Background And Objective: 8-hydroxygumine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) is a DNA repair enzyme, which can repair damaged DNA by excising 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-OH-G). Polymorphisms in human OGG1 gene (hOGG1) may alter glycosylase activity, thereby affects its repair to the damaged DNA, resulting in contribution to carcinogenesis. However, an association of genetic variants of hOGG1 promoter with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. The present study aims to explore whether there are mutations in the promoter region of hOGG1 and the association of the potential genetic variants with NSCLC.
Methods: Forty lung cancer patients were enrolled from January, 2003 to December, 2005 in the first affiliated hospital of Soochow University. PCR-SSCP followed by direct sequencing were performed to detect mutations within the promoter region of the hOGG1 gene in NSCLC and corresponding paracancerous lung tissues.
Results: No abnormal mutation was found in the promoter region of the hOGG1 gene in 40 patients with NSCLC. However, a SNP rs159153 in hOGG1 was significantly associated with higher TNM stage (P=0.008). Moreover, lower frequency of lymph node metastasis was observed in smoker patients with NSCLC (P=0.034).
Conclusions: The SNP rs159153 in the promoter region of the hOGG1 gene and smoking history may effectively forebode the aggressiveness and metastatic potential of NSCLC.

Background: Systemic chemotherapy constitutes an indispensable component of breast cancer (BC) management, where therapeutic drug combinations such as anthracyclines, platinum compounds, and taxanes form the cornerstone of standard treatment protocols. Although DNA repair genes are pivotal in cancer susceptibility, their specific roles in mediating acute or chronic toxicity outcomes induced by chemotherapy remain undetermined. Consequently, this study was planned to elucidate the impact of polymorphisms in base excision repair (BER) genes, including XRCC1, XRCC2, XRCC3, APE1, and hOGG1, on treatment response and toxicity outcomes in BC patients undergoing paclitaxel and doxorubicin-based chemotherapy within an Indian population.

Base excision repair (BER) is initialized by DNA glycosylases, which recognize and flip damaged bases out of the DNA duplex into the enzymes active site, followed by cleavage of the glycosidic bond. Recent studies have revealed that all types of DNA glycosylases repair base lesions less efficiently within nucleosomes, and their repair activity is highly depended on the lesion's location within the nucleosome. To reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of this phenomenon, we determine the 3.

Purpose: To investigate the role of moderate doses of ionizing radiation-induced cellular senescence in mouse lung tissue and whole-body inflammation levels.
Material And Methods: Forty-two C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the control group, the 1, 3, and 7 days after 2 Gy irradiation group, and the 1, 3, and 7 days after 4 Gy irradiation group, with six mice in each group. The histopathology, cellular senescence, oxidative-antioxidant, DNA damage repair, and inflammation-related indicators of irradiated mice were examined.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) is a crucial treatment for head and neck cancer however, it causes adverse reactions to the normal tissue and organs adjacent to target tumor. The present study was carried out to investigate possible association of single nucleotide polymorphism in DNA repair genes with toxicity effects of radiotherapy on normal tissue.
Methods: Three hundred and fifty head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy treatment were enrolled in this study.
