Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Humans are exposed to N-nitroso compounds through environmental exposure and endogenous metabolism. Some N-nitroso compounds can be metabolically activated to yield diazoacetate, which is known to induce DNA carboxymethylation. DNA lesion measurement remains one of the core tasks in toxicology and in evaluating human health risks associated with carcinogen exposure. In this study, we developed a highly sensitive nanoflow liquid chromatography-nanoelectrospray ionization-multistage tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-nESI-MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of O-carboxymethyl-2′-deoxyguanosine (O-CMdG), O-methyl-2′-deoxyguanosine (O-MedG), and N-carboxymethyl-2′-deoxyadenosine (N-CMdA). We were able to measure the levels of these three lesions with the use of low-microgram quantities of DNA from cultured human skin fibroblasts and human colorectal carcinoma cells treated with azaserine, a DNA carboxymethylating agent. Our results revealed that the levels of O-CMdG and O-MedG increased when the dose of azaserine was increased from 0 to 450 μM. We, however, did not observe an apparent dose-dependent induction of N-CMdA, suggesting the presence of repair mechanism(s) for the rapid clearance of this lesion in cells. This is the first report about the application of nLC-nESI-MS technique for the simultaneous quantification of O-CMdG, O-MedG, and N-CMdA. The method reported here will be useful for future investigations about the repair of the carboxymethylated DNA lesions and about the implications of these lesions in carcinogenesis.
