The Role of 8-Oxoguanine DNA Glycosylase-1 in Inflammation [PDF]
Many, if not all, environmental pollutants/chemicals and infectious agents increase intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the site of exposure.

Long-term pulmonary complications in sulfur mustard-exposed patients: gene expression and DNA methylation of OGG1 [PDF]
Introduction: It is well established that tissues exposed to sulfur mustard (SM) generate high levels of reactive oxygen species. This leads to oxidative stress and, ultimately, damage to DNA molecules over the course of time.

A polymorphism in the base excision repair gene PARP2 is associated with differential prognosis by chemotherapy among postmenopausal breast cancer patients. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Personalized therapy considering clinical and genetic patient characteristics will further improve breast cancer survival. Two widely used treatments, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, can induce oxidative DNA damage and, if not repaired, cell ...

8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1) controls hepatic gluconeogenesis [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) resides in close proximity to metabolic reactions, and is maintained by the 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1) and other members of the base excision repair pathway. Here, we tested the hypothesis that changes in liver metabolism as under fasting/feeding conditions would be sensed by liver mtDNA, and that Ogg1 deficient mice ...

Conditional Targeting of the DNA Repair Enzyme hOGG1 into Mitochondria [PDF]
Oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been suggested to be a key factor in the etiologies of many diseases and in the normal process of aging.

Enhanced Susceptibility of Ogg1 Mutant Mice to Multiorgan Carcinogenesis [PDF]
The role of deficiency of oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (Ogg1) Mmh homolog, a repair enzyme of the 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) residue in DNA, was investigated using the multiorgan carcinogenesis bioassay in mice. A total of 80 male and female six-week-old mice of C57BL/6J background carrying a mutant Mmh allele of the Mmh/Ogg1 gene (Ogg1−/−) and ...

Carcinogenicity of dimethylarsinic acid in Ogg1‐deficient mice [PDF]
Oxidative stress to DNA is recognized as a mechanism underlying carcinogenic effects of some environmental agents. Here, we hypothesized that dimethylarsinic acid (DMAV), an organic metabolite of inorganic arsenic in humans, might exert carcinogenic potential in a mouse line carrying a mutant Mmh allele of the Mmh/OGG1 gene encoding the enzyme 8 ...

Distinct spatiotemporal patterns and PARP dependence of XRCC1 recruitment to single-strand break and base excision repair [PDF]
Single-strand break repair (SSBR) and base excision repair (BER) of modified bases and abasic sites share several players. Among them is XRCC1, an essential scaffold protein with no enzymatic activity, required for the coordination of both pathways ...
