RETRACTED: DNA damage, homology-directed repair, and DNA methylation.
To explore the link between DNA damage and gene silencing, we induced a DNA double-strand break in the genome of Hela or mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells using I-SceI restriction endonuclease. The I-SceI site lies within one copy of two inactivated tandem

Background Detecting organ and tissue damage is essential for early diagnosis, treatment decisions, and monitoring disease progression. Methylation-based assays offer a promising approach, as DNA methylation patterns can change in response to tissue ...

Histone methylation and the DNA damage response [PDF]
Preserving genome function and stability are paramount for ensuring cellular homeostasis, an imbalance in which can promote diseases including cancer. In the presence of DNA lesions, cells activate pathways referred to as the DNA damage response (DDR). As nuclear DNA is bound by histone proteins and organized into chromatin in eukaryotes, DDR pathways ...

Alu (B1 in rodents) hypomethylation, commonly found in diabetes mellitus patients, increases DNA damage and, consequently, delays the healing process.

Hypermethylation of genes detected in urine from Ghanaian adults with bladder pathology associated with Schistosoma haematobium infection. [PDF]
Schistosoma haematobium is associated with chronic bladder damage and may subsequently induce bladder cancer in humans, thus posing a serious threat where the parasite is endemic.

DNA Damage Repair and DNA Methylation in the Kidney [PDF]
The DNA repair system is essential for the maintenance of genome integrity and is mainly investigated in the areas of aging and cancer. The DNA repair system is strikingly cell-type specific, depending on the expression of DNA repair factors; therefore, different DNA repair systems may exist in each type of kidney cell.

Methylation of the Suppressor Gene p16INK4a: Mechanism and Consequences
Tumor suppressor genes in the CDKN2A/B locus (p15INK4b, p16INK4a, and p14ARF) function as biological barriers to transformation and are the most frequently silenced or deleted genes in human cancers.
