8-oxo-dG accumulation alters gene expression in multiple ways. 8-oxo-dG-mediated recruitment on chromatin has been suggested to weakly dampen RNA polymerase transcription activity. On the contrary, oxidative damage has been demonstrated to promote gene expression through the induction of G-quadruplex formation, chromatin relaxation and reduced DNA methylation.
