DNA or RNA damage can hinder the ability of a cell to carry out its function and can significantly increase the likelihood of tumor formation. One of the causes of damaged DNA and RNA is oxidation of the bases. 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OHdG) and 8-hydroxyguanosine are all markers of oxidative damage to RNA and DNA. 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine is produced by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, including hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite. 8-Hydroxyguanine is one of the major base lesions involved in mutagenesis and is caused by ionizing radiation and radiomimetic agents. 8-hydroxy-guanosine induces a transversion of G to T in DNA, which may be mutagenic. Markers of DNA and RNA damage are useful research tools when studying the effects of this type of damage.
