DNA Repair Protein Expression and Oxidative/Nitrosative Stress in Ulcerative Colitis and Sporadic Colorectal Cancer.
Anticancer Research 2021 July
BACKGROUND/AIM: Chronic inflammation generates large quantities of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that damage DNA. DNA repair is important for cellular viability and genome integrity.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Expression levels of the DNA repair proteins OGG1, XPA, MLH1, PARP1, and XRCC6, which function in base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, mismatch repair, single-strand break repair and double-strand break repair, respectively, were assessed using immunohistochemistry in ulcerative colitis and sporadic colorectal cancer biopsies. Levels of oxidative/ nitrosative stress biomarkers were also assessed.
RESULTS: Ulcerative colitis and colorectal cancer lesions expressed significantly higher levels of all DNA repair proteins and oxidative/ nitrosative stress biomarkers compared to normal colonic mucosa. Ulcerative colitis had the highest XPA and XRCC6 expression.
CONCLUSION: Oxidative/nitrosative stress is prevalent in the colon of both diseases. Nucleotide excision repair and non-homologous end-joining double-strand break repair may be compromised in colorectal cancer, but not in ulcerative colitis.
