DNA repair capacity of eukaryotic cells has been studied extensively in recent years. Mammalian cells have been engineered to overexpress recombinant nuclear DNA repair proteins from ectopic genes to assess the impact of increased DNA repair capacity on genome stability. This approach has been used in this study to specifically target O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) to the mitoc...
DNA repair capacity of eukaryotic cells has been studied extensively in recent years. Mammalian cells have been engineered to overexpress recombinant nuclear DNA repair proteins from ectopic genes to assess the impact of increased DNA repair capacity on genome stability. This approach has been used in this study to specifically target O-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) to the mitochon...
O(6)-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA repair enzyme that protects cells from carcinogenic effects of alkylating agents; however, MGMT is silenced by promoter hypermethylation during carcinogenesis. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in an enhancer in the MGMT promoter was previously identified to be highly significantly associated with risk for MGMT methylation in lung ca...
BACKGROUND O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA repair protein and protects DNA from the biological effects of alkylating carcinogens. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the mRNA expression level of the Mgmt gene and mutation of the beta-catenin gene in rat colon tumors induced by azoxymethane (AOM) plus dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). MATERIA...
The human DNA repair enzyme, methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT, M(r) 21,000), which protects cells against the mutagenic effect of alkylating carcinogens, was found to be localized in the cell nucleus (except the nucleolus) by immunofluorescence staining using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. The supporting experiments came from differential staining of the MGMT-deficient (mer-) an...
High-level expression of the DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) correlates with cellular resistance to the chloroethylnitrosourea (CENU) class of alkylating agents. Consequently, tumors expressing low levels of MGMT are sensitive to CENU chemotherapy, and any mechanism that can be used to reduce MGMT levels could sensitize resistant tumors. We have demonstrated tha...
We previously generated transgenic C3H/HeN mice by introducing the Escherichia coli O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT, DNA-O6-methylguanine:protein-L-cysteine S-methyltransferase, EC2.1.1.63) gene, ada, attached to the Chinese hamster metallothionein I gene promoter. One transgenic mouse line expressing both ada-specific mRNA and Ada protein could be propagated over many generations ...
To enhance the potency of current EGFR inhibitors, we developed a novel strategy that seeks to confer them an additional DNA damaging function, leading to the design of drugs termed combi-molecules. ZRS1 is a novel combi-molecule that contains an EGFR tyrosine kinase targeting quinazoline arm and a methyltriazenebased DNA damaging one. We examined its effect on human tumor cell lines with varie...
A synthetic oligonucleotide containing ribozyme sequences targeted to the 5' region of the human O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) mRNA has been constructed. This ribozyme demonstrates cleavage activity in vitro in the presence of Mg2+. To determine whether this ribozyme can function in vivo, HeLa CCL2 cells were transfected with a mammalian expression vector containing the ribozyme...
The significance of low-level DNA microsatellite instability (MSI-L) is not well understood. K-ras mutation is associated with MSI-L colorectal cancer and with the silencing of the DNA repair gene O–6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) by methylation of its promoter region. MGMT methylation was studied in sporadic colorectal cancers stratified as DNA microsatellite instability-high (n 5...
