The OGG1 and MYH DNA glycosylases prevent the accumulation of DNA 8-hydroxyguanine. In Myh(-/-) mice, there was no time-dependent accumulation of DNA 8-hydroxyguanine in brain, small intestine, lung, spleen, or kidney. Liver was an exception to this general pattern. Inactivation of both MYH and OGG1 caused an age-associated accumulation of DNA 8-hydroxyguanine in lung and small intestine. The effects of abrogated OGG1 and MYH on hepatic DNA 8-hydroxyguanine levels were additive. Because there is an increased incidence of lung and small intestine cancer in Myh(-/-)/Ogg1(-/-) mice, these findings support a causal role for unrepaired oxidized DNA bases in cancer development.
