Carcinogen-DNA adducts in human breast tissue.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American women. Known risk factors account for only approximately one-third of the 182,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the United States. There is both concern and debate over the contribution of environmental exposures related to lifestyle, occupation, and ambient pollution, particularly in high risk areas such as Long Island...
متن کاملCarcinogen-modified DNA and specific humoral immunity toward carcinogen-DNA adducts. A review.
Carcinogenesis is a complex and multistep process starting from initiation to tumor progression. Damage to DNA, induced by the covalent binding of chemical carcinogens on critical DNA segments, reflects exposure and is directly related to tumor formation. For this reason it's very important detect and quantify DNA-adducts by using highly sensitive methods. During the last 30 years sophisticated...
متن کاملFormation and Repair of Tobacco Carcinogen-Derived Bulky DNA Adducts
DNA adducts play a central role in chemical carcinogenesis. The analysis of formation and repair of smoking-related DNA adducts remains particularly challenging as both smokers and nonsmokers exposed to smoke are repetitively under attack from complex mixtures of carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and N-nitrosamines. The bulky DNA adducts, which usually have complex structure,...
متن کاملChemoprevention of carcinogen-DNA adducts and chronic degenerative diseases.
Molecular dosimetry techniques were exploited in order to assess the efficacy of experimental chemoprevention assays and to evaluate the involvement of DNA alterations, not only in cancer but also in other chronic degenerative diseases. In agreement with other protective effects previously observed in the same animal models, the thiol N-acetylcysteine (NAC) totally prevented or significantly re...
متن کاملChemoprevention of Carcinogen-DNA Adducts and Chronic Degenerative Diseases1
Molecular dosimetry techniques were exploited in order to assess the efficacy of experimental chemoprevention assays and to evaluate the involvement of DNA alterations, not only in cancer but also in other chronic degenerative diseases. In agreement with other protective effects previously observed in the same animal models, the thiol /V-acetylcysteine (NAC) totally prevented or significantly r...
