Abstract
Hypoxia refers to a state of oxygen limitation, which mainly mediates pathological processes in the human body and participates in the regulation of normal physiological processes. In the hypoxic environment, the main regulator of human body homeostasis is the hypoxia-inducible factor family (HIF). HIF can regulate the expression of many hypoxia-induced genes and then participate in various physiological and pathological processes of the human body. Ion-transporting proteins are extremely important types of proteins. Ion-transporting proteins are distributed on cell membranes or organelles and strictly control the inflow or outflow of ions in cells or organelles. Changes in ions in cells are often closely related to extensive physiological and pathological processes in the human body. Numerous studies have confirmed that hypoxia and its regulatory factors can regulate the transcription and expression of ion-transporting protein-related genes. Under hypoxic stress, the regulation and interaction of ion-transporting proteins by hypoxia often leads to diseases of various human systems and even tumors. Using ion-transporting proteins and hypoxia as targets to explore the mechanism of digestive system diseases and targeted therapy is expected to become a new breakthrough point.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal cord contributes to the generation of paclitaxel-related chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Generalizability of TLR4 signaling in oxaliplatin-induced CIPN was tested here. Mechanical hypersensitivity developed in male SD rats by day 1 after oxaliplatin treatment, reached maximum intensity by day 14, and persisted through day 35. Western blot revealed an increase in TLR4 expression in the DRG of oxaliplatin at days 1 and 7 after oxaliplatin treatment. Cotreatment of rats with the TLR4 antagonist lipopolysaccharide derived from Rhodobacter sphaeroides ultrapure or with the nonspecific immunosuppressive minocycline with oxaliplatin resulted in significantly attenuated hyperalgesia on day 7 and 14 compared with rats that received oxaliplatin plus saline vehicle. Immunostaining of DRGs revealed an increase in the number of neurons expressing TLR4, its canonical downstream signal molecules myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) and TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β, at both day 7 and day 14 after oxaliplatin treatment. These increases were blocked by cotreatment with either lipopolysaccharide derived from Rhodobacter sphaeroides or minocycline. Double staining showed the localization of TLR4, MyD88, and TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β in subsets of DRG neurons. Finally, there was no significant difference in oxaliplatin-induced mechanical hypersensitivity between male and female rats when observed for 2 weeks. Furthermore, upregulation of TLR4 was detected in both sexes when tested 14 days after treatment with oxaliplatin. These findings suggest that the activation of TLR4 signaling in DRG neurons is a common mechanism in CIPN induced by multiple cancer chemotherapy agents.

Oxidative DNA Damage and Cisplatin Neurotoxicity Is Exacerbated by Inhibition of OGG1 Glycosylase Activity and APE1 Endonuclease Activity in Sensory Neurons. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031909. [PMID: 35163831 PMCID: PMC8836551 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23031909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Cisplatin can induce peripheral neuropathy, which is a common complication of anti-cancer treatment and negatively impacts cancer survivors during and after completion of treatment; therefore, the mechanisms by which cisplatin alters sensory neuronal function to elicit neuropathy are the subject of much investigation. Our previous work suggests that the DNA repair activity of APE1/Ref-1, the rate-limiting enzyme of the base excision repair (BER) pathway, is critical for neuroprotection against cisplatin. A specific role for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1), the glycosylase that removes the most common oxidative DNA lesion, and putative coordination of OGG1 with APE1/Ref-1 in sensory neurons, has not been investigated. We investigated whether inhibiting OGG1 glycosylase activity with the small molecule inhibitor, TH5487, and/or APE1/Ref-1 endonuclease activity with APE Repair Inhibitor III would alter the neurotoxic effects of cisplatin in sensory neuronal cultures. Sensory neuron function was assessed by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release, as a marker of sensitivity and by neurite outgrowth. Cisplatin altered neuropeptide release in an inverse U-shaped fashion, with low concentrations enhancing and higher concentrations diminishing CGRP release. Pretreatment with BER inhibitors exacerbated the functional effects of cisplatin and enhanced 8oxo-dG and adduct lesions in the presence of cisplatin. Our studies demonstrate that inhibition of OGG1 and APE1 endonuclease activity enhances oxidative DNA damage and exacerbates neurotoxicity, thus limiting oxidative DNA damage in sensory neurons that might alleviate cisplatin-induced neuropathy.

Abstract
Abnormal DNA glycosylases are concerned with the aging process as well as numerous pathologies in humans. Herein, a sensitive fluorescence method utilizing target-induced ligation-dependent tricyclic cascade amplification reaction was developed for the detecting DNA glycosylase activity. The presence of DNA glycosylase triggered the cleavage of damaged base in hairpin substrate, successively activating ligation-dependent strand displacement amplification (SDA) and exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) for the generation of large amount of reporter probes. The resultant reporter probes bound with the signal probes to form stable dsDNA duplexes. And then the signal probes could be digested circularly in the dsDNA duplexes by T7 exonuclease, leading to the generation of an enhanced fluorescence signal. Due to the high efficiency of tricyclic cascade amplification and the low background signal deriving from the inhibition of nonspecific amplification, this method exhibited a detection limit of 0.14 U/mL and a dynamic range from 0.16 to 8.0 U/mL. Moreover, it could be applied for detecting DNA glycosylase activity in human serum with good selectivity and high sensitivity, and even quantifying other types of enzyme with 5'-PO4 residue cleavage product by rationally designing the corresponding substrate. Importantly, this method could be performed in homogenous solution without any complicated separation steps, providing a new strategy for DNA glycosylase-related biomedical research.

Abstract
The poor outcome of patients with non-surgically removable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most frequent type of primary liver cancer, is mainly due to the high refractoriness of this aggressive tumor to classical chemotherapy. Novel pharmacological approaches based on the use of inhibitors of tyrosine kinases (TKIs), mainly sorafenib and regorafenib, have provided only a modest prolongation of the overall survival in these HCC patients. The present review is an update of the available information regarding our understanding of the molecular bases of mechanisms of chemoresistance (MOC) with a significant impact on the response of HCC to existing pharmacological tools, which include classical chemotherapeutic agents, TKIs and novel immune-sensitizing strategies. Many of the more than one hundred genes involved in seven MOC have been identified as potential biomarkers to predict the failure of treatment, as well as druggable targets to develop novel strategies aimed at increasing the sensitivity of HCC to pharmacological treatments.

Abstract
Identification of modifier genes predisposing to breast cancer (BC) phenotype remains a significant challenge and varies with ethnicity. The genetic variability observed in DNA repair genes may modulate the cell's ability to repair the damaged DNA and hence, evaluation of genetic variants in crucial DNA damage repair genes is of clinical importance. We performed the present study to evaluate the role of ERCC2-Lys751Gln, hOGG1-Ser326Cys, and XRCC1-Arg399Gln gene polymorphisms on the risk of BC development and its molecular profile in Indian women. Three non-synonymous variants (rs13181, rs1052133, and rs25487) were genotyped in 464 BC patients and 450 healthy controls. Logistic regression was employed to evaluate the association of genotypes with BC risk. Also, in silico analysis was carried out to map the Arg399Gln variant on the BRCT1 domain of XRCC1 protein. XRCC1 Gln/Gln genotype frequency was significantly elevated in BC patients [odd ratio (OR) = 1.73; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.13-2.65]. No significant association was observed between hOGG1-Ser326Cys and ERCC2-Lys751Gln variants and BC risk. Subgroup analysis revealed that ERCC2-Lys751Gln and XRCC1-Arg399Gln variants contributed towards tumor progression. A positive interaction between the investigated SNPs and BC was revealed by MDR analysis. Arg399Gln variant resulted in a change in the surface charge of XRCC1 protein. The rs25487 variant of XRCC1 might be associated with an elevated risk of BC. Furthermore, we demonstrated that high order gene-gene interaction plays a significant role in BC etiology. Hence, understanding the impact of low penetrant gene polymorphisms might enable a better understanding of the genetic background of breast cancer.

Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance has become a hold back and major clinical challenge in osteosarcoma cancer. The alteration and subcellular distribution of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) has been reported to be involved in chemotherapy resistance in many cancers. Here, we report that the cytoplasmic distribution of APE1 plays a key role in the sensitivity of combination platinum chemotherapy in osteosarcoma. Interestingly, the prevalence of cisplatin-induced DNA damage and apoptosis in low cytoplasmic APE1 osteosarcoma cell lines was higher than in high expression of cytoplasmic APE1 cell lines. Overexpression of cytoplasmic APE1 protected the osteosarcoma cells from CDDP-induced apoptosis. In addition, clinical data also show that the level of cytoplasmic APE1 was negatively associated with sensitivity to combination chemotherapy of cisplatin in osteosarcoma patients. Our findings suggest that cytoplasmic APE1 plays a significant role in chemotherapy resistance. This role is a supplement to the extranuclear function of APE1, and cytoplasmic APE1 expression level could be a promising predictor of platinum treatment prognosis for osteosarcoma patients.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OHP) Induced Peripheral Neurotoxicity (OIPN) is one of the dose-limiting toxicities of the drug and these adverse effects limit cancer therapy with L-OHP, used for colorectal cancer treatment. Acute neurotoxicity consists of symptoms that are the hallmarks of a transient axonal hyperexcitability; chronic neurotoxicity has a clinical picture compatible with a length-dependent sensory neuropathy. Acute OIPN pathogenesis has been linked to sodium voltage-operated channels (Na + VOC) dysfunction and it has been advocated as a possible predisposing factor to chronic neurotoxicity. We tested if topiramate (TPM), a well-known Na + VOC modulator, was able to modify acute as well as chronic OIPN. The project was divided into two parts. In Experiment 1 we tested by means of Nerve Excitability Testing (NET) a cohort of female Wistar rats to assess TPM effects after a single OHP administration (5 mg/kg, iv). In Experiment 2 we assessed TPM effects after chronic OHP treatment (5 mg/kg, 2qw4ws, iv) using NET, nerve conduction studies (NCS), behavioral tests and neuropathology (caudal nerve morphometry and morphology and Intraepidermal Nerve Fiber [IENF] density). In Experiment 1 TPM was able to prevent OHP effects on Na + VOC: OHP treatment induced a highly significant reduction of the sensory nerve's threshold, during the superexcitability period (p-value = 0.008), whereas TPM co-administration prevented this effect. In Experiment 2 we verified that TPM was able to prevent not only acute phenomena, but also to completely prevent chronic OIPN. This latter observation was supported by a multimodal approach: in fact, only OHP group showed altered findings compared to CTRL group at a neurophysiological (proximal caudal nerve sensory nerve action potential [SNAP] amplitude, p-value = 0.001; distal caudal nerve SNAP amplitude, p-value<0.001, distal caudal nerve sensory conduction velocity, p-value = 0.04), behavioral (mechanical threshold, p-value 0.003) and neuropathological levels (caudal nerve fibers density, p-value 0.001; IENF density, p-value <0.001). Our data show that TPM is a promising drug to prevent both acute and chronic OIPN. These findings have a high translational potential, since they were obtained using outcome measures that match clinical practice and TPM is already approved for clinical use being free from detrimental interaction with OHP anticancer properties.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has an established role in the acquisition of therapeutic resistance. Programmed cell death domain 2 (PDCD2) is involved in the progression of multiple types of cancer. However, its mechanism underlying chemoresistance in liver cancer has not been elucidated. In the present study, it was demonstrated that the sorafenib-resistant HepG2 cell line exhibited EMT and multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotypes, and reduced expression of PDCD2, by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), western blot analysis and Cell Counting Kit-8. Annexin V/fluorescein isothiocyanate and cell migration assays further demonstrated that PDCD2 effectively promoted sorafenib-induced cell apoptosis and reduced cell metastasis. Mechanistically, PDCD2 inhibited the expression of Vimentin and increased the expression of E-cadherin in a Snail-dependent manner by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. In conclusion, the present study elucidated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, that PDCD2 sensitizes sorafenib-resistant HepG2 cells to sorafenib by the downregulation of EMT. PDCD2 may serve as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of sorafenib-resistant liver cancer.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy is a well recognised treatment-related toxicity in children with cancer, associated with exposure to neurotoxic chemotherapy agents. Acute damage can occur in sensory, motor, or autonomic neurons, with symptoms that are rarely life threatening, but often severe enough to interfere with function during therapy and after treatment ends. The type of neuropathy and specific symptoms are associated with multiple factors including age at time of therapy, genetic predisposition, chemotherapy type and cumulative dose, and exposure to other agents during therapy. In this Review, we describe the peripheral neuropathy phenotype in children during cancer therapy and among survivors who have completed therapy, to summarise genetic and treatment-related risk factors for neuropathy, and to outline strategies to monitor and detect neuropathy during and after therapy. Additionally, we outline strategies for medical management of neuropathy during treatment and potential rehabilitation interventions to prevent or remediate functional loss.

Abstract
Carboplatin and thalidomide induced neuro-nephrotoxicity. Carboplatin and thalidomide caused inflammation. Carboplatin and thalidomide upregulate tumor suppressor protein p53. Carboplatin and thalidomide disturbed cytokine production. Neuro-and nephroprotective effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin.
The combination of thalidomide and carboplatin is one of the most potent chemotherapeutic strategies for the treatment of cancer. However, limited studies have been conducted on the neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of both chemotherapeutic agents. The aim of our study was to assess the toxicity of thalidomide and carboplatin combination on brain and kidney and investigate the protective effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE). Thalidomide and carboplatin induced up-regulation of the expression of p53, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 in brain and kidney. Acetylcholinesterase, dopamine and serotonin were decreased and norepinephrine was increased. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, nitric oxide, lipid profile, bilirubin and creatinine were elevated, while antioxidants enzymes (GST, GPX, CAT and SOD), total antioxidant capacity and the levels of glutathione were decreased. A microscopic examination showed shrinkage of capillaries, degeneration with pyknotic nuclei, loss of normal structure and neuronal degeneration. GSPE co-treatment with thalidomide and carboplatin reduced their brain and renal damage, oxidative stress, diminished cytokines, p53, neurotransmitters and biochemical parameters, and inhibited brain and renal cell apoptosis. It can be concluded that, the protective effects of GSPE against thalidomide and carboplatin induced-brain and renal damage was associated with the minimization of oxidative stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to examine thiol-disulphide homeostasis in patients with polyneuropathy dominated by diabetic or non-diabetic axonal degeneration. MATERIALS-METHODS Fifty-four patients diagnosed with polyneuropathy dominated by axonal damage and 41 healthy subjects were included in the study. The patients were grouped into two groups according to whether or not they had diabetes. The native thiol and total thiol concentrations were measured with the newly developed automated method. RESULTS While there was no significant difference between the patients with diabetic and non-diabetic polyneuropathy in terms of native thiol and total thiol levels (p > 0.05), the native thiol and total thiol levels of the groups with both diabetic polyneuropathy and non-diabetic polyneuropathy were significantly low compared to the control group (p < 0.01). The level of disulphides in the patients with diabetic polyneuropathy was significantly higher than that of the patients with non-diabetic polyneuropathy and the healthy individuals (p < 0.05). The loss in the sural nerve sensory neural action potential amplitude was positively correlated with the decrease in the levels of both native thiol and total thiol (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION In our study, we observed that the thiol-disulphide balance was also impaired in patients with non-diabetic polyneuropathy similar to patients with diabetic polyneuropathy, and we therefore considered that impaired the thiol-disulphide homeostasis could be the last common path in patients with polyneuropathy with axonal damage, regardless of the aetiology. Therefore, fortification of thiol deficiency with N-acetyl cysteine or alpha-lipoic acid can fix the thiol-disulphide balance and help decelerate the axonal damage.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by a growing number of new cases diagnosed each year that is nearly equal to the number of deaths from this cancer. In a majority of the cases, HCC is associated with the underlying chronic liver disease, and it is diagnosed in advanced stage of disease when curative treatment options are not applicable. Sorafenib is a treatment of choice for patients with performance status 1 or 2 and/or macrovascular invasion or extrahepatic spread, and regorafenib is the only systemic treatment found to provide survival benefit in HCC patients progressing on sorafenib treatment. Other drugs tested in different trials failed to demonstrate any benefit. Disappointing results of numerous trials testing the efficacy of various drugs indicate that HCC has low sensitivity to chemotherapy that is in great part caused by multidrug resistance. Immunotherapy for HCC is a new challenging treatment option and involves immune checkpoint inhibitors/antibody-based therapy and peptide-based vaccines. Another challenging approach is microRNA-based therapy that involves two strategies. The first aims to inhibit oncogenic miRNAs by using miRNA antagonists and the second strategy is miRNA replacement, which involves the reintroduction of a tumor-suppressor miRNA mimetic to restore a loss of function.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is notoriously refractory to chemotherapy because of its tendency to develop multi-drug resistance (MDR), whose various underlying mechanisms make it difficult to target. The calcium signalling pathway is associated with many cellular biological activities, and is also a critical player in cancer. However, its role in modulating tumour MDR remains unclear. In this study, stimulation by doxorubicin, hypoxia and ionizing radiation was used to induce MDR in HCC cells. A sustained aggregation of intracellular calcium was observed upon these stimuli, while inhibition of calcium signalling enhanced the cells' sensitivity to various drugs by attenuating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), Hif1-α signalling and DNA damage repair. The effect of calcium signalling is mediated via transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6), a subtype of calcium-permeable channel. An in vivo xenograft model of HCC further confirmed that inhibiting TRPC6 enhanced the efficacy of doxorubicin. In addition, we deduced that STAT3 activation is a downstream signalling pathway in MDR. Collectively, this study demonstrated that the various mechanisms regulating MDR in HCC cells are calcium dependent through the TRPC6/calcium/STAT3 pathway. We propose that targeting TRPC6 in HCC may be a novel antineoplastic strategy, especially combined with chemotherapy.

Abstract
Production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and integrity of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are crucial in breast cancer progression and metastasis. Therefore, we evaluated the role of mtDNA damage in breast cancer by genetically modulating the DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) in the PyMT transgenic mouse model of mammary tumorigenesis. We generated mice lacking OGG1 (KO), mice overexpressing human OGG1 subunit 1α in mitochondria (Tg), and mice simultaneously lacking OGG1 and overexpressing human OGG1 subunit 1α in mitochondria (KO/Tg). We found that Tg and KO/Tg mice developed significantly smaller tumors than KO and wild-type (WT) mice after 16 weeks. Histologic analysis revealed a roughly 2-fold decrease in the incidence of lung metastases in Tg mice (33.3%) compared to WT mice (62.5%). Furthermore, lungs from Tg mice exhibited nearly a 15-fold decrease in the average number of metastatic foci compared with WT mice (P ≤ 0.05). Primary tumors isolated from Tg mice also demonstrated reduced total and mitochondrial oxidative stress, diminished mtDNA damage, and increased mitochondrial function. Targeting hOGG1 to the mitochondria protected cells from mtDNA damage, resulting in downregulation of HIF1α and attenuated phosphorylation of Akt. Collectively, we demonstrate proof of concept that mtDNA damage results in breast cancer progression and metastasis in vivo. Moreover, our findings offer new therapeutic strategies for modulating the levels of mtDNA repair enzymes to delay or stall metastatic progression.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (PAC) and cisplatin (CIS) are two established chemotherapeutic drugs used in combination for the treatment of various solid tumors. However, the usage of PAC and CIS are limited because of the incidence of their moderate or severe neurotoxic side effects. In this study, we aimed to assess the protective role of salicylic acid (SA) against neurotoxicity caused by PAC and CIS. For this purpose, newborn Sprague Dawley rats were decapitated in sterile atmosphere and primary cortex neuron cultures were established. On the 10th day SA was added into culture plates. PAC and CIS were added on the 12th day. The cytotoxicity was determined by using the MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay. Oxidative alterations were assessed using total antioxidant capacity and total oxidative stress assays in rat primary neuron cell cultures. It was shown that both concentrations of PAC and CIS treatments caused neurotoxicity. Although SA decreased the neurotoxicity by CIS and PAC, it was more effective against the toxicity caused by CIS rather than the toxicity caused by PAC. In conclusion it was clearly revealed that SA decreased the neurotoxic effect of CIS and PAC in vitro.

Abstract
Although chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a dose-limiting side effect of platinum drugs, the mechanisms of this toxicity remain unknown. Previous work in our laboratory suggests that cisplatin-induced CIPN is secondary to DNA damage which is susceptible to base excision repair (BER). To further examine this hypothesis, we studied the effects of cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and carboplatin on cell survival, DNA damage, ROS production, and functional endpoints in rat sensory neurons in culture in the absence or presence of reduced expression of the BER protein AP endonuclease/redox factor-1 (APE1). Using an in situ model of peptidergic sensory neuron function, we examined the effects of the platinum drugs on hind limb capsaicin-evoked vasodilatation. Exposing sensory neurons in culture to the three platinum drugs caused a concentration-dependent increase in apoptosis and cell death, although the concentrations of carboplatin were 10 fold higher than cisplatin. As previously observed with cisplatin, oxaliplatin and carboplatin also increased DNA damage as indicated by an increase in phospho-H2AX and reduced the capsaicin-evoked release of CGRP from neuronal cultures. Both cisplatin and oxaliplatin increased the production of ROS as well as 8-oxoguanine DNA adduct levels, whereas carboplatin did not. Reducing levels of APE1 in neuronal cultures augmented the cisplatin and oxaliplatin induced toxicity, but did not alter the effects of carboplatin. Using an in vivo model, systemic injection of cisplatin (3 mg/kg), oxaliplatin (3 mg/kg), or carboplatin (30 mg/kg) once a week for three weeks caused a decrease in capsaicin-evoked vasodilatation, which was delayed in onset. The effects of cisplatin on capsaicin-evoked vasodilatation were attenuated by chronic administration of E3330, a redox inhibitor of APE1 that serendipitously enhances APE1 DNA repair activity in sensory neurons. These outcomes support the importance of the BER pathway, and particularly APE1, in sensory neuropathy caused by cisplatin and oxaliplatin, but not carboplatin and suggest that augmenting DNA repair could be a therapeutic target for CIPN.

Involvement of DNA damage response pathways in hepatocellular carcinoma. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:153867.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been known as one of the most lethal human malignancies, due to the difficulty of early detection, chemoresistance, and radioresistance, and is characterized by active angiogenesis and metastasis, which account for rapid recurrence and poor survival. Its development has been closely associated with multiple risk factors, including hepatitis B and C virus infection, alcohol consumption, obesity, and diet contamination. Genetic alterations and genomic instability, probably resulted from unrepaired DNA lesions, are increasingly recognized as a common feature of human HCC. Dysregulation of DNA damage repair and signaling to cell cycle checkpoints, known as the DNA damage response (DDR), is associated with a predisposition to cancer and affects responses to DNA-damaging anticancer therapy. It has been demonstrated that various HCC-associated risk factors are able to promote DNA damages, formation of DNA adducts, and chromosomal aberrations. Hence, alterations in the DDR pathways may accumulate these lesions to trigger hepatocarcinogenesis and also to facilitate advanced HCC progression. This review collects some of the most known information about the link between HCC-associated risk factors and DDR pathways in HCC. Hopefully, the review will remind the researchers and clinicians of further characterizing and validating the roles of these DDR pathways in HCC.

Overexpression of DNA ligase III in mitochondria protects cells against oxidative stress and improves mitochondrial DNA base excision repair. DNA Repair (Amst) 2014; 16:44-53.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is the most prominent DNA repair pathway in human mitochondria. BER also results in a temporary generation of AP-sites, single-strand breaks and nucleotide gaps. Thus, incomplete BER can result in the generation of DNA repair intermediates that can disrupt mitochondrial DNA replication and transcription and generate mutations. We carried out BER analysis in highly purified mitochondrial extracts from human cell lines U2OS and HeLa, and mouse brain using a circular DNA substrate containing a lesion at a specific position. We found that DNA ligation is significantly slower than the preceding mitochondrial BER steps. Overexpression of DNA ligase III in mitochondria improved the rate of overall BER, increased cell survival after menadione induced oxidative stress and reduced autophagy following the inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I by rotenone. Our results suggest that the amount of DNA ligase III in mitochondria may be critical for cell survival following prolonged oxidative stress, and demonstrate a functional link between mitochondrial DNA damage and repair, cell survival upon oxidative stress, and removal of dysfunctional mitochondria by autophagy.

Abstract
Recent evidence has linked mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage, increased oxidative stress in skeletal muscle, and insulin resistance (IR). The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the DNA repair enzyme, human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase/apurinic/apyrimidinic lyase (hOGG1), on palmitate-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and IR in primary cultures of skeletal muscle derived from hind limb of ogg1(-/-) knockout mice and transgenic mice, which overexpress human (hOGG1) in mitochondria (transgenic [Tg]/MTS-hOGG1). Following exposure to palmitate, we evaluated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage, mitochondrial function, production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), mitochondrial mass, JNK activation, insulin signaling pathways, and glucose uptake. Palmitate-induced mtDNA damage, mtROS, mitochondrial dysfunction, and activation of JNK were all diminished, whereas ATP levels, mitochondrial mass, insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt (Ser 473), and insulin sensitivity were increased in primary myotubes isolated from Tg/MTS-hOGG1 mice compared to myotubes isolated from either knockout or wild-type mice. In addition, both basal and maximal respiratory rates during mitochondrial oxidation on pyruvate showed a variable response, with some animals displaying an increased respiration in muscle fibers isolated from the transgenic mice. Our results support the model that DNA repair enzyme OGG1 plays a pivotal role in repairing mtDNA damage, and consequently, in mtROS production and regulating downstream events leading to IR in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
PURPOSE Human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) is an ubiquitous protein. It initiates the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway to repair the 8-oxoguanine lesion. This may be associated with chemotherapeutics. In this article, the effect of hOGG1 over-expression on cisplatin resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) EC9706 and ET13 cells was investigated. METHODS Recombinant adenovirus pAd/CMV/V5-DEST-hogg1 and control adenovirus pAd/CMV/5-GW/lacZ were constructed and transferred into EC9706 and ET13 cells, respectively. The protein expression and localization were determined by Western blot and by immunofluorescence assay. The cell growth viability was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5 diphe-nyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and clonogenic survival assay. The apoptotic cells were detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining and flow cytometry. The oxidative DNA damage (8-Hydroxyguanine [8-oxoG] DNA level) was semi-quantified by immunohistochemistry assay. RESULTS The over-expression of hOGG1 protein was mainly in the nucleus in hOGG1 cells. After exposure to a common chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin, hOGG1 over-expression cells exhibited longer survival ability, lower cell apoptosis, and less 8-oxoG oxidative damage, compared with vector-treated cells and no-treated cells (p<0.05). CONCLUSION BER pathway to repair 8-oxoG lesion may be associated with ESCC sensitivity to cisplatin, and over-expression of hOGG1 in the nucleus can repair more 8-oxoG oxidative damage. The findings implied that over-expression of hOGG1 can protect ESCC cells from cisplatin-induced apoptosis and prolong cancer cell survival time. Modulation of DNA damage repair activity in the nucleus or in the mitochondria may lead to a different approach regarding cisplatin-induced resistance to chemotherapy.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathies induced by chemotherapy (CIPN) are an increasingly frequent problem. Contrary to hematologic adverse effects, which can be treated with hematopoetic growth factors, neither prophylaxis nor specific treatment is available, and only symptomatic treatment can be offered. Neurotoxic drugs are becoming a major dose-limiting factor. The epidemiology is still unclear. Several drug-dependent pathogenetic mechanisms exist. CIPN are predominately sensory, length-dependent neuropathies that develop after a typical cumulative dose. Usually, the appearance of CIPN is dose dependent, although in at least 2 drugs (oxaliplatin and taxanes), immediate toxic effects occur. The most frequent substances causing CIPN are platin compounds, vinka alkaloids, taxanes, and bortezomib and thalidomide. The role of synergistic neurotoxicity caused by previously given chemo-therapies and concomitant chemotherapies and the role pre-existent neuropathy on the development of a CIPN is not clear. As the number of long-term cancer survivors increases and a new focus on long-term effects of chemotherapy-induced neuropathies emerge, concepts of rehabilitation need to be implemented to improve the patients' functions and quality of life.

Abstract
A population based case-control study was designed to explore the genetic risk factors for hepatitis B virus (HBV) related liver disease susceptibility. A total of 424 subjects comprising 210 controls, 50 acute HBV (AVH), 84 chronic HBV (CHBV), 25 HBV related cirrhosis and 55 HBV related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases were included in the study. PCR-RFLP was used for the genotyping of Cyp2E1*5B, hOGG1 codon 326 and XRCC1 codon 399. Compared to controls, Cyp2E1 rsaI variant c2 genotype increased the risk of HBV related liver disease severity by 2.68 fold, the highest for HCC cases (3.981 folds, p=0.106); and was associated with higher histology activity index (HAI) (p<0.001) in CHBV patients. Cyp2E1 and hOGG1 variants were independently associated with a significantly higher fibrosis score in CHBV group. Analysis of gene-gene interaction studies showed an increased risk of HCC, cirrhosis and CHBV in a Cyp2E1 variant+XRCC1 variant combination (p<0.001); and hOGG1 variants+XRCC1 variants. A mutually independent heterozygous hOGG1 and XRCC1 combination resulted in a decreased risk of HBV related liver disease. On the other hand, a wild-type hOGG1 and XRCC1 combination was associated with a significantly higher risk of AVH (p=0.010) but a lower risk of CHBV (p=0.032) and HCC (p=0.006). The gene-gene interactions were also associated with a significant increase in HAI and fibrosis score in CHBV patients. Cyp2E1, hOGG1 and XRCC1 genotypes significantly alter the risk of HBV related liver disease susceptibility and severity, independently or through gene-gene interaction.

Abstract
Many bifunctional alkylating agents and anticancer drugs exert their cytotoxicity by producing cross links between the two complementary strands of DNA, termed interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). This blocks the strand separating processes during DNA replication and transcription, which can lead to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Cells use multiple DNA repair systems to eliminate the ICLs. Concerted action of repair proteins involved in Nucleotide Excision Repair and Homologous Recombination pathways are suggested to play a key role in the ICL repair. However, recent studies indicate a possible role for Base Excision Repair (BER) in mediating the cytotoxicity of ICL inducing agents in mammalian cells. Elucidating the mechanism of BER mediated modulation of ICL repair would help in understanding the recognition and removal of ICLs and aid in the development of potential therapeutic agents. In this review, the influence of BER proteins on ICL DNA repair and the possible mechanisms of action are discussed.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA lesions inhibit the transcription of RNA polymerase II, but in the presence of transcription elongation factors, the transcription can bypass the lesions. Single-subunit mitochondrial RNA polymerase (mtRNAP) catalyses the synthesis of essential transcripts in mitochondria where reactive oxidative species (ROS) are generated as by-products. The occurrence of RNA synthesis by mtRNAP at oxidative DNA lesions remains unknown. Purified mtRNAP and a complex of RNA primer/DNA template containing a single DNA lesion, such as ROS-induced 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), two isomeric thymine glycols (5R-Tg or 5S-Tg), the UV-induced cis-syn cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) and the pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproduct (6-4pp), or a spontaneous common DNA lesion, a base-loss-induced apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site, were used for in vitro RNA synthesis assays. In this report, we show that mtRNAP bypassed the oxidative DNA lesions of non-bulky 8-oxoG and 5R-Tg and 5S-Tg with pausing sites but did not bypass the UV-induced DNA lesions and the AP site. The bacteriophage T7 phage RNA polymerase, which is homologous to mtRNAP, bypassed 8-oxoG but stalled at 5R-Tg and 5S-Tg. As expected, although translesion RNA synthesis in 8-oxoG on the DNA templates generated incorrect transcripts with a G:C to T:A transversion, the synthesis in Tg could lead to the correct transcripts with no transcriptional mutagenesis. Collectively, these data suggest that mtRNAP may tolerate the mitochondrial genome containing oxidative DNA lesions induced by ROS from the side effects of an ATP generation reaction.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cisplatin treatment of human prostate cancer cells; hormone-sensitive LNCaP and hormone-refractory PC3 and DU145 cells. Intracellular levels of ROS and H(2)O(2) were measured and visualized using specific fluorescent probes. NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity was detected by lucigenin chemiluminescence assay. Expression levels of NOX isoforms were determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Cisplatin treatment increased the intracellular levels of ROS and H(2)O(2) in three prostate cancer cell lines. The increase was transient and robust in hormone-sensitive LNCaP cells compared with hormone-refractory PC3 and DU145 cells. Consistent with these findings, the NOX activity induced by cisplatin was higher in LNCaP cells than in PC3 and DU145 cells. Expression pattern of NOX isoforms varied among three cell lines and the NOX activity was independent of NOX expression. Taken together, we have shown that cisplatin induces production of ROS and H(2)O(2) via NOX activation in human prostate cancer cell lines, which is most prominent in hormone-sensitive LNCaP cells.

Abstract
Maintenance of the mitochondrial genome is a major challenge for cells, particularly as they begin to age. Although it is established that organelles possess regular DNA repair pathways, many aspects of these complex processes and of their regulation remain to be investigated. Mitochondrial transfection of isolated organelles and in whole cells with customized DNA synthesized to contain defined lesions has wide prospects for deciphering repair mechanisms in a physiological context. We document here the strategies currently developed to transfer DNA of interest into mitochondria. Methodologies with isolated mitochondria claim to exploit the protein import pathway or the natural competence of the organelles, to permeate the membranes or to use conjugal transfer from bacteria. Besides biolistics, which remains restricted to yeast and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, nanocarriers or fusion proteins have been explored as methods to target custom DNA into mitochondria in intact cells. In further approaches, whole mitochondria have been transferred into recipient cells. Repair failure or error-prone repair leads to mutations which potentially could be rescued by allotopic expression of proteins. The relevance of the different approaches for the analysis of mitochondrial DNA repair mechanisms and of aging is discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondria control essential cellular activities including generation of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in the regulatory D-loop region and somatic mtDNA mutations are common in primary human cancers. The biological impact of a given mutation may vary, depending on the nature of the mutation and the proportion of mutant mtDNAs carried by the cell. Identification of mtDNA mutations in precancerous lesions supports their early contribution to cell transformation and cancer progression. Introduction of mtDNA mutations in transformed cells has been associated with increased ROS production and tumor growth. Studies reveal that increased and altered mtDNA plays a role in the development of cancer but further work is required to establish the functional significance of specific mitochondrial mutations in cancer and disease progression. This review offers some insight into the extent of mtDNA mutations, their functional consequences in tumorigenesis, mitochondrial therapeutics, and future clinical application.

Abstract
Mitochondria play critical roles in oxidative phosphorylation and energy metabolism. Increasing evidence supports that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and dysfunction play vital roles in the development of many mitochondria-related diseases, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, infertility, neurodegenerative disorders, and malignant tumors in humans. Human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) transgenic (TG) mice were produced by nuclear microinjection. Transgene integration was analyzed by PCR. Transgene expression was measured by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Mitochondrial DNA damage was analyzed by mutational analyses and measurement of mtDNA copy number. Total fat content was measured by a whole-body scan using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The hOGG1 overexpression in mitochondria increased the abundance of intracellular free radicals and major deletions in mtDNA. Obesity in hOGG1 TG mice resulted from increased fat content in tissues, produced by hyperphagia. The molecular mechanisms of obesity involved overexpression of genes in the central orexigenic (appetite-stimulating) pathway, peripheral lipogenesis, down-regulation of genes in the central anorexigenic (appetite-suppressing) pathway, peripheral adaptive thermogenesis, and fatty acid oxidation. Diffuse hepatosteatosis, female infertility, and increased frequency of malignant lymphoma were also seen in these hOGG1 TG mice. High levels of hOGG1 expression in mitochondria, resulting in enhanced oxidative DNA damage processing, may be an important factor in human metabolic syndrome, infertility, and malignancy.

Abstract
Retinal mitochondria become dysfunctional in diabetes and the production of superoxide radicals is increased; over-expression of MnSOD abrogates mitochondrial dysfunction and prevents the development of diabetic retinopathy. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is particularly prone to oxidative damage. The aim of this study is to examine the role of MnSOD in the maintenance of mtDNA. The effect of MnSOD mimic, MnTBAP or over-expression of MnSOD on glucose-induced alterations in mtDNA homeostasis and its functional consequence was determined in retinal endothelial cells. Exposure of retinal endothelial cells to high glucose increased mtDNA damage and compromised the DNA repair machinery. The gene expressions of mitochondrial-encoded proteins of the electron transport chain complexes were decreased. Inhibition of superoxide radicals by either MnTBAP or by over-expression of MnSOD prevented mtDNA damage and protected mitochondrial-encoded genes. Thus, the protection of mtDNA from glucose-induced oxidative damage is one of the plausible mechanisms by which MnSOD ameliorates the development of diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1) repairs 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroxyguanine (8-oxoG), one of the most abundant DNA adducts caused by oxidative stress. In the mitochondria, Ogg1 is thought to prevent activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in response to oxidative stress by augmenting DNA repair. However, the predominance of the beta-Ogg1 isoform, which lacks 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase activity, suggests that mitochondrial Ogg1 functions in a role independent of DNA repair. We report here that overexpression of mitochondria-targeted human alpha-hOgg1 (mt-hOgg1) in human lung adenocarcinoma cells with some alveolar epithelial cell characteristics (A549 cells) prevents oxidant-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis by preserving mitochondrial aconitase. Importantly, mitochondrial alpha-hOgg1 mutants lacking 8-oxoG DNA repair activity were as effective as wild-type mt-hOgg1 in preventing oxidant-induced caspase-9 activation, reductions in mitochondrial aconitase, and apoptosis, suggesting that the protective effects of mt-hOgg1 occur independent of DNA repair. Notably, wild-type and mutant mt-hOgg1 coprecipitate with mitochondrial aconitase. Furthermore, overexpression of mitochondrial aconitase abolishes oxidant-induced apoptosis whereas hOgg1 silencing using shRNA reduces mitochondrial aconitase and augments apoptosis. These findings suggest a novel mechanism that mt-hOgg1 acts as a mitochondrial aconitase chaperone protein to prevent oxidant-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis that might be important in the molecular events underlying oxidant-induced toxicity.

Abstract
Anticancer therapy with cisplatin and oxaliplatin is limited by toxicity and onset of tumor resistance. Both drugs form platinum-DNA cross-linked adducts, and cisplatin causes oxidative DNA damage including the 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) lesion. To assess oxidative DNA damage as a mechanism of cisplatin and oxaliplatin cytotoxicity, 8-oxodG-directed base excision repair was stably enhanced in human embryonic kidney cells by FLAG-tagged expression of human oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (alpha-OGG1) or its functional homologue, Escherichia coli formamidopyrimidine glycosylase (fpg). Both drugs increased reactive oxygen species and 8-oxodG levels, and cytotoxicity was decreased by antioxidant pretreatment. Ectopic expression of alpha-OGG1 or fpg in cell clones increased nuclear and mitochondrial 8-oxodG repair, and reduced death by reactive oxygen species initiators (H(2)O(2), menadione) and both platinum drugs. Exposure to oxaliplatin caused a more marked and sustained block of cell proliferation than exposure to cisplatin. We conclude that the 8-oxodG lesion is cytotoxic, and base excision repair a likely determinant of risk. The greater antitumor efficacy of oxaliplatin seems unrelated to oxidative DNA damage, suggesting a novel strategy for improving the therapeutic index in cancer therapy.

APE1 overexpression is associated with cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer and targeted inhibition of APE1 enhances the activity of cisplatin in A549 cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1), a bifunctional AP endonuclease/redox factor, is important in DNA repair and redox signaling, may be associated with chemoresistance. In this study, we first investigated APE1 expression and its correlation with cisplatin resistance and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Then, we investigated the effect of chimeric adenoviral vector Ad5/F35 carrying human APE1 siRNA (Ad5/F35-APE1 siRNA) on the sensitivity of cisplatin in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells. METHODS Tumor specimens from 103 patients with operable NSCLC were obtained from 1999 to 2001. Among these patients, 72 patients have been treated with at least three cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy. APE1 protein expression was examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot on the tumor samples and a cultured A549 cell line, respectively. Cell survival and apoptosis were determined by MTT and TUNEL, respectively. RESULTS 83.3% (20/24) cisplatin-resistant tumors showed high APE1 expression levels, while 8.3% (4/48) cisplatin-sensitive tumors showed high APE1 expression levels (p<0.01). Univariate analysis indicated that overall survival and disease-free survival were significantly better in NSCLC patients with low vs those with high APE1 expression levels (p<0.01). Treatment with cisplatin resulted in a dose-dependent increase in APE1 protein expression in A549 cells, and Ad5/F35-APE1 siRNA effectively inhibited APE1 expression. Ad5/F35-APE1 siRNA significantly enhanced sensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin, associated with increased cell apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that APE1 is a new promising target for the combination of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in NCSLC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA damage by endogenous or exogenous source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role in induction and progression of various cancers. Physiologically, gallbladder is likely to be exposed to various ROS which leads to extensive DNA damage. Cells overcome the DNA damage by repair mechanisms. Genetic variants of OGG1 and XRCC1, important enzymes participating in base excision repair pathway, may confer interindividual variations in susceptibility to gallbladder cancer (GBC). This study was aimed to examine the role of OGG1 Ser326Cys (rs1052133) and XRCC1 Arg194Trp (C > T) (rs25487) and Arg399Gln (G > A) (rs1799782) polymorphisms in GBC susceptibility. METHODS The study included 173 GBC patients and 204 controls. Genotyping was done by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Differences in the frequencies were estimated by chi-square test and risk was estimated by using unconditional logistic regression after adjusting for age and gender. RESULTS OGG1 Cys/Cys genotype frequency was significantly higher in GBC patients [odds ratio (OR) = 2.93; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.14-7.51]. The increased risk was more pronounced in female GBC patients (OR = 5.92; 95%CI = 1.20-29.13), patients with gallstone (OR = 5.50; 95%CI = 1.99-15.16), female gender, and late onset of disease (OR = 4.72, 95%CI = 1.43-15.53). In XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism, significant differences in frequencies of Gln/Gln and Arg/Gln genotypes conferred significantly low risk for GBC (OR = 0.62; 95%CI = 0.39-0.97 and OR = 0.37; 95%CI = 0.19-0.71 respectively). However, XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism was not associated with GBC. The carriers of Arg-Gln haplotype consisting of 194Arg and 399Gln alleles of XRCC1 were also at significant low risk for GBC (OR = 0.59, 95%CI = 0.42-0.82). Interaction of genotypes and tobacco usage did not modulate the risk. CONCLUSION Results suggest that Cys/Cys genotype of OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism is associated with increased risk of GBC. However, Arg399Gln polymorphism and Arg-Gln haplotype comprising XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms conferred low risk for GBC susceptibility.

Abstract
Vision loss affects >3 million Americans and many more people worldwide. Although predisposing genes have been identified their link to known environmental factors is unclear. In wild-type animals DNA alkylating agents induce photoreceptor apoptosis and severe retinal degeneration. Alkylation-induced retinal degeneration is totally suppressed in the absence of the DNA repair protein alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (Aag) in both differentiating and postmitotic retinas. Moreover, transgenic expression of Aag activity restores the alkylation sensitivity of photoreceptors in Aag null animals. Aag heterozygotes display an intermediate level of retinal degeneration, demonstrating haploinsufficiency and underscoring that Aag expression confers a dominant retinal degeneration phenotype.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy is one of the major side effects of the anticancer drug cisplatin. Although previous work suggests that this neuropathy correlates with formation of DNA adducts in sensory neurons, growing evidence suggests that cisplatin also increases the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which could cause DNA damage. Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease/redox factor-1 (Ape1/Ref-1) is a multifunctional protein involved in DNA base excision repair of oxidative DNA damage and in redox regulation of a number of transcription factors. Therefore, we asked whether altering Ape1 functions would influence cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity. Sensory neurons in culture were exposed to cisplatin for 24 hours and several end points of toxicity were measured, including production of ROS, cell death, apoptosis, and release of the immunoreactive calcitonin gene-related peptide (iCGRP). Reducing expression of Ape1 in neuronal cultures using small interfering RNA (siRNA) enhances cisplatin-induced cell killing, apoptosis, ROS generation, and cisplatin-induced reduction in iCGRP release. Overexpressing wild-type Ape1 attenuates all the toxic effects of cisplatin in cells containing normal endogenous levels of Ape1 and in cells with reduced Ape1 levels after Ape1siRNA treatment. Overexpressing the redox deficient/repair competent C65-Ape1 provides partial rescue, whereas the repair-deficient Ape1 (N226A + R177A) does not protect neurons from cisplatin toxicity. We also observe an increase in phosphorylation of p53 after a decrease in Ape1 levels in sensory neuronal cultures. These results strongly support the notion that Ape1 is a potential translational target such that protecting Ape1 levels and particularly its DNA repair function could reduce peripheral neuropathy in patients undergoing cisplatin treatment.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which aniline exposure elicits splenotoxic response, especially the tumorigenic response, are not well-understood. Splenotoxicity of aniline is associated with iron overload and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can cause oxidative damage to DNA, proteins and lipids (oxidative stress). 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is one of the most abundant oxidative DNA lesions resulting from ROS, and 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1), a specific DNA glycosylase/lyase enzyme, plays a key role in the removal of 8-OHdG adducts. This study focused on examining DNA damage (8-OHdG) and repair (OGG1) in the spleen in an experimental condition preceding a tumorigenic response. To achieve that, male Sprague-Dawley rats were subchronically exposed to aniline (0.5 mmol/kg/day via drinking water for 30 days), while controls received drinking water only. Aniline treatment led to a significant increase in splenic oxidative DNA damage, manifested as a 2.8-fold increase in 8-OHdG levels. DNA repair activity, measured as OGG1 base excision repair (BER) activity, increased by approximately 1.3 fold in the nuclear protein extracts (NE) and approximately 1.2 fold in the mitochondrial protein extracts (ME) of spleens from aniline-treated rats as compared to the controls. Real-time PCR analysis for OGG1 mRNA expression in the spleen revealed a 2-fold increase in expression in aniline-treated rats than the controls. Likewise, OGG1 protein expression in the NEs of spleens from aniline-treated rats was approximately 1.5 fold higher, whereas in the MEs it was approximately 1.3 fold higher than the controls. Aniline treatment also led to stronger immunostaining for both 8-OHdG and OGG1 in the spleens, confined to the red pulp areas. It is thus evident from our studies that aniline-induced oxidative stress is associated with increased oxidative DNA damage. The BER pathway was also activated, but not enough to prevent the accumulation of oxidative DNA damage (8-OHdG). Accumulation of mutagenic oxidative DNA lesions in the spleen following exposure to aniline could play a critical role in the tumorigenic process.
