Targeting EZH2 reverses thyroid cell dedifferentiation and enhances iodide uptake in anaplastic thyroid cancer

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) lacks iodide uptake ability due to MAPK activation increasing the expression of the histone methyltransferase EZH2, which represses thyroid differentiation genes (TDGs) such as the sodium iodide symporter (NIS). Dual inhibition of MAPK (U0126) and EZH2 (EPZ6438/Tazemetostat) reverses this mechanism, thus restoring TDG ...

Specialized interfaces of Smc5/6 control hinge stability and DNA association

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) complexes maintain genome integrity by regulating the segregation of chromosomes. Here, Altet al. describe the structure of the heterodimeric Smc5/6-hinge from fission yeast and define functional features ...

The AT Interstrand Cross-Link: Structure, Electronic Properties, and Influence on Charge Transfer in dsDNA

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2018
The interaction of chemical and physical agents with genetic material can lead to almost 80 different DNA damage formations. The targeted intentional DNA damage by radiotherapy or chemotherapy is a front-line anticancer therapy. An interstrand cross-link

The Influence of Single, Tandem, and Clustered DNA Damage on the Electronic Properties of the Double Helix: A Theoretical Study

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Oxidatively generated damage to DNA frequently appears in the human genome as the effect of aerobic metabolism or as the result of exposure to exogenous oxidizing agents, such as ionization radiation.

Isolation of human and murine hematopoietic stem cells for DNA damage and DNA repair assays

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2021
Summary: Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) reside in the bone marrow and supply blood cells. Efficient methods for isolation of HSPCs are required. Here, we present protocols for the isolation of human and murine HSPCs using manual and FACS-

Common Mitochondrial DNA Mutations Generated through DNA-Mediated Charge Transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Mutation sites that arise in human mitochondrial DNA as a result of oxidation by a rhodium photooxidant have been identified. HeLa cells were incubated with [Rh(phi)2bpy]Cl3 (phi is 9,10-phenanthrenequinone diimine), an intercalating photooxidant, to ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Bioinformatic approaches to the investigation of the atavistic genes implicated in cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021
Introduction: Cancer is a widespread phenomenon occurring across multicellular organisms and represents a condition of atavism, wherein cells follow a path of reverse evolution that unlocks a toolkit of ancient pre-existing adaptations by disturbing hub ...

TGF-β signaling links E-cadherin loss to suppression of nucleotide excision repair. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule best known for its function in suppressing tumor progression and metastasis. Here we show that E-cadherin promotes nucleotide excision repair through positively regulating the expression of xeroderma pigmentosum ...
