Nfkb1 suppresses DNA alkylation-induced tumor formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
NF-κB proteins play a complex role in modulating carcinogenesis following DNA damage. Previous work identified p50/NF-κB1 as a necessary factor in the cytotoxic response to alkylation damage. Recently, these findings were extended to demonstrate that in the setting of alkylation damage, this NF-κB subunit acts as a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor that prevents hematologic malignancy formation.

Dietary phytate lowers K-ras mutational frequency, decreases DNA-adduct and hydroxyl radical formation in azoxymethane-induced colon cancer
Objective(s): Dietary phytate is known to protect against azoxymethane (AOM)-induced preneoplastic lesions. The present study was designed to determine whether dietary phytate affects mutation frequency in colon epithelial cells challenged with azoxymethane in vivo, through lowering the formation of O6-methyl guanosine (O6-MeG) and 8-hydroxy deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) ad...
متن کاملDNA interstrand cross-link and free radical formation in a human multidrug-resistant cell line from mitomycin C and its analogues.
A subline of the human breast tumor cell line (MCF-7), selected for resistance to Adriamycin and having the multidrug resistance phenotype, also developed significant cross-resistance to mitomycin C and its two analogues, BMY 25282 and BMY 25067. Because mitomycin C and the analogues contain both quinone and aziridine moieties, the mechanism of tumor cell kill is thought to involve alkylation a...
متن کاملEffect of Phénobarbitaland Other Liver Monooxygenase Modifiers on Dimethylnitrosamine-induced Alkylation of Rat Liver Macromolecules1
The effects of phénobarbital(PB) and other liver monooxygenase modifiers on dimethylnitrosamine (DMN)-induced alkylation of rat liver DNA and protein were investigated at different carcin ogen doses. In rats given single injections of radioactively labeled DMN, pretreatment with PB (80 mg/kg body weight, adminis tered for 5 days) resulted in a small but significant decrease in the formation of...
متن کاملBoth base excision repair and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase protect against methylation-induced colon carcinogenesis
Methylating agents are widely distributed environmental carcinogens. Moreover, they are being used in cancer chemotherapy. The primary target of methylating agents is DNA, and therefore, DNA repair is the first-line barrier in defense against their toxic and carcinogenic effects. Methylating agents induce in the DNA O(6)-methylguanine (O(6)MeG) and methylations of the ring nitrogens of purines....
متن کاملNfkb1/p50 and mammalian aging
Aging is a progressive process that involves a combination of genetic and acquired factors that ultimately cause loss of tissue homeostasis and death. Among the pathways that modulate aging, NF-кB has been shown to play a central role [1]. Interestingly, the majority of studies examining NF-кB and aging suggest that this transcription factor promotes aging. However, as was shown with the role o...
