Journal ArticleDOI

Tobacco smoke carcinogens, DNA damage and p53 mutations in smoking-associated cancers

TL;DR: The available data suggest that p53 mutations in lung cancers can be attributed to direct DNA damage from cigarette smoke carcinogens rather than to selection of pre-existing endogenous mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

APOBEC3B is an enzymatic source of mutation in breast cancer

TL;DR: A model in which APOBEC3B-catalysed deamination provides a chronic source of DNA damage in breast cancers that could select TP53 inactivation is suggested to explain how some tumours evolve rapidly and manifest heterogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA–Protein Cross-Links: Formation, Structural Identities, and Biological Outcomes

TL;DR: The chemistry of DPC formation in cells is outlined, recent efforts to identify the cross-linked proteins by mass spectrometry are described, and various methodologies for preparing DNA strands containing structurally defined, site specific DPC lesions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass Spectrometry of Structurally Modified DNA

TL;DR: Due to their central role in chemical carcinogenesis, DNA adducts are considered the true mechanism-based biomarkers of carcinogen exposure and can be correlated to the formation of reactive intermediates available for binding to DNA and other biomolecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular dosimetry of N-7 guanine adduct formation in mice and rats exposed to 1,3-butadiene.

TL;DR: The molecular dosimetry of N-7 guanine adduct formation by these metabolites of BD in liver, lung, and kidney of B6C3F1 mice and F344 rats exposed to 0, 20, 62.5, or 625 ppm BD was studied, and it was concluded that most of the THB-Gua is formed from EBD.
