Abstract excerpt
The pro-mutagenicity of chemically-induced methylation of DNA at the O6 position of deoxyguanosine was studied in cultured adult rat liver epithelial cells. To modify the level of O6-methyldeoxyguanosine (O6-medGuo) resulting from exposure to an alkylating agent, partial depletion of the O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) repair system was produced by pretreatment of ARL 18 cells with a non-toxic dose of...
