Escherichia coli [formamidopyrimidine]DNA glycosylase catalyses the nicking of both the phosphodiester bonds 3' and 5' of apurinic or apyrimidinic sites in DNA so that the base-free deoxyribose is replaced by a gap limited by 3'-phosphate and 5'-phosphate ends. The two nickings are not the results of hydrolytic processes; the [formamidopyrimidine]DNA glycosylase rather catalyses a beta-elimination reaction that is immediately followed by a delta-elimination. The enzyme is without action on a 3'-terminal base-free deoxyribose or on a 3'-terminal base-free unsaturated sugar produced by a beta-elimination reaction nicking the DNA strand 3' to an apurinic or apyrimidinic site.

Formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Fpg) and flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) are essential to sustaining genomic stability and integrity, while the abnormal activities of Fpg and FEN1 may lead to various diseases and cancers. The development of simple methods for simultaneously monitoring Fpg and FEN1 is highly desirable. Herein, we construct a multiple cyclic ligation-promoted exponential recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) platform for sensitive and simultaneous monitoring of Fpg and FEN1 in cells and clinical tissues.

Article Synopsis
- Formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (FPG) is an important enzyme that repairs DNA by targeting damaged bases like 8-oxoG.
- A new integrated detection method was developed using magnetic beads, which includes an 8-oxoG probe for FPG recognition and a unique chimeric peptide-DNA mimetic enzyme (CPDzyme) for amplifying signal strength.
- This method allows for precise detection of FPG activity in a range of 0.2-20 U/mL, with a low detection limit, and has been successfully tested on human serum and bacterial samples, offering a powerful alternative to existing commercial assays.

The integrity of the genome is under constant threat from both endogenous and exogenous factors that induce oxidative stress and accelerate ageing. The demand for natural and organic cosmetics is rising due to the harmful effects of synthetic genotoxic agents on human health and the environment. Elderberry ( L.

DNA damage caused by oxidative reactions plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). In a previous cross-sectional study, CRC patients diagnosed with regional disease (stage III) exhibited a higher level of DNA base oxidation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) 2-9 months post-surgery compared to those with localized disease (stage I-II). To further explore this observation over time, the present study aimed to investigate DNA base oxidation in CRC patients with localized versus regional disease 6 and 12 months after the initial measurements.

Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that molecular hydrogen (H) has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. Safety data are available in the literature and acute toxicity has been tested in isolated cells and laboratory animals. We have evaluates the genotoxicity of H in vivo in rats after 72 h exposure, following the International Council for Harmonization guidelines ICH S2 (R1).
