Abstract excerpt
Human DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is involved in the response to certain chemotherapy drugs, including 6-thioguanine (6-TG). Consistently, MMR-deficient human tumor cells show resistance to 6-TG damage as manifested by a reduced G(2)-M arrest and decreased apoptosis. In this study, we investigate the role of the BRCA1 protein in modulating a 6-TG-induced MMR damage response, using an isogenic human breast cancer...
