Effects of Heavy Metal Co-Exposure on the formation of DNA Adducts from Aristolochic Acid I: Implications for Balkan Endemic Nephropathy Development
29 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Accumulated evidence has shown that Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a multifactorial environmental disease, with exposure to aristolochic acids (AA), and the associated DNA adduct formation, as a key causative factor of BEN development. Here, we show that coexposure to arsenic, cadmium, and iron increases the DNA adduct formation of AA in cultured kidney cells, while exhibiting both an exposure concentration...
