  1. 11. The role of chromatin in the induction and repair of DNA damage

    Författare :Mats Ljungman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA damage; Chromatin; Kromatin; DNA;

    Sammanfattning : The role of chromatin in the induction and repair of DNA damage has a dual nature.The constituent proteins of chromatin protect the DNA against the induction of DNAdamage, while at the same time they reduce the accessibility of DNA to repair enzymes. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Chemically Induced DNA Damage in Extended-term Cultures of Human Lymphocytes

    Författare :Maria Andersson; Björn Hellman; Leif Busk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Toxicology; Comet assay; DNA-damaging agents; DNA repair; Extended-term Cultures of Human Lymphocytes; Genotoxicity; Induced DNA damage; In vitro; Mouse Lymphoma Cells; Primary Cell Cultures; Reactive Oxygen Species; Toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : Generation of DNA damage is regarded to be an important initial event in the development cancer. Consequently, a battery of tests have been developed to detect different types of genotoxic effects in order to be able to predict the potential genotoxicity and mutagenicity of chemicals, including both pharmaceutical drugs and various types of environmental and occupational agents, as well as dietary factors.

  4. 13. Repair of DNA double-stranded breaks in human cells

    Författare :Susanne Nyström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA-PK; DNA double-stranded break; DSB; DNA single-stranded break; SSB; DNA damage; ionizing radiation; IR; DNA repair; calicheamicin gamma1; bleomycin; etoposide; topoisomerase II; radiotherapy; radiosensitizer; ATM;

    Sammanfattning : DNA is continuously subjected to degradation. Therefore, our cells need to constantly repair its DNA to prevent mutations and in the long run cancer. In mammalian cells, when DNA is broken right off, a double-stranded break (DSB) is produced, and the ends are ligated by a process called non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). LÄS MER

  5. 14. Interstrand Crosslinks - Induction and repair

    Författare :Daniel Vare; Dag Jenssen; Klaus Erixon; Fredrik Johansson; Marcel Tijsterman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ICL; DNA repair; interstrand crosslink; psoralen; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : DNA crosslinking agents exhibit a variety of DNA lesions, such as monoadducts, DNA-DNA interstrand or intrastrand crosslinks or DNA-protein crosslinks. Agents that produce interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) exist naturally and are widely used in chemotherapy. Therefore, it is important to understand how the lesions induced by these agents are repaired.

  7. 15. Replication Dynamics in the DNA Damage Response

    Författare :Petra Groth; Thomas Helleday; Geroge Iliakis; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA damage; DNA replication; homologous recombination; DNA double strand-breaks; ionizing radiation; alkylating agents; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Genetics; Genetik; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Faithful DNA replication is essential and the induction of replication stress may have profound effects on genomic integrity. This is demonstrated by the formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), considered to be the most toxic DNA lesions, at stalled replication forks. LÄS MER
