However, the oxidative stress markers 8 oxoguanine (8-oxoGua), a product of the DNA base excision repair and 8 oxoguanosine (8-oxoGuo), a marker for oxidative damaged RNA have received less attention up to now. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in the regulation processes of the blood pressure system. During hypertension angiotensin II (Ang II) and aldosterone (Aldo) are released in high concentrations over a longer period leading to non-physiological effects of the RAAS hormones. Subsequently, an increase of the intracellular oxidative stress level in kidney cells can be measured. The aim of this thesis is the in vitro and in vivo detection of the oxidative damage in DNA and RNA by measuring oxidative stress markers, especially 8-oxodG which is triggered by Ang II and Aldo. In vitro experiments were carried out in LLC-PK1, a cell line originated from porcine kidney cells. It could been shown that Ang II and Aldo led to a dose-dependent increase of DNA damage in the cells. A time-dependent increase was detected for the first 30 minutes of the treatment. For the rest of the experimental set up (4 h) the level of detected DNA damage remained constant. The FPG comet assay and the immunocytochemical staining showed a significant increase of 8-oxodG in the cells, whereas the HPLC-MS/MS measurement only detected a small increase of 8-oxodG in the DNA. The FPG enzyme, which recognises also other oxidized purines besides 8-oxodG, which led to an overestimation of 8-oxodG in the comet assay. Also, the 8 oxodG antibody, which was used in the immunocytochemical analysis, detected higher amounts of 8-oxodG most likely due to its side reactions with other oxidized DNA structures. One of the main advantages of the last mentioned methods is the direct measurement in damaged cells, whereas the HPLC-MS/MS requires an isolation of the DNA. During this isolation process the oxidative stress markers can be oxidized and the detection can become imprecise. The main purpose of the in vivo experiments was the detection of the oxidative stress marker 8-oxoGua, 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo in the urine of test animals. The treatment of C57BL/6 mice and Sprague Dawley (SD) rats with the RAAS hormones led to an increase of the blood pressure, higher DNA damage due to oxidative stress as well as an increased excretion rate of oxidative stress markers. The inhibition of the angiotensin II type 1- or mineralocorticoid receptor and a mutation of the AT1a gene could show, that the DNA damage is independent from the hypertension. In addition, it was shown that the NOX4 is not alone responsible for the oxidative stress. Other NADPH oxidases must contribute to the induction of oxidative stress inside the cell. Moreover, the activation of the Nrf2 pathway has an influence on the effect of Aldo in SD rats. The excretion rate of the oxidative stress markers in the 20 h urine of the treated animals showed how the equilibrium between the DNA repair and the oxidative stress level was changing over time. The measurement of 8-oxoGuo became more and more popular, because up to the fact that 80 \% of the DNA is translated into RNA. Overall, the detection of 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo is feasible for monitoring the disease or the healing process, because the measurement is non-invasive. The detection of 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo in nucleic acids is a first step into the field of basic research methods, because it reveals a snapshot of the nucleic acid damage in the cell at a specific time point. Usually, there will be an overestimation of the oxidative stress marker resulting from the analytical method. Although, it is possible to detect an underestimation of oxidative stress markers in tissue samples if not all cell types are damaged equally. Therefore, a primary goal should be the detection of a stable oxidation product of guanine to insure a reliable detection strategy and for a better understanding of the equilibrium of DNA oxidation and repair.}, subject = {Oxidativer Stress}, language = {de} }
