Abstract The mechanisms that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 binding to S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) interacted with DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and then regulated DNA damage caused by PAHs remain unclear. A total of 146 occupational workers in a Chinese coke-oven plant in 2014 were included in the final analyses. We used high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) equipped to detect urine biomarkers of PAHs exposure, including 2-hydroxynaphthalene (2-NAP), 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-FLU), 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (9-PHE), 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP). The levels of SAM and SAH in plasma were detected by HPLC-ultraviolet. By constructing various BEAS-2B cell models exposed to 16 µM Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) for 24 h, toxicological parameters reflecting distinct mechanisms were evaluated. We documented that urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) levels were positively associated with blood H19 RNA expression (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.03 - 2.19), but opposite to plasma SAHH activity (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.41 - 0.98) in coke oven workers. Moreover, by constructing various BEAS-2B cell models exposed to Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), we investigated that H19 binding to SAHH exaggerated DNMT1 expressions and activity. Suppression of H19 enhanced the interaction of SAHH and DNMT1 in BaP-treated cells, decreased OGG1 methylation, reduced oxidative DNA damage and lessened S phase arrest. However, SAHH or DNMT1 single knockdown and SAHH/DNMT1 double knockdown showed the opposite trend. A H19/SAHH/DNMT1 axis was involved in OGG1 methylation, oxidative DNA damage and cell cycle arrest by carcinogen BaP.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine (i) associations between levels of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) mixture with 16 targeted PAH compounds in the personal breathing zone area and sperm oxidative DNA damage, (ii) associations between levels of individual PAH compounds and sperm oxidative DNA damage, (iii) oxidative stress as the mode of action for the genotoxic effects on sperm, and (iv) any dose–response relationship between exposure to the PAH mixture and/or individual PAH compounds and sperm oxidative DNA damage. Methods Sixteen targeted PAH compounds in the personal breathing zone area of 38 coke-oven workers and 24 control subjects were quantified using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Sperm oxidative damage and status were evaluated by measuring levels of sperm 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanie (8-oxodGuo), seminal malondialdehyde (MDA) and seminal reactive oxygen species (ROS). Bayesian kernel machine regression with hierarchical variable selection process was employed to determine associations of the PAH mixture and the biomarkers of sperm oxidative damage. A novel grouping approach needed for the hierarchical variable selection process was developed based on PAH bay region and molecular weight. Results The PAH mixture exhibited a positive trend with increased sperm 8-oxodGuo levels at their lower percentiles (25th–50th). The exposure of the PAH mixture was associated with increased MDA levels in sperm. Bay and bay-like regions of the PAH mixture were the most important group for estimating the associations between the PAH mixture and sperm oxidative stress status. Benzo[a]anthracene was the main individual PAH compound that was associated with increased MDA levels. Conclusion Sperm oxidative DNA damage induced by occupational exposure to the PAH mixture had a suggestive association with increased MDA levels in coke-oven workers. Finally, the study identified that the individual PAH compound, benzo[a]anthracene, was the primary driver for the suggestive association between the PAH mixture and sperm oxidative damage.

DNA damage and base excision repair (BER) are actively involved in the modulation of DNA methylation and demethylation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we seek to understand the mechanisms by exploring the effects of oxidative DNA damage on the DNA methylation pattern of the tumor suppressor breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene in the human embryonic kidney (HEK) HEK293H cells. We found that oxidative DNA damage simultaneously induced DNA demethylation and generation of new methylation sites at the CpGs located at the promoter and transcribed regions of the gene ranging from −189 to +27 in human cells. We demonstrated that DNA damage-induced demethylation was mediated by nucleotide misincorporation by DNA polymerase β (pol β). Surprisingly, we found that the generation of new DNA methylation sites was mediated by coordination between pol β and the de novo DNA methyltransferase, DNA methyltransferase 3b (DNMT3b), through the interaction between the two enzymes in the promoter and encoding regions of the BRCA1 gene. Our study provides the first evidence that oxidative DNA damage can cause dynamic changes in DNA methylation in the BRCA1 gene through the crosstalk between BER and de novo DNA methylation.
