DNA damage created by endogenous or exogenous genotoxic agents can exist in multiple forms, and if allowed to persist, can promote genome instability and directly lead to various human diseases, particularly cancer, neurological abnormalities, immunodeficiency and premature aging. To avoid such deleterious outcomes, cells have evolved an array of DNA repair pathways, which carry out what is typically a multiple-step process to resolve specific DNA lesions and maintain genome integrity. To fully appreciate the biological contributions of the different DNA repair systems, one must keep in mind the cellular context within which they operate. For example, the human body is composed of non-dividing and dividing cell types, including, in the brain, neurons and glial cells. We describe herein the molecular mechanisms of the different DNA repair pathways, and review their roles in non-dividing and dividing cells, with an eye toward how these pathways may regulate the development of neurological disease. 相似文献

Nepmucin/CLM-9 is an Ig domain-containing sialomucin expressed in vascular endothelial cells. Here we show that, like CD31, nepmucin was localized to interendothelial contacts and to vesicle-like structures along the cell border and underwent intracellular recycling. Functional analyses showed that nepmucin mediated homotypic and heterotypic cell adhesion via its Ig domain. Nepmucin-expressing endothelial cells showed enhanced lymphocyte transendothelial migration (TEM), which was abrogated by anti-nepmucin mAbs that block either homophilic or heterophilic binding. Notably, the mAbs that inhibited homophilic binding blocked TEM without affecting lymphocyte adhesion. These results suggest that endothelial nepmucin promotes lymphocyte TEM using multiple adhesion pathways. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), known to play an important role in vascular homeostasis, vascular integrity and angiogenesis, is little known about the evolutionary relationship of its five members especially the role of gene duplication and natural selection in the evolution of the VEGF family. In this study, seventy-five full-length cDNA sequences from 33 vertebrate species were extracted from the NCBI's GenBank, UniProt protein database and the Ensembl database. By phylogenetic analyses, we investigated the origin, conservation, and evolution of the VEGFs. Five VEGF family members in vertebrates might be formed by gene duplication. The inferred evolutionary transitions that separate members which belong to different gene clusters correlated with changes in functional properties. Selection analysis and protein structure analysis were combined to explain the relationship of the site-specific evolution in the vertebrate VEGF family. Eleven positive selection sites, one transmembrane region and the active sites were detected in this process. 相似文献

In mammalian cells, Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) plays a role in removing DNA damage induced by UV radiation. In Global Genome-NER subpathway, DDB2 protein forms a complex with DDB1 (UV-DDB), recognizing photolesions. During DNA repair, DDB2 interacts directly with PCNA through a conserved region in N-terminal tail and this interaction is important for DDB2 degradation. In this work, we sought to investigate the role of DDB2-PCNA association in DNA repair and cell proliferation after UV-induced DNA damage. To this end, stable clones expressing DDB2Wt and DDB2PCNA- were used. We have found that cells expressing a mutant DDB2 show inefficient photolesions removal, and a concomitant lack of binding to damaged DNA in vitro. Unexpected cellular behaviour after DNA damage, such as UV-resistance, increased cell growth and motility were found in DDB2PCNA- stable cell clones, in which the most significant defects in cell cycle checkpoint were observed, suggesting a role in the new cellular phenotype. Based on these findings, we propose that DDB2-PCNA interaction may contribute to a correct DNA damage response for maintaining genome integrity. 相似文献

The ordered assembly of DNA repair factors on chromatin has been studied in great detail, whereas we are only beginning to realize that selective extraction of proteins from chromatin plays a central role in the DNA damage response. Interestingly, the protein modifier ubiquitin not only regulates the well-documented recruitment of repair proteins, but also governs the temporally and spatially controlled extraction of proteins from DNA lesions. The facilitator of protein extraction is the ubiquitin-dependent ATPase valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97 complex, which, through its segregase activity, directly extracts ubiquitylated proteins from chromatin. In this review, we summarize recent studies that uncovered this important role of VCP/p97 in the cellular response to genomic insults and discuss how ubiquitin regulates two intuitively counteracting activities at sites of DNA damage. 相似文献

Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) acts directly on gastric epithelial cells. However, the roles of CagA in host adaptive immunity against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection are not fully understood. In this study, to investigate the roles of CagA in the development of H. pylori-induced chronic gastritis, we used an adoptive-transfer model in which spleen cells from C57BL/6 mice with or without H. pylori infection were transferred into RAG2−/− mice, with gastric colonization of either CagA+H. pylori or CagA−H. pylori. Colonization of CagA+H. pylori but not CagA−H. pylori in the host gastric mucosa induced severe chronic gastritis in RAG2−/− mice transferred with spleen cells from H. pylori-uninfected mice. In addition, when CagA+H. pylori-primed spleen cells were transferred into RAG2−/− mice, CD4+ T cell infiltration in the host gastric mucosa were observed only in RAG2−/− mice infected with CagA+H. pylori but not CagA−H. pylori, suggesting that colonization of CagA+H. pylori in the host gastric mucosa is essential for the migration of H. pylori-primed CD4+ T cells. On the other hand, transfer of CagA−H. pylori-primed spleen cells into CagA+H. pylori-infected RAG2−/− mice induced more severe chronic gastritis with less Foxp3+ regulatory T-cell infiltration as compared to transfer of CagA+H. pylori-primed spleen cells. In conclusion, CagA in the stomach plays an important role in the migration of H. pylori-primed CD4+ T cells in the gastric mucosa, whereas CagA-dependent T-cell priming induces regulatory T-cell differentiation, suggesting dual roles for CagA in the pathophysiology of H. pylori-induced chronic gastritis. 相似文献

Little is known about the fundamental biology of parasitic nematodes (= roundworms) that cause serious diseases, affecting literally billions of animals and humans worldwide. Unlocking the biology of these neglected pathogens using modern technologies will yield crucial and profound knowledge of their molecular biology, and could lead to new treatment and control strategies. Supported by studies in the free-living nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, some recent investigations have provided improved insights into selected protein phosphatases (PPs) of economically important parasitic nematodes (Strongylida). In the present article, we review this progress and assess the potential of serine/threonine phosphatase (STP) genes and/or their products as targets for new nematocidal drugs. Current information indicates that some small molecules, known to specifically inhibit PPs, might be developed as nematocides. For instance, some cantharidin analogues are known to display exquisite PP-inhibitor activity, which indicates that some of them could be designed and tailored to specifically inhibit selected STPs of nematodes. This information provides prospects for the discovery of an entirely novel class of nematocides, which is of paramount importance, given the serious problems linked to anthelmintic resistance in parasitic nematode populations of livestock, and has the potential to lead to significant biotechnological outcomes. 相似文献
