Abstract excerpt
Oxidized DNA base lesions, such as thymine glycol (Tg) and 8-hydroxyguanine, are often toxic and mutagenic and have been implicated in carcinogenesis. To clarify whether NEIL1 protein, which exhibits excision repair activity towards such base lesions, is involved in gastric carcinogenesis, we examined 71 primary gastric cancers from Japanese patients and four gastric cancer cell lines for mutations and genetic...
