Abstract

Background: A molecular biomarker of physiologic age, as opposed to chronologic age, is needed in clinical medicine. 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGsn) and 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoGsn) are two promising aging biomarkers. Methods: A total of 1,228 healthy Chinese residents (613 males and 615 females) 2-90 years of age were randomly selected. Spot urine samples were collected, and the concentrations of 8-oxodGsn and 8-oxoGsn were measured using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS). Method validation, including accuracy, precision, linearity and quantification limit, was performed. The relationship between oxidized guanosine and age/gender was evaluated. Results: 8-oxodGsn and 8-oxoGsn were eluted at 1.61 and 1.30 min, respectively. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.2-500 ng/ml for both analytes. The lowest limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 0.2 ng/ml for 8-oxodGsn and 0.1 ng/ml for 8-oxoGsn. There was an age-dependent increase in the biomarkers from the 21- to 30-year-old group to the 81- to 90-year-old group in both genders. In the subjects older than 61 years of age, the levels of 8-oxodGsn as well as 8-oxoGsn in urine were much higher in females than in males. The content of 8-oxoGsn correlated more closely with age and was higher (approximately 2-fold) than that of 8-oxodGsn for a given individual. Conclusions: 8-oxodGsn and 8-oxoGsn can be easily measured by UPLC-MS/MS. Urinary 8-oxoGsn may be a potential biomarker to determine a person's physiologic age and identify individuals at high risk of developing age-associated disease.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 925. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 April 2018.
All research outputs
#18,560
of 25,619,480 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
#8
of 5,544 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#388
of 344,234 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
#1
of 104 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,619,480 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,544 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,234 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 104 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
