Cell Cycle Activation Linked to Neuronal Cell Death Initiated by DNA Damage
Increasing evidence indicates that neurodegeneration involves the activation of the cell cycle machinery in postmitotic neurons. However, the purpose of these cell cycle-associated events in neuronal apoptosis remains unknown. Here we tested the hypothesis that cell cycle activation is a critical component of the DNA damage response in postmitotic neurons. Different genotoxic compounds (etoposi...
متن کاملCell cycle activation contributes to post-mitotic cell death and secondary damage after spinal cord injury.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes delayed secondary biochemical alterations that lead to tissue loss and associated neurological dysfunction. Up-regulation of cell cycle proteins occurs in both neurons and glia after SCI and may contribute to these changes. The present study examined the role of cell cycle activation on secondary injury after severe SCI in rat. SCI caused cell cycle protein up-re...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Induced Cell Necrosis: Involves Apoptosis Death Signals Initiated by Mitochondrial Injury
Introduction: Severe industrial diseases result from the hepatic accumulation of mercury, cadmium or chromium in humans and on the other hand cadmium and dichromate and mercuric salts may induce lung or kidney cancer. Acute or chronic CdCl2, HgCl2 or dichromate administration induces hepatic and nephrotoxicity in rodents. Oxidative stress is often cited as a possible cause of metal induced cell...
متن کاملSensitization of cancer cells to DNA damage-induced cell death by specific cell cycle G2 checkpoint abrogation.
We devised two short peptides corresponding to amino acids 211-221 of human Cdc25C fused with a part of HIV1-TAT. These peptides inhibited hChk1 and Chk2/HuCds1 kinase activity in vitro and specifically abrogated the G2 checkpoint in vivo. These peptides sensitized p53-defective cancer cell lines to DNA-damaging agent to death without obvious cytotoxic effect on normal cells. Our results clearl...
متن کاملRelative Contribution of DNA Repair, Cell Cycle Checkpoints, and Cell Death to Survival after DNA Damage in Drosophila Larvae
BACKGROUND Components of the DNA damage checkpoint are essential for surviving exposure to DNA damaging agents. Checkpoint activation leads to cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and apoptosis in eukaryotes. Cell cycle regulation and DNA repair appear essential for unicellular systems to survive DNA damage. The relative importance of these responses and apoptosis for surviving DNA damage in multicel...
