Abstract excerpt
DNA damage plays a crucial role in the transforming potential of the human carcinogen arsenic. The arsenic biotransformation enzyme AS3MT is known to participate in the generation of ROS after arsenic exposure, whereas MTH1 sanitizes oxidized dNTP pools to prevent the incorporation of damaged bases into DNA. In this work, we sought to assess the role of these two enzymes in the genotoxic and carcinogenic effects...
