formation of DNA adducts.…”

“…In the skin, adduct measurement was performed in relation to occupational/medical exposure to PAHs rather than tobacco smoking. For example, in psoriasis patients treated with coal tar, speci®c nuclear staining for ( §)-anti-BPDE-DNA adducts detected by the indirect immuno¯uorescence method was observed in skin biopsies (Zhang et al 1990). The same samples revealed a pattern of multiple DNA adducts in NP1 32 P-postlabelling analyses (Zhang et al 1990).…”

Similar results were also reported by our group in coal tar-treated eczema patients (Godschalk et al 1998).…”
