Running into problems: how cells cope with replicating damaged DNA.
نویسنده
چکیده
The ability of cells to fully and faithfully replicate DNA is essential for preventing genomic instability and cancer. DNA is susceptible to damage both in resting and in actively replicating cells. Thus, genome duplication necessarily involves replication of damaged DNA. The many mechanism cells use to avoid or overcome the problems of replicating an imperfect DNA template are discussed.

Background & Aims: Dendritic cells are the most potent antigen presenting cells in induction or polarization of T-dependent immune responses. In cancerous patients, suppressive or detoured immune responses regard to tumor cells, prevent appropriate functions of dendritic cells. Nowadays, in vitro production, expansion and maturation of dendritic cells in presence of safe maturation factors whi...
متن کاملRNA Repair: Damage Control Dispatch
Damage to DNA is a significant issue for all cells, particularly in cancer where DNA repair commonly fails. It is not widely appreciated that many agents that cause damage to DNA, such as radiation and certain cancer chemotherapy drugs, also damage RNA. Given that there is at least as much RNA in a cell as DNA, wherever DNA is damaged by such agents, RNA is surely damaged as well. When the dama...

Regenerative medicine, deals with functional reconstruction of damaged tissues or organs after severe injuries chronic diseases, while body's natural responses are not sufficient. In this field, stem cells due to their exclusive potential in self-renewal and differentiation into other cell types, are the main sources of functional cells in regenerative medicine. However, challenges in stem cell...
متن کاملMus81 endonuclease localizes to nucleoli and to regions of DNA damage in human S-phase cells.
Mus81 is a highly conserved substrate specific endonuclease. Human Mus81 cleaves Holliday junctions, replication forks, and 3' flap substrates in vitro, suggesting a number of possible in vivo functions. We show here that the abundance of human Mus81 peaks in S-phase and remains high in cells that have completed DNA replication and that Mus81 is a predominantly nuclear protein, with super accum...
متن کاملSusceptibility to bystander DNA damage is influenced by replication and transcriptional activity
Direct cellular DNA damage may lead to genome destabilization in unexposed, bystander, cells sharing the same milieu with directly damaged cells by means of the bystander effect. One proposed mechanism involves double strand break (DSB) formation in S phase cells at sites of single strand lesions in the DNA of replication complexes, which has a more open structure compared with neighboring DNA....
