Emerging evidence highlights the importance of biomarkers for understanding the mechanisms underlying SPTB. One such biomarker, 8-OH-2dG, plays a critical role in evaluating oxidative stress and its impact on pregnancy outcomes. It has been demonstrated that 8-OH-2dG is a product of oxidative DNA damage and is widely recognized as a key indicator of cellular oxidative stress. Elevated reactive oxygen species in SPTB result in higher levels of the DNA degradation product 8-OH-2dG in amniotic fluid, causing damage to maternal and fetal tissues that could lead to premature rupture of fetal membranes. Therefore, evaluating the role of 8-OH-2dG in SPTB is of great interest. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on 8-OH-2dG as a biomarker for SPTB and aims to elucidate its mechanism in this condition.展开更多

To clarify whether the pathology of gastric carcinoma are related to oxidative DNA damage, the expression of 8-hydroxy-2＇-deoxyguanosine （8-OHdG） was examined in 30 patients with gastric carcinomas. Methods： The expression of 8-OHdG and apoptosis in the gastric carcinoma were measured using the methods of immunocytochemistry and deoxynucleartididyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling （TUNEL）, respectively. Results： Of the 30 cases, 25（83%） showed stronger immunoreactivity than normal control. The patients with poorly differentiated gastric carcinoma had a larger tumor size and higher labeling indices of TUNEL- and 8-OHdG-positive cells than those with well and moderately differentiated gastric carcinoma. Conclusion： Our findings suggest that oxidative DNA damage is increased in association with necroinflammation in chronic gastric injuries and determination of 8-OHdG is useful in assessing high-grade malignancy in gastric carcinomas.展开更多

The effects of explicit and implicit solvent molecules on the hydrolysis cleavage of N-Glycosidic bond in 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2＇-deoxyguanosine （8-oxo-dG） have been systematically clarified in the present work based upon two types of computational models. Detailed potential energy surface （PES） scans and full unconstraint optimizations for all the representative points on PESs were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31＋G（d） level of theory. The effect of implicit solvent was tested by single-point calculation at the SCRF/IEF-PCM model. The results illustrate that the direct hydrolysis model involving one explicit water molecule can’t provide a complete depiction of the hydrolysis process of 8-oxo-dG, attributed to the insufficiency of nucleophile activation and leaving group stabilization. The expansion hydrolysis model involving four explicit water molecules, however, facilitates discrete proton transfer and therefore produces smooth reaction surfaces for both the dissociative （SN1） and concerted （SN2） pathways. The presence of the implicit solvent substantially lowers all activation energies and the SN1 process is more favorable than the SN2 process. The data and insights present here agree well with the experimental results and have given out a baseline for the enzymatic deglycosylation reaction of 8-oxo-dG.展开更多
