DNA-Repair Capacity in Down\'s Syndrome
Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in human. Subjects with DS are known to be peridisposed to develop leukemia. The molecular basis of the association between DS and leukemia is unknown. The unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test measure the ability of DNA-repair in mammalian cells after excision of a stretch of DNA containing the region of damage induced by chemical ...
متن کاملDNA Repair Pathways and Mechanisms
Our cells are constantly exposed to insults from endogenous and exogenous agents that can introduce damage into our DNA and generate genomic instability. Many of these lesions cause structural damage to DNA and can alter or eliminate fundamental cellular processes, such as DNA replication or transcription. DNA lesions commonly include base and sugar modifications, singleand double-strand breaks...
متن کاملNickel Increases Chromosomal Abnormalities by Interfering with the Initiation of DNA Repair Pathways
Background: Nickel is a carcinogenic, heavy metal released through industrial activities and via natural resources. It is able to cause DNA damages by reducing the efficiency of DNA repair mechanisms. However, the exact time point at which it is able to interfere with these mechanisms is not yet clearly understood. Methods: To find the most nickel-vulnerable time of repair mechanisms, human de...
متن کاملThe role of DNA mismatch repair in drug resistance.
Loss of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) has been observed in a variety of human cancers. In addition to predisposing to oncogenesis, loss of MMR activity is of concern with respect to the use of chemotherapeutic agents to treat established tumors. Loss of MMR results in drug resistance directly by impairing the ability of the cell to detect DNA damage and activate apoptosis and indirectly by increasi...
متن کاملThe role of DNA mismatch repair in platinum drug resistance.
Loss of DNA mismatch repair occurs in many types of tumors. The effect of the loss of DNA mismatch repair activity on sensitivity to cisplatin and a panel of analogues was tested using two pairs of cell lines proficient or deficient in this function. HCT116+ch2, a human colon cancer cell line deficient in hMLH1, was 2.1-fold resistant to cisplatin and 1.3-fold resistant to carboplatin when comp...
