<i>In vivo</i> localization and postmortem stability of benzo[<i>a</i>]pyrene‐DNA adducts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
DNA adducts of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) play a critical role in the etiology of gastrointestinal tract cancers in humans and other species orally exposed to PAHs. Yet, the precise localization of PAH‐DNA adducts in the gastrointestinal tract, and the long‐term postmortem PAH‐DNA adduct stability are unknown. To address these issues, the following experiment was performed. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with the PAH carcinogen benzo[ a ]pyrene (BP) and euthanized at 24 h. Tissues were harvested either at euthanasia (0 time), or after 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 168 hr (7 days) of storage at 4°C. Portions of mouse tissues were formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded, and immunohistochemically (IHC) evaluated by incubation with r7,t8‐dihydroxy‐t‐9,10‐epoxy‐7,8,9,10‐tetrahydrobenzo[ a ]pyrene (BPDE)‐DNA antiserum and H‐scoring. The remaining tissues were frozen, and DNA was extracted and assayed for the r7,t8,t9‐trihydroxy‐c‐10‐( N 2 ‐deoxyguanosyl)‐7,8,9,10‐tetrahydrobenzo[ a ]pyrene (BPdG) adduct using two quantitative assays, the BPDE‐DNA chemiluminescence immunoassay (CIA), and high‐performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC‐ES‐MS/MS). By IHC, which required intact nuclei, BPdG adducts were visualized in forestomach basal cells, which included gastric stem cells, for up to 7 days. In proximal small intestine villus epithelium BPdG adducts were visualized for up to 12 hr. By BPDE‐DNA CIA and HPLC‐ES‐MS/MS, both of which used DNA for analysis and correlated well ( P = 0.0001), BPdG adducts were unchanged in small intestine, forestomach, and lung stored at 4°C for up to 7 days postmortem. In addition to localization of BPdG adducts, this study reveals the feasibility of examining PAH‐DNA adduct formation in wildlife species living in colder climates. Environ. Mol.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
