Interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) repair by the canonical Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway generates double-strand breaks (DSBs), which are subsequently repaired by the homologous recombination (HR) pathway. Recent studies show that the NEIL3 DNA glycosylase repairs psoralen-ICLs by direct unhooking. However, whether and how NEIL3 regulates MMC and cisplatin-ICL repair remains unclear. Here we show that NEIL3 participates in DSB repair step of ICL repair by promoting HR pathway. Mechanistically, NEIL3 is recruited to the DSB sites through its GRF zinc finger motifs. NEIL3 interacts with the DSB resection machinery, including CtIP, the MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complex, and DNA2, which is mediated by the GRF zinc finger motifs. In addition, NEIL3 is necessary for the chromatin recruitment of the resection machinery, and depletion of NEIL3 decreases end resection and compromises HR. Taken together, our results show that NEIL3 plays an important role in MMC/cisplatin-ICL repair by promoting the HR step in FA/BRCA pathway.

8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (G, 8-hydroxyguanine), an oxidatively damaged base, induces mutations and is involved in cancer initiation. In addition to G:C→T:A transversions at the damaged site, it causes untargeted base substitution (action-at-a-distance) mutations at the G bases of 5'-GpA-3' sites in human cells. Paradoxically, OGG1, a DNA glycosylase involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, enhances the action-at-a-distance mutations by G.

Background: Cancer stem cells are characterized by self-renewal, clonal tumor initiation capacity, and treatment resistance, which play essential roles in the tumor progression of prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, we aim to explore the features of cancer stemness and characterize the expression of stem cell-related genes for PCa.

Methods: We downloaded RNA-seq data and related clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Introduction: Tumor-associated macrophages, which are part of the tumor microenvironment, are a major factor in cancer progression. However, a complete understanding of the regulatory mechanism of M2 polarization of macrophages (Mø) in liver cancer is yet to be established. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism by which NEIL3 influenced M2 Mø polarization in liver cancer.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly prevalent and deadly cancer, with limited treatment options for advanced-stage patients. Disulfidptosis is a recently identified mechanism of programmed cell death that occurs in SLC7A11 high-expressing cells due to glucose starvation-induced disintegration of the cellular disulfide skeleton. We aimed to explore the potential of disulfidptosis, as a prognostic and therapeutic marker in HCC.
