Abstract EN
In cells, DNA repair has to keep up with DNA damage to maintain the integrity of the genome and prevent mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.
While the importance of both DNA damage and repair is clear, the impact of imbalances between both processes has not been studied.
In this paper, we created a combined mathematical model for the formation of DNA adducts from oxidative estrogen metabolism followed by base excision repair (BER) of these adducts.
The model encompasses a set of differential equations representing the sequence of enzymatic reactions in both damage and repair pathways.
By combining both pathways, we can simulate the overall process by starting from a given time-dependent concentration of 17β-estradiol (E2) and 2′-deoxyguanosine, determine the extent of adduct formation and the correction by BER required to preserve the integrity of DNA.
The model allows us to examine the effect of phenotypic and genotypic factors such as different concentrations of estrogen and variant enzyme haplotypes on the formation and repair of DNA adducts.
