Background: MTUYH and OGG1 genes have importance in the base excision repair systems of oxidized DNA bases. Modification of the tissue expression of these genes is related to the increased risk of developing colorectal cancer.
Aim: To evaluate the tissue expression of MUTYH and OGG1 comparing normal and neoplastic tissues of patients with sporadic colorectal cancer and to correlate it with clinical and histopathological variables.
Method: MUTYH and OGG1 tissue expression was quantified by RT-PCR in patients with colorectal cancer and the values were compared in normal and neoplastic tissues. MUTYH and OGG1 expression was measured and normalized to the constitutive 18S gene. The level of expression of both genes was correlated with the variables: age, gender, tumor location, size of the tumor, histological type, degree of cell differentiation, invasion depth in the intestinal wall, angiolymphatic infiltration, lymph node involvement and TNM staging.
Results: Was found downregulation of both genes in neoplastic when compared to normal tissue. There was downregulation of the MUTYH in larger tumors and in patients with angiolymphatic invasion. Tumors with more advanced TNM stages (III and IV) presented downregulation of both genes when compared to those with earlier stages (I and II).
Conclusion: The MUTYH and OGG1 genes present downregulation in the more advanced stages of colorectal cancer.

8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is a common oxidative DNA lesion that causes G > T substitutions. Determinants of local and regional differences in 8-oxoG-induced mutability across genomes are currently unknown. Here, we show DNA oxidation induces G > T substitutions and insertion/deletion (INDEL) mutations in human cells and cancers.

8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) is one of the most abundant oxidative lesions in the genome and is associated with genome instability. Its mutagenic potential is counteracted by a concerted action of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) and mutY homolog DNA glycosylase (MUTYH). It has been suggested that OG and its repair has epigenetic-like properties and mediates transcription, but genome-wide evidence of this interdependence is lacking.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored the connection between DNA repair gene polymorphisms, specifically in base excision repair (BER) genes, and the risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
- A significant association was found between the APEX1-656 T>G polymorphism and AML risk, with elevated expression of APEX1 observed in AML patients compared to healthy controls.
- The study concluded that APEX1 polymorphisms may be a risk factor for AML and emphasized APEX1's role in controlling AML cell differentiation and growth.

We investigated the interplay among oxidative DNA damage and repair, expression of genes encoding major base excision repair (BER) enzymes and bypass DNA polymerases, and mutagenesis in mammalian cells. Primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts were challenged with oxidative stress induced by methylene blue plus visible light, and formation and repair of DNA damage, changes in gene expression, and mutagenesis were determined at increasing intervals posttreatment (0-192 hours). Significant formation of oxidative DNA damage together with upregulation of Ogg1, Polβ, and Polκ, and no changes in Mutyh and Nudt1 expression were found in treated cells.

The present investigation dealt with harmful effects of hexavalent chromium (Cr [VI]) on liver of Swiss albino mice. This variant exhibited cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. Our study focused on elucidating the hepatotoxic effects of chronic low-dose exposure to Cr (VI) (2, 5, and 10 ppm) administered via drinking water for 4 and 8 months.
