TLDR
The results seem to confirm that ETS exposure is capable of inducing some oxidative DNA damage in circulating leukocytes and that coffee and tea consumption might partially protect against smoking-induced oxidation damage.
Abstract
We investigated the effects of smoking and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on oxidative DNA damage by measuring 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) levels in DNA of leukocytes of healthy donors (30 smokers, 29 nonsmokers, and 28 ETS-exposed subjects). Nonsmokers had lower 8-oxodGuo levels compared with smokers (5.94 ± 0.87 × 10−6 and 19.85 ± 4.75 × 10−6 2-deoxyguanosine, respectively, means ± SE, P = 0.00007). Subjects exposed to ETS had higher mean value of 8-oxodGuo compared with nonsmokers (9.18 ± 1.53 × 10−6 2-deoxyguanosine, mean ± SE), nonsignificant by univariate analysis ( P = 0.074). Multiregression analysis indicated that the increase of 8-oxodGuo levels induced by ETS was significant ( P = 0.045) and that coffee and tea consumption reduced DNA oxidation ( P = 0.0053). Oxidative leukocyte DNA damage was positively correlated with plasma cotinine levels in ETS-exposed subjects ( r = 0.47, P < 0.01, n = 28) and was increased by age in nonsmokers and ETS-exposed subjects ( P = 0.049). The results seem to confirm that ETS exposure is capable of inducing some oxidative DNA damage in circulating leukocytes and that coffee and tea consumption might partially protect against smoking-induced oxidation damage.

Circulating Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Clinical Studies on Type 2 Diabetes and Its Complications

TL;DR: Overall, enhanced oxidative damage represents an underlying mechanism of glucose toxicity in T2DM and its related micro- and macrovascular complications suggesting that it may be considered as a potential additional target for pharmacotherapy.

Relationships among smoking, oxidative stress, inflammation, macromolecular damage, and cancer.

TL;DR: A growing body of evidence supports a key role for smoking-induced ROS and the resulting oxidative stress in inflammation and carcinogenesis, and potentially increased oxidative damage to macromolecular targets that may lead to cancer initiation and/or progression.

Second hand smoke, age of exposure and lung cancer risk.

TL;DR: In this paper, the association between second hand smoke exposure and lung cancer was investigated for three different activities (leisure, work and at home) for a population of 1669 cases and 1263 controls.

Oxidative DNA damage and plasma antioxidant capacity in type 2 diabetic patients with good and poor glycaemic control.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that patients with type 2 diabetes have a higher oxidative DNA damage than healthy subjects and that plasma antioxidant capacity is significantly lower only in patients with poor glycaemic control, moreover, in these patients FRAP values are positively correlated with glycaemia levels and HbA(1c).

Impact of Environmental Tobacco Smoke on the Incidence of Mutations in Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Gene in Never-Smoker Patients With Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

TL;DR: ETS exposure is negatively associated with EGFR mutations in never smokers with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and adulthood ETS and household ETS were significantly associated with the incidence of EG FR mutations.

A reagent for the single-step simultaneous isolation of RNA, DNA and proteins from cell and tissue samples.

TL;DR: The complete recovery of DNA from samples used for the RNA and protein isolation makes it possible to normalize the results of gene expression studies based on DNA content instead of on the more variable total RNA, protein content or tissue weight.

Insertion of specific bases during DNA synthesis past the oxidation-damaged base 8-oxodG.

TL;DR: DCMP and dAMP are incorporated selectively opposite 8-oxodG with transient inhibition of chain extension occurring 3' to the modified base, and the potentially mutagenic insertion of dAMP is targeted exclusively to the site of the lesion.

TL;DR: By focusing in this review on several important carcinogens in tobacco smoke, the complexities in understanding tobacco-induced cancer can be reduced, and new approaches for lung cancer prevention can be envisioned.

Reactions of oxyl radicals with DNA.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the damage caused to DNA by reactive oxygen-centred radicals, which arise either from the radiolysis of water by ionizing radiation, or from a purely chemical source.

Oxidative damage to DNA in diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: Diabetic patients showed greater oxidative damage to DNA, with increased generation of ROS, than controls, and such changes might contribute to accelerated aging and atherogenesis in diabetes and to the microangiopathic complications of the disease.
