Measurement of unscheduled DNA synthesis on alkylating carcinogens in rat intestinal mucosal cells from different sites. 1984

H Mori, and F Ohbayashi, and S Sugie, and T Tanaka, and M Takahashi, and N Mori

Unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) induced by in vitro exposure to five alkylating carcinogens was measured in the mucosal cells from three different sites of the rat intestine. The yield of UDS by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine or N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine or methylazoxymethanol acetate was higher in the cells of colon & rectum than in those of the jejunum or ileum. Conversely, UDS induction by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea or methyl-methanesulphonate was seen at a rather higher level in the cells from the small intestine compared with those from the colon & rectum.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004260 DNA Repair The removal of DNA LESIONS and/or restoration of intact DNA strands without BASE PAIR MISMATCHES, intrastrand or interstrand crosslinks, or discontinuities in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbones. DNA Damage Response
D000477 Alkylating Agents Highly reactive chemicals that introduce alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevent their proper functioning. Many are used as antineoplastic agents, but most are very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. They have also been used as components in poison gases.
