Abstract 4245: Effects of black raspberries extract on DNA repair capacity and metabolic activation/detoxification of the tobacco carcinogen dibenzo[def,p] in human oral cells
Abstract:We previously reported that black raspberries (BRB) powder inhibits dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (also known as dibenzo[a,l]pyrene; DBP)-induced DNA damage, mutagenesis and carcinogenesis in the mouse oral cavity. The effects of BRB on the capacity of DNA repair was investigated in an established in vitro system using HeLa cells to assess the DNA repair capacity. We found that pre-treatment of Hela cells with BRB extracts (BRBE) can enhance the nucleotide excision repair (NER) of a bulky DNA adduct derived from the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
