Investigation of NQO1 genetic polymorphism, NQO1 gene expression and PAH-DNA adducts in ESCC. A case-control study from Iran [PDF]
We evaluated the effect of NQO1 genetic variation on PAH-DNA adducts in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in northeast Iran. Golestan Province in northeast of Iran has one of the highest esophageal cancer incidences in the world.

DNA adduct is a piece of DNA covalently bond to a chemical (safrole, benzopyrenediol epoxide, acetaldehyde). This process could be the start of a cancerous cell. When a chemical binds to DNA, it gets damaged resulting in abnormal replication. This could be the start of a mutation and without proper DNA repair, this can lead to cancer.

Inflammation, DNA-centered radicals, and oxidative genotoxicity: The role of HOCl produced by myeloperoxidase in carcinogenesis [PDF]
Myeloid cells (macrophages and neutrophils) infiltrate and synthesize myeloperoxidase (MPO) in sites of inflammation, producing gentotoxicity. In RAW 264.7 macrophages, bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces superoxide radical anion, nuclear ...

Carcinogenic adducts induce distinct DNA polymerase binding orientations [PDF]
DNA polymerases must accurately replicate DNA to maintain genome integrity. Carcinogenic adducts, such as 2-aminofluorene (AF) and N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (AAF), covalently bind DNA bases and promote mutagenesis near the adduct site.
