Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolism and metabolites of polychlorinated biphenyls

TL;DR: An overview of PCB metabolism is provided, and mammalian metabolism of PCBs and their hydroxyl, methylsulfonyl, and sulfated metabolites, especially those that persist in human blood are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of DNA Strand Breaks in Vitro and Reactive Oxygen Species in Vitro and in HL-60 Cells by PCB Metabolites

TL;DR: It is concluded that dihydroxylated PCBs, and PCB quinones after reaction with GSH, produce superoxide and other ROS both in vitro and in HL-60 cells, and oxidative DNA damage in the form of DNA strand breaks in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the promoter reveal a cause for the reduced expression of the human manganese superoxide dismutase gene in cancer cells

TL;DR: The results suggest that the reduced level of MnSOD expression in some tumor cells is, at least in part, due to a defect in the DNA sequence of the promoter region.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mutation found in the promoter region of the human survivin gene is correlated to overexpression of survivin in cancer cells.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the high level of survivin in some cancers is, at least in part, due to a genetic defect in the promoter region of the human survivin gene, which causes derepression of Survivin transcription apparently due to the mutated CDE/CHR repressor binding motifs.
