Modulation of N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea Mutagenesis in Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts Derived from the gpt Delta Mouse by an Inhibitor of the O6-Methylguanine Methyltransferase, MGMT

DNA methylating agents are abundant in the environment and are sometimes used in cancer chemotherapy. They react with DNA to form methyl-DNA adducts and byproduct lesions that can be both toxic and mutagenic. Foremost among the mutagenic lesions is O6-methylguanine (m6G), which base pairs with thymi...
