TP53 mutations in workers exposed to occupational carcinogens.
In some cases, evidence exists that exogenous carcinogenic exposures contribute to the mutation spectrum of the TP53 gene (p53) in human cancers. Although the clearest examples come from dietary and environmental sources, only a restricted number of papers have concentrated specifically on TP53 mutations in tumors from workers exposed to occupational carcinogens. In populations exposed to dieta...
متن کاملIarc Monograhs Programe on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humansi Preamble 1. Background
ln 1969, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) initiated a programme to evaluate the carcinogenic risk of chemicals to humans and to produce monographs on individual chemicals. The Monographs programme has since been expanded to include consideration of exposures to complex mixtures of chemicals (which occur, for example, in sorne occupations and as a result of human habits) an...
متن کاملp53 mutations in benzo(a)pyrene-exposed human p53 knock-in murine fibroblasts correlate with p53 mutations in human lung tumors.
Human p53 mutation spectra differ significantly from one cancer type to another. One possible reason is that carcinogenic risk factors differ, and these factors elicit distinct mutation patterns. There has been no mammalian assay, however, with which to generate mutation patterns in human p53 sequences experimentally, hampering interpretation of the human tumor spectra. We have designed a new m...
متن کاملNatural and Synthetic Chemicals in the Diet: A Critical Analysis of Possible Cancer Hazards
Current regulatory policy to reduce human cancer risks is based on the idea that chemicals which induce tumors in rodent cancer bioassays are potential human carcinogens. The chemicals selected for testing in rodents, however, are primarily synthetic. The enormous background of human exposures to natural chemicals has not been systematically examined. This has led to an imbalance in both data a...
