The adaptive imbalance in base excision–repair enzymes generates microsatellite instability in chronic inflammation
15 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Chronic infection and associated inflammation are key contributors to human carcinogenesis. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an oxyradical overload disease and is characterized by free radical stress and colon cancer proneness. Here we examined tissues from noncancerous colons of ulcerative colitis patients to determine (a) the activity of two base excision-repair enzymes, AAG, the major 3-methyladenine DNA...
