“…dG-C8-PhIP, the principal adduct formed with PhIP, ,, induces C:G > A:T and C:G > T:A transversions and the C:G > G:C transition in rodents, transgenic target genes, mouse embryo fibroblasts, human-induced pluripotent stem cells, and site-specific mutagenesis studies. ,− The PhIP mutational signature shows similarity to COSMIC SBS4, SBS8, SBS18, and SBS29 mutational signatures found in several types of human tumors, including the prostate . However, these signatures are not unique to PhIP, and DNA adducts of other environmental, dietary, and endogenous genotoxicants are likely to contribute to these mutations. , Other components in red meat, such as heme iron, can damage organs through free radical formation, and LPO products formed in cooked meat also may form DNA adducts or serve as tumor promoters …”
