Oxidative damage to DNA: levels of thymine glycol and thymidine glycol in neoplastic human urines.

Abstract:

:We have measured the levels of thymine glycol (TG) and thymidine glycol (dTG) in human urine, using an HPLC method. The results show that all 30 specimens examined (including 10 non-neoplastic and 20 neoplastic human urines) contained significant amounts of TG and dTG, average levels (mean +/- SEM) were 0.376 +/- 0.026 and 0.138 +/- 0.009 nmol/kg body weight/day respectively. The average levels of TG and dTG were 0.435 +/- 0.038 and 0.164 +/- 0.017 nmol/kg body weight/day in 10 healthy human urine specimens and 0.347 +/- 0.035 and 0.125 +/- 0.010 nmol/kg body weight/day in 20 neoplastic human urine specimens respectively. No significant differences were found between female and male as well as between the non-neoplastic and neoplastic human urine specimens. There were also wide interindividual variations, which were not age-dependent.

  • Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 promotes transforming growth factor-{beta}1-mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and motility in transformed human esophageal cells.

    abstract::Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 is overexpressed frequently in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Yet, the role of IGFBP3 in esophageal tumor biology remains to be elucidated.
