Targeting the 8-oxodG Base Excision Repair Pathway for Cancer Therapy by Anna Piscone, Francesca Gorini, Susanna Ambrosio, Anna Noviello, Giovanni Scala, Barbara Majello, Stefano Amente

“…Among the mechanisms safeguarding genomic stability, the Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway plays a pivotal role in counteracting oxidative DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species. Central to this pathway are enzymes like 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1), which recognize and excise 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) lesions, thereby initiating a series of repair processes that restore DNA integrity. …”
