Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Tumors Harboring Homologous Recombination Deficiency: Challenges in Attaining Efficacy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Cancer cells harbor genomic instability due to accumulated DNA damage, one of the cancer hallmarks. At least five major DNA Damage Repair (DDR) pathways are recognized to repair DNA damages during different stages of the cell cycle, comprehending base ...

Downregulation of both mismatch repair and non-homologous end-joining pathways in hypoxic brain tumour cell lines [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
Glioblastoma, a grade IV astrocytoma, has a poor survival rate in part due to ineffective treatment options available. These tumours are heterogeneous with areas of low oxygen levels, termed hypoxic regions.

EGFR inhibits DNA mismatch repair [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
Safeguarding the integrity of the genome should not be left to chance. Indeed, all organisms have highly effective mechanisms to detect and remove errors and lesions in DNA. DNA mismatch repair (MMR) serves as the final safeguard in assuring the fidelity of DNA replication from bacteria to humans and backstops the nucleotide selection and exonuclease ...

Error-free and error-prone DNA repair gene expression data through reprogramming and passage in human iPS cells

open access: yesData in Brief, 2020
We recently found that DNA repair-related gene expression could be altered by reprogramming as well as the increased expression of genes that accurately convey genomic information, such as homologous recombination (HR) and mismatch repair (MMR), and the ...

DNA mismatch repair and infertility [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Urology, 2010
To highlight the significance of the abnormal DNA repair mechanism in male infertility.DNA repair defects cause a variety of spermatogenic defects in mouse models. Evidence is accumulating to demonstrate the importance of DNA repair defects in human nonobstructive azoospermia.

An Msh3 ATPase domain mutation has no effect on MMR function

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2017
Objective To demonstrate that the Msh3 ATPase domain is required for DNA mismatch repair and tumor suppression in a murine model. Results The DNA mismatch repair proteins are members of the ABC family of ATPases.

DNA Mismatch Repair [PDF]

open access: yesEcoSal Plus, 2012
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) corrects replication errors in newly synthesized DNA. It also has an antirecombination action on heteroduplexes that contain similar but not identical sequences. This review focuses on the genetics and development of MMR and not on the latest biochemical mechanisms.

Sensing and Processing of DNA Interstrand Crosslinks by the Mismatch Repair Pathway

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) that are repaired in non-dividing cells must be recognized independently of replication-associated DNA unwinding. Using cell-free extracts from Xenopus eggs that support neither replication nor transcription, we

Decreased transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair capacity is associated with increased p53- and MLH1-independent apoptosis in response to cisplatin

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2010
Background One of the most commonly used classes of anti-cancer drugs presently in clinical practice is the platinum-based drugs, including cisplatin.

Escherichia coli frameshift mutation rate depends on the chromosomal context but not on the GATC content near the mutation site. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Different studies have suggested that mutation rate varies at different positions in the genome. In this work we analyzed if the chromosomal context and/or the presence of GATC sites can affect the frameshift mutation rate in the Escherichia coli genome.
