The recognition of DNA damage

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 1996
DNA strand breaks are potentially mutagenic and must, therefore, be recognized and repaired. Recent work has identified DNA polymerase epsilon, Ku, and proteins such as DNA-PKcs, Mec1 and Tel1 as key players in DNA damage recognition pathways. Studies on these and other factors have provided important insights into the mechanisms of DNA repair and how ...

DNA damage tolerance

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2016
Accurate chromosomal DNA replication is fundamental for optimal cellular function and genome integrity. Replication perturbations activate DNA damage tolerance pathways, which are crucial to complete genome duplication as well as to prevent formation of deleterious double strand breaks.

DNA damage and aging

Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2004
The hypothesis discussed here is that a major component of aging in metazoans is oxidative damage to nuclear DNA. Such a viewpoint would be consistent with the fact that all of the thus far identified premature aging syndromes in mammals involve mutations in nuclear proteins.

DNA Damage and Polyploidization

2010
A growing body of evidence indicates that polyploidization triggers chromosomal instability and contributes to tumorigenesis. DNA damage is increasingly being recognized for its roles in promoting polyploidization. Although elegant mechanisms known as the DNA damage checkpoints are responsible for halting the cell cycle after DNA damage, agents that ...

Sperm DNA damage and its relation with leukocyte DNA damage

Reproductive Toxicology, 2010
DNA fragmentation in human sperm has been related to endogenous and exogenous factors. Exogenous factors can also affect leukocyte DNA integrity. This study evaluated the relation between sperm DNA damage and leukocyte DNA integrity, as a predictor of exogenous factors.

DNA Damage and Repair

1991
Some of the background to radiation chemical studies of DNA damage is presented, followed by a review of measurements of such damage and its repair in mammalian cells. While most effort has been placed on the measurement of radiation-induced strand breaks (because assays can be used in the biologically relevant dose range), the radiation-altered bases ...

Benzophenone Photosensitized DNA Damage

Accounts of Chemical Research, 2012
Although the carcinogenic potential of ultraviolet radiation is well-known, UV light may interact with DNA by direct absorption or through photosensitization by endogenous or exogenous chromophores. These chromophores can extend the "active" fraction of the solar spectrum to the UVA region and beyond, which means that photosensitizers increase the ...

DNA damage, repair and chromosomal damage

International Journal of Radiation Biology, 1997
An important question in radiobiology is the relationship between primary DNA damage and chromosomal aberrations. What determines the chromosomal aberration frequency, especially in radiosensitive cells? Much evidence points to the double-strand break (dsb) as the critical lesion, however there is controversy over whether it is the initial induction ...

Myeloma and DNA damage

Blood
Abstract DNA-damaging agents have represented the first effective treatment for the blood cancer multiple myeloma, and after 65 years since their introduction to the clinic, they remain one of the mainstay therapies for this disease. Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells.

DNA Damage, Aging, and Cancer

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
NA damage has emerged as a major culprit in cancer and many diseases related to aging. The stability of the genome is supported by an intricate machinery of repair, damage tolerance, and checkpoint pathways that counteracts DNA damage. In addition, DNA damage and other stresses can trigger a highly conserved, anticancer, antiaging survival response ...
