Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIM: To examine the mutation of DNA repair genes of human bronchial epithelial cells malignant transformation induced by glycidyl methacrylate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To evaluate the mutation of DNA repair genes XRCC1, hMSH2, XPD and XRCC3 by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragments length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP), and the result was verified by the DNA sequencing. RESULTS: The mutation of hMSH2 IVS12-6 (T>C) was observed, while mutations in the other genes were not found.The results from PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing were consistent. CONCLUSION:The mutation of DNA repair genes hMSH2 IVS12-6 (T>C)might be important and an initation step during the malignant transformation of human bronchial epithelial cells induced by glycidyl methacrylate.
