Inflammation-Associated Microsatellite Alterations Caused by MSH3 Dysfunction Are Prevalent in Ulcerative Colitis and Increase With Neoplastic Advancement
26 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Inflammation-associated microsatellite alterations (also known as elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotide repeats [EMAST]) result from IL-6-induced nuclear-to-cytosolic displacement of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein MSH3, allowing frameshifts of dinucleotide or longer microsatellites within DNA. MSH3 also engages homologous recombination to repair double-strand breaks...
