Med Res Rev 2024. [PMID: 39119702 DOI: 10.1002/med.22068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Oxidative DNA damage-related diseases, such as incurable inflammation, malignant tumors, and age-related disorders, present significant challenges in modern medicine due to their complex molecular mechanisms and limitations in identifying effective treatment targets. Recently, 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) has emerged as a promising multifunctional therapeutic target for the treatment of these challenging diseases. In this review, we systematically summarize the multiple functions and mechanisms of OGG1, including pro-inflammatory, tumorigenic, and aging regulatory mechanisms. We also highlight the potential of OGG1 inhibitors and activators as potent therapeutic agents for the aforementioned life-limiting diseases. We conclude that OGG1 serves as a multifunctional hub; the inhibition of OGG1 may provide a novel approach for preventing and treating inflammation and cancer, and the activation of OGG1 could be a strategy for preventing age-related disorders. Furthermore, we provide an extensive overview of successful applications of OGG1 regulation in treating inflammatory, cancerous, and aging-related diseases. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future directions of OGG1 as an emerging multifunctional therapeutic marker for the aforementioned challenging diseases. The aim of this review is to provide a robust reference for scientific researchers and clinical drug developers in the development of novel clinical targeted drugs for life-limiting diseases, especially for incurable inflammation, malignant tumors, and age-related disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer (OC) is a gynecological malignancy tumor with high recurrence and mortality rates. Programmed cell death (PCD) is an essential regulator in cancer metabolism, whose functions are still unknown in OC. Therefore, it is vital to determine the prognostic value and therapy response of PCD-related genes in OC. METHODS By mining The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) and Genecards databases, we constructed a prognostic PCD-related genes model and performed Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve for its predictive ability. A nomogram was created via Cox regression. We validated our model in train and test sets. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was applied to identify the expression of our model genes. Finally, we analyzed functional analysis, immune infiltration, genomic mutation, tumor mutational burden (TMB) and drug sensitivity of patients in low- and high-risk group based on median scores. RESULTS A ten-PCD-related gene signature including protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15 A (PPP1R15A), 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1), HECT and RLD domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase family member 1 (HERC1), Caspase-2.(CASP2), Caspase activity and apoptosis inhibitor 1(CAAP1), RB transcriptional corepressor 1(RB1), Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1), CD3-epsilon (CD3E), Clathrin heavy chain like 1(CLTCL1), and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPB) was constructed. Risk score performed well with good area under curve (AUC) (AUC3 - year =0.728, AUC5 - year = 0.730). The nomogram based on risk score has good performance in predicting the prognosis of OC patients (AUC1 - year =0.781, AUC3 - year =0.759, AUC5 - year = 0.670). Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that the erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog (ERBB) signaling pathway and focal adhesion were enriched in the high-risk group. Meanwhile, patients with high-risk scores had worse OS. In addition, patients with low-risk scores had higher immune-infiltrating cells and enhanced expression of checkpoints, programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1), indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) and lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG3), and were more sensitive to A.443,654, GDC.0449, paclitaxel, gefitinib and cisplatin. Finally, qRT-PCR confirmed RB1, CAAP1, ZBP1, CEBPB and CLTCL1 over-expressed, while PPP1R15A, OGG1, CASP2, CD3E and HERC1 under-expressed in OC cell lines. CONCLUSION Our model could precisely predict the prognosis, immune status and drug sensitivity of OC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary diseases impose a daunting burden on healthcare systems and societies. Current treatment approaches primarily address symptoms, underscoring the urgency for the development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions. A noteworthy focus lies in targeting enzymes recognizing oxidatively modified DNA bases within gene regulatory elements, given their pivotal role in governing gene expression. AREAS COVERED This review delves into the intricate interplay between the substrate-specific binding of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) and epigenetic regulation, with a focal point on elucidating the molecular underpinnings and their biological implications. The absence of OGG1 distinctly attenuates the binding of transcription factors to cis elements, thereby modulating pro-inflammatory or pro-fibrotic transcriptional activity. Through a synergy of experimental insights gained from cell culture studies and murine models, utilizing prototype OGG1 inhibitors (O8, TH5487, and SU0268), a promising panorama emerges. These investigations underscore the absence of cytotoxicity and the establishment of a favorable tolerance profile for these OGG1 inhibitors. EXPERT OPINION Thus, the strategic targeting of the active site pocket of OGG1 through the application of small molecules introduces an innovative trajectory for advancing redox medicine. This approach holds particular significance in the context of pulmonary diseases, offering a refined avenue for their management.

Abstract
One of abundant DNA lesions induced by reactive oxygen species is 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), which compromises genetic instability. 8-oxoG is recognized by the DNA repair protein 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) that not only participates in base excision repair but also involves in transcriptional regulation.OGG1 has an important role inIdiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) processing and targeting fibroblasts is a major strategy for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, but whether OGG1 activate fibroblast is not clear. In this study, we show that OGG1 expression level is increased at the fibroblast activation stage in mouse lungs induced by bleomycin (BLM) treatment. OGG1 promoted the expression level of fibroblast activation markers (CTGF, fibronectin, and collagen 1) in a pro-fibrotic gene transcriptional regulation pathway via interacting with Snail1, which dependent on 8-oxoG recognition. Global inhibition of OGG1 at the middle stage of lung fibrosis also relieved BLM-induced lung fibrosis in mice. Our results suggest that OGG1 is a target for inhibiting fibroblast activation and a potential therapeutic target for IPF.

Abstract
8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1), which was initially identified as the enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the DNA base excision repair pathway, is now also recognized as a modulator of gene expression. What is important for cancer is that OGG1 acts as a modulator of NFκB-driven gene expression. Specifically, oxidant stress in the cell transiently halts enzymatic activity of substrate-bound OGG1. The stalled OGG1 facilitates DNA binding of transactivators, such as NFκB to their cognate sites, enabling the expression of cytokines and chemokines, with ensuing recruitment of inflammatory cells. Recently, we highlighted chief aspects of OGG1 involvement in regulation of gene expression, which hold significance in lung cancer development. However, OGG1 has also been implicated in the molecular underpinning of acute myeloid leukemia. This review analyzes and discusses how these cells adapt through redox-modulated intricate connections, via interaction of OGG1 with NFκB, which provides malignant cells with alternative molecular pathways to transform their microenvironment, enabling adjustment, promoting cell proliferation, metastasis, and evading killing by therapeutic agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ultraviolet-induced skin photoaging was involved in DNA oxidative damage. Specnuezhenide, one of the secoiridoids extracted from Ligustri Lucidi Fructus, possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Whether specnuezhenide ameliorates skin photoaging remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of specnuezhenide on skin photoaging induced by ultraviolet and explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS Mice were employed to treat with ultraviolet to induce skin photoaging, then administrated 10 and 20 mg/kg of specnuezhenide. Histological analysis, protein expression, network pharmacology, and autodock analysis were conducted. RESULTS Specnuezhenide ameliorated ultraviolet-induced skin photoaging in mice via the increase in collagen contents, and decrease in epidermal thickness, malondialdehyde content, and β-galactosidase expression in the skin. Specnuezhenide reduced cutaneous apoptosis and inflammation in mice with skin photoaging. In addition, network pharmacology data indicated that specnuezhenide possessed potential targets on the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. Validation experiment found that specnuezhenide inhibited the expression of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3, gasdermin D-C1, and Caspase 1. Furthermore, the expression of 8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), and superoxide dismutase 2 was increased in specnuezhenide-treated mice with photoaging. CONCLUSION Specnuezhenide protected against ultraviolet-induced skin photoaging in mice via a probable activation of SIRT3/OGG1 signal.

Epigenetic control of type III interferon expression by 8-oxoguanine and its reader 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase1. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1161160.

Abstract
Interferons (IFNs) are secreted cytokines with the ability to activate expression of IFN stimulated genes that increase resistance of cells to virus infections. Activated transcription factors in conjunction with chromatin remodelers induce epigenetic changes that reprogram IFN responses. Unexpectedly, 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase1 (Ogg1) knockout mice show enhanced stimuli-driven IFN expression that confers increased resistance to viral and bacterial infections and allergen challenges. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the DNA repair protein OGG1 recognizes 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoGua) in promoters modulating IFN expression. We found that functional inhibition, genetic ablation, and inactivation by post-translational modification of OGG1 significantly augment IFN-λ expression in epithelial cells infected by human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Mechanistically, OGG1 bound to 8-oxoGua in proximity to interferon response elements, which inhibits the IRF3/IRF7 and NF-κB/RelA DNA occupancy, while promoting the suppressor NF-κB1/p50-p50 homodimer binding to the IFN-λ2/3 promoter. In a mouse model of bronchiolitis induced by RSV infection, functional ablation of OGG1 by a small molecule inhibitor (TH5487) enhances IFN-λ production, decreases immunopathology, neutrophilia, and confers antiviral protection. These findings suggest that the ROS-generated epigenetic mark 8-oxoGua via its reader OGG1 serves as a homeostatic thresholding factor in IFN-λ expression. Pharmaceutical targeting of OGG1 activity may have clinical utility in modulating antiviral response.

Abstract
Excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause an imbalance between oxidation and anti-oxidation, leading to the occurrence of oxidative stress in the body. The most common product of ROS-induced base damage is 8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxoG). Failure to promptly remove 8-oxoG often causes mutations during DNA replication. 8-oxoG is cleared from cells by the 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1)-mediated oxidative damage base excision repair pathway so as to prevent cells from suffering dysfunction due to oxidative stress. Physiological immune homeostasis and, in particular, immune cell function are vulnerable to oxidative stress. Evidence suggests that inflammation, aging, cancer, and other diseases are related to an imbalance in immune homeostasis caused by oxidative stress. However, the role of the OGG1-mediated oxidative damage repair pathway in the activation and maintenance of immune cell function is unknown. This review summarizes the current understanding of the effect of OGG1 on immune cell function.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24119372. [PMID: 37298333 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24119372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The protein family of aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) encompasses nineteen members. The ALDH1 subfamily consists of enzymes with similar activity, having the capacity to neutralize lipid peroxidation products and to generate retinoic acid; however, only ALDH1A1 emerges as a significant risk factor in acute myeloid leukemia. Not only is the gene ALDH1A1 on average significantly overexpressed in the poor prognosis group at the RNA level, but its protein product, ALDH1A1 protects acute myeloid leukemia cells from lipid peroxidation byproducts. This capacity to protect cells can be ascribed to the stability of the enzyme under conditions of oxidant stress. The capacity to protect cells is evident both in vitro, as well as in mouse xenografts of those cells, shielding cells effectively from a number of potent antineoplastic agents. However, the role of ALDH1A1 in acute myeloid leukemia has been unclear in the past due to evidence that normal cells often have higher aldehyde dehydrogenase activity than leukemic cells. This being true, ALDH1A1 RNA expression is significantly associated with poor prognosis. It is hence imperative that ALDH1A1 is methodically targeted, particularly for the acute myeloid leukemia patients of the poor prognosis risk group that overexpress ALDH1A1 RNA.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in epithelial cell-state transition and deposition of extracellular matrix upon airway injury. Of the many cellular targets of ROS, oxidative DNA modification is a major driving signal. However, the role of oxidative DNA damage in modulation profibrotic processes has not been fully delineated. Herein, we report that oxidative DNA base lesions, 8-oxoG, complexed with 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) functions as a pioneer factor, contributing to transcriptional reprogramming within airway epithelial cells. We show that TGFβ1-induced ROS increased 8-oxoG levels in open chromatin, dynamically reconfigure the chromatin state. OGG1 complexed with 8-oxoG recruits transcription factors, including phosphorylated SMAD3, to pro-fibrotic gene promoters thereby facilitating gene activation. Moreover, 8-oxoG levels are elevated in lungs of mice subjected to TGFβ1-induced injury. Pharmacologic targeting of OGG1 with the selective small molecule inhibitor of 8-oxoG binding, TH5487, abrogates fibrotic gene expression and remodeling in this model. Collectively, our study implicates that 8-oxoG substrate-specific binding by OGG1 is a central modulator of transcriptional regulation in response to tissue repair.

Abstract
The guanine base in nucleic acids is, among the other bases, the most susceptible to being converted into 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) when exposed to reactive oxygen species. In double-helix DNA, 8-oxodG can pair with adenine; hence, it may cause a G > T (C > A) mutation; it is frequently referred to as a form of DNA damage and promptly corrected by DNA repair mechanisms. Moreover, 8-oxodG has recently been redefined as an epigenetic factor that impacts transcriptional regulatory elements and other epigenetic modifications. It has been proposed that 8-oxodG exerts epigenetic control through interplay with the G-quadruplex (G4), a non-canonical DNA structure, in transcription regulatory regions. In this review, we focused on the epigenetic roles of 8-oxodG and the G4 and explored their interplay at the genomic level.

Abstract
Assessment of DNA base and strand damage can be determined using a quantitative PCR assay that is based on the concept that damage blocks the progression of a thermostable polymerase thus resulting in decreased amplification. However, some of the mutagenic DNA base lesions cause little or no distortion in Watson-Crick base pairing. One of the most abundant such lesion is 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo(d)Gua), although it affects the thermodynamic stability of the DNA, duplex 8-oxo(d)Gua does not inhibit DNA synthesis or arrest most of DNA or RNA polymerases during replication and transcription. When unrepaired, it is a pre-mutagenic base as it pairs with adenine in anti-syn conformation. Recent studies considered 8-oxo(d)Gua as an epigenetic-like mark and along with 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase1 (OGG1) and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease1 (APE1) has roles in gene expression via nucleating transcription factor's promoter occupancy. Here, we introduce its identification through fragment length analysis with repair enzyme (FLARE)-coupled quantitative (q)-PCR. One of the strengths of the assay is that 8-oxo(d)Gua can be identified within short stretches of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA in ng quantities. Bellow we describe the benefits and limits of using FLARE qPCR to assess DNA damage in mammalian cells and provide a detailed protocol of the assay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and oxidation-induced DNA damage may contribute to the pathophysiology of depression. Two key mediators of base excision repair (BER) in response to oxidative damage of DNA are OGG1 and PARP1. Few studies have examined changes in OGG1 or PARP1 mRNA in patients with depression or following antidepressant treatment. We examined PARP1 and OGG1 mRNA levels in patients with depression at baseline/pre-electroconvulsive therapy (baseline/pre-ECT) vs in healthy controls and in patients following a course of ECT. METHODS PARP1 and OGG1 were examined in whole blood samples from medicated patients with depression and controls using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Exploratory subgroup correlational analyses were performed to determine associations between PARP1 and OGG1 and mood (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 24-item version) scores as well as with vitamin B3, SIRT1, PGC1α, and tumor necrosis factor alpha levels, as previously reported on in this cohort. RESULTS PARP1 levels were reduced in samples from patients with depression vs controls (P = .03), though no difference was noted in OGG1. ECT had no effect on PARP1 or OGG1. Higher baseline PARP1 weakly correlated with greater mood improvement post ECT (P = .008). Moreover, PARP1 positively correlated with SIRT1 at baseline and post ECT, and positive correlations were noted between change in PARP1 and change in OGG1 with change in tumor necrosis factor alpha post ECT. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the effect of ECT on BER enzymes. A better understanding of BER enzymes and DNA repair in depression could unearth new mechanisms relevant to the pathophysiology of this condition and novel antidepressant treatments.

Abstract
In pathophysiology, reactive oxygen species control diverse cellular phenotypes by oxidizing biomolecules. Among these, the guanine base in nucleic acids is the most vulnerable to producing 8-oxoguanine, which can pair with adenine. Because of this feature, 8-oxoguanine in DNA (8-oxo-dG) induces a G > T (C > A) mutation in cancers, which can be deleterious and thus actively repaired by DNA repair pathways. 8-Oxoguanine in RNA (o8G) causes problems in aberrant quality and translational fidelity, thereby it is subjected to the RNA decay pathway. In addition to oxidative damage, 8-oxo-dG serves as an epigenetic modification that affects transcriptional regulatory elements and other epigenetic modifications. With the ability of o8G•A in base pairing, o8G alters structural and functional RNA-RNA interactions, enabling redirection of posttranscriptional regulation. Here, we address the production, regulation, and function of 8-oxo-dG and o8G under oxidative stress. Primarily, we focus on the epigenetic and epitranscriptional roles of 8-oxoguanine, which highlights the significance of oxidative modification in redox-mediated control of gene expression.

Abstract
Background and aim: Allergic asthma is a complex inflammatory disease involving type 2 innate lymphoid cells, type 2 T helper cells, macrophages, and eosinophils. The disease is characterized by wheezing, dyspnea, coughing, chest tightness and variable airflow limitation for which there is no cure and is symptomatically treated with inhaled corticosteroids and β2-agonists. Molecular mechanisms underlying its complex pathogenesis are not fully understood. However, 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1), a DNA repair protein may play a central role, as OGG1 deficiency decreases both innate and allergic inflammation. Methods: Using a murine ovalbumin (OVA) model of allergic airway inflammation we assessed the utility of an inhibitor of OGG1 (TH5487) in this disease context. Cytokines and chemokines, promoting immune cell recruitment were measured using a 23-multiplex assay and Western blotting. Additionally, immune cell recruitment to bronchi was measured using flow cytometry. Histological analyses and immunofluorescent staining were used to confirm immune cell influx and goblet cell hyperplasia of the airways. A PCR array was used to assess asthma-related genes in murine lung tissue following TH5487 treatment. Finally, airway hyperresponsiveness was determined using in vivo lung function measurement. Results: In this study, administration of TH5487 to mice with OVA-induced allergic airway inflammation significantly decreased goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus production. TH5487 treatment also decreased levels of activated NF-κB and expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines resulting in significantly lower recruitment of eosinophils and other immune cells to the lungs. Gene expression profiling of asthma and allergy-related proteins after TH5487 treatment revealed differences in several important regulators, including down regulation of Tnfrsf4, Arg1, Ccl12 and Ccl11, and upregulation of the negative regulator of type 2 inflammation, Bcl6. Furthermore, the gene Clca1 was upregulated following TH5487 treatment, which should be explored further due to its ambiguous role in allergic asthma. In addition, the OVA-induced airway hyperresponsiveness was significantly reduced by TH5487 treatment. Conclusion: Taken together, the data presented in this study suggest OGG1 as a clinically relevant pharmacological target for the treatment of allergic inflammation.

Abstract
The base excision repair (BER) glycosylase hOGG1 (human oxoguanine glycosylase 1) is responsible for repairing oxidative lesions in the genome, in particular oxidised guanine bases (oxoG). In addition, a role of hOGG1 in transcription regulation by recruitment of various transcription factors has been reported. Here, we demonstrate direct interactions between hOGG1 and the medically important oncogene transcription factor Myc that is involved in transcription initiation of a large number of genes including inflammatory genes. Using single molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM), we reveal recruitment of Myc to its E-box promoter recognition sequence by hOGG1 specifically under oxidative stress conditions, and conformational changes in hOGG1-Myc complexes at oxoG lesions that suggest loading of Myc at oxoG lesions by hOGG1. Importantly, our data show suppression of hOGG1 catalytic activity in oxoG repair by Myc. Furthermore, mutational analyses implicate the C28 residue in hOGG1 in oxidation induced protein dimerisation and suggest a role of hOGG1 dimerisation under oxidising conditions in hOGG1-Myc interactions. From our data we develop a mechanistic model for Myc recruitment by hOGG1 under oxidising, inflammatory conditions, which may be responsible for the observed enhanced gene expression of Myc target genes.

RELA∙8-Oxoguanine DNA Glycosylase1 Is an Epigenetic Regulatory Complex Coordinating the Hexosamine Biosynthetic Pathway in RSV Infection. Cells 2022; 11:cells11142210.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or human orthopneumovirus, is a negative-sense RNA virus that is the causative agent of severe lower respiratory tract infections in children and is associated with exacerbations of adult lung disease. The mechanisms how severe and/or repetitive virus infections cause declines in pulmonary capacity are not fully understood. We have recently discovered that viral replication triggers epithelial plasticity and metabolic reprogramming involving the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). In this study, we examine the relationship between viral induced innate inflammation and the activation of hexosamine biosynthesis in small airway epithelial cells. We observe that RSV induces ~2-fold accumulation of intracellular UDP-GlcNAc, the end-product of the HBP and the obligate substrate of N glycosylation. Using two different silencing approaches, we observe that RSV replication activates the HBP pathway in a manner dependent on the RELA proto-oncogene (65 kDa subunit). To better understand the effect of RSV on the cellular N glycoproteome, and its RELA dependence, we conduct affinity enriched LC-MS profiling in wild-type and RELA-silenced cells. We find that RSV induces the accumulation of 171 N glycosylated peptides in a RELA-dependent manner; these proteins are functionally enriched in integrins and basal lamina formation. To elaborate this mechanism of HBP expression, we demonstrate that RSV infection coordinately induces the HBP pathway enzymes in a manner requiring RELA; these genes include Glutamine-Fructose-6-Phosphate Transaminase 1 (GFPT)-1/2, Glucosamine-Phosphate N-Acetyltransferase (GNPNAT)-1, phosphoglucomutase (PGM)-3 and UDP-N-Acetylglucosamine Pyrophosphorylase (UAP)-1. Using small-molecule inhibitor(s) of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase1 (OGG1), we observe that OGG1 is also required for the expression of HBP pathway. In proximity ligation assays, RSV induces the formation of a nuclear and mitochondrial RELA∙OGG1 complex. In co-immunoprecipitaton (IP) experiments, we discover that RSV induces Ser 536-phosphorylated RELA to complex with OGG1. Chromatin IP experiments demonstrate a major role of OGG1 in supporting the recruitment of RELA and phosphorylated RNA Pol II to the HBP pathway genes. We conclude that the RELA∙OGG1 complex is an epigenetic regulator mediating metabolic reprogramming and N glycoprotein modifications of integrins in response to RSV. These findings have implications for viral-induced adaptive epithelial responses.

Abstract
As the organ executing gas exchange and directly facing the external environment, the lungs are challenged continuously by various stimuli, causing the disequilibration of redox homeostasis and leading to pulmonary diseases. The breakdown of oxidants/antioxidants system happens when the overproduction of free radicals results in an excess over the limitation of cleaning capability, which could lead to the oxidative modification of macromolecules including nucleic acids. The most common type of oxidative base, 8-oxoG, is considered the marker of DNA oxidative damage. The appearance of 8-oxoG could lead to base mismatch and its accumulation might end up as tumorigenesis. The base 8-oxoG was corrected by base excision repair initiated by 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1), which recognizes 8-oxoG from the genome and excises it from the DNA double strand, generating an AP site for further processing. Aside from its function in DNA damage repairment, it has been reported that OGG1 takes part in the regulation of gene expression, derived from its DNA binding characteristic, and showed impacts on inflammation. Researchers believe that OGG1 could be the potential therapy target for relative disease. This review intends to make an overall summary of the mechanism through which OGG1 regulates gene expression and the role of OGG1 in pulmonary diseases.

Abstract
The human brain requires a high rate of oxygen consumption to perform intense metabolic activities, accounting for 20% of total body oxygen consumption. This high oxygen uptake results in the generation of free radicals, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), which, at physiological levels, are beneficial to the proper functioning of fundamental cellular processes. At supraphysiological levels, however, ROS and associated lesions cause detrimental effects in brain cells, commonly observed in several neurodegenerative disorders. In this review, we focus on the impact of oxidative DNA base lesions and the role of DNA glycosylase enzymes repairing these lesions on brain function and disease. Furthermore, we discuss the role of DNA base oxidation as an epigenetic mechanism involved in brain diseases, as well as potential roles of DNA glycosylases in different epigenetic contexts. We provide a detailed overview of the impact of DNA glycosylases on brain metabolism, cognition, inflammation, tissue loss and regeneration, and age-related neurodegenerative diseases based on evidence collected from animal and human models lacking these enzymes, as well as post-mortem studies on patients with neurological disorders.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Among various oxidized molecules, the marked accumulation of an oxidized form of guanine, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), is observed in the AD brain. 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine triphosphatase (MTH1) and 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase (OGG1) minimize the 8-oxoG accumulation in DNA, and their expression is decreased in the AD brain. MTH1 and/or OGG1 may suppress the pathogenesis of AD; however, their exact roles remain unclear. We evaluated the roles of MTH1 and OGG1 during the pathogenesis of AD using AppNL-G-F/NL-G-F knock-in mice (a preclinical AD model). Six-month-old female AppNL-G-F/NL-G-F mice with MTH1 and/or OGG1 deficiency exhibited reduced anxiety-related behavior, but their cognitive and locomotive functions were unchanged; the alteration was less evident in 12-month-old mice. MTH1 and/or OGG1 deficiency accelerated the 8-oxoG accumulation and microgliosis in the amygdala and cortex of six-month-old mice; the alteration was less evident in 12-month-old mice. Astrocytes and neurons were not influenced. We showed that MTH1 and OGG1 are essential for minimizing oxidative DNA damage in the AppNL-G-F/NL-G-F brain, and the effects are age-dependent. MTH1 and/or OGG1 deficiency reduced anxiety-related behavior in AppNL-G-F/NL-G-F mice with a significant acceleration of the 8-oxoG burden and microgliosis, especially in the cortex and amygdala.

Abstract
The multi-step base excision repair (BER) pathway is initiated by a set of enzymes, known as DNA glycosylases, able to scan DNA and detect modified bases among a vast number of normal bases. While DNA glycosylases in the BER pathway generally bend the DNA and flip damaged bases into lesion specific pockets, the HEAT-like repeat DNA glycosylase AlkD detects and excises bases without sequestering the base from the DNA helix. We show by single-molecule tracking experiments that AlkD scans DNA without forming a stable interrogation complex. This contrasts with previously studied repair enzymes that need to flip bases into lesion-recognition pockets and form stable interrogation complexes. Moreover, we show by design of a loss-of-function mutant that the bimodality in scanning observed for the structural homologue AlkF is due to a key structural differentiator between AlkD and AlkF; a positively charged β-hairpin able to protrude into the major groove of DNA.

Abstract
The oxidation-induced DNA modification 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) was recently implicated in the activation and repression of gene transcription. We aimed at a systematic characterisation of the impacts of 8-oxodG on the activity of a GC box placed upstream from the RNA polymerase II core promoter. With the help of reporters carrying single synthetic 8-oxodG residues at four conserved G:C base pairs (underlined) within the 5'-TGGGCGGAGC-3' GC box sequence, we identified two modes of interference of 8-oxodG with the promoter activity. Firstly, 8-oxodG in the purine-rich (but not in the pyrimidine-rich) strand caused direct impairment of transcriptional activation. In addition, and independently of the first mechanism, 8-oxodG initiated a decline of the gene expression, which was mediated by the specific DNA glycosylase OGG1. For the different 8-oxodG positions, the magnitude of this effect reflected the excision preferences of OGG1. Thus, 8-oxodG seeded in the pyrimidine-rich strand was excised with the highest efficiency and caused the most pronounced decrease of the promoter activity. Conversely, 8-oxodG in the symmetric position within the same CpG dinucleotide, was poorly excised and induced no decline of the gene expression. Of note, abasic lesions caused gene silencing in both positions. By contrast, an uncleavable apurinic lesion in the pyrimidine-rich strand enhanced the GC box activity, suggesting that the AP endonuclease step provides a switch between the active versus repressed promoter states during base excision repair.

Abstract
DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species may result in genetic mutations or cell death. Base excision repair (BER) is the major pathway that repairs DNA oxidative damage in order to maintain genomic integrity. In mammals, eleven DNA glycosylases have been reported to initiate BER, where each recognizes a few related DNA substrate lesions with some degree of overlapping specificity. 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), one of the most abundant DNA oxidative lesions, is recognized and excised mainly by 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1). Further oxidation of 8-oxoG generates hydantoin lesions, which are recognized by NEIL glycosylases. Here, we demonstrate that NEIL1, and to a lesser extent NEIL2, can potentially function as backup BER enzymes for OGG1 upon pharmacological inhibition or depletion of OGG1. NEIL1 recruitment kinetics and chromatin binding after DNA damage induction increase in cells treated with OGG1 inhibitor TH5487 in a dose-dependent manner, whereas NEIL2 accumulation at DNA damage sites is prolonged following OGG1 inhibition. Furthermore, depletion of OGG1 results in increased retention of NEIL1 and NEIL2 at damaged chromatin. Importantly, oxidatively stressed NEIL1- or NEIL2-depleted cells show excessive genomic 8-oxoG lesions accumulation upon OGG1 inhibition, suggesting a prospective compensatory role for NEIL1 and NEIL2. Our study thus exemplifies possible backup mechanisms within the base excision repair pathway.

Abstract
DNA of all living cells undergoes continuous structural and chemical alterations resulting from fundamental cellular metabolic processes and reactivity of normal cellular metabolites and constituents. Examples include enzymatically oxidized bases, aberrantly methylated bases, and deaminated bases, the latter largely uracil from deaminated cytosine. In addition, the non-canonical DNA base uracil may result from misincorporated dUMP. Furthermore, uracil generated by deamination of cytosine in DNA is not always damage as it is also an intermediate in normal somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class shift recombination (CSR) at the Ig locus of B-cells in adaptive immunity. Many of the modifications alter base-pairing properties and may thus cause replicative and transcriptional mutagenesis. The best known and most studied epigenetic mark in DNA is 5-methylcytosine (5mC), generated by a methyltransferase that uses SAM as methyl donor, usually in CpG contexts. Oxidation products of 5mC are now thought to be intermediates in active demethylation as well as epigenetic marks in their own rights. The aim of this review is to describe the endogenous processes that surround the generation and removal of the most common types of DNA nucleobase modifications, namely, uracil and certain epigenetic modifications, together with their role in the development of hematological malignances. We also discuss what dictates whether the presence of an altered nucleobase is defined as damage or a natural modification.

Abstract
It has been established that 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) is the main enzyme removing oxidized guanine under oxidative stress. However, increasing evidence has shown that OGG1 is not only a base excision repair protein but also a new transcriptional coactivator involved in oxidative stress-induced gene expression. Its downstream target genes and the underlying regulatory mechanisms still need to be discerned. Here, it was discovered that c-Myc is a downstream target of OGG1 under oxidative stress and that H4R3me2a is involved in this transcriptional regulation. The increased level of H4R3me2a induced by H2O2 is regulated by OGG1, which may directly interact with the specific arginine methyltransferase PRMT1 and promote the asymmetrical dimethylation of H4R3me1. H4R3me2a enrichment on the promoter of c-Myc can recruit YY1 and activate c-Myc transcription. Moreover, knocking down OGG1 or PRMT1 suppresses c-Myc transcription under oxidative stress by downregulating H4R3me2a formation. Furthermore, the overexpression of wild type (WT) H4R3 promotes c-Myc transcription, but the expression of mutant H4R3Q does not have this effect. Taken together, our data show that the 8-oxoG/OGG1/PRMT1/H4R3me2a/YY1 axis senses oxidative stress and promotes gene transcription.

Abstract
Alterations of DNA repair enzymes and consequential triggering of aberrant DNA damage response (DDR) pathways are thought to play a pivotal role in genomic instabilities associated with cancer development, and are further thought to be important predictive biomarkers for therapy using the synthetic lethality paradigm. However, novel unpredicted perspectives are emerging from the identification of several non-canonical roles of DNA repair enzymes, particularly in gene expression regulation, by different molecular mechanisms, such as (i) non-coding RNA regulation of tumour suppressors, (ii) epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of genes involved in genotoxic responses and (iii) paracrine effects of secreted DNA repair enzymes triggering the cell senescence phenotype. The base excision repair (BER) pathway, canonically involved in the repair of non-distorting DNA lesions generated by oxidative stress, ionising radiation, alkylation damage and spontaneous or enzymatic deamination of nucleotide bases, represents a paradigm for the multifaceted roles of complex DDR in human cells. This review will focus on what is known about the canonical and non-canonical functions of BER enzymes related to cancer development, highlighting novel opportunities to understand the biology of cancer and representing future perspectives for designing new anticancer strategies. We will specifically focus on APE1 as an example of a pleiotropic and multifunctional BER protein.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced continuously throughout the cell as products of various redox reactions. Yet these products function as important signal messengers, acting through oxidation of specific target factors. Whilst excess ROS production has the potential to induce oxidative stress, physiological roles of ROS are supported by a spatiotemporal equilibrium between ROS producers and scavengers such as antioxidative enzymes. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a non-radical ROS, is produced through the process of oxidative folding. Utilisation and dysregulation of H2O2, in particular that generated in the ER, affects not only cellular homeostasis but also the longevity of organisms. ROS dysregulation has been implicated in various pathologies including dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases, sanctioning a field of research that strives to better understand cell-intrinsic ROS production. Here we review the organelle-specific ROS-generating and consuming pathways, providing evidence that the ER is a major contributing source of potentially pathologic ROS.

Abstract
8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a major product of DNA oxidation, is a pre-mutagenic lesion which is prone to mispair, if left unrepaired, with 2'-deoxyadenosine during DNA replication. While unrepaired or incompletely repaired 8-oxodG has classically been associated with genome instability and cancer, it has recently been reported to have a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Despite the growing collection of genome-wide 8-oxodG mapping studies that have been used to provide new insight on the functional nature of 8-oxodG within the genome, a comprehensive view that brings together the epigenetic and the mutagenic nature of the 8-oxodG is still lacking. To help address this gap, this review aims to provide (i) a description of the state-of-the-art knowledge on both the mutagenic and epigenetic roles of 8-oxodG; (ii) putative molecular models through which the 8-oxodG can cause genome instability; (iii) a possible molecular model on how 8-oxodG, acting as an epigenetic signal, could cause the translocations and deletions which are associated with cancer.

Abstract
Altered oncogene expression in cancer cells causes loss of redox homeostasis resulting in oxidative DNA damage, e.g. 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), repaired by base excision repair (BER). PARP1 coordinates BER and relies on the upstream 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) to recognise and excise 8-oxoG. Here we hypothesize that OGG1 may represent an attractive target to exploit reactive oxygen species (ROS) elevation in cancer. Although OGG1 depletion is well tolerated in non-transformed cells, we report here that OGG1 depletion obstructs A3 T-cell lymphoblastic acute leukemia growth in vitro and in vivo, validating OGG1 as a potential anti-cancer target. In line with this hypothesis, we show that OGG1 inhibitors (OGG1i) target a wide range of cancer cells, with a favourable therapeutic index compared to non-transformed cells. Mechanistically, OGG1i and shRNA depletion cause S-phase DNA damage, replication stress and proliferation arrest or cell death, representing a novel mechanistic approach to target cancer. This study adds OGG1 to the list of BER factors, e.g. PARP1, as potential targets for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) airborne pollution increases the risk of chronic respiratory diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is characterized by non-specific inflammation of the interstitial lung and extensive deposition of collagen fibers. Type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2s) are alveolar stem cells in the adult lung that contribute to the lung repair process through complex signaling. Our previous studies demonstrated that OGG1, a kind of DNA repair enzyme, have a critical role in protecting cells from oxidative damage and apoptosis induced by PM2.5, but the contribution of OGG1 in proliferation and self-renewal of AEC2s is not known. Here, we constructed OGG1-/-mice to test the effect and mechanism of OGG1 on PM2.5-induced pulmonary fibrosis and injury in vivo. We detected proliferation and self-renewal of OGG1 overexpression or OGG1 knockout AEC2s after PM2.5 injury by flow cytometry and clone formation. We observed that knockout of OGG1 aggravated pulmonary fibrosis, oxidative stress, and AEC2 cell death in PM2.5-injured mice. In addition, OGG1 is required for the proliferation and renewal of AEC2s after PM2.5 injury. Overexpression of OGG1 promotes the proliferation and self-renewal of AEC2s by inhibiting PM2.5-mediated oxidative stress and NF-κB signaling hyperactivation in vitro. Furthermore, NF-κB inhibitors promoted proliferation and self-renewal of OGG1-deficient AEC2s cells after PM2.5 injury, and attenuated PM2.5-induced pulmonary fibrosis and injury in mice. These data establish OGG1 as a regulator of NF-κB signal that serves to regulate AEC2 cell proliferation and self-renewal, and suggest a mechanism that inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for IPF patients with low-expression of OGG1.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1) is a base excision repair enzyme responsible for the recognition and removal of 8-oxoguanine, a commonly occurring oxidized DNA modification. OGG1 prevents the accumulation of mutations and regulates the transcription of various oxidative stress–response genes. In addition to targeting DNA, oxidative stress can affect proteins like OGG1 itself, specifically at cysteine residues. Previous work has shown that the function of OGG1 is sensitive to oxidants, with the cysteine residues of OGG1 being the most likely site of oxidation. Due to the integral role of OGG1 in maintaining cellular homeostasis under oxidative stress, it is important to understand the effect of oxidants on OGG1 and the role of cysteines in its structure and function. In this study, we investigate the role of the cysteine residues in the function of OGG1 by mutating and characterizing each cysteine residue. Our results indicate that the cysteines in OGG1 fall into four functional categories: those that are necessary for (1) glycosylase activity (C146 and C255), (2) lyase activity (C140S, C163, C241, and C253), and (3) structural stability (C253) and (4) those with no known function (C28 and C75). These results suggest that under conditions of oxidative stress, cysteine can be targeted for modifications, thus altering the response of OGG1 and affecting its downstream cellular functions.

Abstract
The DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), which excises 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine lesions induced in DNA by reactive oxygen species, has been linked to the pathogenesis of lung diseases associated with bacterial infections. A recently developed small molecule, SU0268, has demonstrated selective inhibition of OGG1 activity; however, its role in attenuating inflammatory responses has not been tested. In this study, we report that SU0268 has a favorable effect on bacterial infection both in mouse alveolar macrophages (MH-S cells) and in C57BL/6 wild-type mice by suppressing inflammatory responses, particularly promoting type I IFN responses. SU0268 inhibited proinflammatory responses during Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA14) infection, which is mediated by the KRAS-ERK1-NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, SU0268 induces the release of type I IFN by the mitochondrial DNA-cGAS-STING-IRF3-IFN-β axis, which decreases bacterial loads and halts disease progression. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the small-molecule inhibitor of OGG1 (SU0268) can attenuate excessive inflammation and improve mouse survival rates during PA14 infection. This strong anti-inflammatory feature may render the inhibitor as an alternative treatment for controlling severe inflammatory responses to bacterial infection.

Abstract
8‐Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase1 (OGG1)‐initiated base excision repair (BER) is the primary pathway to remove the pre‐mutagenic 8‐oxo‐7,8‐dihydroguanine (8‐oxoG) from DNA. Recent studies documented 8‐oxoG serves as an epigenetic‐like mark and OGG1 modulates gene expression in oxidatively stressed cells. For this new role of OGG1, two distinct mechanisms have been proposed: one is coupled to base excision, while the other only requires substrate binding of OGG1––both resulting in conformational adjustment in the adjacent DNA sequences providing access for transcription factors to their cis‐elements. The present study aimed to examine if BER activity of OGG1 is required for pro‐inflammatory gene expression. To this end, Ogg1/OGG1 knockout/depleted cells were transfected with constructs expressing wild‐type (wt) and repair‐deficient mutants of OGG1. OGG1's promoter enrichment, oxidative state, and gene expression were examined. Results showed that TNFα exposure increased levels of oxidatively modified cysteine(s) of wt OGG1 without impairing its association with promoter and facilitated gene expression. The excision deficient K249Q mutant was even a more potent activator of gene expression; whereas, mutant OGG1 with impaired substrate recognition/binding was not. These data suggested the interaction of OGG1 with its substrate at regulatory regions followed by conformational adjustment in the adjacent DNA is the primary mode to modulate inflammatory gene expression.

Abstract
DNA glycosylases are enzymes that initiate the base excision repair pathway, a major biochemical process that protects the genomes of all living organisms from intrinsically and environmentally inflicted damage. Recently, base excision repair inhibition proved to be a viable strategy for the therapy of tumors that have lost alternative repair pathways, such as BRCA-deficient cancers sensitive to poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibition. However, drugs targeting DNA glycosylases are still in development and so far have not advanced to clinical trials. In this review, we cover the attempts to validate DNA glycosylases as suitable targets for inhibition in the pharmacological treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, chronic inflammation, bacterial and viral infections. We discuss the glycosylase inhibitors described so far and survey the advances in the assays for DNA glycosylase reactions that may be used to screen pharmacological libraries for new active compounds.

Abstract
Chemical modifications of DNA and RNA regulate genome functions or trigger mutagenesis resulting in aging or cancer. Oxidations of macromolecules, including DNA, are common reactions in biological systems and often part of regulatory circuits rather than accidental events. DNA alterations are particularly relevant since the unique role of nuclear and mitochondrial genome is coding enduring and inheritable information. Therefore, an alteration in DNA may represent a relevant problem given its transmission to daughter cells. At the same time, the regulation of gene expression allows cells to continuously adapt to the environmental changes that occur throughout the life of the organism to ultimately maintain cellular homeostasis. Here we review the multiple ways that lead to DNA oxidation and the regulation of mechanisms activated by cells to repair this damage. Moreover, we present the recent evidence suggesting that DNA damage caused by physiological metabolism acts as epigenetic signal for regulation of gene expression. In particular, the predisposition of guanine to oxidation might reflect an adaptation to improve the genome plasticity to redox changes.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the airways caused by exposure to gas phase pollutants or particulate matter are able to activate dendritic cells (DCs); however, the exact mechanisms are still unclear. When present in excess, ROS can modify macromolecules including DNA. One of the most abundant DNA base lesions is 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), which is repaired by the 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1)-initiated base excision repair (BER) (OGG1-BER) pathway. Studies have also demonstrated that in addition to its role in repairing oxidized purines, OGG1 has guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity when bound to 8-oxoG. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that exposure to 8-oxoG, the specific product of OGG1-BER, induces functional changes of DCs. Supporting our hypothesis, transcriptome analysis revealed that in mouse lungs, out of 95 genes associated with DCs' function, 22 or 42 were significantly upregulated after a single or multiple intranasal 8-oxoG challenges, respectively. In a murine model of allergic airway inflammation, significantly increased serum levels of ovalbumin (OVA)-specific IgE antibodies were detected in mice sensitized via nasal challenges with OVA+8-oxoG compared to those challenged with OVA alone. Furthermore, exposure of primary human monocyte-derived DCs (moDC) to 8-oxoG base resulted in significantly enhanced expression of cell surface molecules (CD40, CD86, CD83, HLA-DQ) and augmented the secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators IL-6, TNF and IL-8, whereas it did not considerably influence the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. The stimulatory effects of 8-oxoG on human moDCs were abolished upon siRNA-mediated OGG1 depletion. Collectively, these data suggest that OGG1-BER-generated 8-oxoG base-driven cell signaling activates DCs, which may contribute to initiation of both the innate and adaptive immune responses under conditions of oxidative stress.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1)-initiated base excision repair pathway is primarily responsible for 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) removal from DNA. Recent studies, however, have shown that 8-oxoG in gene regulatory elements may serve as an epigenetic mark, and OGG1 has distinct functions in modulating gene expression. Genome-wide mapping of oxidative stress-induced OGG1 enrichment within introns was documented, but its significance has not yet been fully characterized. Here, we explored whether OGG1 recruited to intron 1 of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP1) gene and modulated its expression. Using chromatin and DNA:RNA hybrid immunoprecipitation assays, we report recruitment of OGG1 to the DNA:RNA hybrid in intron 1, where it increases nascent RNA but lowers mRNA levels in O3-exposed human airway epithelial cells and mouse lungs. Decrease in TIMP1 expression is alleviated by antioxidant administration, small interfering RNA depletion, or inhibition of OGG1 binding to its genomic substrate. In vitro studies revealed direct interaction between OGG1 and 8-oxoG containing DNA:RNA hybrid, without excision of its substrate. Inhibition of OGG1 binding to DNA:RNA hybrid translated into an increase in TIMP1 expression and a decrease in oxidant-induced lung inflammatory responses as well as airway remodeling. Data documented here reveal a novel molecular link between OGG1 at damaged sites and transcription dynamics that may contribute to oxidative stress-induced cellular and tissue responses.-Pan, L., Wang, H., Luo, J., Zeng, J., Pi, J., Liu, H., Liu, C., Ba, X., Qu, X., Xiang, Y., Boldogh, I., Qin, X.

Abstract
The relationships between inflammation and cancer are varied and complex. An important connection linking inflammation to cancer development is DNA damage. During inflammation reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) are created to combat pathogens and to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, but these chemicals can also damage DNA, which in turn can promote mutations that initiate and promote cancer. DNA repair pathways are essential for preventing DNA damage from causing mutations and cytotoxicity, but RONS can interfere with repair mechanisms, reducing their efficacy. Further, cellular responses to DNA damage, such as damage signaling and cytotoxicity, can promote inflammation, creating a positive feedback loop. Despite coordination of DNA repair and oxidative stress responses, there are nevertheless examples whereby inflammation has been shown to promote mutagenesis, tissue damage, and ultimately carcinogenesis. Here, we discuss the DNA damage-mediated associations between inflammation, mutagenesis and cancer.

Abstract
Endogenous and exogenous oxidative agents continuously damage genomic DNA, with the brain being particularly vulnerable. Thus, preserving genomic integrity is key for brain health and neuronal function. Accumulation of DNA damage is one of the causative factors of ageing and increases the risk of a wide range of neurological disorders. Base excision repair is the major pathway for removal of oxidized bases in the genome and initiated by DNA glycosylases. Emerging evidence suggest that DNA glycosylases have non-canonical functions important for genome regulation. Understanding canonical and non-canonical functions of DNA glycosylases processing oxidative base lesions modulating brain function will be crucial for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of physiological integrity, leading to impaired organ function and, ultimately, increased vulnerability to death. Many complex diseases are related to aging, including asthma. In the lung, the airway epithelium serves as the first barrier to prevent the access of inspired external stimuli and dictates the initial stress responses. Notably, in the airway mucosa of asthma patients, an increase in senescent airway epithelial cells has been detected. Although it has been speculated that the senescence of airway epithelial cells could increase asthma susceptibility and aggravate asthma severity, the role of cell senescence in the development of asthma remains unclear. Integrin β4 (ITGB4) is a structural adhesion molecule with complex physiological functions that is downregulated in airway epithelial cells of asthma patients. This study demonstrates that the expression of ITGB4 in airway epithelial cells is downregulated significantly under oxidative stress or upon inflammatory stimulation. Moreover, we show that ITGB4 deficiency induces the senescence of airway epithelial cells through the activation of the p53 pathway both in vitro and in vivo. Together, our results demonstrate that airway epithelial senescence induced by ITGB4 deficiency after oxidative stress or inflammatory stimulation may be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. Understanding the contribution of ITGB4 deficiency to the senescence of airway epithelial cells in asthma patients may provide new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of asthma.

Abstract
Modifications of DNA strands and nucleobases-both induced and accidental-are associated with unfavorable consequences including loss or gain in genetic information and mutations. Therefore, DNA repair proteins have essential roles in keeping genome fidelity. Recently, mounting evidence supports that 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), one of the most abundant genomic base modifications generated by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, along with its cognate repair protein 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase1 (OGG1), has distinct roles in gene expression through transcription modulation or signal transduction. Binding to 8-oxoG located in gene regulatory regions, OGG1 acts as a transcription modulator, which can control transcription factor homing, induce allosteric transition of G-quadruplex structure, or recruit chromatin remodelers. In addition, post-repair complex formed between OGG1 and its repair product-free 8-oxoG increases the levels of active small GTPases and induces downstream signaling cascades to trigger gene expressions. The present review discusses how cells exploit damaged guanine base(s) and the authentic repair protein to orchestrate a profile of various transcriptomes in redox-regulated biological processes.

Abstract
Cytokines are pivotal mediators of the immune response, and their coordinated expression protects host tissue from excessive damage and oxidant stress. Nevertheless, the development of lung pathology, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and ozone-induced lung injury, is associated with oxidant stress; as evidence, there is a significant increase in levels of the modified guanine base 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) in the genome. 8-OxoG is primarily recognized by 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1), which catalyzes the first step in the DNA base excision repair pathway. However, oxidant stress in the cell transiently halts enzymatic activity of substrate-bound OGG1. The stalled OGG1 facilitates DNA binding of transactivators, including NF-κB, to their cognate sites to enable expression of cytokines and chemokines, with ensuing recruitments of inflammatory cells. Hence, defective OGG1 will modulate the coordination between innate and adaptive immunity through excessive oxidant stress and cytokine dysregulation. Both oxidant stress and cytokine dysregulation constitute key elements of oncogenesis by KRAS, which is mechanistically coupled to OGG1. Thus, analysis of the mechanism by which OGG1 modulates gene expression helps discern between beneficial and detrimental effects of oxidant stress, exposes a missing functional link as a marker, and yields a novel target for lung cancer.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) initiates the base excision repair pathway by removing one of the most abundant DNA lesions, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG). Recent data showed that 8-oxoG not only is a pro-mutagenic genomic base lesion, but also functions as an epigenetic mark and that consequently OGG1 acquire distinct roles in modulation of gene expression. In support, lack of functional OGG1 in Ogg1-/- mice led to an altered expression of genes including those responsible for the aberrant innate and adaptive immune responses and susceptibility to metabolic disorders. Therefore, the present study examined stimulus-driven OGG1-DNA interactions at whole genome level using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-coupled sequencing, and the roles of OGG1 enriched on the genome were validated by molecular and system-level approaches. Results showed that signaling levels of cellular ROS generated by TNFα, induced enrichment of OGG1 at specific sites of chromatinized DNA, primarily in the regulatory regions of genes. OGG1-ChIP-ed genes are associated with important cellular and biological processes and OGG1 enrichment was limited to a time scale required for immediate cellular responses. Prevention of OGG1-DNA interactions by siRNA depletion led to modulation of NF-κB's DNA occupancy and differential expression of genes. Taken together these data show TNFα-ROS-driven enrichment of OGG1 at gene regulatory regions in the chromatinized DNA, which is a prerequisite to modulation of gene expression for prompt cellular responses to oxidant stress.

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
Oxidative stress and the resulting damage to genomic DNA are inevitable consequences of endogenous physiological processes, and they are amplified by cellular responses to environmental exposures. One of the most frequent reactions of reactive oxygen species with DNA is the oxidation of guanine to pre-mutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG). Despite the vulnerability of guanine to oxidation, vertebrate genes are primarily embedded in GC-rich genomic regions, and over 72% of the promoters of human genes belong to a class with a high GC content. In the promoter, 8-oxoG may serve as an epigenetic mark, and when complexed with the oxidatively inactivated repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1, provide a platform for the coordination of the initial steps of DNA repair and the assembly of the transcriptional machinery to launch the prompt and preferential expression of redox-regulated genes. Deviations/variations from this artful coordination may be the etiological links between guanine oxidation and various cellular pathologies and diseases during ageing processes.

Abstract
Oxidative stress resulting from endogenous and exogenous sources causes damage to cellular components, including genomic and mitochondrial DNA. Oxidative DNA damage is primarily repaired via the base excision repair pathway that is initiated by DNA glycosylases. 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) recognizes and cleaves oxidized and ring-fragmented purines, including 8-oxoguanine, the most commonly formed oxidative DNA lesion. Mice lacking the OGG1 gene product are prone to multiple features of the metabolic syndrome, including high-fat diet-induced obesity, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance. Here, we report that OGG1-deficient mice also display skeletal muscle pathologies, including increased muscle lipid deposition and alterations in genes regulating lipid uptake and mitochondrial fission in skeletal muscle. In addition, expression of genes of the TCA cycle and of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism are also significantly altered in muscle of OGG1-deficient mice. These tissue changes are accompanied by marked reductions in markers of muscle function in OGG1-deficient animals, including decreased grip strength and treadmill endurance. Collectively, these data indicate a role for skeletal muscle OGG1 in the maintenance of optimal tissue function.
