摘要：

The oxygen radical-induced DNA lesion 8-oxo,7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) is the most commonly measured marker of oxidative DNA damage, which is currently considered a main cause of aging. However, a detailed study of the age-related variations of this marker in both mitochondrial (mtDNA) and nuclear (nDNA) DNA of post-mitotic organs throughout the life span has not been previously performed. In this investigation 8-oxodG steady-state levels were simultaneously measured in mtDNA and nDNA in the heart and brain of Sprague-Dawley rats at up to five different ages covering most of the adult life span, 4, 8, 12, 17 and 24 months of age, using exactly the same digestion of DNA to deoxynucleosides and chromatographic procedures for mtDNA and nDNA. 8-oxodG levels were maintained without changes during young and middle age in all cases, but showed statistically significant increases at the older ages studied in the majority of the kinds of DNA investigated. These age-related increases in oxidative damage occurred in brain nDNA at 17 and 24 months of age, in heart nDNA at 24 months of age, and in brain mtDNA at 24 months of age, whereas no significant age-related changes were detected in heart mtDNA. Besides, 8-oxodG levels were various fold higher in mtDNA than in nDNA, both in brain and heart, at all the ages studied. The results show that oxidative damage to DNA is higher in the mtDNA than in the nDNA of post-mitotic tissues throughout the whole life span of the rat and that and increase in mtDNA and nDNA oxidative stress occurs in most cases in old animals.
