Abstract

Asthma is associated with oxidative stress and oxidative damage of biomolecules, including DNA. Here, we describe the protocols to quantify reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress markers in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation. We also provide detailed methods to measure DNA damage by long-run real-time PCR for DNA-damage quantification (LORD-Q) assay and gene-specific DNA damage analyses by long amplicon (LA)-qPCR. Additionally, we describe methods to quantify oxidized DNA base lesions in lung genomic DNA by mass spectrometry, and to measure enzymatic activity of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1). Using these methods, the levels of oxidative stress and DNA damage in allergic inflammation and asthma can be elucidated.
