Aromatic DNA adducts in brain tumors by 32P-postlabeling analysis.
    Cancer letters, 1993, Oct-15, Volume: 74, Issue:1-2

    DNA from human brain tumor samples was analysed by the 32P-postlabeling technique for the presence of aromatic DNA adducts. Thirteen out of 16 samples showed low levels of adducts at 0.14-3.53 adducts per 10(9) nucleotides. Inter-individual variations in the patterns of these aromatic adducts were observed. On the other hand, none of 5 brain samples from epilepsy patients revealed any evidence of such adducts. The data demonstrated the presence of low level, large molecule aromatic DNA adducts in malignant brain tissues and these adducts may either result from environmental exposure to an undetermined genotoxic agent or from the aging process.

Proteins from human cerebrospinal fluid: binding with nucleic acids.
    Science (New York, N.Y.), 1973, Oct-19, Volume: 182, Issue:4109

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contains two groups of proteins that bind tightly to DNA and to polyriboguanylic acid, respectively. In certain diseases the amounts of a given nucleic acid bound by a constant volume of CSF may increase, while in others the amount of such proteins may be reduced. Binding of polyriboguanylic acid increased in CSF samples from patients with brain tumors, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and communicating hydrocephalus, but it significantly decreased in CSF samples from patients with obstructive hydrocephalus. These increases may or may not be proportional to the rise in total CSF proteins characteristic for these diseases. Elevated binding of DNA was observed in samples from patients with hydrocephalus, epilepsy, and cortical atrophy. The technique described may be applicable to the diagnosis of a variety of diseases of the central nervous system.
