Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and numerous carcinogens may cause DNA damage including oxidative base lesions that contribute to the risk of lung cancer. The base excision repair (BER) pathway could effectively remove oxidative lesions in which 8-oxoguanine glycosylase-1 (OGG1), x-ray repair cross-complementing 1 (XRCC1), and apurinic/apyimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) play key roles. The aim...
