Ataxia telangiectasia derived iPS cells show preserved x-ray sensitivity and decreased chromosomal instability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ataxia telangiectasia is a neurodegenerative inherited disease with chromosomal instability and hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation. iPS cells lacking ATM (AT-iPS cells) exhibited hypersensitivity to X-ray irradiation, one of the characteristics of the disease. While parental ataxia telangiectasia cells exhibited significant chromosomal abnormalities, AT-iPS cells did not show any chromosomal instability in vitro for at least 80 passages (560 days). Whole exome analysis also showed a comparable nucleotide substitution rate in AT-iPS cells. Taken together, these data show that ATM is involved in protection from irradiation-induced cell death.

Ataxia-telangiectasia-like Chinese hamster V79 cell mutants with radioresistant DNA synthesis, chromosomal instability, and normal DNA strand break repair.
We have isolated three radiosensitive mutants (V-C4, V-E5, and V-G8) of the Chinese hamster V79 cell line which also show increased sensitivities to killing by bleomycin (approximately 2-5-fold) and ethyl methanesulfonate (approximately 2-fold). Genetic complementation analysis indicates that all three mutants belong to one complementation group. The mutants show a radioresistant DNA synthesis ...

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a multisystem hereditary disease featuring neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, extreme cancer proneness, chromosomal instability, and radiosensitivity. A-T is found in many ethnic groups, and is genetically heterogeneous: four complementation groups have been identified in A-T so far. Attempts to isolate the A-T gene are based in part on gene transfer experiments...

A better understanding of the mechanism of chromosomal aberration formation could be obtained by using DNA repair inhibitors. Immortalized normal human (MRC 5 SVI) and ataxia telangiectasia ( AT 5 BIV A ) fibroblastic cell lines were treated with adenosine arabinoside (ara-A) and cytosine arabinoside (ara-C), both potent inhibitors of DNA dsb repair, alone or in combination with x-rays at ...

Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is a recessive genetic disease featuring neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, chromosomal instability, radiation hypersensitivity, and increased predisposition to cancer. Reduced or de layed induction of the tumor suppressor protein p53 after y-irradiation was reported. These characteristics may be compatible with an inability to correctly regulate apoptosis. We show ...
