Aflatoxin B1 formamidopyrimidine adducts are preferentially repaired by the nucleotide excision repair pathway in vivo.
Aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)), the most potent member of the aflatoxin family of hepatocarcinogens, upon metabolic activation reacts with DNA and forms a population of covalent adducts. The most prevalent adduct, 8,9-dihydro-8-(N(7)-guanyl-)-9-hydroxyaflatoxin (AFB(1)-N(7)-dG), as well as the AFB(1) formamidopyrimidine adduct (AFB(1)-FAPY), resulting from imidazole ring opening of the major adduct, a...
متن کاملHighly Mutagenic Exocyclic DNA Adducts Are Substrates for the Human Nucleotide Incision Repair Pathway
BACKGROUND Oxygen free radicals induce lipid peroxidation (LPO) that damages and breaks polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes. LPO-derived aldehydes and hydroxyalkenals react with DNA leading to the formation of etheno(ε)-bases including 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (εA) and 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine (εC). The εA and εC residues are highly mutagenic in mammalian cells and eliminated in the base exc...
متن کاملThe p-benzoquinone DNA adducts derived from benzene are highly mutagenic.
Benzene is a human leukemia carcinogen, resulting from its cellular metabolism. A major benzene metabolite is p-benzoquinone (pBQ), which can damage DNA by forming the exocyclic base adducts pBQ-dC, pBQ-dA, and pBQ-dG in vitro. To gain insights into the role of pBQ in benzene genotoxicity, we examined in vitro translesion synthesis and in vivo mutagenesis of these pBQ adducts. Purified REV1 and...
متن کاملExcision of tamoxifen-DNA adducts by the human nucleotide excision repair system.
The antiestrogen tamoxifen is used in the treatment of breast cancer and has recently been recommended as a chemopreventive drug for women at high risk for breast cancer. However, women treated with the drug have an increased incidence of endometrial cancer. It has been suggested that this endometrial cancer might result from mutagenic DNA adducts, which are formed by electrophilic tamoxifen sp...
متن کاملPsoralen-induced DNA adducts are substrates for the base excision repair pathway in human cells
Interstrand cross-link (ICL) is a covalent modification of both strands of DNA, which prevents DNA strand separation during transcription and replication. Upon photoactivation 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP+UVA) alkylates both strands of DNA duplex at the 5,6-double bond of thymidines, generating monoadducts (MAs) and ICLs. It was thought that bulky DNA lesions such as MAs are eliminated only in the ...
