Abstract excerpt
The alkylating agent N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) is a widely spread environmental carcinogen that causes DNA lesions leading to cell killing. MNNG can also induce a cell-protective response by inducing the expression of DNA repair/transcription-related genes. We recently demonstrated that urokinase-type plasminogen activator, an extracellular protease to which no DNA repair functions have been...
