Oxidative Stress Accelerates Repeat Instability and Base Substitutions, Promoting Gastrointestinal Driver Mutations under MSH2 Deficiency
2025-08-25
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> Loss of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) increases mutagenesis and tumorigenesis. mutS homolog 2 (MSH2), a central component of the MMR pathway, is essential for correcting base-base mismatches and insertion/deletion loops during DNA replication. To investigate how <italic>Msh2</italic> deficiency cooperates with oxidative stress to drive mutagenesis and tumorigen...
