Kinetic Modeling Reveals the Roles of Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging and DNA Repair Processes in Shaping the Dose-Response Curve of KBrO3-Induced DNA Damage

Effect of GSH levels on KBrO3-induced oxidative DNA damage. GSH levels were drastically reduced in this simulation to reveal how different concentrations of GSH would affect the dose-response dependence of 8-OH-dG and SSB. (a) Time dependence of 8-OH-dG (green) and SSB (red) levels after exposure to various concentrations of KBrO3 (blue). (b) Dose-response dependence of 8-OH-dG (green) and SSB (red) short time after exposure (). (c) Dose-response dependence of 8-OH-dG (green) and SSB (red) at a time point shortly before steady state, reached much later after the exposure, reveals dose-response shapes of 8-OH-dG (inset) and SSB similar to the base model.
