Abstract excerpt
Mice lacking the xeroderma pigmentosum group A gene (XPA-/- mice), which have a complete deficiency in nucleotide excision repair (NER), are highly predisposed to tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) when exposed to 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO). To explore the effects of the interaction of the NER machinery with p53 in oral tumorigenesis, we generated an XPA-/- mouse strain carrying mutant alleles for p53....
