DNA base damage by reactive oxygen species, oxidizing agents, and UV radiation.
Emphasis has been placed in this article dedicated to DNA damage on recent aspects of the formation and measurement of oxidatively generated damage in cellular DNA in order to provide a comprehensive and updated survey. This includes single pyrimidine and purine base lesions, intrastrand cross-links, purine 5',8-cyclonucleosides, DNA-protein adducts and interstrand cross-links formed by the rea...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species and oxidative DNA damage.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as the superoxide anion radical (O2.-) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl radical (.OH) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of various states, including ischemia reperfusion injury, haemorrhagic shock, atherosclerosis, heart failure, acute hypertension and cancer. The free radicals, nitric oxide (NO) and O2.- react to form peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a p...
متن کاملMetformin reduces endogenous reactive oxygen species and associated DNA damage.
Pharmacoepidemiologic studies provide evidence that use of metformin, a drug commonly prescribed for type II diabetes, is associated with a substantial reduction in cancer risk. Experimental models show that metformin inhibits the growth of certain neoplasms by cell autonomous mechanisms such as activation of AMP kinase with secondary inhibition of protein synthesis or by an indirect mechanism ...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species and death: oxidative DNA damage in atherosclerosis.
Oxidative Modification of LDL Although LDL is essential to deliver cholesterol to tissues, increased LDL cholesterol is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Oxidative modification of LDL promotes recruitment and retention of monocytes3 with formation of fatty streaks, the earliest lesions in atherosclerosis.4 Both macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) bind ox...
متن کاملMobile Phone Radiation Induces Reactive Oxygen Species Production and DNA Damage in Human Spermatozoa In Vitro
BACKGROUND In recent times there has been some controversy over the impact of electromagnetic radiation on human health. The significance of mobile phone radiation on male reproduction is a key element of this debate since several studies have suggested a relationship between mobile phone use and semen quality. The potential mechanisms involved have not been established, however, human spermato...
