Abstract
The circadian clock is a master regulator of mammalian physiology, regulating daily oscillations of crucial biological processes and behaviors. Notably, circadian disruption has recently been identified as an independent risk factor for cancer and classified as a carcinogen. As such, it is imperative to discern the underpinning mechanisms by which circadian disruption alters cancer risk. Emergent data, reviewed herein, demonstrate that circadian regulatory functions play critical roles in several hallmarks of cancer, including control of cell proliferation, cell death, DNA repair, and metabolic alteration. Developing a deeper understanding of circadian-cancer regulation cross-talk holds promise for developing new strategies for cancer interception, prevention, and management.

An array of basic residues is essential for the nucleolytic activity of the PHP domain of bacterial/archaeal PolX DNA polymerases. Sci Rep 2019; 9:9947. [PMID: 31289311 PMCID: PMC6616362 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-46349-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2019] [Accepted: 06/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Bacterial/archaeal family X DNA polymerases (PolXs) have a C-terminal PHP domain with an active site formed by nine histidines and aspartates that catalyzes 3′-5′ exonuclease, AP-endonuclease, 3′-phosphodiesterase and 3′-phosphatase activities. Multiple sequence alignments have allowed us to identify additional highly conserved residues along the PHP domain of bacterial/archaeal PolXs that form an electropositive path to the catalytic site and whose potential role in the nucleolytic activities had not been established. Here, site directed mutagenesis at the corresponding Bacillus subtilis PolX (PolXBs) residues, Arg469, Arg474, Asn498, Arg503 and Lys545, as well as to the highly conserved residue Phe440 gave rise to enzymes severely affected in all the nucleolytic activities of the enzyme while conserving a wild-type gap-filling activity, indicating a function of those residues in DNA binding at the PHP domain. Altogether, the results obtained with the mutant proteins, the spatial arrangement of those DNA binding residues, the intermolecular transference of the 3′-terminus between the PHP and polymerization active sites, and the available 3D structures of bacterial PolXs led us to propose the requirement to a great degree of a functional/structural flexibility to coordinate the synthetic and degradative activities in these enzymes.

Abstract
Background The quantity of metastases lesions is an important reference when it comes to making a more informed treatment decision for patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases. However, the molecular alterations in patients with different numbers of lesions have not been systematically studied. Methods We investigated somatic alterations and microsatellite instability (MSI) of liver metastases from patients with single, multiple or diffuse metastasis lesions. A new algorithm “Pathway Damage Score” was developed to comprehensively assess the functional impact of somatic alterations at the pathway level. Pathogenic pathways of different metastasis were identified and their prognosis effects were evaluated. Furthermore, the subnetworks and affected phenotypes of the altered genes in each pathogenic pathway were analyzed. Results Somatic alterations and altered genes occurred sporadically as well as in MSI state in different metastasis types, although MSS patients had more metastatic lesions than that of the MSI patients. Every metastasis group has their own pathogenic pathways and damaged “Cargo recognition for clathrin‐mediated endocytosis” is significantly associated with poor prognosis (P < 0.001). Further pathway subnetwork analysis showed that except conventional drivers, other genes could also contribute to metastasis formation. Conclusions Progression of liver metastasis could be driven by the coefficient of all altered genes belonging to the pathways. Thus, compared to somatic alterations and genes, pathway level analysis is more reasonable for functional interpretations of molecular alterations in clinical samples.

Abstract
Human apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease APE1 catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds on the 5′ side of an AP-site (in the base excision repair pathway) and of some damaged nucleotides (in the nucleotide incision repair pathway). The range of substrate specificity includes structurally unrelated damaged nucleotides. Here, to examine the mechanism of broad substrate specificity of APE1, we performed pulsed electron–electron double resonance (PELDOR) spectroscopy and pre-steady-state kinetic analysis with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) detection of DNA conformational changes during DNA binding and lesion recognition. Equilibrium PELDOR and kinetic FRET data revealed that DNA binding by APE1 leads to noticeable damage-dependent bending of a DNA duplex. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the damaged nucleotide is everted from the DNA helix and placed into the enzyme’s binding pocket, which is formed by Asn-174, Asn-212, Asn-229, Ala-230, Phe-266 and Trp-280. Nevertheless, no damage-specific contacts were detected between these amino acid residues in the active site of the enzyme and model damaged substrates containing 1,N6-ethenoadenosine, α-adenosine, 5,6-dihydrouridine or F-site. These data suggest that the substrate specificity of APE1 is controlled by the ability of a damaged nucleotide to flip out from the DNA duplex in response to an enzyme-induced DNA distortion.

Abstract
Increasing numbers of cancer patients survive and live longer than five years after therapy, but very often side effects of cancer treatment arise at same time. One of the side effects, chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI), also called "chemobrain" or "chemofog" by patients, brings enormous challenges to cancer survivors following successful chemotherapeutic treatment. Decreased abilities of learning, memory, attention, executive function and processing speed in cancer survivors with CICI, are some of the challenges that greatly impair survivors' quality of life. The molecular mechanisms of CICI involve very complicated processes, which have been the subject of investigation over the past decades. Many mechanistic candidates have been studied including disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), DNA damage, telomere shortening, oxidative stress and associated inflammatory response, gene polymorphism of neural repair, altered neurotransmission, and hormone changes. Oxidative stress is considered as a vital mechanism, since over 50% of FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS), which lead to neuronal death. In this review paper, we discuss these important candidate mechanisms, in particular oxidative stress and the cytokine, TNF-alpha and their potential roles in CICI.

Abstract
A uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsmUdgX) shares sequence similarity with family 4 UDGs and forms exceedingly stable complexes with single-stranded uracil-containing DNAs (ssDNA-Us) that are resistant to denaturants. However, MsmUdgX has been reported to be inactive in excising uracil from ssDNA-Us and the underlying structural basis is unclear. Here, we report high-resolution crystal structures of MsmUdgX in the free, uracil- and DNA-bound forms, respectively. The structural information, supported by mutational and biochemical analyses, indicates that the conserved residue His109 located on a characteristic loop forms an irreversible covalent linkage with the deoxyribose at the apyrimidinic site of ssDNA-U, thus rendering the enzyme unable to regenerate. By proposing the catalytic pathway and molecular mechanism for MsmUdgX, our studies provide an insight into family 4 UDGs and UDGs in general.

Abstract
Leishamaniasis is a neglected disease caused by over 20 Leishmania species, occurring in more than a hundred countries. Miltefosine (hexadecylphosphocholine) is the single oral drug used in treatment for leshmaniases, including cases of infections resistant to pentavalent antimony. Our group has recently demonstrated the ability of miltefosine to cause genomic lesions by DNA oxidation. Acknowledging that antioxidant compounds can potentially modulate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), our study verified whether ascorbic acid reduces the genotoxic and mutagenic effects caused by miltefosine, and whether it interferes with drug efficacy. For this purpose, uninfected Swiss mice received simultaneous (single dose treatment) miltefosine and ascorbic acid (gavage and intraperitoneally), besides pre and post treatments (ascorbic acid 24 h before and after drug administration); furthermore, Balb/c mice infected with Leishmania infantum received miltefosine plus ascorbic acid (repeated doses treatment). We conducted comet assays, micronucleus tests, dosages of superoxide dismutase enzyme and parasitic burden by the limiting dilution assay. We observed that ascorbic acid administered intraperitoneally displayed a protective effect over damage caused by miltefosine. However, this effect was not not observed when the same doses were administered via gavage, possibly due to low serum levels of this antioxidant. Ascorbic acid's protective effect reinforces that miltefosine damages DNA by oxidizing its nitrogenous bases, which is reduced by ascorbic acid due to its ability of protecting genetic material from the action of ROS. Therefore, our results show that this drug is efficient in reducing parasitic burden of L. infantum.

Abstract
Replicative DNA polymerases are frequently stalled at damaged template strands. Stalled replication forks are restored by the DNA damage tolerance (DDT) pathways, error-prone translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) to cope with excessive DNA damage, and error-free template switching (TS) by homologous DNA recombination. PDIP38 (Pol-delta interacting protein of 38 kDa), also called Pol δ-interacting protein 2 (PolDIP2), physically associates with TLS DNA polymerases, polymerase η (Polη), Polλ, and PrimPol, and activates them in vitro. It remains unclear whether PDIP38 promotes TLS in vivo, since no method allows for measuring individual TLS events in mammalian cells. We disrupted the PDIP38 gene, generating PDIP38-/- cells from the chicken DT40 and human TK6 B cell lines. These PDIP38-/- cells did not show a significant sensitivity to either UV or H2O2, a phenotype not seen in any TLS-polymerase-deficient DT40 or TK6 mutants. DT40 provides a unique opportunity of examining individual TLS and TS events by the nucleotide sequence analysis of the immunoglobulin variable (Ig V) gene as the cells continuously diversify Ig V by TLS (non-templated Ig V hypermutation) and TS (Ig gene conversion) during in vitro culture. PDIP38-/- cells showed a shift in Ig V diversification from TLS to TS. We measured the relative usage of TLS and TS in TK6 cells at a chemically synthesized UV damage (CPD) integrated into genomic DNA. The loss of PDIP38 also caused an increase in the relative usage of TS. The number of UV-induced sister chromatid exchanges, TS events associated with crossover, was increased a few times in PDIP38-/- human and chicken cells. Collectively, the loss of PDIP38 consistently causes a shift in DDT from TLS to TS without enhancing cellular sensitivity to DNA damage. We propose that PDIP38 controls the relative usage of TLS and TS increasing usage of TLS without changing the overall capability of DDT.

Abstract
The interpretation and significance of DNA adduct data, their causal relationship to mutations, and their role in risk assessment have been debated for many years. An extended effort to identify key questions and collect relevant data to address them was focused on the ubiquitous low MW N7-alkyl/hydroxyalkylguanine adducts. Several academic, governmental, and industrial laboratories collaborated to gather new data aimed at better understanding the role and potential impact of these adducts in quantifiable genotoxic events (gene mutations/micronucleus). This review summarizes and evaluates the status of dose-response data for DNA adducts and mutations from recent experimental work with standard mutagenic agents and ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, and the importance for risk assessment. This body of evidence demonstrates that small N7-alkyl/hydroxyalkylguanine adducts are not pro-mutagenic and, therefore, adduct formation alone is not adequate evidence to support a mutagenic mode of action. Quantitative methods for dose-response analysis and derivation of thresholds, benchmark dose (BMD), or other points-of-departure (POD) for genotoxic events are now available. Integration of such analyses of genetox data is necessary to properly assess any role for DNA adducts in risk assessment. Regulatory acceptance and application of these insights remain key challenges that only the regulatory community can address by applying the many learnings from recent research. The necessary tools, such as BMDs and PODs, and the example datasets, are now available and sufficiently mature for use by the regulatory community. Environ. Mol.

Abstract
This review discusses the generation of phagosomal cytotoxic reactive species by activated macrophages and neutrophils for the control of intracellular pathogens, and the mechanisms by which microbes combat host-derived oxidants via antioxidant networks that mitigate the redox-dependent control of infection. The generation of phagosomal cytotoxic reactive species (i.e., free radicals and oxidants) by activated macrophages and neutrophils is a crucial process for the control of intracellular pathogens. The chemical nature of these species, the reactions they are involved in, and the subsequent effects are multifaceted and depend on several host- and pathogen-derived factors that influence their production rates and catabolism inside the phagosome. Pathogens rely on an intricate and synergistic antioxidant armamentarium that ensures their own survival by detoxifying reactive species. In this review, we discuss the generation, kinetics, and toxicity of reactive species generated in phagocytes, with a focus on the response of macrophages to internalized pathogens and concentrating on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Trypanosoma cruzi as examples of bacterial and parasitic infection, respectively. The ability of pathogens to deal with host-derived reactive species largely depends on the competence of their antioxidant networks at the onset of invasion, which in turn can tilt the balance toward pathogen survival, proliferation, and virulence over redox-dependent control of infection.

Abstract
The hallmarks of cancer have been the focus of much research and have influenced the development of risk models for radiation-induced cancer. However, natural defenses against cancer, which constitute the hallmarks of cancer prevention, have largely been neglected in developing cancer risk models. These natural defenses are enhanced by low doses and dose rates of ionizing radiation, which has aided in the continuation of human life over many generations. Our natural defenses operate at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and whole-body levels and include epigenetically regulated (epiregulated) DNA damage repair and antioxidant production, selective p53-independent apoptosis of aberrant cells (e.g. neoplastically transformed and tumor cells), suppression of cancer-promoting inflammation, and anticancer immunity (both innate and adaptive components). This publication reviews the scientific bases for the indicated cancer-preventing natural defenses and evaluates their implication for assessing cancer risk after exposure to low radiation doses and dose rates. Based on the extensive radiobiological evidence reviewed, it is concluded that the linear-no-threshold (LNT) model (which ignores natural defenses against cancer), as it relates to cancer risk from ionizing radiation, is highly implausible. Plausible models include dose-threshold and hormetic models. More research is needed to establish when a given model (threshold, hormetic, or other) applies to a given low-dose-radiation exposure scenario.

Abstract
Most mammalian RNA polymerase II initiation events occur at CpG islands, which are rich in CpGs and devoid of DNA methylation. Despite their relevance for gene regulation, it is unknown to what extent the CpG dinucleotide itself actually contributes to promoter activity. To address this question, we determined the transcriptional activity of a large number of chromosomally integrated promoter constructs and monitored binding of transcription factors assumed to play a role in CpG island activity. This revealed that CpG density significantly improves motif-based prediction of transcription factor binding. Our experiments also show that high CpG density alone is insufficient for transcriptional activity, yet results in increased transcriptional output when combined with particular transcription factor motifs. However, this CpG contribution to promoter activity is independent of DNA methyltransferase activity. Together, this refines our understanding of mammalian promoter regulation as it shows that high CpG density within CpG islands directly contributes to an environment permissive for full transcriptional activity.

Genetic variants of the dUTPase-encoding gene DUT increase HR-HPV infection rate and cervical squamous cell carcinoma risk. Sci Rep 2019; 9:513.

Abstract
Deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) is involved in the repair and prevention of uracil misincorporations into DNA. Maintenance of DNA integrity is critical for cancer prevention. Many studies have identified susceptibility loci and genetic variants in cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to explore the distribution frequency of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the dUTPase-encoding gene DUT in a case-control study to identify the relationship between DUT genetic variants and cervical cancer susceptibility. Six DUT intronic SNPs (rs28381106, rs3784619, rs10851465, rs28381126, rs3784621 and rs11637235) were genotyped by mismatch amplification-PCR in 400 cervical squamous cell carcinomas (CSCCs), 400 precursor cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) III lesions and 1,200 normal controls. No correlations were found between four DUT SNPs (rs3784621, rs10851465, rs28381106 and rs28381126) and CIN III and CSCC risk. However, the homozygous GG allele of rs3784619 and TT allele of rs11637235 correlated significantly with increased risk of CIN III and CSCC (OR = 2.29, 2.05; OR = 3.15, 3.15, respectively). Individuals with the G allele or G carrier allele (AG + GG) at rs3784619 and with the T allele or T carrier allele (CT + TT) at rs11637235 were at higher risk for CIN III and CSCC (OR = 1.26, 1.30; OR = 1.41, 1.65, respectively). Similarly, in the human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive groups, we found that the homozygous GG alleles of rs3784619 and TT alleles of rs11637235 markedly increased the risk of CIN III and CSCC (OR = 2.44, 2.71; OR = 3.32, 4.04, respectively). When performing a stratified analysis of sexual and reproductive histories, we found that the GG genotype of rs3784619 had a particularly high level of enrichment in the group of patients with > one sexual partner in CIN III (P = 0.043) and CSCC (P = 0.007). Meanwhile, the TT genotype of rs11637235 was enriched for in the high risk HPV (HR-HPV)-positive cases of CIN III (P = 0.033) and CSCC (P = 0.022). Analysis of the haplotype between rs3784619 (A/G) and rs11637235 (C/T) revealed that the genotypes with AA-TT (OR = 2.59), AG-TT (OR = 2.29), GG-CC (OR = 2.72), GG-CT (OR = 3.01 (1.83–4.96)) were significantly associated with increased risk of CIN III. More notably, this risk was much greater for CSCC (AA-TT (OR = 3.62), AG-TT (OR = 5.08), GG-CC (OR = 5.28), and GG-CT (OR = 4.23). Additionally, most GG genotypes of rs3784619 were linkage GG-CT, while most TT genotypes of rs11637235 were linkage AA-TT. In conclusion, these findings suggested that the homozygous GG allele of rs3784619 and the TT allele of rs11637235 in the DUT gene significantly increased the risk of CIN III and CSCC. Most GG genotypes of rs3784619 and TT genotypes of rs11637235 were linkage GG-CT and AA-TT, respectively. The TT genotype of rs11637235 was enriched in the HR-HPV-positive cases. These two SNPs of the DUT gene can be early predictive biomarkers of CIN III and CSCC, and may be involved in HR HPV infection.

Abstract
Background and Aims: This study was aim to investigate the relationship between the four intron SNPs (rs3087404, rs2029167, rs2029166 and rs7296239) of SMUG1 and the susceptibility of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: Four SMUG1 intron SNPs (rs3087404, rs2029167, rs2029166 and rs7296239) were genotyped by MA-PCR in 400 CSCCs, 400 CIN III and 1200 controls. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the SMUG1 mRNA and protein expression. Results: Interestingly, we found that the homozygous GG of rs3087404 had a significantly increased risk of CIN III [OR=1.78(1.27-2.51), P= 0.001] and CSCCs [OR=4.04(2.94-5.55), P=0.000]. The individuals with G allele or G carrier (AG +GG) at rs3087404 were at higher risk for CSCCs [OR=1.34 (1.04-1.71), P= 0.022]. Similarly, the homozygous GG of rs2029167 also had an increased risk of CIN III [OR=2.56 (1.91-3.43), P= 0.000] and CSCCs [OR=4.05(3.02-5.44), P=0.000]. The individuals with G allele or G carrier (AG +GG) at rs2029167 were at higher risk for CINIII [OR=1.41(1.10-1.80), P= 0.006] and CSCCs [OR=1.91 (1.48-2.47), P= 0.000]. In HR-HPV positive group, both the homozygous GG of rs3087404 and the homozygous GG of rs2029167 had an increased risk to CIN III and CSCC. Stratified analysis of the number of sexual partners and the age of first sexual intercourse found that the rs3087404 (A/G) had a particularly high level of enrichment in the CIN III or CSCCs groups. About the rs2029167 (A/G), we only found a particularly high level of enrichment grouping by the number of sexual partners in the CIN III and CSCCs groups. Meanwhile, we also found that there is a correlation between the SNPs of SMUG1 rs3087404 (A/G) and rs2029167 (A/G) with tumor cell differentiation and family heredity. But we didn't find that there was an association between the deferent genotypes of SMUG1 rs2029166 and rs7296239 with SMUG1 gene mRNA or protein expression. During the linkage disequilibrium analysis between rs3087404 (A/G) and rs2029167 (A/G), the genotype with AA-GG [OR=3.14(1.95-5.05)], AG-GG [OR=2.45(1.58-3.89)], GG-AA [OR=2.24(1.28-3.90)] and GG-AG [OR=2.58(1.54-4.32)] significantly increased the risk of CIN III. More notably, this risk is much greater in CSCCs: AA-GG [OR=7.13(4.03-12.61)], AG-GG [OR=7.22(4.21-12.38)], GG-AA [OR=8.60(4.73-15.63)], GG-AG [OR=9.64(5.43-17.13)]. Additionally, most GG (rs3087404) genotypes were linkage GG-AG (44/77, 80/140) in the CIN III and CSCCs, while most GG (rs2029167) genotypes were linkage genotype AG-GG (79/145, 112/184) in the CIN III and CSCCs, respectively. Conclusions: These findings suggested that there was association between the two genetic polymorphisms of SMUG1 rs3087404(A/G) and rs2029167(A/G) with the susceptibility of CIN III and CSCCs, and there was a linkage disequilibrium between the rs3087404 with the rs2029167 in CIN III and CSCCs. This particular linkage disequilibrium can be used as predictive biomarkers of CIN III and CSCC.

Abstract
In humans, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) adopt unique responsive pathways counteracting with the DNA-damaging assaults to weigh the balance between the maintenance of normal stem cell poor for whole-life blood regeneration and the transformation to leukemia stem cells (LSCs) for leukemia initiation. LSCs also take actions of combating with the attack launched by externally therapeutic drugs that can kill most leukemic cells, to avoid extermination and promote disease relapse. Therefore, the collection of knowledge about all these underlined mechanisms would present a preponderance for later studies. In this chapter, the universal DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms were firstly introduced, and then DDR of HSCs were presented focusing on the DNA double-strand breaks in the quiescent state of HSCs, which poses a big advantage in promoting its transformation into preleukemic HSCs. Lastly, the DDR of LSCs were summarized based on the major outcomes triggered by different pathways in specific leukemia, upon which some aspects for future investigations were envisioned under our currently limited scope of knowledge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA is subject to constant chemical modification and damage, which eventually results in variable mutation rates throughout the genome. Although detailed molecular mechanisms of DNA damage and repair are well understood, damage impact and execution of repair across a genome remain poorly defined. RESULTS To bridge the gap between our understanding of DNA repair and mutation distributions, we developed a novel method, AP-seq, capable of mapping apurinic sites and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine bases at approximately 250-bp resolution on a genome-wide scale. We directly demonstrate that the accumulation rate of apurinic sites varies widely across the genome, with hot spots acquiring many times more damage than cold spots. Unlike single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in cancers, damage burden correlates with marks for open chromatin notably H3K9ac and H3K4me2. Apurinic sites and oxidative damage are also highly enriched in transposable elements and other repetitive sequences. In contrast, we observe a reduction at chromatin loop anchors with increased damage load towards inactive compartments. Less damage is found at promoters, exons, and termination sites, but not introns, in a seemingly transcription-independent but GC content-dependent manner. Leveraging cancer genomic data, we also find locally reduced SNV rates in promoters, coding sequence, and other functional elements. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals that oxidative DNA damage accumulation and repair differ strongly across the genome, but culminate in a previously unappreciated mechanism that safeguards the regulatory and coding regions of genes from mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA repair is essential to counteract damage to DNA induced by endo- and exogenous factors, to maintain genome stability. However, challenges to the faithful discrimination between damaged and non-damaged DNA strands do exist, such as mismatched pairs between two regular bases resulting from spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine or DNA polymerase errors during replication. To counteract these mutagenic threats to genome stability, cells evolved the mismatch-specific DNA glycosylases that can recognize and remove regular DNA bases in the mismatched DNA duplexes. The Escherichia coli adenine-DNA glycosylase (MutY/MicA) protects cells against oxidative stress-induced mutagenesis by removing adenine which is mispaired with 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) in the base excision repair pathway. However, MutY does not discriminate between template and newly synthesized DNA strands. Therefore the ability to remove A from 8oxoG•A mispair, which is generated via misincorporation of an 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate precursor during DNA replication and in which A is the template base, can induce A•T→C•G transversions. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that human MUTYH, homologous to the bacterial MutY, might be involved in the aberrant processing of ultraviolet (UV) induced DNA damage. METHODS Here, we investigated the role of MutY in UV-induced mutagenesis in E. coli. MutY was probed on DNA duplexes containing cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproduct (6-4PP). UV irradiation of E. coli induces Save Our Souls (SOS) response characterized by increased production of DNA repair enzymes and mutagenesis. To study the role of MutY in vivo, the mutation frequencies to rifampicin-resistant (RifR) after UV irradiation of wild type and mutant E. coli strains were measured. RESULTS We demonstrated that MutY does not excise Adenine when it is paired with CPD and 6-4PP adducts in duplex DNA. At the same time, MutY excises Adenine in A•G and A•8oxoG mispairs. Interestingly, E. coli mutY strains, which have elevated spontaneous mutation rate, exhibited low mutational induction after UV exposure as compared to MutY-proficient strains. However, sequence analysis of RifR mutants revealed that the frequencies of C→T transitions dramatically increased after UV irradiation in both MutY-proficient and -deficient E. coli strains. DISCUSSION These findings indicate that the bacterial MutY is not involved in the aberrant DNA repair of UV-induced DNA damage.

The aim of this case-control study was to clarify the relationship between uracil N-glycosylase (UNG) rs3219218 and rs246079 genotypes and risk of cervical squamous cell cancer (CSCC). Modified polymerase chain reaction-mismatch amplification (MA-PCR) was applied for genotyping UNG rs3219218 (A/G) and UNG rs246079 (A/G) polymorphisms in 400 CSCC, 400 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) III, and 1200 normal controls. We observed no association between the UNG rs3219218 (A/G) polymorphism and risk of CIN III or CSCC. However, risk of CIN III (odds ratio [OR] = 1.58) and CSCC (OR = 2.08) was significantly increased in cases with the homozygous GG genotype of UNG rs246079. At the UNG rs246079 (A/G) locus, individuals with the G allele or G carrier (GG + AG) genotype were at higher risk for CIN III (OR = 1.34) and CSCC (OR = 1.55). In the high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) positive group, homozygous GG of the UNG rs246079 genotype was associated with significantly increased risk of CSCC (OR = 2.37) and CIN III (OR = 1.81). Meanwhile, the proportion of G allele was significantly increased in CIN III (49.2%, OR = 1.33) and CSCC (52.5%, OR = 1.50) groups. G allele or G carrier (GG + AG) genotype was identified as a high-risk factor in CSCC (OR = 1.67) while in the CIN III group, no major differences were evident relative to the control group (OR = 1.45). A particularly high level of enrichment grouping was evident according to the number of sexual partners in the CIN III (P = .036) and CSCC (P = .001) groups. Our data clearly suggest an association between UNG rs246079 (A/G) and CSCC carcinogenesis, supporting the potential application of this polymorphism as a genetic biomarker for early prediction of cervical carcinoma.

Abstract
Unperturbed transcription of eukaryotic genes by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is crucial for proper cell function and tissue homeostasis. However, the DNA template of Pol II is continuously challenged by damaging agents that can result in transcription impediment. Stalling of Pol II on transcription-blocking lesions triggers a highly orchestrated cellular response to cope with these cytotoxic lesions. One of the first lines of defense is the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway that specifically removes transcription-blocking lesions thereby safeguarding unperturbed gene expression. In this perspective, we outline recent data on how lesion-stalled Pol II initiates TC-NER and we discuss new mechanistic insights in the TC-NER reaction, which have resulted in a better understanding of the causative-linked Cockayne syndrome and UV-sensitive syndrome. In addition to these direct effects on lesion-stalled Pol II (effects in cis), accumulating evidence shows that transcription, and particularly Pol II, is also affected in a genome-wide manner (effects in trans). We will summarize the diverse consequences of DNA damage on transcription, including transcription inhibition, induction of specific transcriptional programs and regulation of alternative splicing. Finally, we will discuss the function of these diverse cellular responses to transcription-blocking lesions and their consequences on the process of transcription restart. This resumption of transcription, which takes place either directly at the lesion or is reinitiated from the transcription start site, is crucial to maintain proper gene expression following removal of the DNA damage.

Abstract
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases play critical roles in the repair of abasic sites and strand breaks in DNA. Complete genome sequences of Helicobacter pylori reveal that this bacterial specie has a single AP endonuclease. An H. pylori homolog of Xth (HpXth) is a member of exonuclease III family, which is represented by Escherichia coli Xth. Currently, it remains unknown whether this single AP endonuclease has DNA repair activities similar to those of its counterpart in E. coli and other bacteria. We report that HpXth possesses efficient AP site cleavage, 3’-repair phosphodiesterase, and 3’-phosphatase activities but not the nucleotide incision repair function. Optimal reaction conditions for HpXth’s AP endonuclease activity are low ionic strength, high Mg2+ concentration, pH in the range 7–8, and temperature 30 °C. The kinetic parameters measured under steady-state conditions showed that HpXth removes the AP site, 3’-blocking sugar-phosphate, and 3’-terminal phosphate in DNA strand breaks with good efficiency (kcat/KM = 1240, 44, and 5,4 μM–1·min–1, respectively), similar to that of E. coli Xth. As expected, the presence of HpXth protein in AP endonuclease—deficient E. coli xth nfo strain significantly reduced the sensitivity to an alkylating agent and H2O2. Mutation of active site residue D144 in HpXth predicted to be essential for catalysis resulted in a complete loss of enzyme activities. Several important structural features of HpXth were uncovered by homology modeling and phylogenetic analysis. Our data show the DNA substrate specificity of H. pylori AP endonuclease and suggest that HpXth counteracts the genotoxic effects of DNA damage generated by endogenous and host-imposed factors.

Abstract
DNA polymerase β (Pol β) is essential for maintaining genomic integrity. During short-patch base excision repair (BER), Pol β incorporates a nucleotide into a single-gapped DNA substrate. Pol β may also function in long-patch BER, where the DNA substrate consists of larger gap sizes or 5'-modified downstream DNA. We have recently shown that Pol β fills small gaps in DNA during microhomology-mediated end-joining as part of a process that increases genomic diversity. Our previous results with single-nucleotide gapped DNA show that Pol β undergoes two pre-catalytic conformational changes upon binding to the correct nucleotide substrate. Here we use FRET to investigate nucleotide incorporation of Pol β with various DNA substrates. The results show that increasing the gap size influences the fingers closing step by increasing its reverse rate. However, the 5'-phosphate group has a more significant effect. The absence of the 5'-phosphate decreases the DNA binding affinity of Pol β and results in a conformationally more open binary complex. Moreover, upon addition of the correct nucleotide in the absence of 5'-phosphate, a slow fingers closing step is observed. Interestingly, either increasing the gap size or removing the 5'-phosphate group results in loss of the noncovalent step. Together, these results suggest that the character of the DNA substrate impacts the nature and rates of pre-catalytic conformational changes of Pol β. Our results also indicate that conformational changes are important for the fidelity of DNA synthesis by Pol β.

Abstract
Female fertility and offspring health are critically dependent on the maintenance of an adequate supply of high-quality oocytes. Like somatic cells, oocytes are subject to a variety of different types of DNA damage arising from endogenous cellular processes and exposure to exogenous genotoxic stressors. While the repair of intentionally induced DNA double strand breaks in gametes during meiotic recombination is well characterised, less is known about the ability of oocytes to repair pathological DNA damage and the relative contribution of DNA repair to oocyte quality is not well defined. This review will discuss emerging data suggesting that oocytes are in fact capable of efficient DNA repair and that DNA repair may be an important mechanism for ensuring female fertility, as well as the transmission of high-quality genetic material to subsequent generations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A variety of methods and measures have been used to quantify oxidative stress in clinical studies related to preterm birth (PTB), and studies have reported conflicting findings. No integrative reviews have been conducted. OBJECTIVE To describe specific molecules used as markers of oxidative stress and methods to measure these molecules and to review the literature for associations between oxidative stress and PTB specific to these molecules. METHOD Systematic literature searches were conducted in June 2015 and updated in 2017 in databases from the Biomedical Reference Collection: Basic Edition, including MEDLINE and clinicaltrials.gov . Articles were included if they described original research published after 2009 and compared PTB or preterm premature rupture of membranes with term birth (TB). RESULTS Abstracts ( n = 3,107) were reviewed for inclusion/exclusion criteria. Of these, 308 were full-text reviewed, and 30 articles were included in this review. All were identified as nonexperimental. The most common measurements of oxidative stress were quantification of total oxidant or antioxidant status or lipid peroxidation. Studies measuring reactive oxygen species or by-products of oxidative stress reported higher levels of these molecules for preterm specimens compared to TB specimens. Studies measuring antioxidants reported lower levels for these molecules in PTB specimens. Few of the studies had inconclusive findings. DISCUSSION Findings suggest that an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants may be associated with PTB. The measurements and findings to date limit interpretation and understanding. Research using multidimensional methods and multidisciplinary teams are necessary to advance research and practice.

Abstract
The SAGA coactivator complex and the nuclear pore–associated TREX-2 complex couple transcription with mRNA export. Evangelista et al. identify a novel interplay between TREX-2 and the deubiquitination module of SAGA that is necessary to maintain monoubiquitinated H2B levels required for efficient DNA repair through homologous recombination. DNA repair is critical to maintaining genome integrity, and its dysfunction can cause accumulation of unresolved damage that leads to genomic instability. The Spt–Ada–Gcn5 acetyltransferase (SAGA) coactivator complex and the nuclear pore–associated transcription and export complex 2 (TREX-2) couple transcription with mRNA export. In this study, we identify a novel interplay between human TREX-2 and the deubiquitination module (DUBm) of SAGA required for genome stability. We find that the scaffold subunit of TREX-2, GANP, positively regulates DNA repair through homologous recombination (HR). In contrast, DUBm adaptor subunits ENY2 and ATXNL3 are required to limit unscheduled HR. These opposite roles are achieved through monoubiquitinated histone H2B (H2Bub1). Interestingly, the activity of the DUBm of SAGA on H2Bub1 is dependent on the integrity of the TREX-2 complex. Thus, we describe the existence of a functional interaction between human TREX-2 and SAGA DUBm that is key to maintaining the H2B/HB2ub1 balance needed for efficient repair and HR.

Abstract
Synthetic lethality refers to a lethal phenotype that results from the simultaneous disruptions of two genes, while the disruption of either gene alone is viable. Many DNA double strand break repair (DSBR) genes have synthetic lethal relationships with oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, which can be exploited for targeted cancer therapy, an approach referred to as combination therapy. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most toxic lesions to a cell and can be repaired by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). HR and NHEJ genes are particularly attractive targets for cancer therapy because these genes have altered expression patterns in cancer cells when compared with normal cells and these genetic abnormalities can be targeted for selectively killing cancer cells. Here, we review recent advances in the development of small molecule inhibitors against HR and NHEJ genes to induce synthetic lethality and address the future directions and clinical relevance of this approach. © 2017 IUBMB Life, 69(12):929-937, 2017.

Abstract
Accumulation of senescent cells over time contributes to aging and age-related diseases. However, what drives senescence in vivo is not clear. Here we used a genetic approach to determine if spontaneous nuclear DNA damage is sufficient to initiate senescence in mammals. Ercc1-/∆ mice with reduced expression of ERCC1-XPF endonuclease have impaired capacity to repair the nuclear genome. Ercc1-/∆ mice accumulated spontaneous, oxidative DNA damage more rapidly than wild-type (WT) mice. As a consequence, senescent cells accumulated more rapidly in Ercc1-/∆ mice compared to repair-competent animals. However, the levels of DNA damage and senescent cells in Ercc1-/∆ mice never exceeded that observed in old WT mice. Surprisingly, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were increased in tissues of Ercc1-/∆ mice to an extent identical to naturally-aged WT mice. Increased enzymatic production of ROS and decreased antioxidants contributed to the elevation in oxidative stress in both Ercc1-/∆ and aged WT mice. Chronic treatment of Ercc1-/∆ mice with the mitochondrial-targeted radical scavenger XJB-5-131 attenuated oxidative DNA damage, senescence and age-related pathology. Our findings indicate that nuclear genotoxic stress arises, at least in part, due to mitochondrial-derived ROS, and this spontaneous DNA damage is sufficient to drive increased levels of ROS, cellular senescence, and the consequent age-related physiological decline.

Depressive disorders (DD) are known to be associated with increased DNA damage, the impairment of DNA damage repair, and the presence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA damage repair genes. Some indirect evidence also suggests that uracil metabolism may be disrupted in depressed patients. Therefore, the current study genotypes three SNPs localized in genes encoding uracil-processing proteins: two glycosylases, i.e., UNG g.7245G>C (rs34259), SMUG1 c.-31A>G (rs3087404), and dUTPase, i.e., DUT g.48638795G>T (rs4775748). The polymorphisms were analyzed in 585 DNA samples (282 cases and 303 controls) using TaqMan probes. The G/G genotype and G allele of UNG polymorphism decreased the risk of depression, while the G/C genotype and C allele of the same SNP increased it. It was also found that G/G carriers had their first episode significantly later than the heterozygotes. Although there was no association between the occurrence of depression and the SMUG1 SNP, a significant difference was found between the homozygotes regarding the onset of DD. In conclusion, the SNPs localized in the uracil-processing genes may modulate the occurrence and the onset of depression, which further supports the hypothesis that impairment of DNA damage repair, especially base-excision repair, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

OGG1-initiated base excision repair exacerbates oxidative stress-induced parthanatos. Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:628.

Abstract
Oxidative stress-induced DNA damage has been well acknowledged as a major cause leading to cell death, which is etiologically linked to ischemic injury and degenerative alterations. The most common oxidation product of DNA is base lesion 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), which is repaired by 8-oxoG glycosylase1 (OGG1)-initiated baseexcision repair (BER) pathway (OGG1-BER); however, the role of OGG1-BER in oxidative stress-induced cell death is poorly investigated. DNA strand breaks and apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are effective substrates to activate DNA damage sensor poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1). Overactivation of PARP1 is associated with apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF)-mediated and caspase-independent cell death (parthanatos). We hypothesized that after an excessive oxidative insult, OGG1-BER-generated strand breaks result in hyperactivation of PARP1 and consequently cell death. To test, wild type, knockout, siRNA-depleted MEFs and neuroblastoma cells, or those expressing repair-deficient OGG1 mutants were oxidatively stressed and the role of OGG1 was examined. Results showed that OGG1-BER further increases the levels of ROS-induced DNA damage by generating repair intermediates, leading to PARP1 overactivation and cell death. Cells lacking or expressing repair-deficient OGG1 showed lower levels of DNA strand lesions, PARP1 activation, and nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor, resulting in the increased resistance to ROS-induced parthanatos. These results suggested that OGG1 guards genome integrity through either lesion repair or elimination of cells with malignant potential, to maintain the homeostasis of the host, which might depend on the magnitude of guanine oxidation.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA is frequently exposed to oxidative damage, as compared to nuclear DNA. Previously, we have shown that while microhomology-mediated end joining can account for DNA deletions in mitochondria, classical nonhomologous DNA end joining, the predominant double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway in nucleus, is undetectable. In the present study, we investigated the presence of homologous recombination (HR) in mitochondria to maintain its genomic integrity. Biochemical studies revealed that HR-mediated repair of DSBs is more efficient in the mitochondria of testes as compared to that of brain, kidney and spleen. Interestingly, a significant increase in the efficiency of HR was observed when a DSB was introduced. Analyses of the clones suggest that most of the recombinants were generated through reciprocal exchange, while ~ 30% of recombinants were due to gene conversion in testicular extracts. Colocalization and immunoblotting studies showed the presence of RAD51 and MRN complex proteins in the mitochondria and immunodepletion of MRE11, RAD51 or NIBRIN suppressed the HR-mediated repair. Thus, our results reveal importance of homologous recombination in the maintenance of mitochondrial genome stability.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs), also known as molecular chaperones, participate in important cellular processes, such as protein aggregation, disaggregation, folding, and unfolding. HSPs have cytoprotective functions that are commonly explained by their antiapoptotic role. Their involvement in anticancer drug resistance has been the focus of intense research efforts, and the relationship between HSP induction and DNA repair mechanisms has been in the spotlight during the past decades. Because DNA is permanently subject to damage, many DNA repair pathways are involved in the recognition and removal of a diverse array of DNA lesions. Hence, DNA repair mechanisms are key to maintain genome stability. In addition, the interactome network of HSPs with DNA repair proteins has become an exciting research field and so their use as emerging targets for cancer therapy. This article provides a historical overview of the participation of HSPs in DNA repair mechanisms as part of their molecular chaperone capabilities.

The role of the N-terminal domain of human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1, APE1, in DNA glycosylase stimulation. DNA Repair (Amst) 2018; 64:10-25.

Abstract
The base excision repair (BER) pathway consists of sequential action of DNA glycosylase and apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease necessary to remove a damaged base and generate a single-strand break in duplex DNA. Human multifunctional AP endonuclease 1 (APE1, a.k.a. APEX1, HAP-1, or Ref-1) plays essential roles in BER by acting downstream of DNA glycosylases to incise a DNA duplex at AP sites and remove 3'-blocking sugar moieties at DNA strand breaks. Human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1), methyl-CpG-binding domain 4 (MBD4, a.k.a. MED1), and alkyl-N-purine-DNA glycosylase (ANPG, a.k.a. Aag or MPG) excise a variety of damaged bases from DNA. Here we demonstrated that the redox-deficient truncated APE1 protein lacking the first N-terminal 61 amino acid residues (APE1-NΔ61) cannot stimulate DNA glycosylase activities of OGG1, MBD4, and ANPG on duplex DNA substrates. Electron microscopy imaging of APE1-DNA complexes revealed oligomerization of APE1 along the DNA duplex and APE1-mediated DNA bridging followed by DNA aggregation. APE1 polymerizes on both undamaged and damaged DNA in cooperative mode. Association of APE1 with undamaged DNA may enable scanning for damage; however, this event reduces effective concentration of the enzyme and subsequently decreases APE1-catalyzed cleavage rates on long DNA substrates. We propose that APE1 oligomers on DNA induce helix distortions thereby enhancing molecular recognition of DNA lesions by DNA glycosylases via a conformational proofreading/selection mechanism. Thus, APE1-mediated structural deformations of the DNA helix stabilize the enzyme-substrate complex and promote dissociation of human DNA glycosylases from the AP site with a subsequent increase in their turnover rate. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The major human apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, APE1, stimulates DNA glycosylases by increasing their turnover rate on duplex DNA substrates. At present, the mechanism of the stimulation remains unclear. We report that the redox domain of APE1 is necessary for the active mode of stimulation of DNA glycosylases. Electron microscopy revealed that full-length APE1 oligomerizes on DNA possibly via cooperative binding to DNA. Consequently, APE1 shows DNA length dependence with preferential repair of short DNA duplexes. We propose that APE1-catalyzed oligomerization along DNA induces helix distortions, which in turn enable conformational selection and stimulation of DNA glycosylases. This new biochemical property of APE1 sheds light on the mechanism of redox function and its role in DNA repair.

Abstract
We developed a versatile DNA assay and framework for monitoring polymerization of DNA in real time and at the single-molecule level. The assay consists of an acceptor labelled DNA primer annealed to a DNA template that is labelled on its single stranded, downstream overhang with a donor fluorophore. Upon extension of the primer using a DNA polymerase, the overhang of the template alters its conformation from a random coil to the canonical structure of double stranded DNA. This conformational change increases the distance between the donor and the acceptor fluorophore and can be detected as a decrease in the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency between both fluorophores. Remarkably, the DNA assay does not require any modification of the DNA polymerase and albeit the simple and robust spectroscopic readout facilitates measurements even with conventional fluorimeters or stopped-flow equipment, single-molecule FRET provides additional access to parameters such as the processivity of DNA synthesis and, for one of the three DNA polymerases tested, the detection of binding and dissociation of the DNA polymerase to DNA. We furthermore demonstrate that primer extensions by a single base can be resolved.

Abstract
Here, we present two approaches to map DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and single-strand breaks (SSBs) in the genome of human cells. We named these methods respectively DSB-Seq and SSB-Seq. We tested the DSB and SSB-Seq in HCT1116, human colon cancer cells, and validated the results using the topoisomerase 2 (Top2)-poisoning agent etoposide (ETO). These methods are powerful tools for the direct detection of the physiological and pathological "breakome" of the DNA in human cells.

Abstract
Interstrand cross-links are exceptionally bioactive DNA lesions. Endogenous generation of interstrand cross-links in genomic DNA may contribute to aging, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Abasic (Ap) sites are common lesions in genomic DNA that readily undergo spontaneous and amine-catalyzed strand cleavage reactions that generate a 2,3-didehydro-2,3-dideoxyribose sugar remnant (3’ddR5p) at the 3’-terminus of the strand break. Interestingly, this strand scission process leaves an electrophilic α,β-unsaturated aldehyde residue embedded within the resulting nicked duplex. Here we present evidence that 3’ddR5p derivatives generated by spermine-catalyzed strand cleavage at Ap sites in duplex DNA can react with adenine residues on the opposing strand to generate a complex lesion consisting of an interstrand cross-link adjacent to a strand break. The cross-link blocks DNA replication by ϕ29 DNA polymerase, a highly processive polymerase enzyme that couples synthesis with strand displacement. This suggests that 3’ddR5p-derived cross-links have the potential to block critical cellular DNA transactions that require strand separation. LC-MS/MS methods developed herein provide powerful tools for studying the occurrence and properties of these cross-links in biochemical and biological systems.

Abstract
Synthetic analogs of natural nucleotides have long been utilized for structural studies of canonical and noncanonical nucleic acids, including the extensively investigated polymorphic G-quadruplexes (GQs). Dependence on the sequence and nucleotide modifications of the folding landscape of GQs has been reviewed by several recent studies. Here, an overview is compiled on the thermodynamic stability of the modified GQ folds and on how the stereochemical preferences of more than 70 synthetic and natural derivatives of nucleotides substituting for natural ones determine the stability as well as the conformation. Groups of nucleotide analogs only stabilize or only destabilize the GQ, while the majority of analogs alter the GQ stability in both ways. This depends on the preferred syn or anti N-glycosidic linkage of the modified building blocks, the position of substitution, and the folding architecture of the native GQ. Natural base lesions and epigenetic modifications of GQs explored so far also stabilize or destabilize the GQ assemblies. Learning the effect of synthetic nucleotide analogs on the stability of GQs can assist in engineering a required stable GQ topology, and exploring the in vitro action of the single and clustered natural base damage on GQ architectures may provide indications for the cellular events.

Abstract
DNA polymerases synthesize new DNA during DNA replication and repair, and their ability to do so faithfully is essential to maintaining genomic integrity. DNA polymerase β (Pol β) functions in base excision repair to fill in single-nucleotide gaps, and variants of Pol β have been associated with cancer. Specifically, the E288K Pol β variant has been found in colon tumors and has been shown to display sequence-specific mutator activity. To probe the mechanism that may underlie E288K's loss of fidelity, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer system that utilizes a fluorophore on the fingers domain of Pol β and a quencher on the DNA substrate was employed. Our results show that E288K utilizes an overall mechanism similar to that of wild type (WT) Pol β when incorporating correct dNTP. However, when inserting the correct dNTP, E288K exhibits a faster rate of closing of the fingers domain combined with a slower rate of nucleotide release compared to those of WT Pol β. We also detect enzyme closure upon mixing with the incorrect dNTP for E288K but not WT Pol β. Taken together, our results suggest that E288K Pol β incorporates all dNTPs more readily than WT because of an inherent defect that results in rapid isomerization of dNTPs within its active site. Structural modeling implies that this inherent defect is due to interaction of E288K with DNA, resulting in a stable closed enzyme structure.

Abstract
Pre-clinical and clinical data produce mounting evidence that the microbiota is strongly associated with colorectal carcinogenesis. Dysbiosis may change the course of carcinogenesis as microbial actions seem to impact genetic and epigenetic alterations leading to dysplasia, clonal expansion and malignant transformation. Initiation and promotion of colorectal cancer may result from direct bacterial actions, bacterial metabolites and inflammatory pathways. Newer aspects of microbiota and colorectal cancer include quorum sensing, biofilm formation, sidedness and effects/countereffects of microbiota and probiotics on chemotherapy. In the future, targeting the microbiota will probably be a powerful weapon in the battle against CRC as gut microbiology, genomics and metabolomics promise to uncover important linkages between microbiota and intestinal health.

Abstract
Like in most other areas of cellular metabolism, the functions of the ubiquitin-like modifier SUMO in the maintenance of genome stability are manifold and varied. Perturbations of global sumoylation causes a wide spectrum of phenotypes associated with defects in DNA maintenance, such as hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, gross chromosomal rearrangements and loss of entire chromosomes. Consistent with these observations, many key factors involved in various DNA repair pathways have been identified as SUMO substrates. However, establishing a functional connection between a given SUMO target, the cognate SUMO ligase and a relevant phenotype has remained a challenge, mainly because of the difficulties involved in identifying important modification sites and downstream effectors that specifically recognize the target in its sumoylated state. This review will give an overview over the major pathways of DNA repair and genome maintenance influenced by the SUMO system and discuss selected examples of SUMO's actions in these pathways where the biological consequences of the modification have been elucidated.

Galick HA, Marsden CG, Kathe S, Dragon JA, Volk L, Nemec AA, Wallace SS, Prakash A, Doublié S, Sweasy JB. The NEIL1 G83D germline DNA glycosylase variant induces genomic instability and cellular transformation. Oncotarget 2017; 8:85883-85895. [PMID: 29156764 PMCID: PMC5689654 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.20716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2017] [Accepted: 08/04/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is a key genome maintenance pathway. The NEIL1 DNA glycosylase recognizes oxidized bases, and likely removes damage in advance of the replication fork. The rs5745906 SNP of the NEIL1 gene is a rare human germline variant that encodes the NEIL1 G83D protein, which is devoid of DNA glycosylase activity. Here we show that expression of G83D NEIL1 in MCF10A immortalized but non-transformed mammary epithelial cells leads to replication fork stress. Upon treatment with hydrogen peroxide, we observe increased levels of stalled replication forks in cells expressing G83D NEIL1 versus cells expressing the wild-type (WT) protein. Double-strand breaks (DSBs) arise in G83D-expressing cells during the S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle. Interestingly, these breaks result in genomic instability in the form of high levels of chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei. Cells expressing G83D also grow in an anchorage independent manner, suggesting that the genomic instability results in a carcinogenic phenotype. Our results are consistent with the idea that an inability to remove oxidative damage in an efficient manner at the replication fork leads to genomic instability and mutagenesis. We suggest that individuals who harbor the G83D NEIL1 variant face an increased risk for human cancer.

Mol Genet Metab 2017; 122:43-50. [PMID: 28774709 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2017.07.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2017] [Revised: 07/24/2017] [Accepted: 07/24/2017] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of propionic acidemia (PA), a life threatening disease caused by the deficiency of propionyl CoA-carboxylase, in the catabolic pathway of branched-chain amino acids, odd-number chain fatty acids and cholesterol. Patients develop multisystemic complications including seizures, extrapyramidal symptoms, basal ganglia deterioration, pancreatitis and cardiomyopathy. The accumulation of toxic metabolites results in mitochondrial dysfunction, increased reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage, all of which have been documented in patients' samples and in a hypomorphic mouse model. Here we set out to investigate whether treatment with a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, MitoQ, or with the natural polyphenol resveratrol, which is reported to have antioxidant and mitochondrial activation properties, could ameliorate the altered redox status and its functional consequences in the PA mouse model. The results show that oral treatment with MitoQ or resveratrol decreases lipid peroxidation and the expression levels of DNA repair enzyme OGG1 in PA mouse liver, as well as inducing tissue-specific changes in the expression of antioxidant enzymes. Notably, treatment decreased the cardiac hypertrophy marker BNP that is found upregulated in the PA mouse heart. Overall, the results provide in vivo evidence to justify more in depth investigations of antioxidants as adjuvant therapy in PA.

Ape1 guides DNA repair pathway choice that is associated with drug tolerance in glioblastoma. Sci Rep 2017; 7:9674. [PMID: 28852018 PMCID: PMC5574897 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-10013-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2017] [Accepted: 08/02/2017] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Ape1 is the major apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease activity in mammalian cells, and a key factor in base-excision repair of DNA. High expression or aberrant subcellular distribution of Ape1 has been detected in many cancer types, correlated with drug response, tumor prognosis, or patient survival. Here we present evidence that Ape1 facilitates BRCA1-mediated homologous recombination repair (HR), while counteracting error-prone non-homologous end joining of DNA double-strand breaks. Furthermore, Ape1, coordinated with checkpoint kinase Chk2, regulates drug response of glioblastoma cells. Suppression of Ape1/Chk2 signaling in glioblastoma cells facilitates alternative means of damage site recruitment of HR proteins as part of a genomic defense system. Through targeting "HR-addicted" temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma cells via a chemical inhibitor of Rad51, we demonstrated that targeting HR is a promising strategy for glioblastoma therapy. Our study uncovers a critical role for Ape1 in DNA repair pathway choice, and provides a mechanistic understanding of DNA repair-supported chemoresistance in glioblastoma cells.

A missense MT-ND5 mutation in differentiated Parkinson Disease cytoplasmic hybrid induces ROS-dependent DNA Damage Response amplified by DROSHA. Sci Rep 2017; 7:9528.

Abstract
Genome integrity is continuously threatened by endogenous sources of DNA damage including reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by cell metabolism. Factors of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery have been recently involved in the cellular response to DNA damage (DDR) in proliferating cells. To investigate the impact of component of RNAi machinery on DDR activation in terminally differentiated cells, we exploited cytoplasmic hybrid (cybrid) cell lines in which mitochondria of sporadic Parkinson’s disease patients repopulate neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y-Rho(0) cells. Upon differentiation into dopaminergic neuron-like cells, PD63 cybrid showed increased intracellular level of ROS and chronic DDR activation, compared to other cybrids with the same nuclear background. Importantly, DDR activation in these cells can be prevented by ROS scavenging treatment suggesting that ROS production is indeed causative of nuclear DNA damage. Sequence analysis of the mitogenomes identified a rare and heteroplasmic missense mutation affecting a highly conserved residue of the ND5-subunit of respiratory complex I, which accounts for ROS increase. We demonstrated that the assembly of nuclear DDR foci elicited by oxidative stress in these cells relies on DROSHA, providing the first evidence that components of RNAi machinery play a crucial role also in the mounting of ROS-induced DDR in non-replicating neuronal cells.

Abstract
APOBECs (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like) are a family of cytidine deaminases that prefer single-stranded nucleic acids as substrates. Besides their physiological functions, APOBEC family members have been found to cause hypermutations of cancer genomes, which could be correlated with cancer development and poor prognosis. Recently, APOBEC family members have been combined with the versatile CRISPR/Cas9 system to perform targeted base editing or induce hypermutagenesis. This combination improved the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing at single-base precision, greatly enhancing its usefulness. Here, we review the physiological functions and structural characteristics of APOBEC family members and their roles as endogenous mutators that contribute to hypermutations during carcinogenesis. We also review the various iterations of the APOBEC-CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tools, pointing out their features and limitations as well as the possibilities for future developments.

Abstract
This study investigated poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) activation in cultured human lens epithelial cells exposed to two levels of UVB light (312 nm peak wavelength), 0.014 and 0.14 J cm-2 ("low" and "high" dose, respectively). At the low dose, PARP-1 and poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymers acted to repair DNA strand breaks rapidly with no subsequent major effects on either cell morphology or viability. However, following the high UVB dose, there was a dramatic second phase of PARP-1 activation, 90 min later, which included a sudden reappearance of DNA strand breaks, bursts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation within both the mitochondria and nucleus, a translocation of PAR from the nucleus to the mitochondria and an ultimate 70% loss of cell viability occurring after 24 h. The results provide evidence for an important role for PARP-1 in protecting the human lens epithelium against low levels of UVB light, and possibly participating in the triggering of cell death following exposure to toxic levels of radiation.
