Deletion and single nucleotide substitution at G:C in the kidney of gpt delta transgenic mice after ferric nitrilotriacetate treatment.

Abstract excerpt

An iron chelate, ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA), induces oxidative renal proximal tubular damage that subsequently leads to a high incidence of renal cell carcinoma in rodents, presenting an intriguing model of free radical-induced carcinogenesis. In the present study, we used gpt delta transgenic mice, which allow efficient detection of point mutations and deletions in vivo, to evaluate the mutation spectra,...
