Prospective study of urinary excretion of 7‐methylguanine and the risk of lung cancer: Effect modification by mu class glutathione‐S‐transferases

Abstract: Nitrosamines are mainly mutagenic through methylation of DNA. 7-Methylguanine (m 7 Gua) is a product of base excision repair and spontaneous depurination of such lesions in DNA and a metabolite from RNA. Associations between urinary excretion of m 7 Gua and risk of lung cancer were examined in a population-based cohort of 25,717 men and 27,972 women aged 50-64 years. During 3-7 years follow-up 260 cases with lung cancer were identified and a subcohort of 263 individuals matched on sex, age and smoking duration… Show more

“…Lifestyle has a more significant effect on urinary m 7 Gua than 8-OH-dG, based on all statistical analyses. The urinary excretion of m 7 Gua has not been extensively investigated as a biomarker, (58) except for the influences of smoking. (29,54) In this study, urine samples from male working subjects at a specific company were analyzed.…”

“…Mutagenic changes in DNA sequences and epigenetic modifications can cause an incorrect DNA replication and transcription, and this is well known to be linked with several types of diseases and metabolic disorders [2][3][4]. Epigenetic modifications are defined as covalent chemical changes in DNA nucleic bases with no sequence modifications.…”

“…If not repaired, apurinic sites can potentially cause G to T transversions (14). Previously, urinary excretion of N7-MeG has been found to be increased in laboratory animals after exposure to methylating agents (15), and the N7-MeG in urine has been shown to be higher among smokers than among nonsmokers, probably resulting from exposure to tobaccospecific nitrosamines (16,17). Although nitrosamines do exist in coke oven emissions, no information was available on the urinary N7-MeG levels of workers related to the occupational exposure to coke oven emissions.…”
