Defective repair of oxidative damage in the mitochondrial DNA of a xeroderma pigmentosum group A cell line.

چکیده
Recent evidence has linked mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage to several disease processes,including cancer and aging. An important source of such damage is reactive oxygen species. These molecules can be generated endogenously via the electron transport system or may arise from a host of exogenous sources. It has been reported that extracts from cells of individuals with xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XP-A) do not repair some types of oxidative DNA damage. The current experiments were designed to determine whether there is a correlation between the inadequate repair of oxidatively damaged nuclear DNA in XP-A cells and the capacity of such cells to repair similar damage to their mtDNA. The ability of karyotypically normal human fibroblasts (WI-38) and XP-A fibroblasts to repair alloxan-generated oxidative damage to nuclear and mtDNA was assessed using a quantitative Southern blot method in conjunction with the repair enzymes endonuclease III and formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase. The data indicate that both nuclear and mtDNA repair of each damage type investigated is more efficient in the WI-38 cells. These findings suggest a similarity between the process(es) used to repair oxidative damage to nuclear and mtDNA in that both are inhibited by the defect in XP-A.

Defective Mitophagy in XPA via PARP-1 Hyperactivation and NAD+/SIRT1 Reduction
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a common feature in neurodegeneration and aging. We identify mitochondrial dysfunction in xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA), a nucleotide excision DNA repair disorder with severe neurodegeneration, in silico and in vivo. XPA-deficient cells show defective mitophagy with excessive cleavage of PINK1 and increased mitochondrial membrane potential. The mitochondrial a...
متن کاملOxidative damage-induced PCNA complex formation is efficient in xeroderma pigmentosum group A but reduced in Cockayne syndrome group B cells.
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a processivity factor for DNA polymerases delta and epsilon, is essential for both DNA replication and repair. PCNA is required in the resynthesis step of nucleotide excision repair (NER). After UV irradiation, PCNA translocates into an insoluble protein complex, most likely associated with the nuclear matrix. It has not previously been investigated in...
متن کاملXPD localizes in mitochondria and protects the mitochondrial genome from oxidative DNA damage
Xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD/ERCC2) encodes an ATP-dependent helicase that plays essential roles in both transcription and nucleotide excision repair of nuclear DNA, however, whether or not XPD exerts similar functions in mitochondria remains elusive. In this study, we provide the first evidence that XPD is localized in the inner membrane of mitochondria, and cells under oxidative stress ...
متن کاملCorrection of the DNA repair defect in xeroderma pigmentosum group E by injection of a DNA damage-binding protein.
Cells from a subset of patients with the DNA-repair-defective disease xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E (XP-E) are known to lack a DNA damage-binding (DDB) activity. Purified human DDB protein was injected into XP-E cells to test whether the DNA-repair defect in these cells is caused by a defect in DDB activity. Injected DDB protein stimulated DNA repair to normal levels in those st...

Fluorescent light (FL) has been shown to generate free radicals within cells, however, the specific chemical nature of DNA damage induced by FL has not previously been determined. Using gas chromatography/isotope dilution mass spectrometry, we have detected induction of the oxidative DNA lesions 5-hydroxycytosine (5-OH-Cyt), 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua) and 4, 6-diamino...
