Abstract excerpt
Selenomethionine (SeMet) has been identified as a chemopreventive antioxidant to activate p53-mediated nucleotide excision repair. In this study, we examined whether p53-mediated base excision repair (BER) might be induced by SeMet. When methyl methanesulfonate, a BER-inducing agent, was treated in the cells, DNA damage was rapidly decreased in the presence of SeMet. In addition, our data showed that the removal...
