Induction of microsatellite instability by oxidative DNA damage.
Instability of repetitive sequences, both in intronic sequences and within coding regions, has been demonstrated to be a hallmark of genomic instability in human cancer. Understanding how these mutational events arise may provide an opportunity for prevention or early intervention in cancer development. To study the source of this instability, we have identified a region of the beta-lactamase g...
متن کاملInduction of a low level of microsatellite instability by overexpression of DNA polymerase Beta.
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is the condition in which high rates of frameshift mutations are observed in short tandem repeat sequences. Mutations in sequences of this type in coding regions of cancer-related genes can contribute to the development of cancer. Although defects in mismatch repair are usually responsible for high levels of MSI, low levels of MSI have been observed in some canc...
متن کاملOxidative DNA damage causes mitochondrial genomic instability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Mitochondria contain their own genome, the integrity of which is required for normal cellular energy metabolism. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by normal mitochondrial respiration can damage cellular macromolecules, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and have been implicated in degenerative diseases, cancer, and aging. We developed strategies to elevate mitochondrial oxidative stress ...
متن کاملIs the repair of oxidative DNA base modifications inducible by a preceding DNA damage induction?
In mammalian cells, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) and some other oxidative guanine modifications are removed from the DNA by base excision repair, which is initiated by OGG1 protein. We have tested whether this repair is inducible in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), MCF-7 breast cancer cells and primary human fibroblasts by a pretreatment with the photosensitizer Ro19-8022 plus light, wh...
متن کاملInduction of chromosomal instability by chronic oxidative stress.
Earlier studies using GM10115 cells analyzed the capability of different DNA-damaging agents to induce genomic instability and found that acute oxidative stress was relatively inefficient at eliciting a persistent destabilization of chromosomes. To determine whether this situation would change under chronic exposure conditions, the human-hamster hybrid line GM10115 was cultured under conditions...
