O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase and ATP-Binding Cassette Membrane Transporter G2 Promotor Methylation: Can Predict the Response to Chemotherapy in Advanced Breast Cancer?
Background: ATP-binding cassette membrane transporter G2 (ABCG2) gene is one of transporter family and well characterized for their association with chemoresistance. Promoter methylation is a mechanism for regulation of gene expression. O6-Methyl guanine DNA methyl transferase (MGMT) gene plays a fundamental role in DNA repair. MGMT has the ability to remove alkyl adducts from DNA at the O6 pos...
متن کاملFluorophores for live cell imaging of AGT fusion proteins across the visible spectrum.
O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) fusion proteins can be specifically and covalently labeled with fluorescent O6-benzylguanine (O6-BG) derivatives for multicolor live cell imaging approaches. Here, we characterize several new BG fluorophores suitable for in vivo AGT labeling that display fluorescence emission maxima covering the visible spectrum from 472 to 673 nm, thereby extending th...

Abstract Background: Sporadic colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in Iran. The DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is involved in the cellular defense against alkylating agents. Genetic alterations in the MGMT gene may impair the protein’s ability to remove alkyl groups from the O6-position of guanine, thereby raising the mutation rate and increasi...
متن کاملPossible depletion of a DNA repair enzyme in human lymphoma cells by subversive repair.
Mex+ human lymphoma cell lines contain O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, a DNA repair enzyme that undergoes suicide inactivation on interaction with its substrate. The cells are therefore competent to remove the alkylation lesion O6-methylguanine from their DNA. However, several repair-deficient lymphoma cell lines (Mex-) are also known. It is shown here that Mex+ cells can be converted t...
متن کاملReduced O6-methylguanine repair in fibroblast cultures from patients with lung cancer.
The activity of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase was determined in fibroblast cultures from 45 patients with lung cancer, 39 patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma, and 29 healthy controls. This enzyme is a critical parameter for the capacity to repair O6-methylguanine (O6-mGua) adducts in DNA, and a decreased activity might therefore be responsible for an enhanced susceptibility to c...
