Abstract excerpt
O6-Methylguanine ( O6-MeG) is a damaged base produced by methylating reagents. The Werner syndrome protein (WRN) is a cancer-related human DNA helicase. The effects of WRN reduction on O6-MeG-caused mutagenesis were assessed by an siRNA-mediated knockdown in human U2OS cells, using a shuttle plasmid with a single O6-MeG base in the supF gene. The plasmid DNA was replicated in the cells, isolated, and...
