ATAD5, the human ortholog of yeast Elg1, plays a role in PCNA deubiquitination. Since PCNA modification is important to regulate DNA damage bypass, ATAD5 may be important for suppression of genomic instability in mammals in vivo. To test this hypothesis, we generated heterozygous (Atad5(+/m)) mice that were haploinsuffficient for Atad5. Atad5(+/m) mice displayed high levels of genomic instabili...
The ability of ionizing radiation to initiate genomic instability has been harnessed in the clinic where the localized delivery of controlled doses of radiation is used to induce cell death in tumor cells. Though very effective as a therapy, tumor relapse can occur in vivo and its appearance has been attributed to the radio-resistance of cells with stem cell-like features. The molecular mechani...
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are highly conserved among all organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. In mice, the HSP genes Hsp70.1 and Hsp70.3 are induced by both endogenous and exogenous stressors, such as heat and toxicants. In order to determine whether such proteins specifically influence genomic instability, mice deficient for Hsp70.1 and Hsp70.3 (Hsp70.1/3(-/-) mice) were generated by gen...
Three stochastic models of genomic instability recently developed by Little and Wright (Math. Biosci., (2003) 183, 111-34), with two, three and five stages, and the two-stage genomic instability model of Nowak et al. (Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, (2002) 99, 16226-16231) are compared with the four-stage model proposed by Luebeck and Moolgavkar (Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, (2002) 99, 15095-15100) th...
OBJECTIVE To report a more quantitative approach to study the influence of varying levels of sperm DNA damage on transgenerational changes in genomic instability in a mouse model. DESIGN Experimental prospective study. SETTING Embryology research laboratory. ANIMAL(S) Swiss albino mice. INTERVENTION(S) The sperm DNA damage was induced by different doses of gamma-irradiation to male mice...
Radiation induced genomic instability is a well-studied phenomenon, the underlying mechanisms of which are poorly understood. Persistent oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated cytokine levels and epigenetic changes are among the mechanisms invoked in the perpetuation of the phenotype. To determine whether epigenetic aberrations affect genomic instability we measured DNA methylati...
Some environmental mutagenic agents cause genomic instability and increase susceptibility of DNA damage. One of them is mitomycin C which is connected to DNA as an alkylating factor and affects susceptible cells to reduction reactions. This drug is used in chemotherapy and treatment of tumors. Study of genomic instability in the presence of different concentrations of MMC can show susceptibilit...
Genome instability, defined as higher than normal rates of mutation, is a double-edged sword. As a source of genetic diversity and natural selection, mutations are beneficial for evolution. On the other hand, genomic instability can have catastrophic consequences for age-related diseases such as cancer. Mutations arise either from inactivation of DNA repair pathways or in a repair-competent bac...
Introduction Blood as well as other normal tissues are unavoidably exposed to ionising radiation during a radiation therapy of tumours. Damage to haematopoietic cells in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy is one of the important side effects and might result in secondary malignancies of the haematopoietic system. Genomic instability induced during radiation therapy might play a role i...
OBJECTIVES To assess the forms and extent of genomic instability in thyroid cancers and colorectal neoplasms and to determine if such measurements could explain the generally excellent prognosis of thyroid malignant neoplasms compared with colon carcinoma. DESIGN Tumor genome analyses. Genomic instability was measured by the following 4 methods, listed in ascending order based on the size of ...
