Abstract excerpt
We have made xeroderma pigmentosum group A gene (XPA)-knockout mice (XPA(-/-) mice). The XPA(-/-) mice had no detectable activity for nucleotide excision repair (NER) and showed a high incidence of UVB-induced skin tumorigenesis. We have also found that cell lines derived from skin cancers in UVB-irradiated XPA(-/-) mice become tolerant to UV-irradiation and showed abnormal UV-induced cell cycle checkpoints and...
