Objective: Introduction: The frequency of alleles and genotypes of DNA repair genes in people working due to the influence of industrial aerosols (miners and workers of asbestos-cement plants (n = 215)) was studied. The aim of the work was to identify allelic polymorphisms affecting the formation of resistance or leading to an increased risk of developing bronchopulmonary pathology.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: In 90 patients with bronchopulmonary pathology and 125 persons working under the same conditions but without respiratory system diseases, the polymerase chain reaction in real time was determined by the polymorphisms of DNA repair genes: XPD (rs13181, rs799793), ERCC1 (rs11615), XRCC1 ( rs25487) and XRCC3 (rs861539), ATM (rs664677), XRCC7 (rs7003908) and MLH1 (rs1799977).
Results: Results: In the course of this study the alleles and genotypes contributing to resistance to the development of respiratory system pathologies were determined: XRCC1•G/A (rs25487) (OR=0.57; 95% CI: 0.32-1.02; P≤0.040; Χ²=4.14); MLH1•A (rs1799977) (OR=0.62; 95% CI: 0.40-0.96; P≤0.020; Χ²=5.06); MLH1•A/A (rs1799977) (OR=0.43; 95% CI: 0.24-0.79; P≤0.003; Χ²=8.73). Also, we established the alleles and genotypes associated with the risk of developing bronchopulmonary pathology: XPD•C/C (rs13181) (OR=2.20, 95% CI: 1.02-4.77; P≤0.020; Χ²=4.85); XRCC1•A/A (rs25487) (OR=3.37; 95 % CI: 1.22-9.63; P≤0.008; Χ²=6.94); ATM•T/T (rs664677) (OR=2.48; 95% CI: 1.16-5.31; Р≤0.010; Χ²=6.61); MLH1•G (rs1799977) (OR=1.61; 95% CI: 1.04-2.49; P≤0.020; Χ²=5.06); MLH1•A/G (rs1799977) (OR=2.32; 95% CI: 1.29-4.21; P≤0.002; Χ²=9.01).
Conclusion: Conclusions: The results indicate the influence of allelic polymorphisms of DNA repair genes on the formation of resistance to the development of bronchopulmonary pathology under the action of industrial aerosols and open up prospects for the development of modern preventive measures.

Double-strand breaks (DSBs) can initiate mitotic catastrophe, a complex oncosuppressive phenomenon characterized by cell death during or after cell division. Here we unveil how cell cycle-regulated DSB repair guides disparate cell death outcomes through single-cell analysis of extended live imaging. Following DSB induction in S or G2, passage of unresolved homologous recombination intermediates into mitosis promotes non-immunogenic intrinsic apoptosis in the immediate attempt at cell division.

Biofilms are critical in the persistence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, particularly in cystic fibrosis patients. This study explores the adaptive mechanisms behind the phenotypic switching between Small Colony Variants (SCVs) and revertant states in P. aeruginosa biofilms, emphasizing hypermutability due to Mismatch Repair System (MRS) deficiencies.

However, it remains unclear how spatial proximity of double-strand breaks (DSBs) affects the formation of SVs. To investigate if spatial proximity between two DSBs affects DNA repair, we used data from 3C experiments (Hi-C, ChIA-PET, and ChIP-seq) to identify highly interacting loci on six different chromosomes.

Chemotherapy remains a cornerstone in the treatment of bladder cancer (BLCA); however, the development of chemoresistance substantially limits its efficacy and significantly affects patient survival. Thus, elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying BLCA chemoresistance is critical to improving patient outcomes. Our study identified MCM6 as an oncogene that facilitates BLCA proliferation and invasion and is linked to cisplatin resistance.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess mutagenicity biomarkers among Egyptian textile dyeing workers, their alteration with gene polymorphism, and the changes in plasma proteins' expression.
Methods: Using a detailed questionnaire, a comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 212 workers (106 textile dyeing exposed group and 106 control group). CBMN-Cyt assay, ERCC2 gene polymorphism, and plasma protein fractions were analyzed in workers' blood samples.
