To investigate the blood-based DNA methylation of repair genes including LIG4, XRCC4, XRCC5, XRCC6 and XRCC7 that involved in non-homologous end-joining (NEHJ) DNA repair pathway in patients with glioma. Blood samples were obtained from 114 glioma patients, 96 normal controls, and 81 glioma patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Blood-based DNA methylation of the five NHEJ repair genes was assayed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP). The DNA methylation level of XRCC5 and XRCC7 in glioma group are significantly higher than those of normal group (P<0.001). Moreover, radiotherapy treatment significantly increased methylation level of XRCC5 and XRCC7 compared to glioma group. No significant difference for the methylation of the other three genes, LIG4, XRCC4 and XRCC6 were detected among three groups. In conclusion: our findings indicate that DNA methylation modification plays an important role to regulate the gene expression of XRCC5 and XRCC7, from the results that the gene methylation level of the glioma group is higher than that of the normal group. Increased methylation of XRCC5 and XRCC7 in blood samples of glioma patients and patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy suggests that blood-based methylation level of XRCC5 and XRCC7 could be a potential indicator for evaluating of the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for glioma patient. 相似文献

Cytological examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is used not only for the diagnosis of spinal disease, but also to assess the postoperative effect of treatment. We experienced a case of high-grade glioma in disseminated CSF, and retrospectively examined the clinical, pathological and cytological features. We further investigated radiation-induced DNA damage in glioma cells using phospho-Histone H2AX antibody. A five-year-old boy received a clinical diagnosis of optic nerve glioma, and was followed-up for three months after chemotherapy. Magnetic resonance imaging was repeated, revealing abnormalities in other brain areas. The pathological diagnosis was anaplastic astrocytoma. CSF dissemination was detected, and increases in the number and mitosis of tumor cells were observed in CSF cytology. After radiotherapy the tumor cells in CSF decreased markedly. On cytomorphologic and immunocytochemical evaluation post-irradiation, tumor cells showed vacuolation of both the nucleus and cytoplasm, degeneration of nuclear chromatin, and alteration of the phospho-Histone H2AX expression, compared with tumor cells before the irradiation. CSF cytology is an effective means of evaluating DNA damage in tumor cells after irradiation, and may be useful in assessing the therapeutic response. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to assess DNA repair capacity in lymphocytes of children with protein calorie malnutrition using the single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay. Repair capacity was assessed by estimating the relative decrease of DNA migration length 5, 15, 30, and 60 min after hydrogen peroxide treatment, in three groups of children: well-nourished (WN), well-nourished infected (WN-I), and malnourished infected (MN-I). In addition, the DNA migration length was evaluated in all groups before and after peroxide treatment. Comparison of mean migration lengths observed in WN and WN-I children showed significant differences at all times tested; between WN-I and MN-I differences were also observed, except after hydrogen peroxide exposure. This implies that lymphocytes of WN-I and MN-I children were equally sensitive to hydrogen peroxide. Nevertheless, the MN-I group clearly shows the greatest overall percentage of damaged cells at all times tested. In relation to repair capacity, at 5 min it was approximately 30% in both groups of well-nourished children, but only 20% in MN-I; 15 min after exposure, repair capacity increased to 51% in well-nourished children but only to 31% in MN-I; and at 60 min this capacity increased to 82% in well-nourished but only to 55% in MN-I. These data indicate that lymphocytes of malnourished children show a decreased capacity to repair hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage compared to that of well-nourished controls. This reflects that only malnutrition is associated with decreased DNA repair capacity. Additionally, the data confirm that severe infection and malnutrition are two factors clearly associated with increased DNA damage. 相似文献

Environmental DNA damaging agents continuously challenge the integrity of the genome by introducing a variety of DNA lesions. The DNA damage caused by environmental factors will lead to mutagenesis and subsequent carcinogenesis if they are not removed efficiently by repair pathways. Methods for detection of DNA damage and repair can be applied to identify, visualize, and quantify the DNA damage formation and repair events, and they enable us to illustrate the molecular mechanisms of DNA damage formation, DNA repair pathways, mutagenesis, and carcinogenesis. Ever since the discovery of the double helical structure of DNA in 1953, a great number of methods have been developed to detect various types of DNA damage and repair. Rapid advances in sequencing technologies have facilitated the emergence of a variety of novel methods for detecting environmentally induced DNA damage and repair at the genome-wide scale during the last decade. In this review, we provide a historical overview of the development of various damage detection methods. We also highlight the current methodologies to detect DNA damage and repair, especially some next generation sequencing-based methods. 相似文献

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a fatal demyelinating disorder of the CNS caused by infection of glial cells with the polyomavirus, JCV. Here we report that genomic stability and DNA repair are significantly dysregulated by JCV infection of human astrocytes. Metaphase spreads exhibited increased ploidy correlating with duration of infection. Increased micronuclei formation and phospho-Histone2AX expression also indicated DNA damage. Western blot analysis revealed perturbation in expression of some DNA repair proteins including a large elevation of Rad51. Immunohistochemistry on clinical samples of PML showed robust labeling for Rad51 in nuclei of bizarre astrocytes and inclusion body-bearing oligodendrocytes that are characteristic of JCV infection. Finally, in vitro end-joining DNA repair was altered in extracts prepared from JCV-infected human astrocytes. Alterations in DNA repair pathways may be important for the life cycle of JCV and the pathogenesis of PML. 相似文献

We assessed the response of mosquito (ATC-15) and mammalian (CHO) cells to bleomycin (BLM). Comparison of the data obtained in both cell lines indicates that DNA in the chromatin of mosquito cells is 10 to 20 times more resistant to BLM, and that the DNA damage induced by this antibiotic is better repaired in mosquito than in mammalian cells. Permeability of the cell membrane for BLM was found to be the same for both cell lines. Moreover, the time-kinetics of BLM damage to nuclear DNA was similar for ATC-15 and CHO cells. The low sensitivity of mosquito cells to BLM is reflected in better growth efficiency. These cells exhibit a satisfactory growth at BLM doses that produce a permanent arrest of growth in CHO cells. It is proposed that variations in the chromatin structure and in the intracellular free amino acid pool may play an important role in the differential response of insect and mammalian cells to BLM. 相似文献

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a respiratory disease that is linked to heart attacks and high blood pressure. In the present study, we used the Comet assay to compare basal DNA damage and DNA damage induction by hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, and gamma-irradiation in lymphocytes from 35 OSA patients and 35 controls. We also measured the apoptosis and necrosis produced by these agents and the ability of the lymphocytes to repair the induced DNA damage. It was found that lymphocytes isolated from OSA patients had higher basal levels of DNA damage and were more sensitive to the effects of the DNA-damaging agents than lymphocytes from controls. OSA patients also had a reduced capacity to repair the DNA damage induced by the three agents, but apoptosis and necrosis were similar in OSA patients and the controls. 相似文献

SIRT2 and SIRT3 protein deacetylases maintain genome integrity and stability. However, their mechanisms for maintaining the genome remain unclear. To examine the roles of SIRT2 and SIRT3 in DSB repair, I-SceI-based GFP reporter assays for HR, single-strand annealing (SSA) and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) repair were performed under SIRT2- or SIRT3-depleted conditions. SIRT2 or SIRT3 depletion inhibited HR repair equally to RAD52 depletion, but did not affect SSA and NHEJ repairs. SIRT2 or SIRT3 depletion disturbed the recruitment of RAD51 to DSB sites, an essential step for RAD51-dependent HR repair, but not directly through RAD52 deacetylation. SIRT2 or SIRT3 depletion decreased the colocalization of γH2AX foci with RPA1, and thus, they might be involved in initiating DSB end resection for the recruitment of RAD51 to DSB sites at an early step in HR repair. These results show the novel underlying mechanism of the SIRT2 and SIRT3 functions in HR for genome stability 相似文献

The major genotoxicity of methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) is due to the production of a lethal 3-methyladenine (3MeA) lesion.
An alkylation-specific base-excision repair pathway in yeast is initiated by a Mag1 3MeA DNA glycosylase that removes the
damaged base, followed by an Apn1 apurinic/ apyrimidinic endonuclease that cleaves the DNA strand at the abasic site for subsequent
repair. MMS is also regarded as a radiomimetic agent, since a number of DNA radiation-repair mutants are also sensitive to
MMS. To understand how these radiation-repair genes are involved in DNA methylation repair, we performed an epistatic analysis
by combining yeast mag1 and apn1 mutations with mutations involved in each of the RAD3, RAD6 and RAD52 groups. We found that cells carrying rad6, rad18, rad50 and rad52 single mutations are far more sensitive to killing by MMS than the mag1 mutant, that double mutants were much more sensitive than either of the corresponding single mutants, and that the effects
of the double mutants were either additive or synergistic, suggesting that post-replication and recombination-repair pathways
recognize either the same lesions as MAG1 and APN1, or else some differ- ent lesions produced by MMS treatment. Lesions handled
by recombination and post replication repair are not simply 3MeA, since over-expression of the MAG1 gene does not offset the loss of these pathways. Based on the above analyses, we discuss possible mechanisms for the repair
of methylation damage by various pathways.

The treatment of cells with simple DNA methylating agents such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) results in genotoxic lesions,
including 3-methyladenine which blocks DNA replication. All the organisms studied to date contain an alkylation-specific base
excision repair pathway. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the base excision repair pathway is initiated by a Mag1 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase that removes the damaged base, followed
by the Apn1 apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease which cleaves the DNA strand at the abasic site for subsequent repair and synthesis.
Several nucleotide excision repair pathway mutants display only slightly increased sensitivity to killing by MMS, indicating
that nucleotide excision repair per se does not play a major role in the repair of DNA methylation damage. However, mag1 and apn1 mutants that are also defective in nucleotide excision repair are extremely sensitive to MMS-induced killing and the effects
are synergistic. These observations suggest that nucleotide excision repair and alkylation-specific base excision repair provide
alternative pathways for the repair of DNA methylation damage. In addition to their role in nucleotide excision repair, Rad1
and Rad10 form a complex that is involved in recombination repair. It was found that the apn1 rad1 and apn1 rad10 double mutants have a growth defect and are significantly more sensitive to MMS killing than apn1 rad2 and apn1 rad4 double mutants in a gradient plate assay. Furthermore, the apn1 rad1 double mutant increased both the spontaneous and MMS-induced mutation frequency. Thus, the recombination repair defects of
rad1 and rad10 may confer an additional synergistic effect when combined with the apn1 mutation.

DNA damage and cellular repair capacity were studied in 18 male fuel tanker drivers and 13 male filling‐station attendants exposed to low and very low concentrations of benzene, respectively, and compared to 20 males with no occupational exposure (controls). Exposure to airborne benzene was measured using passive personal samplers, and internal doses were assayed through the biomarkers t,t‐muconic acid, S‐phenylmercapturic acid and urinary benzene. DNA damage was evaluated using tail intensity (TI) determined by the comet assay in peripheral lymphocytes. Urinary 7‐hydro‐8‐oxo‐2’‐deoxyguanosine (8‐oxodG) was measured as a biomarker of oxidative damage. DNA repair kinetics were assessed using the comet assay in lymphocytes sampled 20 and 60 min post H2O2 exposure. Benzene exposure differed significantly between the drivers (median 246.3 µg/m3), attendants (median 13.8 µg/m3), and controls (median 4.1 µg/m3). There were no differences in TI and 8‐oxodG among the three groups, or between smokers and non‐smokers. DNA repair kinetics were similar among the drivers, attendants and controls, although the comet assay on H2O2‐damaged lymphocytes after 60 min revealed significantly lower levels of TI only in drivers. The DNA repair process in smokers was similar to that observed in drivers. In conclusion, this study found no relationship between low levels of benzene exposure and DNA damage, although there was evidence that exposure interferes with DNA repair kinetics. The biological impact of this finding on the onset of genotoxic effects in exposed workers has still to be ascertained. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 57:151–158, 2016. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The growing incidence of melanoma is a serious public health issue that merits a thorough understanding of potential causative risk factors, which includes exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Though UVR has been classified as a complete carcinogen and has long been recognized for its ability to damage genomic DNA through both direct and indirect means, the precise mechanisms by which the UVA and UVB components of UVR contribute to the pathogenesis of melanoma have not been clearly defined. In this review, we therefore highlight recent studies that have addressed roles for UVA radiation in the generation of DNA damage and in modulating the subsequent cellular responses to DNA damage in melanocytes, which are the cell type that gives rise to melanoma. Recent research suggests that UVA not only contributes to the direct formation of DNA lesions but also impairs the removal of UV photoproducts from genomic DNA through oxidation and damage to DNA repair proteins. Moreover, the melanocyte microenvironment within the epidermis of the skin is also expected to impact melanomagenesis, and we therefore discuss several paracrine signaling pathways that have been shown to impact the DNA damage response in UV‐irradiated melanocytes. Lastly, we examine how alterations to the immune microenvironment by UVA‐associated DNA damage responses may contribute to melanoma development. Thus, there appear to be multiple avenues by which UVA may elevate the risk of melanoma. Protective strategies against excess exposure to UVA wavelengths of light therefore have the potential to decrease the incidence of melanoma. Environ. Mol.

The extent and persistence of DMA damage and repair were investigated in mouse spermatogenic cells exposed in vivo to urethane (ethyl carbamate, EC). Adult male mice exposed to [3H]EC at 10–1,000 mg/kg were sacrificed 12 hr later. EC/metabolite binding to liver and testicular DNA and to sperm heads from the vasa deferentia was measured. Other male mice were exposed to EC at 50–750 mg/kg, and unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) induction was investigated in early spermatid stages. Similar experiments were conducted with vinyl carbamate (VC; putative EC metabolite) at 10–75 mg/kg. [3H]EC bound to liver and testicular DNA and to whole sperm heads. Testicular DNA binding increased linearly with dose, although binding was at least 2 orders of magnitude lower than with liver DNA. Sperm head binding also increased linearly with dose. Dose response studies with the UDS assay showed that EC and VC induced a small but significant increase of the UDS response in early spermatid stages. However, the induced UDS responses were quite variable and did not consistently increase with the administered dose. To determine the time kinetics of UDS induction, [3H]dThd was injected at various times after treatment with 500 mg/kg of EC or 60 mg/kg of VC. A slight but significant UDS increase was observed 4 hr after treatment with EC but not with VC. Overall, these results suggest that EC metabolites bind to testis DNA and cause low-level DNA damage in mouse sper-matogenic cells. This type of DNA damage apparently does not have significant genetic consequences. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

This study set out to analyze biomarkers for genotoxic events, e.g., oxidative DNA damage, chromosomal damage and hprt mutations, among flight personnel, who are known to be occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation of cosmic origin. Twenty-three flight engineers were recruited while ground personnel served as a matched control group. Cumulative radiation doses during flight were calculated on the basis of subjects' flight records assuming an exposure rate of 6 μSv per hour of flight. Oxidative DNA damage in peripheral lymphocytes from flight engineers appeared significantly increased in comparison with controls and was associated with cumulative exposure to cosmic radiation. Frequencies of peripheral lymphocyte chromosome aberrations, micronuclei and hprt mutations appeared also to be increased in flight engineers, but not significantly. It was also observed that DNA damage was higher in flight engineers with a relatively shorter flight history in comparison with flight engineers with higher cumulative exposures to radiation, suggesting adaptation to DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation. DNA repair activities measured as unscheduled DNA synthesis were clearly increased in the higher-exposed subgroup of flight engineers, and appeared significantly correlated with cumulative radiation dose, as well as inversely with oxidative DNA damage. The implications for cancer risk assessment in relation to exposure to cosmic radiation are discussed. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 32:121–129, 1998 © Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most frequent type of cancer in humans. Exposure to UV radiation is a major risk factor for NMSC, and oxidative DNA damage, caused either by UV radiation itself or by other agents, may be involved in its induction. Increased sensitivity to oxidative damage and an altered DNA repair capacity (DRC) increase the risk of many types of cancer; however, sensitivity to oxidizing agents has not been evaluated for NMSC, and results regarding DRC in NMSC are inconclusive. In the present study, we evaluated DNA damage and repair in leukocytes from 41 NMSC patients and 45 controls. The Comet assay was used to measure basal and H(2)O(2)-induced DNA damage, as well as the DRC, while the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay was used to measure the basal level of chromosome damage. Although basal DNA damage was higher for the controls than for the patients, this finding was mainly due to sampling more controls in the summer, which was associated with longer comet tails. In contrast, H(2)O(2)-induced DNA damage was significantly higher in cases than in controls, and this parameter was not influenced by the season of the year. The DRC for the H(2)O(2)-induced damage was similar for cases and controls and unrelated to seasonality. Finally, the frequency of binucleated lymphocytes with micronuclei was similar for cases and controls. The results of this study indicate that NMSC patients are distinguished from controls by an increased sensitivity to oxidative DNA damage. 相似文献

Interindividual differences in DNA repair capacity (DRC) represent an important source of variability in genome integrity and thus influence health risk. In the last decade, DRC measurement has attracted attention as a potential biomarker in cancer prediction. Aim of the present exploratory study was to characterize the variability in DNA damage and DRC on 100 healthy individuals and to identify biological, lifestyle, or genetic factors modulating these parameters. The ultimate goal was to obtain reference data from cancer‐free population, which may constitute background for further investigations on cancer patients. The endogenous DNA damage was measured as a level of DNA single‐strand breaks and DRC, specific for nucleotide excision repair (NER), was evaluated using modified comet assay, following the challenge of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with benzo[a]pyrene diolepoxide. Additionally, genetic polymorphisms in NER genes (XPA, XPC, XPD, and XPG) were assessed. We have observed a substantial interindividual variability for both examined parameters. DNA damage was significantly affected by gender and alcohol consumption (P = 0.003 and P = 0.012, respectively), whereas DRC was associated with family history of cancer (P = 0.012). The stratification according to common variants in NER genes showed that DNA damage was significantly modulated by the presence of the variant T allele of XPC Ala499Val polymorphism (P = 0.01), while DRC was modulated by the presence of the A allele of XPA G23A polymorphism (P = 0.048). Our results indicate the range of endogenous DNA single‐strand breaks and capacity of NER in healthy volunteers as well as the role of potentially relevant confounders. Environ. Mol.
