Abstract
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) can result in a highly unfavourable prognosis. In recent years, the study of SAH has focused on early brain injury (EBI), which is a crucial progress that contributes to adverse prognosis. SAH can lead to various complications, including mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage. Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) is an essential protein with multifaceted functionality integral to DNA repair and redox signalling. However, the role of APE1 in mitochondrial DNA damage repair after SAH is still unclear. METHODS Our study involved an in vivo endovascular perforation model in rats and an in vitro neuron oxyhaemoglobin intervention. Then, the effects of APE1 on mitochondrial DNA damage repair were analysed by western blot, immunofluorescence, quantitative real-time PCR, mitochondrial bioenergetics measurement and neurobehavioural experiments. RESULTS We found that the level of APE1 decreased while the mitochondria DNA damage and neuronal death increased in a rat model of SAH. Overexpression of APE1 improved short-term and long-term behavioural impairment in rats after SAH. In vitro, after primary neurons exposed to oxyhaemoglobin, APE1 expression significantly decreased along with increased mitochondrial DNA damage, a reduction in the subunit of respiratory chain complex levels and subsequent respiratory chain dysfunction. Overexpression of APE1 relieved energy metabolism disorders in the mitochondrial of neurons and reduced neuronal apoptosis. CONCLUSION In conclusion, APE1 is involved in EBI after SAH by affecting mitochondrial apoptosis via the mitochondrial respiratory chain. APE1 may potentially play a vital role in the EBI stage after SAH, making it a critical target for treatment.

[PMID: 38718860 PMCID: PMC11176775 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) requires a tight coordination between the repair enzymes through protein-protein interactions and involves gap filling by DNA polymerase (pol) β and subsequent nick sealing by DNA ligase (LIG) 1 or LIGIIIα at the downstream steps. Apurinic/apyrimidinic-endonuclease 1 (APE1), by its exonuclease activity, proofreads 3' mismatches incorporated by polβ during BER. We previously reported that the interruptions in the functional interplay between polβ and the BER ligases result in faulty repair events. Yet, how the protein interactions of LIG1 and LIGIIIα could affect the repair pathway coordination during nick sealing at the final steps remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that LIGIIIα interacts more tightly with polβ and APE1 than LIG1, and the N-terminal noncatalytic region of LIG1 as well as the catalytic core and BRCT domain of LIGIIIα mediate interactions with both proteins. Our results demonstrated less efficient nick sealing of polβ nucleotide insertion products in the absence of LIGIIIα zinc-finger domain and LIG1 N-terminal region. Furthermore, we showed a coordination between APE1 and LIG1/LIGIIIα during the removal of 3' mismatches from the nick repair intermediate on which both BER ligases can seal noncanonical ends or gap repair intermediate leading to products of single deletion mutagenesis. Overall results demonstrate the importance of functional coordination from gap filling by polβ coupled to nick sealing by LIG1/LIGIIIα in the presence of proofreading by APE1, which is mainly governed by protein-protein interactions and protein-DNA intermediate communications, to maintain repair efficiency at the downstream steps of the BER pathway.

Ther Adv Med Oncol 2024; 16:17588359241248330. [PMID: 38680291 PMCID: PMC11047243 DOI: 10.1177/17588359241248330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) is caused by different exogenous risk factors including smoking cigarettes, alcohol consumption, and HPV infection. Base excision repair (BER) is the frontline to repair oxidative DNA damage, which is initiated by the DNA N-glycosylase proteins (OGG1) and other BER factors including DNA polymerase β (POLB). Objective Explore whether BER genes' (OGG1, POLB) overexpression in HNSCC alters genomic integrity, immunogenicity, and its role in prognostic value. Design RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and clinical information (age, gender, histological grade, survival status, and stage) of 530 patients of HNSCC were retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas. Patients' data are categorized HPV positive or negative to analyze the tumor data including the tumor stage, POLB, and OGG1 gene expression. Methods RNA-Seq of HNSCC data retrieved and mutation count and aneuploidy score were compared using an unpaired t-test. The TIMER algorithm was used to calculate the tumor abundance of six infiltrating immune cells (CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells) based on RNA-Seq expression profile data. The correlation between the POLB, OGG1, and immune cells was calculated by Spearman correlation analysis using TIMER 2.0. Results Our data analysis reveals that BER genes frequently overexpressed in HNSCC tumors and increase mutation count. In addition, OGG1 and POLB overexpression are associated with low infiltration of immune cells, low immune checkpoint gene expression (PD-1, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4, program death ligand 1, and program death ligand 2), and innate immune signaling genes. Furthermore, dysregulated BER factors in Human papillomavirus (HPV) positive tumors had better overall survival. Conclusion Our analysis suggests that dysregulation of the BER genes panel might be a potential prognosis marker and/or an attractive target for an immune checkpoint blockade in HNSCC cancers. However, our observation still requires further experimental-based scientific validation studies.

Abstract
When cells proliferate, stress on DNA replication or exposure to endogenous or external insults frequently results in DNA damage. DNA-Damage Response (DDR) networks are complex signaling pathways used by multicellular organisms to prevent DNA damage. Depending on the type of broken DNA, the various pathways, Base-Excision Repair (BER), Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER), Mismatch Repair (MMR), Homologous Recombination (HR), Non-Homologous End-Joining (NHEJ), Interstrand Crosslink (ICL) repair, and other direct repair pathways, can be activated separately or in combination to repair DNA damage. To preserve homeostasis, innate and adaptive immune responses are effective defenses against endogenous mutation or invasion by external pathogens. It is interesting to note that new research keeps showing how closely DDR components and the immune system are related. DDR and immunological response are linked by immune effectors such as the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) pathway. These effectors act as sensors of DNA damage-caused immune response. Furthermore, DDR components themselves function in immune responses to trigger the generation of inflammatory cytokines in a cascade or even trigger programmed cell death. Defective DDR components are known to disrupt genomic stability and compromise immunological responses, aggravating immune imbalance and leading to serious diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. This study examines the most recent developments in the interaction between DDR elements and immunological responses. The DDR network's immune modulators' dual roles may offer new perspectives on treating infectious disorders linked to DNA damage, including cancer, and on the development of target immunotherapy.

Abstract
DNA-modifying enzymes act as critical regulators in a wide range of genetic functions (e.g., DNA damage & repair, DNA replication), and their aberrant expression may interfere with regular genetic functions and induce various malignant diseases including cancers. DNA-modifying enzymes have emerged as the potential biomarkers in early diagnosis of diseases and new therapeutic targets in genomic research. Consequently, the development of highly specific and sensitive biosensors for the detection of DNA-modifying enzymes is of great importance for basic biomedical research, disease diagnosis, and drug discovery. Single-molecule fluorescence detection has been widely implemented in the field of molecular diagnosis due to its simplicity, high sensitivity, visualization capability, and low sample consumption. In this paper, we summarize the recent advances in single-molecule counting-based biosensors for DNA-modifying enzyme (i.e, alkaline phosphatase, DNA methyltransferase, DNA glycosylase, flap endonuclease 1, and telomerase) assays in the past four years (2019 - 2023). We highlight the principles and applications of these biosensors, and give new insight into the future challenges and perspectives in the development of single-molecule counting-based biosensors.

Abstract
Gene knock-out (KO) mouse models for DNA polymerase beta (Polβ) revealed that loss of Polβ leads to neonatal lethality, highlighting the critical organismic role for this DNA polymerase. While biochemical analysis and gene KO cell lines have confirmed its biochemical role in base excision repair and in TET-mediated demethylation, more long-lived mouse models continue to be developed to further define its organismic role. The Polb-KO mouse was the first of the Cre-mediated tissue-specific KO mouse models. This technology was exploited to investigate roles for Polβ in V(D)J recombination (variable-diversity-joining rearrangement), DNA demethylation, gene complementation, SPO11-induced DNA double-strand break repair, germ cell genome stability, as well as neuronal differentiation, susceptibility to genotoxin-induced DNA damage, and cancer onset. The revolution in knock-in (KI) mouse models was made possible by CRISPR/cas9-mediated gene editing directly in C57BL/6 zygotes. This technology has helped identify phenotypes associated with germline or somatic mutants of Polβ. Such KI mouse models have helped uncover the importance of key Polβ active site residues or specific Polβ enzyme activities, such as the PolbY265C mouse that develops lupus symptoms. More recently, we have used this KI technology to mutate the Polb gene with two codon changes, yielding the PolbL301R/V303R mouse. In this KI mouse model, the expressed Polβ protein cannot bind to its obligate heterodimer partner, Xrcc1. Although the expressed mutant Polβ protein is proteolytically unstable and defective in recruitment to sites of DNA damage, the homozygous PolbL301R/V303R mouse is viable and fertile, yet small in stature. We expect that this and additional targeted mouse models under development are poised to reveal new biological and organismic roles for Polβ.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) requires a coordination from gap filling by DNA polymerase (pol) β to subsequent nick sealing by DNA ligase (LIG) IIIα at downstream steps of the repair pathway. X-ray cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1), a non-enzymatic scaffolding protein, forms repair complexes with polβ and LIGIIIα. Yet, the impact of the polβ mutations that affect XRCC1 interaction and protein stability on the repair pathway coordination during nick sealing by LIGIIIα remains unknown. Our results show that the polβ colon cancer-associated variant T304 exhibits a reduced interaction with XRCC1 and the mutations in the interaction interface of V303 loop (L301R/V303R/V306R) and at the lysine residues (K206A/K244A) that prevent ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the protein exhibit a diminished repair protein complex formation with XRCC1. Furthermore, we demonstrate no significant effect on gap and nick DNA binding affinity of wild-type polβ by these mutations. Finally, our results reveal that XRCC1 leads to an efficient channeling of nick repair products after nucleotide incorporation by polβ variants to LIGIIIα, which is compromised by the L301R/V303R/V306R and K206A/K244A mutations. Overall, our findings provide insight into how the mutations in the polβ/XRCC1 interface and the regions affecting protein stability could dictate accurate BER pathway coordination at the downstream steps involving nick sealing by LIGIIIα.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) generates gapped DNA intermediates containing a 5'-terminal 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate (5'-dRP) group. In mammalian cells, gap filling and dRP removal are catalyzed by Pol β, which belongs to the X family of DNA polymerases. In higher plants, the only member of the X family of DNA polymerases is Pol λ. Although it is generally believed that plant Pol λ participates in BER, there is limited experimental evidence for this hypothesis. Here we have characterized the biochemical properties of Arabidopsis thaliana Pol λ (AtPol λ) in a BER context, using a variety of DNA repair intermediates. We have found that AtPol λ performs gap filling inserting the correct nucleotide, and that the rate of nucleotide incorporation is higher in substrates containing a C in the template strand. Gap filling catalyzed by AtPol λ is most efficient with a phosphate at the 5'-end of the gap and is not inhibited by the presence of a 5'-dRP mimic. We also show that AtPol λ possesses an intrinsic dRP lyase activity that is reduced by mutations at two lysine residues in its 8-kDa domain, one of which is present in Pol λ exclusively and not in any Pol β homolog. Importantly, we also found that the dRP lyase activity of AtPol λ allows efficient completion of uracil repair in a reconstituted short-patch BER reaction. These results suggest that AtPol λ plays an important role in plant BER.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major pathway to deal with bulky adducts induced by various environmental toxins in all cellular organisms. The two sub-pathways of NER, global genome repair (GGR) and transcription-coupled repair (TCR), differ in the damage recognition modes. In this review, we describe the molecular mechanism of NER in mammalian cells, especially the details of damage recognition steps in both sub-pathways. We also introduce new sequencing methods for genome-wide mapping of NER, as well as recent advances about NER in chromatin by these methods. Finally, the roles of NER factors in repairing oxidative damages and resolving R-loops are discussed.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is the main pathway protecting cells from the continuous damage to DNA inflicted by reactive oxygen species. BER is initiated by DNA glycosylases, each of which repairs a particular class of base damage. NTHL1, a bifunctional DNA glycosylase, possesses both glycolytic and β-lytic activities with a preference for oxidized pyrimidine substrates. Defects in human NTHL1 drive a class of polyposis colorectal cancer. We report the first X-ray crystal structure of hNTHL1, revealing an open conformation not previously observed in the bacterial orthologs. In this conformation, the six-helical barrel domain comprising the helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) DNA binding motif is tipped away from the iron sulphur cluster-containing domain, requiring a conformational change to assemble a catalytic site upon DNA binding. We found that the flexibility of hNTHL1 and its ability to adopt an open configuration can be attributed to an interdomain linker. Swapping the human linker sequence for that of Escherichia coli yielded a protein chimera that crystallized in a closed conformation and had a reduced activity on lesion-containing DNA. This large scale interdomain rearrangement during catalysis is unprecedented for a HhH superfamily DNA glycosylase and provides important insight into the molecular mechanism of hNTHL1.

DNA Repair in Haploid Context. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212418.

Abstract
DNA repair is a well-covered topic as alteration of genetic integrity underlies many pathological conditions and important transgenerational consequences. Surprisingly, the ploidy status is rarely considered although the presence of homologous chromosomes dramatically impacts the repair capacities of cells. This is especially important for the haploid gametes as they must transfer genetic information to the offspring. An understanding of the different mechanisms monitoring genetic integrity in this context is, therefore, essential as differences in repair pathways exist that differentiate the gamete’s role in transgenerational inheritance. Hence, the oocyte must have the most reliable repair capacity while sperm, produced in large numbers and from many differentiation steps, are expected to carry de novo variations. This review describes the main DNA repair pathways with a special emphasis on ploidy. Differences between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe are especially useful to this aim as they can maintain a diploid and haploid life cycle respectively.

Abstract
Ulva lactuca (U. lactuca) is a green alga distributed worldwide and used as a food and cosmetic material. In our previous study, we determined the effects of U. lactuca methanol extracts on the UVB-induced DNA repair. In the present study, we fractionated U. lactuca methanol extracts to identify the effective compound for the DNA repair. MTT assay demonstrated that (+)-epiloliolide showed no cytotoxicity up to 100 μM in BJ-5ta human dermal fibroblast. Upon no treatment, exposure to UVB 400 J/m2 decreased cell viability by 45%, whereas (+)-epiloliolide treatment for 24 h after UVB exposure significantly increased the cell viability. In GO and GESA analysis, a number of differentially expressed genes were uniquely expressed in (+)-epiloliolide treated cells, which were enriched in the p53 signaling pathway and excision repair. Immunofluorescence demonstrated that (+)-epiloliolide increased the nuclear localization of p53. Comet assay demonstrated that (+)-epiloliolide decreased tail moment increased by UVB. Western blot analysis demonstrated that (+)-epiloliolide decreased the levels of p-p53, p21, Bax, and Bim, but increased that of Bcl-2. Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) demonstrated that (+)-epiloliolide decreased the levels of MMP 1, 9, and 13, but increased that of COL1A1. These results suggest that (+)-epiloliolide regulates p53 activity and has protective effects against UVB.

The scaffold protein XRCC1 stabilizes the formation of polβ/gap DNA and ligase IIIα/nick DNA complexes in base excision repair. J Biol Chem 2021; 297:101025.

Abstract
The base excision repair (BER) pathway involves gap filling by DNA polymerase (pol) β and subsequent nick sealing by ligase IIIα. X-ray cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1), a nonenzymatic scaffold protein, assembles multiprotein complexes, although the mechanism by which XRCC1 orchestrates the final steps of coordinated BER remains incompletely defined. Here, using a combination of biochemical and biophysical approaches, we revealed that the polβ/XRCC1 complex increases the processivity of BER reactions after correct nucleotide insertion into gaps in DNA and enhances the handoff of nicked repair products to the final ligation step. Moreover, the mutagenic ligation of nicked repair intermediate following polβ 8-oxodGTP insertion is enhanced in the presence of XRCC1. Our results demonstrated a stabilizing effect of XRCC1 on the formation of polβ/dNTP/gap DNA and ligase IIIα/ATP/nick DNA catalytic ternary complexes. Real-time monitoring of protein–protein interactions and DNA-binding kinetics showed stronger binding of XRCC1 to polβ than to ligase IIIα or aprataxin, and higher affinity for nick DNA with undamaged or damaged ends than for one nucleotide gap repair intermediate. Finally, we demonstrated slight differences in stable polβ/XRCC1 complex formation, polβ and ligase IIIα protein interaction kinetics, and handoff process as a result of cancer-associated (P161L, R194W, R280H, R399Q, Y576S) and cerebellar ataxia-related (K431N) XRCC1 variants. Overall, our findings provide novel insights into the coordinating role of XRCC1 and the effect of its disease-associated variants on substrate-product channeling in multiprotein/DNA complexes for efficient BER.

Abstract
G:C sites distant from 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (G O, 8-hydroxyguanine) are frequently mutated when the lesion-bearing plasmid DNA is replicated in human cells with reduced Werner syndrome (WRN) protein. To detect the untargeted mutations preferentially, the oxidized guanine base was placed downstream of the reporter supF gene and the plasmid DNA was introduced into WRN-knockdown cells. The total mutant frequency seemed higher in the WRN-knockdown cells as compared to the control cells. Mutation analyses revealed that substitution mutations occurred at the G:C pairs of 5'-GpA-3'/5'-TpC-3' sites, the preferred sequence for the apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (APOBEC3)-family cytosine deaminases, in the supF gene in both control and knockdown cells. These mutations were observed more frequently at G sites than C sites on the DNA strand where the G O base was originally located. This tendency was promoted by the knockdown of the WRN protein. The present results imply the possible involvement of APOBEC3-family cytosine deaminases in the action-at-a-distance (untargeted) mutations at G:C (or G) sites induced by G O and in cancer initiation by oxidative stress.

Abstract
The seed of life is concealed in the base sequence in DNA. This macromolecule is continuously exposed to harmful factors which can cause it damage. The stability of genetic information depends on the protein efficiency of repair systems. Glycosylases are the scouts which recognize and remove damaged bases. Their efficiency depends on how rapidly they recognize DNA lesions. One theory states that charge transfer is involved in protein cross talking through ds-DNA. For these reasons a comparative analysis of ds-oligo containing a mismatched base pair dA:::dG and a damaged dA::dGOXO is proposed. Additionally, the electronic properties of the short ds-oligo in the context of non-equilibrated and equilibrated solvent modes were taken into theoretical consideration. All energetic calculations were performed at the M062x/6-31++G** level of theory, while for geometry optimized ONIOM methodology was used. The lowest adiabatic ionization potential was assigned for DNA containing a dA:dGOXO pair. Moreover, the adiabatic electron affinity was assigned at the same level for the mismatched and lesioned ds-oligo. Surprisingly, in the non-equilibrated mode, a significantly higher vertical electro affinity was found for lesioned DNA. The higher VEA in a non-equilibrated solvent state supported faster recognition in the A:GOXO base pair than A:G by MutY glycosylases under electron transfer mechanism.

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
In their life cycle, plants are exposed to various unfavorable environmental factors including ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the Sun. UV-A and UV-B, which are partially absorbed by the ozone layer, reach the surface of the Earth causing harmful effects among the others on plant genetic material. The energy of UV light is sufficient to induce mutations in DNA. Some examples of DNA damage induced by UV are pyrimidine dimers, oxidized nucleotides as well as single and double-strand breaks. When exposed to light, plants can repair major UV-induced DNA lesions, i.e., pyrimidine dimers using photoreactivation. However, this highly efficient light-dependent DNA repair system is ineffective in dim light or at night. Moreover, it is helpless when it comes to the repair of DNA lesions other than pyrimidine dimers. In this review, we have focused on how plants cope with deleterious DNA damage that cannot be repaired by photoreactivation. The current understanding of light-independent mechanisms, classified as dark DNA repair, indispensable for the maintenance of plant genetic material integrity has been presented.

Lost in the Crowd: How Does Human 8-Oxoguanine DNA Glycosylase 1 (OGG1) Find 8-Oxoguanine in the Genome? Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21218360.

Abstract
The most frequent DNA lesion resulting from an oxidative stress is 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). 8-oxoG is a premutagenic base modification due to its capacity to pair with adenine. Thus, the repair of 8-oxoG is critical for the preservation of the genetic information. Nowadays, 8-oxoG is also considered as an oxidative stress-sensor with a putative role in transcription regulation. In mammalian cells, the modified base is excised by the 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), initiating the base excision repair (BER) pathway. OGG1 confronts the massive challenge that is finding rare occurrences of 8-oxoG among a million-fold excess of normal guanines. Here, we review the current knowledge on the search and discrimination mechanisms employed by OGG1 to find its substrate in the genome. While there is considerable data from in vitro experiments, much less is known on how OGG1 is recruited to chromatin and scans the genome within the cellular nucleus. Based on what is known of the strategies used by proteins searching for rare genomic targets, we discuss the possible scenarios allowing the efficient detection of 8-oxoG by OGG1.

Abstract
Exposure of skin cells to UV radiation results in DNA damage, which if inadequately repaired, may cause mutations. UV-induced DNA damage and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species also cause local and systemic suppression of the adaptive immune system. Together, these changes underpin the development of skin tumours. The hormone derived from vitamin D, calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) and other related compounds, working via the vitamin D receptor and at least in part through endoplasmic reticulum protein 57 (ERp57), reduce cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and oxidative DNA damage in keratinocytes and other skin cell types after UV. Calcitriol and related compounds enhance DNA repair in keratinocytes, in part through decreased reactive oxygen species, increased p53 expression and/or activation, increased repair proteins and increased energy availability in the cell when calcitriol is present after UV exposure. There is mitochondrial damage in keratinocytes after UV. In the presence of calcitriol, but not vehicle, glycolysis is increased after UV, along with increased energy-conserving autophagy and changes consistent with enhanced mitophagy. Reduced DNA damage and reduced ROS/RNS should help reduce UV-induced immune suppression. Reduced UV immune suppression is observed after topical treatment with calcitriol and related compounds in hairless mice. These protective effects of calcitriol and related compounds presumably contribute to the observed reduction in skin tumour formation in mice after chronic exposure to UV followed by topical post-irradiation treatment with calcitriol and some, though not all, related compounds.

Abstract
Oxidatively generated damage to DNA frequently appears in the human genome as the effect of aerobic metabolism or as the result of exposure to exogenous oxidizing agents, such as ionization radiation. In this paper, the electronic properties of single, tandem, and clustered DNA damage in comparison with native ds-DNA are discussed as a comparative analysis for the first time. A single lesion—8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (Goxo), a tandem lesion—(5′S) and (5′R) 5′,8-cyclo-2′-deoxyadenosine (cdA), and the presence of both of them in one helix turn as clustered DNA damage were chosen and taken into consideration. The lowest vertical and adiabatic potential (VIP ~ 5.9 and AIP ~ 5.5 eV, respectively) were found for Goxo, independently of the discussed DNA lesion type and their distribution within the double helix. Moreover, the VIP and AIP were assigned for ds-trimers, ds- dimers and single base pairs isolated from parental ds-hexamers in their neutral and cationic forms. The above results were confirmed by the charge and spin density population, which revealed that Goxo can be considered as a cation radical point of destination independently of the DNA damage type (single, tandem, or clustered). Additionally, the different influences of cdA on the charge transfer rate were found and discussed in the context of tandem and clustered lesions. Because oligonucleotide lesions are effectively produced as a result of ionization factors, the presented data in this article might be valuable in developing a new scheme of anticancer radiotherapy efficiency.

Abstract
Base excision repair, which is initiated by the DNA N-glycosylase proteins, is the frontline for repairing potentially mutagenic DNA base damage. Several base excision repair genes are deregulated in cancer and affect cellular outcomes to chemotherapy and carcinogenesis. Endonuclease VIII-like 3 (NEIL3) is a DNA glycosylase protein that is involved in oxidative and interstrand crosslink DNA damage repair. Our previous work has showed that NEIL3 is required to maintain replication fork integrity. It is unknown whether NEIL3 overexpression could contribute to cancer phenotypes, and its prognostic value and use as potential drug target remain unexplored. Our analysis of cancer genomics data sets reveals that NEIL3 frequently undergoes overexpression in several cancers. Furthermore, patients who exhibited NEIL3 overexpression with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, lower grade glioma, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, and kidney papillary cell carcinoma had worse overall survival. Importantly, NEIL3 overexpressed tumors accumulate mutation and chromosomal variations. Furthermore, NEIL3 overexpressed tumors exhibit simultaneous overexpression of homologous recombination genes (BRCA1/2) and mismatch repair genes (MSH2/MSH6). However, NEIL3 overexpression is negatively correlated with tumor overexpressing nucleotide excision repair genes (XPA, XPC, ERCC1/2). Our results suggest that NEIL3 might be a potential prognosis marker for high-risk patients, and/or an attractive therapeutic target for selected cancers.

Abstract
Methylated cytosines deaminate at higher rates than unmethylated cytosines, and the lesions they produce are repaired less efficiently. As a result, methylated cytosines are mutational hotspots. Here, combining rare polymorphism and base-resolution methylation data in humans, Arabidopsis thaliana, and rice (Oryza sativa), we present evidence that methylation state affects mutation dynamics not only at the focal cytosine but also at neighboring nucleotides. In humans, contrary to prior suggestions, we find that nucleotides in the close vicinity (±3 bp) of methylated cytosines mutate less frequently. Reduced mutability around methylated CpGs is also observed in cancer genomes, considering single nucleotide variants alongside tissue-of-origin-matched methylation data. In contrast, methylation is associated with increased neighborhood mutation risk in A. thaliana and rice. The difference in neighborhood mutation risk is less pronounced further away from the focal CpG and modulated by regional GC content. Our results are consistent with a model where altered risk at neighboring bases is linked to lesion formation at the focal CpG and subsequent long-patch repair. Our findings indicate that cytosine methylation has a broader mutational footprint than is commonly assumed.

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
DNA ligases are a highly conserved group of nucleic acid enzymes that play an essential role in DNA repair, replication, and recombination. This review focuses on functional interaction between DNA polymerases and DNA ligases in the repair of single- and double-strand DNA breaks, and discusses the notion that the substrate channeling during DNA polymerase-mediated nucleotide insertion coupled to DNA ligation could be a mechanism to minimize the release of potentially mutagenic repair intermediates. Evidence suggesting that DNA ligases are essential for cell viability includes the fact that defects or insufficiency in DNA ligase are casually linked to genome instability. In the future, it may be possible to develop small molecule inhibitors of mammalian DNA ligases and/or their functional protein partners that potentiate the effects of chemotherapeutic compounds and improve cancer treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Infections contribute to carcinogenesis through inflammation-related mechanisms. H. pylori infection is a significant risk factor for gastric carcinogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism by which H. pylori infection contributes to carcinogenesis has not been fully elucidated. H. pylori-associated chronic inflammation is linked to genomic instability via reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). In this article, we summarize the current knowledge of H. pylori-induced double strand breaks (DSBs). Furthermore, we provide mechanistic insight into how processing of oxidative DNA damage via base excision repair (BER) leads to DSBs. We review recent studies on how H. pylori infection triggers NF-κB/inducible NO synthase (iNOS) versus NF-κB/nucleotide excision repair (NER) axis-mediated DSBs to drive genomic instability. This review discusses current research findings that are related to mechanisms of DSBs and repair during H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Abasic (apurinic/apyrimidinic, AP) sites in DNA arise from spontaneous base loss or by enzymatic removal during base excision repair. It is commonly accepted that both classes of AP site have analogous biochemical properties and are equivalent substrates for AP endonucleases and AP lyases, although the relative roles of these two types of enzymes are not well understood. We provide here genetic and biochemical evidence that, in Arabidopsis, AP sites generated by spontaneous loss of N7-methylguanine (N7-meG) are exclusively repaired through an AP endonuclease-independent pathway initiated by FPG, a bifunctional DNA glycosylase with AP lyase activity. Abasic site incision catalyzed by FPG generates a single-nucleotide gap with a 3'-phosphate terminus that is processed by the DNA 3'-phosphatase ZDP before repair is completed. We further show that the major AP endonuclease in Arabidopsis (ARP) incises AP sites generated by enzymatic N7-meG excision but, unexpectedly, not those resulting from spontaneous N7-meG loss. These findings, which reveal previously undetected differences between products of enzymatic and nonenzymatic base release, may shed light on the evolution and biological roles of AP endonucleases and AP lyases.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and recommended phase II dose of the base excision repair blocker methoxyamine combined with fludarabine. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a phase I study with intravenous fludarabine (25 mg/m2, days 1-5), and methoxyamine (15 mg/m2-120 mg/m2, once). A maximum of six cycles were given. Adult patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies, excluding acute myeloid leukemia, were eligible. RESULTS Twenty patients were treated; diagnoses included CLL/SLL (n = 10), follicular lymphoma (n = 3), DLBCL (n = 3), mantle cell lymphoma (n = 1), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (n = 1) and plasma cell myeloma (n = 2). No DLTs were observed and dose escalation reached the maximum planned dose. Hematologic toxicity was frequent; most common grade 3-4 toxicities were lymphopenia (70%), neutropenia (60%), leukopenia (50%) and anemia (40%). Four patients achieved a partial remission and 8 achieved stable disease. The drug combination resulted in increased DNA damage measured with the Comet assay. CONCLUSIONS Methoxyamine combined with fludarabine was safe and well tolerated. Hematologic toxicity was comparable to single agent fludarabine. Activity appears to correlate with increased levels of DNA damage. Further studies will examine use of this combination of as part conditioning regimens of stem cell transplant and use of methoxyamine as fludarabine dose-sparing agent.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is one of the most frequently used cellular DNA repair mechanisms and modulates many human pathophysiological conditions related to DNA damage. Through live cell and in vitro reconstitution experiments, we have discovered a major sub-pathway of conventional long-patch BER that involves formation of a 9-nucleotide gap 5' to the lesion. This new sub-pathway is mediated by RECQ1 DNA helicase and ERCC1-XPF endonuclease in cooperation with PARP1 poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and RPA The novel gap formation step is employed during repair of a variety of DNA lesions, including oxidative and alkylation damage. Moreover, RECQ1 regulates PARP1 auto-(ADP-ribosyl)ation and the choice between long-patch and single-nucleotide BER, thereby modulating cellular sensitivity to DNA damage. Based on these results, we propose a revised model of long-patch BER and a new key regulation point for pathway choice in BER.

Repair of oxidatively induced DNA damage by DNA glycosylases: Mechanisms of action, substrate specificities and excision kinetics. MUTATION RESEARCH-REVIEWS IN MUTATION RESEARCH 2017; 771:99-127.

Abstract
Endogenous and exogenous reactive species cause oxidatively induced DNA damage in living organisms by a variety of mechanisms. As a result, a plethora of mutagenic and/or cytotoxic products are formed in cellular DNA. This type of DNA damage is repaired by base excision repair, although nucleotide excision repair also plays a limited role. DNA glycosylases remove modified DNA bases from DNA by hydrolyzing the glycosidic bond leaving behind an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site. Some of them also possess an accompanying AP-lyase activity that cleaves the sugar-phosphate chain of DNA. Since the first discovery of a DNA glycosylase, many studies have elucidated the mechanisms of action, substrate specificities and excision kinetics of these enzymes present in all living organisms. For this purpose, most studies used single- or double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides with a single DNA lesion embedded at a defined position. High-molecular weight DNA with multiple base lesions has been used in other studies with the advantage of the simultaneous investigation of many DNA base lesions as substrates. Differences between the substrate specificities and excision kinetics of DNA glycosylases have been found when these two different substrates were used. Some DNA glycosylases possess varying substrate specificities for either purine-derived lesions or pyrimidine-derived lesions, whereas others exhibit cross-activity for both types of lesions. Laboratory animals with knockouts of the genes of DNA glycosylases have also been used to provide unequivocal evidence for the substrates, which had previously been found in in vitro studies, to be the actual substrates in vivo as well. On the basis of the knowledge gained from the past studies, efforts are being made to discover small molecule inhibitors of DNA glycosylases that may be used as potential drugs in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Oxidative stress in cells can lead to accumulation of reactive oxygen species and oxidation of DNA precursors. Oxidized purine nucleotides can be inserted into DNA during replication and repair. The main pathway for correcting oxidized bases in DNA is base excision repair (BER), and in vertebrates DNA polymerase β (pol β) provides gap filling and tailoring functions. Here we report that the DNA ligation step of BER is compromised after pol β insertion of oxidized purine nucleotides into the BER intermediate in vitro. These results suggest the possibility that BER mediated toxic strand breaks are produced in cells under oxidative stress conditions. We observe enhanced cytotoxicity in oxidizing-agent treated pol β expressing mouse fibroblasts, suggesting formation of DNA strand breaks under these treatment conditions. Increased cytotoxicity following MTH1 knockout or treatment with MTH1 inhibitor suggests the oxidation of precursor nucleotides. Oxidative stress in cells leads to the oxidations of DNA precursors. Here the authors show that these oxidized precursors can be incorporated in vivo during base excision repair, leading to DNA breaks and cytotoxicity.

Abstract
DNA repair is critical to maintain genome stability. In eukaryotic cells, DNA repair is complicated by the packaging of the DNA 'substrate' into chromatin. DNA repair pathways utilize different mechanisms to overcome the barrier presented by chromatin to efficiently locate and remove DNA lesions in the genome. DNA excision repair pathways are responsible for repairing a majority of DNA lesions arising in the genome. Excision repair pathways include nucleotide excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER), which repair bulky and non-bulky DNA lesions, respectively. Numerous studies have suggested that chromatin inhibits both NER and BER in vitro and in vivo Growing evidence demonstrates that histone modifications have important roles in regulating the activity of NER and BER enzymes in chromatin. Here, we will discuss the roles of different histone modifications and the corresponding modifying enzymes in DNA excision repair, highlighting the role of yeast as a model organism for many of these studies.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) (gestational proteinuric hypertension) is the leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. Although placental endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress are known to contribute to PE, the exact pathological basis for this disorder remains unclear. Previously, we demonstrated that DNA damage at the maternal-fetal interface is more common in the placentas of women with PE than normotensive controls. In this study, we utilized an in vivo comparative study, including 20 preeclamptic women and 8 healthy control subjects, and an in vitro hypoxia/reperfusion model to mimic the effects of oxidative stress at the maternal-fetal interface. We tracked the spatial pattern of expression of 2 base excision repair proteins, 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1) and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease-1 (APE1), at the maternal-fetal interface in response to oxidative stress. In vivo, we found a significant increase in OGG1 and APE1 concentrations in PE placental tissues as compared to normotensive controls ( P < .0001). Further, our in vitro study revealed that OGG1 and APE1 expression is much greater in maternal cells (decidua) than in fetal cells (cytotrophoblasts) of placental tissue subjected to oxidative stress ( P < .0001). Our results suggest that OGG1 and APE1 likely protect decidual cells from oxidative base damage.

Abstract
8-oxo-7,8-dihydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) has high mutagenic potential as it is prone to mispair with deoxyadenine (dA). In order to maintain genomic integrity, post-replicative 8-oxo-dG:dA mispairs are removed through DNA polymerase lambda (Pol λ)-dependent MUTYH-initiated base excision repair (BER). Here, we describe seven novel crystal structures and kinetic data that fully characterize 8-oxo-dG bypass by Pol λ. We demonstrate that Pol λ has a flexible active site that can tolerate 8-oxo-dG in either the anti- or syn-conformation. Importantly, we show that discrimination against the pro-mutagenic syn-conformation occurs at the extension step and identify the residue responsible for this selectivity. This residue acts as a kinetic switch, shunting repair toward long-patch BER upon correct dCMP incorporation, thus enhancing repair efficiency. Moreover, this switch also provides a potential mechanism to increase repair fidelity of MUTYH-initiated BER.

Abstract
Gut microbiota are required for host nutrition, energy balance, and regulating immune homeostasis, however, in some cases, this mutually beneficial relationship becomes twisted (dysbiosis), and the gut flora can incite pathological disorders including colon cancer. Microbial dysbiosis promotes the release of bacterial genotoxins, metabolites, and causes chronic inflammation, which promote oxidative DNA damage. Oxidized DNA base lesions are removed by base excision repair (BER), however, the role of this altered function of BER, as well as microbiota-mediated genomic instability and colon cancer development, is still poorly understood. In this review article, we will discuss how dysbiotic microbiota induce DNA damage, its impact on base excision repair capacity, the potential link of host BER gene polymorphism, and the risk of dysbiotic microbiota mediated genomic instability and colon cancer.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) processes non-helix distorting lesions (e.g., uracils and gaps) and is composed of two subpathways that differ in the number of nucleotides (nts) incorporated during the DNA synthesis step: short patch (SP) repair incorporates 1 nt and long patch (LP) repair incorporates 2–12 nts. This choice for either LP or SP repair has not been analyzed in the context of nucleosomes. Initial studies with uracil located in nucleosome core DNA showed a distinct DNA polymerase extension profile in cell-free extracts that specifically limits extension to 1 nt, suggesting a preference for SP BER. Therefore, we developed an assay to differentiate long and short repair patches in ‘designed’ nucleosomes containing a single-nucleotide gap at specific locations relative to the dyad center. Using cell-free extracts or purified enzymes, we found that DNA lesions in the nucleosome core are preferentially repaired by DNA polymerase β and there is a significant reduction in BER polymerase extension beyond 1 nt, creating a striking bias for incorporation of short patches into nucleosomal DNA. These results show that nucleosomes control the patch size used by BER.

Abstract
DNA demethylation is an essential cellular activity to regulate gene expression; however, the mechanism that triggers DNA demethylation remains unknown. Furthermore, DNA demethylation was recently demonstrated to be induced by oxidative stress without a clear molecular mechanism. In this manuscript, we demonstrated that 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) is the essential protein involved in oxidative stress-induced DNA demethylation. Oxidative stress induced the formation of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). We found that OGG1, the 8-oxoG binding protein, promotes DNA demethylation by interacting and recruiting TET1 to the 8-oxoG lesion. Downregulation of OGG1 makes cells resistant to oxidative stress-induced DNA demethylation, while over-expression of OGG1 renders cells susceptible to DNA demethylation by oxidative stress. These data not only illustrate the importance of base excision repair (BER) in DNA demethylation but also reveal how the DNA demethylation signal is transferred to downstream DNA demethylation enzymes.

Abstract
There is a growing body of evidence indicating that the mechanisms that control genome stability are of key importance in the development and function of the nervous system. The major threat for neurons is oxidative DNA damage, which is repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Functional mutations of enzymes that are involved in the processing of single-strand breaks (SSB) that are generated during BER have been causally associated with syndromes that present important neurological alterations and cognitive decline. In this review, the plasticity of BER during neurogenesis and the importance of an efficient BER for correct brain function will be specifically addressed paying particular attention to the brain region and neuron-selectivity in SSB repair-associated neurological syndromes and age-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
DNA damage is a natural hazard of life. The most common DNA lesions are base, sugar, and single-strand break damage resulting from oxidation, alkylation, deamination, and spontaneous hydrolysis. If left unrepaired, such lesions can become fixed in the genome as permanent mutations. Thus, evolution has led to the creation of several highly conserved, partially redundant pathways to repair or mitigate the effects of DNA base damage. The biochemical mechanisms of these pathways have been well characterized and the impact of this work was recently highlighted by the selection of Tomas Lindahl, Aziz Sancar and Paul Modrich as the recipients of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their seminal work in defining DNA repair pathways. However, how these repair pathways are regulated and interconnected is still being elucidated. This review focuses on the classical base excision repair and strand incision pathways in eukaryotes, considering both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans, and extends to some important questions and challenges facing the field of DNA base damage repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deamination of adenine can occur spontaneously under physiological conditions generating the highly mutagenic lesion, hypoxanthine. This process is enhanced by ROS from exposure of DNA to ionizing radiation, UV light, nitrous acid, or heat. Hypoxanthine in DNA can pair with cytosine which results in A:T to G:C transition mutations after DNA replication. In Escherichia coli, deoxyinosine (hypoxanthine deoxyribonucleotide, dI) is removed through an alternative excision repair pathway initiated by endonuclease V. However, the correction of dI in mammalian cells appears more complex and was not fully understood. RESULTS All four possible dI-containing heteroduplex DNAs, including A-I, C-I, G-I, and T-I were introduced to repair reactions containing extracts from human cells. The repair reaction requires magnesium, dNTPs, and ATP as cofactors. We found G-I was the best substrate followed by T-I, A-I and C-I, respectively. Moreover, judging from the repair requirements and sensitivity to specific polymerase inhibitors, there were overlapping repair activities in processing of dI in DNA. Indeed, a hereditable non-polyposis colorectal cancer cell line (HCT116) demonstrated lower dI repair activity that was partially attributed to lack of mismatch repair. CONCLUSIONS A plasmid-based convenient and non-radioisotopic method was created to study dI repair in human cells. Mutagenic dI lesions processed in vitro can be scored by restriction enzyme cleavage to evaluate the repair. The repair assay described in this study provides a good platform for further investigation of human repair pathways involved in dI processing and their biological significance in mutation prevention.

Abstract
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers are predisposed to develop breast and ovarian cancers, but the reasons for this tissue specificity are unknown. Breast epithelial cells are known to contain elevated levels of oxidative DNA damage, triggered by hormonally driven growth and its effect on cell metabolism. BRCA1- or BRCA2-deficient cells were found to be more sensitive to oxidative stress, modeled by treatment with patho-physiologic concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide exposure leads to oxidative DNA damage induced DNA double strand breaks (DSB) in BRCA-deficient cells causing them to accumulate in S-phase. In addition, after hydrogen peroxide treatment, BRCA deficient cells showed impaired Rad51 foci which are dependent on an intact BRCA1-BRCA2 pathway. These DSB resulted in an increase in chromatid-type aberrations, which are characteristic for BRCA1 and BRCA2-deficient cells. The most common result of oxidative DNA damage induced processing of S-phase DSB is an interstitial chromatid deletion, but insertions and exchanges were also seen in BRCA deficient cells. Thus, BRCA1 and BRCA2 are essential for the repair of oxidative DNA damage repair intermediates that persist into S-phase and produce DSB. The implication is that oxidative stress plays a role in the etiology of hereditary breast cancer.

HSP90 regulates DNA repair via the interaction between XRCC1 and DNA polymerase β. Nat Commun 2014; 5:5513.

Abstract
Cellular DNA repair processes are crucial to maintain genome stability and integrity. In DNA base excision repair, a tight heterodimer complex formed by DNA polymerase β (Polβ) and XRCC1 is thought to facilitate repair by recruiting Polβ to DNA damage sites. Here we show that disruption of the complex does not impact DNA damage response or DNA repair. Instead, the heterodimer formation is required to prevent ubiquitylation and degradation of Polβ. In contrast, the stability of the XRCC1 monomer is protected from CHIP-mediated ubiquitylation by interaction with the binding partner HSP90. In response to cellular proliferation and DNA damage, proteasome and HSP90-mediated regulation of Polβ and XRCC1 alters the DNA repair complex architecture. We propose that protein stability, mediated by DNA repair protein complex formation, functions as a regulatory mechanism for DNA repair pathway choice in the context of cell cycle progression and genome surveillance.

Oxidatively induced DNA damage and its repair in cancer. MUTATION RESEARCH-REVIEWS IN MUTATION RESEARCH 2014; 763:212-45.

Abstract
Oxidatively induced DNA damage is caused in living organisms by endogenous and exogenous reactive species. DNA lesions resulting from this type of damage are mutagenic and cytotoxic and, if not repaired, can cause genetic instability that may lead to disease processes including carcinogenesis. Living organisms possess DNA repair mechanisms that include a variety of pathways to repair multiple DNA lesions. Mutations and polymorphisms also occur in DNA repair genes adversely affecting DNA repair systems. Cancer tissues overexpress DNA repair proteins and thus develop greater DNA repair capacity than normal tissues. Increased DNA repair in tumors that removes DNA lesions before they become toxic is a major mechanism for development of resistance to therapy, affecting patient survival. Accumulated evidence suggests that DNA repair capacity may be a predictive biomarker for patient response to therapy. Thus, knowledge of DNA protein expressions in normal and cancerous tissues may help predict and guide development of treatments and yield the best therapeutic response. DNA repair proteins constitute targets for inhibitors to overcome the resistance of tumors to therapy. Inhibitors of DNA repair for combination therapy or as single agents for monotherapy may help selectively kill tumors, potentially leading to personalized therapy. Numerous inhibitors have been developed and are being tested in clinical trials. The efficacy of some inhibitors in therapy has been demonstrated in patients. Further development of inhibitors of DNA repair proteins is globally underway to help eradicate cancer.

Accumulation of abasic sites induces genomic instability in normal human gastric epithelial cells during Helicobacter pylori infection. Oncogenesis 2014; 3:e128.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection of the human stomach is associated with inflammation that leads to the release of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONs), eliciting DNA damage in host cells. Unrepaired DNA damage leads to genomic instability that is associated with cancer. Base excision repair (BER) is critical to maintain genomic stability during RONs-induced DNA damage, but little is known about its role in processing DNA damage associated with H. pylori infection of normal gastric epithelial cells. Here, we show that upon H. pylori infection, abasic (AP) sites accumulate and lead to increased levels of double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs). In contrast, downregulation of the OGG1 DNA glycosylase decreases the levels of both AP sites and DSBs during H. pylori infection. Processing of AP sites during different phases of the cell cycle leads to an elevation in the levels of DSBs. Therefore, the induction of oxidative DNA damage by H. pylori and subsequent processing by BER in normal gastric epithelial cells has the potential to lead to genomic instability that may have a role in the development of gastric cancer. Our results are consistent with the interpretation that precise coordination of BER processing of DNA damage is critical for the maintenance of genomic stability.
