GC/MS was performed on 8 one-pound samples using matrix-matched standards.<br />

<strong>The</strong> LOQs were 0.005 ug/g and recoveries <strong>of</strong> spiked biomarkers at 0.01, 0.1 and 1<br />

ug/g <strong>of</strong> each analyte ranged from 79 to 101%. Strawberries on d 4 contained 0.23<br />

and 0.46 ug/g malathion and fenpropathrin, respectively. Malathion and<br />

malaoxon, malathion monoacid and malathion diacid dissipated with t1/2s <strong>of</strong> 3.4,<br />

7.4, 7.5 and 6.5 d, respectively, during a 10 d study period. <strong>The</strong> derivatives were<br />

more persistent than malathion, and the malathion diacid was most abundant at<br />

each sampling. Fenpropathrin and 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (PBA) dissipated with<br />

t1/2s <strong>of</strong> 5.9 and 2.7 d, respectively. <strong>The</strong> PBA levels ranged from 0.087 to 0.021<br />

ug/g. Malathion and fenpropathrin residues were always below established residue<br />

tolerances. Potential biomarkers <strong>of</strong> pesticide exposure were present in every sample.<br />

<strong>The</strong> absorption and excretion <strong>of</strong> preformed biomarkers by consumers would falsely<br />

indicate pesticide exposure when used to reconstruct dose for risk characterization.<br />

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants<br />

and are carcinogenic in multiple organs and species. Recently, benzo[a]pyrene<br />

(B[a]P), a representative PAH has been designated as a Group 1 human carcinogen<br />

by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. B[a]P requires metabolic activation<br />

to exhibit its toxicity and carcinogenicity. <strong>The</strong> three major metabolic pathways<br />

involved include formation <strong>of</strong> radical cations (peroxidase mediated), diolepoxides<br />

(P450 mediated) and o-quinones (aldo-keto reductase mediated). We<br />

want to determine the contributions <strong>of</strong> these different metabolic pathways to cancer<br />

induction and prevention by quantitating signature metabolites from each<br />

metabolic pathway. By successfully designing and synthesizing a library <strong>of</strong> [ 13 C 4 ]-labeled<br />

B[a]P metabolite internal standards, we developed a sensitive stable isotope<br />

dilution atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry<br />

method to quantitate B[a]P metabolites. <strong>The</strong> LOD <strong>of</strong> the generally accepted biomarkers<br />

for B[a]P exposure, such as B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol and 3-OH-B[a]P, by<br />

this method was 1.5 fmol on column and their LOQ was 6 fmol on column. This<br />

method exhibits a 500 fold increased sensitivity compared with a method using<br />

HPLC-radiometric detection, which has a LOD <strong>of</strong> 1 pmol on column. This<br />

method was then applied to study the B[a]P metabolome in human bronchoalveolar<br />

H358 cells in the presence and absence <strong>of</strong> 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin<br />

(TCDD), a cytochrome P450 inducer. <strong>The</strong> sensitivity <strong>of</strong> the method should permit<br />

the metabolism <strong>of</strong> B[a]P to be measured in any setting and could also be used for<br />

biomonitoring human exposure to B[a]P. [Supported by 1P30-ES013508 and<br />

Prostate-serum antigen, a biomarker for prostate cancer detection, does not differentiate<br />

between benign and malignant cancers. Mass-spectrometry-based techniques<br />

permit the identification not only <strong>of</strong> specific proteins unique to diseased tissue,<br />

but also whether such proteins are present in a form amenable to therapeutic<br />

intervention (whether they are “on” or “<strong>of</strong>f” via posttranslational modifications<br />

[PTM]). MALDI tissue and drug imaging <strong>of</strong> cancer cells were used to identify<br />

PTM <strong>of</strong> signaling proteins. Utilizing a PTEN deficient human prostate cancer cell<br />

line, LNCaP, we examined the expression and PTM <strong>of</strong> eukaryotic initiation factor<br />

4E binding protein 1 (4EBP1) as a potential biomarker for prostate cancer. 4EBP1<br />

is a key protein involved in the PI3K/AKT and mTOR signaling pathways, it is<br />

over-expressed in certain cancers, and hyper-phosphorylated during prostate cancer<br />

progression. IP <strong>of</strong> 4EBP1 followed by MALDI, LC-MS/MS analysis and western<br />

blotting demonstrated 4EBP1 contained multiple phosphorylation sites.<br />

362 SOT 2011 ANNUAL MEETING<br />

Regulation <strong>of</strong> EGFR/RTKs by Tarceva and MP470 both modulate downstream<br />

Raf/MEK/ERK and/or mTOR/4EBP1 signaling pathways. Treatment <strong>of</strong> LNCaP<br />

cells with Tarceva/MP470 completely abolished 4EBP1 phosphorylation, as determined<br />

by 4EBP1 IP & MALDI analysis. Moreover, MALDI imaging and IHC<br />

staining permitted spatial localization <strong>of</strong> signaling proteins on frozen human<br />

prostate cancer tissue. Thus, a detailed pr<strong>of</strong>iling <strong>of</strong> “operative” growth regulatory<br />

pathways in individual patient tumor tissue is now possible with current tissue and<br />

drug imaging technology. Such information may be essential to guide the selection<br />

<strong>of</strong> pathway-selective therapy to ensure optimal tumor cell killing, and patient survival.<br />

Such “pathway pr<strong>of</strong>iling” <strong>of</strong> the primary tumor may also be <strong>of</strong> benefit when<br />

deciding on the selection <strong>of</strong> targeted therapy for metastatic sites. (GM070890,<br />

Formaldehyde (FA) is a ubiquitous chemical that is produced endogenously and<br />

used in industrial activities. It is a known carcinogen, causing squamous cell carcinoma<br />

in nasal tissue <strong>of</strong> rats, nasopharyngeal cancer in humans and has limited evidence<br />

from epidemiological studies for an association with myeloid leukemia. FA is<br />

highly reactive and can adduct to both proteins and DNA forming FA-DNA<br />

monoadducts and DNA-protein cross-links. A sensitive and selective nano-LC-<br />

MS/MS method was used to differentiate between exogenous and endogenous FAmonoadducts<br />

following whole-body exposure with [ 13 CD 2 ]-formaldehyde at 2 or 6<br />

ppm to cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) for 2 days (6 hours per day).<br />

Following completion <strong>of</strong> the exposures, the animals were immediately euthanized<br />

and tissues collected. For adduct quantitation, DNA from nasal maxilla-turbinates<br />

and femoral bone marrow were isolated, reduced with NaCNBH 3 and digested<br />

prior to HPLC fractionation. N 2 -HOCH 2 -dG and its corresponding 13 CD 2 exogenous<br />

adduct were quantified by nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS. In the nose, endogenous<br />

N 2 -HOCH 2 -dG adducts were found in all animals studied at 2.24 ± 0.50<br />

adducts/10 7 dG, while exogenous N 2 -HO 13 CD 2 -dG was present at 0.25 ± 0.04<br />

and 0.41 ± 0.05 adducts/10 7 dG at the 2 and 6 ppm exposures, respectively. In<br />

bone marrow, no exogenous adducts were detected using 5-fold more DNA, while<br />

endogenous adducts were present in all animals. Additional tissues were collected<br />

and ongoing studies are continuing to investigate adducts in several additional tissues<br />

including: lung, trachea, white blood cells, thymus, spleen, liver and brain.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se data will provide critical data for science-based risk assessment <strong>of</strong> FA exposure.<br />

It demonstrates that primates form 5-10 fold lower amounts <strong>of</strong> exogenous<br />

DNA damage in nasal tissue than is formed in rats.<br />

Research <strong>of</strong> possible impacts <strong>of</strong> toxic substances on gene expressions in a variety <strong>of</strong><br />

organisms in the environment has been hampered due to lack <strong>of</strong> detailed molecular<br />

information required. In this study, we developed a large-scale differential display<br />

systems with vertebrates-common primer sets, based on degenerate oligonucleotide-primed<br />

PCR (DOP-PCR). Inverse repeat motif <strong>of</strong> less than 8 mer was<br />

found in most transcripts (78.3-99.8%) <strong>of</strong> 8 vertebrate species from fish to primates.<br />

Furthermore, more than ten thousand 8-mer inverse repeat motifs were<br />

commonly recognized in transcripts <strong>of</strong> 8 vertebrates. Among these inverse repeat<br />

motifs, 275 common motifs were selected to cover roughly 30% <strong>of</strong> transcripts<br />

throughout 8 vertebrates. 275 DOP primers were prepared with connected with<br />

several degenerate sequences and linker sequence to 5’ end <strong>of</strong> 8-mer inverse repeat
