Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adducts in prostate cancer.
The formation of DNA adducts can lead to DNA replication errors and the potential for carcinogenesis. DNA adducts have been detected in prostate cells, but the distribution of adducts with respect to prostate cancer risk factors and histology is unknown. In a study of 130 Caucasian (n = 61) and African-American (n = 69) men with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy, we quantified...
متن کاملPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Exposure and DNA Adduct Semi-Quantitation in Archived Human Tissues
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are combustion products of organic materials, mixtures of which contain multiple known and probable human carcinogens. PAHs occur in indoor and outdoor air, as well as in char-broiled meats and fish. Human exposure to PAHs occurs by inhalation, ingestion and topical absorption, and subsequently formed metabolites are either rendered hydrophilic and excret...
متن کاملInhibition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adduct formation in epidermis and lungs of SENCAR mice by naturally occurring plant phenols.
Naturally occurring plant phenols such as tannic acid, quercetin, myricetin, and anthraflavic acid are known to inhibit the mutagenicity of several bay-region diol-epoxides of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The binding of bay-region diol-epoxides of PAHs to target tissue DNA is thought to be essential for the initiation of cancer by these compounds. In this study we investigated the e...

متن کاملRelationships between DNA adduct formation and carcinogenesis.
An impressive array of evidence has been obtained during the past decade establishing correlations between specific DNA adducts and carcinogenesis. Many of the studies utilized organ specific differences in carcinogenesis to establish the correlations. More recently, we have investigated similar relationships between target and nontarget cell populations within the liver. Chronic exposure to me...
