Abstract excerpt
A base excision repair enzyme, NTH1, has activity that is capable of removing oxidized pyrimidines, such as thymine glycol (Tg), from DNA. To clarify whether the NTH1 gene is involved in gastric carcinogenesis, we first examined the NTH1 expression level in eight gastric cancer cell lines, and the results showed that NTH1 expression was downregulated in all of them, including cell line AGS. Next, a comparison of...
