1 The DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase protects against skin tumor formation induced by antineoplastic chloroethylnitrosourea. 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase Mus musculus
2 Because secondary tumor formation is a serious threat in chemotherapy with these drugs, we explored whether and to what extent the DNA repair protein DNA-O6-methylguanine:protein-L-cysteine S-methyltransferase (MGMT) protects against CNU-induced tumors. 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase Mus musculus
3 Because secondary tumor formation is a serious threat in chemotherapy with these drugs, we explored whether and to what extent the DNA repair protein DNA-O6-methylguanine:protein-L-cysteine S-methyltransferase (MGMT) protects against CNU-induced tumors. 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase Mus musculus
4 The results provide clear evidence that MGMT exerts protection against CNU-induced cancer. 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase Mus musculus
5 Our data also indicate that O6-chloroethylguanine, which is repaired by MGMT, is a main precarcinogenic CNU-induced DNA lesion. 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase Mus musculus
