Abstract excerpt
7,8-Dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxo-Gua) and its nucleoside in cytosol are derived from the repair of oxidative DNA and the cleanup of oxidatively damaged DNA precursors, respectively. While the harmful effects of 8-oxo-Gua present in DNA have been studied extensively, few have reported its effects on cytosolic function. Our previous study showed that the addition of 8-oxo-dG to culture media caused an accumulation...
