Abstract:
1,3-butadiene (BD) is one of the most potent and abundant carcinogens present in cigarette smoke. BD is metabolically activated to 3,4-epoxy-1-butene (EB), 1,2,3,4-diepoxy butane (DEB), hydroxymethylvinylketone (HMVK), and 3,4-epoxy-1,2-butanediol (EBD), which can react with DNA nucleobases and proteins to form promutagenic adducts. Alternatively, these electrophilic metabolites can be detoxified via hydrolysis or conjugation with glutathione. The glutathione conjugates of these metabolites are ultimately excreted in urine as 1-hydroxy 2-(N-acetylcysteinyl)-3-butene (MHBMA), 1,4-bis-(N-acetylcysteinyl)butane-2,3-diol (bis-BDMA), 1,2-dihydroxy-4-(N-acetylcysteinyl)-butane (DHBMA), and 1,2,3-trihydroxy-4-(N-acetylcysteinyl)-butane (THBMA), respectively. Since epoxide metabolites of BD are thought to be responsible for its adverse health effects, it is important to develop specific biomarkers of their formation in vivo to be used in molecular epidemiology studies. While MHBMA, DHBMA, THBMA have been previously detected in smoker's urine, bis-BDMA has not been reported. In the present study, novel stable isotope dilution HPLC-ESI-MS/MS methods for accurate and precise quantification of MHBMA, DHBMA, THBMA, and bis-BDMA in urine have been developed. Dose dependent formation of all BD-mercapturic acids including bis-BDMA was observed in urine samples from male and female F344 rats exposed to 0, 62.5 and 200 ppm of BD for 2 weeks by inhalation. The relative amounts of MHBMA, DHBMA, THBMA, and bis-BDMA in rat urine were 20:50:50:1. Furthermore, MHBMA, DHBMA, and THBMA were detected in urine samples from known smokers and non-smokers, with significantly higher concentrations observed in smokers. The mean levels of these BD-mercapturic acids in smokers were 3, 340, and 27 ng/mg creatinine, respectively. In contrast, bis-BDMA could not be detected in human urine samples, probably a result of the inefficient DEB formation in humans. These methods are now being applied to a multi-ethnic cohort study to identify any differences in metabolism that contribute to ethnic and inter-individual differences in lung cancer incidence.
