1. How history and geography may explain the distribution in the Comorian archipelago of a novel mutation in DNA repair-deficient xeroderma pigmentosum patients
Abstract Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare, genetic, autosomal nucleotide excision repair-deficient disease characterized by sun-sensitivity and early appearance of skin and ocular tumors. Thirty-two black-skinned XP from Comoros, located in the Indian Ocean, were counted, rendering this area the highest world prevalence of XP. These patients exhibited a

2. Relationship between the Asp1104His polymorphism of the nucleotide excision repair gene ERCC5 and treatment sensitivity to oxaliplatin in patients with advanced colorectal cancer in China
OBJECTIVES: To study the relationship between the Asp1104His polymorphism of the nucleotide excision repair gene ERCC5 and treatment sensitivity to oxaliplatin in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) in China. METHODS: A group of 226 patients in the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Zhejiang Xiaoshan Hospital from July 2011∼December 20

3. Nucleotide excision repair pathway assessment in DNA exposed to low-intensity red and infrared lasers
Low-intensity lasers are used for prevention and management of oral mucositis induced by anticancer therapy, but the effectiveness of treatment depends on the genetic characteristics of affected cells. This study evaluated the survival and induction of filamentation of Escherichia coli cells deficient in the nucleotide excision repair pathway, and the action

4. DNA repair diseases: what do they tell us about cancer and aging?
The discovery of DNA repair defects in human syndromes, initially in xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) but later in many others, led to striking observations on the association of molecular defects and patients' clinical phenotypes. For example, patients with syndromes resulting from defective nucleotide excision repair (NER) or translesion synthesis (TLS) present

5. Effects of melatonin on DNA damage induced by cyclophosphamide in rats
The antioxidant and free radical scavenger properties of melatonin have been well described in the literature. In this study, our objective was to determine the protective effect of the pineal gland hormone against the DNA damage induced by cyclophosphamide (CP), an anti-tumor agent that is widely applied in clinical practice. DNA damage was induced in rats

6. Relationships between chromatin remodeling and DNA damage repair induced by 8-methoxypsoralen and UVA in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Eukaryotic cells have developed mechanisms to prevent genomic instability, such as DNA damage detection and repair, control of cell cycle progression and cell death induction. The bifunctional compound furocumarin 8-methoxy-psoralen (8-MOP) is widely used in the treatment of various inflammatory skin diseases. In this review, we summarize recent data about t

7. Impaired expression of NER gene network in sporadic solid tumors
Nucleotide repair genes are not generally altered in sporadic solid tumors. However, point mutations are found scattered throughout the genome of cancer cells indicating that the repair pathways are dysfunctional. To address this point, in this work we focus on the expression pathways rather than in the DNA structure of repair genes related to either genome

8. Papel biológico dos dímeros de pirimidina em células humanas irradiadas com radiação UVA / Biological role of pyrimidine dimers in human cells irradiated with UVA radiation
A radiação ultravioleta (UV) pode ser absorvida por diferentes moléculas celulares, incluindo o DNA no qual provoca distorções estruturais. As lesões mais comuns induzidas pela radiação UV são o ciclobutano de pirimidina (CPD) e o fotoproduto (6-4)-pirimidina-pirimidona [(6-4)PPs]. Estas lesões podem ser reparadas pela fotorreativação, caracteriz

9. Use of adenoviral vectors in the identification of genetic complementation group of patients with Xeroderma pigmentosum um and animals deficient in DNA repair. / Uso de vetores adenovirais na identificação de grupo de complementação gênica de pacientes com Xeroderma pigmentosum e em animais deficientes em reparo de DNA.
One of the most versatile mechanisms of DNA repair is the nucleotide excision repair (NER). Genetic defects in NER can generate different syndromes. Among these, Xeroderma pigmentosum) presents the highest sensitivity to sunlight, resulting in a large increase in the incidence of skin cancer, especially in areas exposed to the sunlight, and in some cases, pr

10. Evolução do reparo por excisão de nucleotídeo
The phylogeny is one of the main activities of the modern taxonomists and a way to reconstruct the history of the life through comparative analysis of these sequences stored in their genomes aimed find any justification for the origin or evolution of them. Among the sequences with a high level of conservation are the genes of repair because it is important f

11. The involvement of nucleotide excision repair in DNA oxidative lesions in mammals cells. / Estudos de reparo de DNA por excisão de nucleotídeos em lesões oxidativas em células de mamíferos.
Para melhor entender o envolvimento do NER em lesões oxidativas averiguou-se os efeitos da foto-excitação do azul de metileno (MB) in vitro e in vivo. Verificou-se que MB e luz induzem muitos sítios sensíveis a enzima FPG em DNA plasmidial. Mostrou-se que MB é incorporado por fibroblastos humanos proficientes ou deficientes em NER (XP-A e XP-C) e gerou

12. Several pathways of hydrogen peroxide action that damage the E. coli genome
Hydrogen peroxide is an important reactive oxygen species (ROS) that arises either during the aerobic respiration process or as a by-product of water radiolysis after exposure to ionizing radiation. The reaction of hydrogen peroxide with transition metals imposes on cells an oxidative stress condition that can result in damage to cell components such as prot
