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 />

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
