The molecular epidemiology of oxidative damage to DNA and cancer.
Oxygen is required for respiration and the energetic processes that enable aerobic life. A cost associated with oxygen use is free-radical formation, which damages genome stability and contributes to various processes including aging, degenerative diseases, and cancer (1,2). Foods including fruits, vegetables, tea components, and trans-fats; nutrients including vitamins C and E, selenium, beta-...
متن کاملFeeding to Reduce Oxidative Damage
Although they are necessary for many physiological functions, when produced in excess or without adequate resolution, free radicals may contribute to several equine diseases. For example, an 83% difference in protein carbonyls, a marker of oxidative damage to proteins, was noted in synovial fluid of horses with joint disease compared to non-diseased joints. In another instance, thiobarbituric r...
متن کاملWhy Is the Nervous System Vulnerable to Oxidative Stress?
The nervous system is especially vulnerable to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated injury for the following reasons. (1) High oxygen consumption of the brain for high energy needs, that is, high O2 consumption, results in excessive ROS produced. (2) Neuronal membranes are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which are particularly vulnerable to free radical attack. (3) The ratio of me...
متن کاملMelanocytes Are Selectively Vulnerable to UVA-mediated Bystander Oxidative Signaling
Long-wave UVA is the major component of terrestrial UV radiation and is also the predominant constituent of indoor sunlamps, both of which have been shown to increase cutaneous melanoma risk. Using a two-chamber model, we show that UVA-exposed target cells induce intercellular oxidative signaling to non-irradiated bystander cells. This UVA-mediated bystander stress is observed between all three...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms by which oxidative DNA damage promotes telomerase activity
Telomeres are highly susceptible to oxidative DNA damage, which if left unrepaired can lead to dysregulation of telomere length homeostasis. Here we employed single molecule FRET, single molecule pull-down and biochemical analysis to investigate how the most common oxidative DNA lesions, 8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) and thymine glycol (Tg), regulate the structural properties of telomeric DNA and telome...
