Dysregulated Expression and Sub cellular Localization of Base Excision Repair (BER) Pathway Enzymes in Gallbladder Cancer
Base excision repair (BER) pathway is one of the repair systems that have an impact on the radiotherapy and chemotherapy for the cancer patients. The molecular pathogenesis of gallbladder cancer is not known extensively. In the present study we investigated whether the expression of AP endonuclease 1 (APE1) and DNA polymerase β (DNA pol β), key enzymes of BER pathway has any clinical ...
متن کاملFolate deficiency provides protection against colon carcinogenesis in DNA polymerase beta haploinsufficient mice.
Aging and DNA polymerase beta deficiency (beta-pol(+/-)) interact to accelerate the development of malignant lymphomas and adenocarcinoma and increase tumor bearing load in mice. Folate deficiency (FD) has been shown to induce DNA damage repaired via the base excision repair (BER) pathway. We anticipated that FD and BER deficiency would interact to accelerate aberrant crypt foci (ACF) formation...
متن کاملStudies on electron beam induced DNA damage and repair kinetics in lymphocytes by alkaline comet assay
Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress followed by damage to critical biomolecules like lipids, proteins and DNA through radiolysis of cellular water. Since radiation has been widely used as an important tool in therapy of cancer, the detailed investigation regarding the DNA damage and repair kinetics would help to predict the radiation sensitivity of cel...
متن کاملRadiosensitivity and Repair Kinetics of Gamma-Irradiated Leukocytes from Sporadic Prostate Cancer Patients and Healthy Individuals Assessed by Alkaline Comet Assay
Background: Impaired DNA repair mechanism is one of the main causes of tumor genesis. Study of intrinsic radiosensitivity of cancer patients in a non-target tissue (e.g. peripheral blood) might show the extent of DNA repair deficiency of cells in affected individuals and might be used a predictor of cancer predisposition. Methods: Initial radiation-induced DNA damage (ratio of Tail DNA/Head DN...
متن کاملFolate deficiency and ionizing radiation cause DNA breaks in primary human lymphocytes: a comparison.
DNA double-strand breaks, the most serious DNA lesion caused by ionizing radiation, are also caused by several vitamin or mineral deficiencies, such as for folate. Primary human lymphocytes were either irradiated or cultured at different levels of folate deficiency to assess cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, DNA breaks, and changes in gene expression. Both radiation and folate deficien...
