Sugawara N, Towne MJ, Lovett ST, Haber JE. Spontaneous and double-strand break repair-associated quasipalindrome and frameshift mutagenesis in budding yeast: role of mismatch repair. Genetics 2024; 227:iyae068. [PMID: 38691577 DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyae068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Although gene conversion (GC) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most error-free way to repair double-strand breaks (DSBs), the mutation rate during homologous recombination is 1,000 times greater than during replication. Many mutations involve dissociating a partially copied strand from its repair template and re-aligning with the same or another template, leading to -1 frameshifts in homonucleotide runs, quasipalindrome (QP)-associated mutations and microhomology-mediated interchromosomal template switches. We studied GC induced by HO endonuclease cleavage at MATα, repaired by an HMR::KI-URA3 donor. We inserted into HMR::KI-URA3 an 18-bp inverted repeat where one arm had a 4-bp insertion. Most GCs yield MAT::KI-ura3::QP + 4 (Ura-) outcomes, but template-switching produces Ura+ colonies, losing the 4-bp insertion. If the QP arm without the insertion is first encountered by repair DNA polymerase and is then (mis)used as a template, the palindrome is perfected. When the QP + 4 arm is encountered first, Ura+ derivatives only occur after second-end capture and second-strand synthesis. QP + 4 mutations are suppressed by mismatch repair (MMR) proteins Msh2, Msh3, and Mlh1, but not Msh6. Deleting Rdh54 significantly reduces QP mutations only when events creating Ura+ occur in the context of a D-loop but not during second-strand synthesis. A similar bias is found with a proofreading-defective DNA polymerase mutation (poI3-01). DSB-induced mutations differed in several genetic requirements from spontaneous events. We also created a + 1 frameshift in the donor, expanding a run of 4 Cs to 5 Cs. Again, Ura+ recombinants markedly increased by disabling MMR, suggesting that MMR acts during GC but favors the unbroken, template strand.

Abstract
The majority of self-assembled fluorescent dyes suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), which detrimentally affects their diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness. While aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active dyes offer a promising solution to overcome this limitation, they may face significant challenges as the intracellular environment often prevents aggregation, leading to disassembly and posing challenges for AIE fluorogens. Recent progress in signal amplification through the disassembly of ACQ dyes has opened new avenues for creating ultrasensitive optical sensors and enhancing phototherapeutic outcomes. These advances are well-aligned with cutting-edge technologies such as single-molecule microscopy and targeted molecular therapies. This work explores the concept of disaggregation-induced emission (DIE), showcasing the revolutionary capabilities of DIE-based dyes from their design to their application in sensing, bioimaging, disease monitoring, and treatment in both cellular and animal models. Our objective is to provide an in-depth comparison of aggregation versus disaggregation mechanisms, aiming to stimulate further advancements in the design and utilization of ACQ fluorescent dyes through DIE technology. This initiative is poised to catalyze scientific progress across a broad spectrum of disciplines.

Abstract
Damages of various origin accumulated in the genomic DNA can lead to the breach of genome stability, and are considered to be one of the main factors involved in cellular senescence. DNA repair systems in mammalian cells ensure effective damage removal and repair of the genome structure, therefore, activity of these systems is expected to be correlated with high maximum lifespan observed in the long-lived mammals. This review discusses current results of the studies focused on determination of the DNA repair system activity and investigation of the properties of its key regulatory proteins in the cells of long-lived rodents and bats. Based on the works discussed in the review, it could be concluded that the long-lived rodents and bats in general demonstrate high efficiency in functioning and regulation of DNA repair systems. Nevertheless, a number of questions around the study of DNA repair in the cells of long-lived rodents and bats remain poorly understood, answers to which could open up new avenues for further research.

Abstract
Single-cell analysis in living humans is essential for understanding disease mechanisms, but it is impractical in non-regenerative organs, such as the eye and brain, because tissue biopsies would cause serious damage. We resolve this problem by integrating proteomics of liquid biopsies with single-cell transcriptomics from all known ocular cell types to trace the cellular origin of 5,953 proteins detected in the aqueous humor. We identified hundreds of cell-specific protein markers, including for individual retinal cell types. Surprisingly, our results reveal that retinal degeneration occurs in Parkinson's disease, and the cells driving diabetic retinopathy switch with disease stage. Finally, we developed artificial intelligence (AI) models to assess individual cellular aging and found that many eye diseases not associated with chronological age undergo accelerated molecular aging of disease-specific cell types. Our approach, which can be applied to other organ systems, has the potential to transform molecular diagnostics and prognostics while uncovering new cellular disease and aging mechanisms.

Abstract
Aging accompanied by several age-related complications, is a multifaceted inevitable biological progression involving various genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The major factor in this process is oxidative stress, caused by an abundance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ROS and RNS pose a threat by disrupting signaling mechanisms and causing oxidative damage to cellular components. This oxidative stress affects both the ER and mitochondria, causing proteopathies (abnormal protein aggregation), initiation of unfolded protein response, mitochondrial dysfunction, abnormal cellular senescence, ultimately leading to inflammaging (chronic inflammation associated with aging) and, in rare cases, metastasis. RONS during oxidative stress dysregulate multiple metabolic pathways like NF-κB, MAPK, Nrf-2/Keap-1/ARE and PI3K/Akt which may lead to inappropriate cell death through apoptosis and necrosis. Inflammaging contributes to the development of inflammatory and degenerative diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and retinopathy. The body's antioxidant systems, sirtuins, autophagy, apoptosis, and biogenesis play a role in maintaining homeostasis, but they have limitations and cannot achieve an ideal state of balance. Certain interventions, such as calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, dietary habits, and regular exercise, have shown beneficial effects in counteracting the aging process. In addition, interventions like senotherapy (targeting senescent cells) and sirtuin-activating compounds (STACs) enhance autophagy and apoptosis for efficient removal of damaged oxidative products and organelles. Further, STACs enhance biogenesis for the regeneration of required organelles to maintain homeostasis. This review article explores the various aspects of oxidative damage, the associated complications, and potential strategies to mitigate these effects.

The impact of female BMI on sperm DNA damage repair ability of oocytes and early embryonic development potential in intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1168010. [PMID: 37780615 PMCID: PMC10534975 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1168010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Obesity adversely influences the quality of oocytes and embryos and can affect DNA repair in embryos, leading to reproductive issues. However, the effects of body mass index (BMI) on DNA repair ability in oocytes during intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles have not yet been investigated. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to analyze the influence of sperm DNA damage on embryo development and reproductive outcomes in overweight/obese and normal-weight women in ICSI cycles. Methods A total of 1,141 patients who received the first fresh ICSI cycle treatments were recruited from July 2017 to July 2021. Based on the BMI of the women, all patients were divided into normal weight (18.5≤BMI<25 kg/m2; n=824; 72.22%) and overweight/obese (BMI≥25 kg/m2; n=317; 27.78%) groups. Furthermore, according to the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), these two groups were subdivided into two subgroups: DFI<30% and DFI≥30%. Results In the normal-weight women group, the embryonic development and reproductive outcomes of ICSI cycles were not statistically different between the two subgroups (DFI<30% and DFI≥30%). However, in the overweight/obese women group, couples with a sperm DFI≥30% had a significantly lower fertilization rate (76% vs. 72.7%; p=0.027), cleavage rate (98.7% vs. 97.2%; p=0.006), and high-quality embryo rate (67.8% vs. 62.6%; p=0.006) than couples with a sperm DFI<30%. Conclusion When injected sperm with high DFI into the oocytes of overweight/obese women, resulting in lower fertilization, cleavage, and high-quality embryo rates in ICSI cycles, and the decreased early developmental potential of embryos from overweight/obese patients may be caused by the diminished capacity of oocytes to repair sperm DNA damage.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate if age and body mass of humans have an impact on the DNA-damaging properties of high-frequency mobile phone-specific electromagnetic fields (HF-EMF, 1950 MHz, universal mobile telecommunications system, UMTS signal) and if this form of radiation has an impact on the genotoxic effects of occupationally relevant exposures. Pooled peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from three groups [young normal weight, young obese (YO), and older age normal weight individuals] were exposed to different doses of HF-EMF (0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 W/kg specific absorption rate-SAR) and simultaneously or sequentially to different chemicals which cause DNA damage (CrO3, NiCl2, benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide-BPDE, and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide-4NQO) via different molecular mechanisms. We found no difference in regard to the background values in the three groups but a significant increase of DNA damage (81% without and 36% with serum) in cells from old participants after radiation with 1.0 W/kg SAR 16 h. In combined treatment experiments we found no impact of the UMTS signal on chemically induced DNA damage in the different groups in general. However, a moderate decrease of DNA damage was seen in simultaneous treatment experiments with BPDE and 1.0 W/kg SAR in the YO group (decline 18%). Taken together our findings indicate that HF-EMF cause DNA damage in PBMC from older subjects (69.1 years). Furthermore, they show that the radiation does not increase induction of DNA damage by occupationally relevant chemicals.

Transcriptome analysis provides insight into gamma irradiation delaying quality deterioration of postharvest Lentinula edodes during cold storage. FOOD CHEMISTRY. MOLECULAR SCIENCES 2023; 6:100172. [PMID: 37213208 PMCID: PMC10199187 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochms.2023.100172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
To better determine how gamma irradiation (GI) improves abiotic stress resistance, a transcriptome analysis of postharvest L. edodes in response to 1.0 kGy GI was conducted, and further the underlying mechanism of GI in delaying quality deterioration over 20 d of cold storage was explored. The results suggested that GI was involved in multiple metabolic processes in irradiated postharvest L. edodes. In comparison with the control group, the GI group contained 430 differentially expressed genes, including 151 upregulated genes and 279 downregulated genes, which unveiled characteristic expression profiles and pathways. The genes involved in the pentose phosphate pathway were mainly upregulated and the expression level of the gene encoding deoxy-D-gluconate 3-dehydrogenase was 9.151-fold higher. In contrast, the genes related to other energy metabolism pathways were downregulated. Concurrently, GI inhibited the expression of genes associated with delta 9-fatty acid desaturase, ribosomes, and HSP20; thus, GI helped postpone the degradation of lipid components, suppress transcriptional metabolism and regulate the stress response. Additionally, the metabolic behavior of DNA repair induced by GI intensified by noticeable upregulation. These regulatory effects could play a potential and nonnegligible role in delaying the deterioration of L. edodes quality. The results provide new information on the regulatory mechanism of postharvest L. edodes when subjected to 1.0 kGy GI during cold storage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Examine whether DNA repair capacity (DRC) levels are associated with body mass index (BMI) in adult women. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS A nested study composed of 539 women without breast cancer (BC) from a case-control BC study in addition to 104 that were recruited later for a total of 643. MEASUREMENTS DRC levels were measured in lymphocytes using a host-cell reactivation assay with a luciferase reporter gene damaged by UVC. This assay measures the efficiency of nucleotide excision repair (NER). Log-binomial regression model was used. The prevalence ratio (PR) was used to evaluate the magnitude of the association between the BMI and DRC levels. An assessment of interaction terms was performed with the likelihood ratio test. The confounding effect was assessed by comparing the point estimates of the crude and adjusted PR. RESULTS The 75th percentiles of DRC levels of the women with a BMI between 18 and 25 and > 25 showed statistically significant differences. The prevalence of a DRC ≤ 5 % among women with BMI > 25 is 1.24 (95 % CI: 1.03, 1.48) times the prevalence of having a DRC ≤ 5 % among the women with BMI ≤ 25 after adjustments for different covariates. This excess was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Women with a family history of cancer had an estimated PR of 1.25 (95 % CI, 0.87-1.39; P ≥ 0.05); and women with no family history of cancer, the estimated PR was 1.6 (95 % CI, 1.14-2.22; p ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Women with BMI > 25 tend to have lower DRC levels. When having a family history of cancer, the PR of low DRC levels in overweight/obese individuals was not statistically significant. However, the PR of low levels of DRC in overweight/obese individuals with no family history of cancer was statistically significant.

Abstract
The protein p53 has been extensively investigated since it was found 43 years ago and has become a "guardian of the genome" that regulates the division of cells by preventing the growth of cells and dividing them, that is, inhibits the development of tumors. Initial proof of protein existence by researchers in the mid-1970s was found by altering and regulating the SV40 big T antigen termed the A protein. Researchers demonstrated how viruses play a role in cancer by employing viruses' ability to create T-antigens complex with viral tumors, which was discovered in 1979 following a viral analysis and cancer analog research. Researchers later in the year 1989 explained that in Murine Friend, a virus-caused erythroleukemia, commonly found that p53 was inactivated to suggest that p53 could be a "tumor suppressor gene." The TP53 gene, encoding p53, is one of human cancer's most frequently altered genes. The protein-regulated biological functions of all p53s include cell cycles, apoptosis, senescence, metabolism of the DNA, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, and immunological response. We tried to unfold the history of the p53 protein, which was discovered long back in 1979, that is, 43 years of research on p53, and how p53's function has been developed through time in this article.

Bioinformatic identification of genomic instability-associated lncRNAs signatures for improving the clinical outcome of cervical cancer by a prognostic model. Sci Rep 2021; 11:20929. [PMID: 34686717 PMCID: PMC8536663 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00384-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The research is executed to analyze the connection between genomic instability-associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and the prognosis of cervical cancer patients. We set a prognostic model up and explored different risk groups' features. The clinical datasets and gene expression profiles of 307 patients have been downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We established a prognostic model that combined somatic mutation profiles and lncRNA expression profiles in a tumor genome and identified 35 genomic instability-associated lncRNAs in cervical cancer as a case study. We then stratified patients into low-risk and high-risk groups and were further checked in multiple independent patient cohorts. Patients were separated into two sets: the testing set and the training set. The prognostic model was built using three genomic instability-associated lncRNAs (AC107464.2, MIR100HG, and AP001527.2). Patients in the training set were divided into the high-risk group with shorter overall survival and the low-risk group with longer overall survival (p < 0.001); in the meantime, similar comparable results were found in the testing set (p = 0.046), whole set (p < 0.001). There are also significant differences in patients with histological grades, FIGO stages, and different ages (p < 0.05). The prognostic model focused on genomic instability-associated lncRNAs could predict the prognosis of cervical cancer patients, paving the way for further research into the function and resource of lncRNAs, as well as a key approach to customizing individual care decision-making.
