The role of iNOS‐mediated DNA damage in infection‐ and asbestos‐induced carcinogenesis
1 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Chronic inflammation contributes to a substantial part of environmental carcinogenesis. Various infectious diseases and physical, chemical, and immunological factors participate in inflammation-related carcinogenesis. Under inflammatory conditions, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are generated from inflammatory and epithelial cells, and resulting DNA damage may participate in carcinogenesis. 8-Nitroguanine...
