Abstract

Development of oral cavity cancer in man has been linked to alcohol consumption and use of tobacco products. In order to understand the underlying carcinogenic mechanisms in the oral cavity a method is needed to monitor exposure of this site to various environmental insults. In this pilot study we evaluate the use of the 32P-postlabeling assay to detect adducts in DNA from exfoliated oral mucosa cells. Exfoliated cells were collected from the cheek and tongue of 27 men aged 35-69 years. DNA was extracted from the cells and analyzed by the enhanced 32P-postlabeling technique using butanol extraction. A variety of adduct spots were detected but none was consistently associated with exposure to alcohol or tobacco products. Some of the adducts detected had migration patterns in TLC very similar to the major deoxyguanosine adducts formed by the diol epoxides of benzo[a]pyrene and 5-methylchrysene, suggesting that they may have been formed from polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Adduct spots with migration patterns similar to polynuclear hydrocarbon adducts accounted for only about one third of the total adduct spots observed. Relative adduct labeling (RAL) values were determined for samples from 12 of the 27 individuals. RAL values ...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
