The role of DNA damage in laminopathy progeroid syndromes.
Progeroid laminopathies are characterized by the abnormal processing of lamin A, the appearance of misshapen nuclei, and the accumulation and persistence of DNA damage. In the present article, I consider the contribution of defective DNA damage pathways to the pathology of progeroid laminopathies. Defects in DNA repair pathways appear to be caused by a combination of factors. These include abno...
متن کاملDNA damage responses in progeroid syndromes arise from defective maturation of prelamin A.
The genetic diseases Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and restrictive dermopathy (RD) arise from accumulation of farnesylated prelamin A because of defects in the lamin A maturation pathway. Both of these diseases exhibit symptoms that can be viewed as accelerated aging. The mechanism by which accumulation of farnesylated prelamin A leads to these accelerated aging phenotypes is not ...
متن کاملInhibition of UV light- and Fenton reaction-induced oxidative DNA damage by the soybean isoflavone genistein.
We have investigated the effect of the soybean isoflavone genistein on 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) formation in calf thymus DNA exposed to either UV irradiation or the Fenton reaction system. Under the conditions used we observed that UV light and the Fenton reaction significantly increase 8-OHdG formation in DNA. Co-incubation with genistein inhibits the formation of 8-OHdG induced by...
متن کاملMetastasis suppressor NM23-H1 promotes repair of UV-induced DNA damage and suppresses UV-induced melanomagenesis.
Reduced expression of the metastasis suppressor NM23-H1 is associated with aggressive forms of multiple cancers. Here, we establish that NM23-H1 (termed H1 isoform in human, M1 in mouse) and two of its attendant enzymatic activities, the 3'-5' exonuclease and nucleoside diphosphate kinase, are novel participants in the cellular response to UV radiation (UVR)-induced DNA damage. NM23-H1 deficien...
متن کاملUV-induced DNA damage and repair: a review.
Increases in ultraviolet radiation at the Earth's surface due to the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer have recently fuelled interest in the mechanisms of various effects it might have on organisms. DNA is certainly one of the key targets for UV-induced damage in a variety of organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. UV radiation induces two of the most abundant mutagenic and cytotoxi...
