RNA Repair: Damage Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
RNA in a cell is subject to many of the same insults as DNA. RNA damage can induce apoptosis and may be exploited for anti-cancer chemotherapy. It is a surprise, however, to learn that cells may repair RNA damage, suggesting a far greater significance of RNA in genotoxic stress.

RNA Repair: Damage Control Dispatch
Damage to DNA is a significant issue for all cells, particularly in cancer where DNA repair commonly fails. It is not widely appreciated that many agents that cause damage to DNA, such as radiation and certain cancer chemotherapy drugs, also damage RNA. Given that there is at least as much RNA in a cell as DNA, wherever DNA is damaged by such agents, RNA is surely damaged as well. When the dama...
متن کاملSRSF10 Connects DNA Damage to the Alternative Splicing of Transcripts Encoding Apoptosis, Cell-Cycle Control, and DNA Repair Factors
RNA binding proteins and signaling components control the production of pro-death and pro-survival splice variants of Bcl-x. DNA damage promoted by oxaliplatin increases the level of pro-apoptotic Bcl-xS in an ATM/CHK2-dependent manner, but how this shift is enforced is not known. Here, we show that in normally growing cells, when the 5' splice site of Bcl-xS is largely repressed, SRSF10 partia...
متن کاملA genome-wide RNAi screen identifies core components of the G₂-M DNA damage checkpoint.
The DNA damage checkpoint, the first pathway known to be activated in response to DNA damage, is a mechanism by which the cell cycle is temporarily arrested to allow DNA repair. The checkpoint pathway transmits signals from the sites of DNA damage to the cell cycle machinery through the evolutionarily conserved ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) and ATR (ATM- and Rad3-related) kinase cascades....
متن کاملO-35: Over-Expression of XRCC1 As Potential Biomarker for Poor Prognosis in Human Preimplantation Embryos: Selection by Study of 84 Genes Involved in DNA Damage Signaling Pathways
Background: Chromosome abnormalities are associated with poor morphology and development in human preimplantation embryos, all together lead to poor outcomes. This study aimed to explore altered expression of DNA damage pathways in “poor morphological and development embryos with sever aneuploidies”. Materials and Methods: Surplus day-4 embryos of PGD cases were pooled in two groups: Poor progn...
متن کاملP-185: Hawthorn Berries Ethanolic Extract Lowered Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome- Elevated RNA Damage in Follicular Cells
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder. Various constituents including flavonoids with biological activities including free radical scavenging, anti-lipoperoxidation and anti-inflammatory have been isolated from hawthorn. Due to adverse effect of PCOS on ovarian vascular remodeling as well as PCOS-induced oxidative stress, we aimed to study the hawthorn’s berri...
