Excision 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 کاملExcision Repair of Aflatoxin B^DNA Adducts in Human Fibroblasts1
The processing of covalent aflatoxin B, (AFBi)-DNA adducts was investigated in confluent normal fibroblasts (NF) and xeroderma pigmentosum skin fibroblasts of Complementation Group A (XPA) following treatment with rat liver microsomeactivated AFB, for 30 min. Following rapid DMA isolation at slightly acidic pH by a new filter technique, more than 90% of the adducts corresponded to 2,3-dihydro-2...

متن کاملTrapping of DNA nucleotide excision repair factors by nonrepairable carcinogen adducts.
Nucleotide excision repair is part of a cellular defense system that protects genome integrity.Here, this versatile repair system was challenged with mixtures of DNA adducts that were generated to mimic the wide spectrum of bulky lesions produced by complex genotoxic insults. Probing human excision activity with substrate combinations instead of single lesions resulted in a strong bias for part...
متن کاملLack of recognition by global-genome nucleotide excision repair accounts for the high mutagenicity and persistence of aristolactam-DNA adducts
Exposure to aristolochic acid (AA), a component of Aristolochia plants used in herbal remedies, is associated with chronic kidney disease and urothelial carcinomas of the upper urinary tract. Following metabolic activation, AA reacts with dA and dG residues in DNA to form aristolactam (AL)-DNA adducts. These mutagenic lesions generate a unique TP53 mutation spectrum, dominated by A:T to T:A tra...
