In combination with transition metals (Mn(II), Cu(II), and Fe(III)), isoniazid and related hydrazine compounds induced unscheduled DNA synthesis (DNA repair) in cultured human fibroblasts. Manganese at 10(-5) and 10(-4) M strongly enhanced DNA repair induced by isoniazid, iproniazid, nialamide and hydrazine. Peak levels of DNA repair occurred at 5 x 10(-4)--10(-3) M of the 4 hydrazine compounds. Copper caused less enhancement of DNA repair while iron had no detectable effect. Without added metal, unscheduled DNA synthesis was not observed in cells treated with any of the 4 freshly-prepared hydrazine compounds. However, following preincubation in medium for 6--12 h, isoniazid alone at high concentrations (10(-2) M--10(-1) M) induced DNA repair. With isoniazid/manganese mixtures, preincubation did not further enhance DNA repair except at low concentrations of isoniazid (2--5 x 10(-4) M). Catalase reduced the DNA damage caused by preincubated isoniazid and by the isoniazid/metal mixtures. Exposure of repair-deficient xeroderma pigmentosum cells to isoniazid plus manganese resulted in a DNA-repair profile similar to that of normal cells. The results are consistent with hydrogen peroxide being a critical intermediate for the production of free radicals which cause the observed DNA damage.

It has been hypothesized that DNA damage has the potential to induce DNA hypermethylation, contributing to carcinogenesis in mammals. However, there is no sufficient evidence to support that DNA damage can cause genome-wide DNA hypermethylation. Here, we demonstrated that DNA single-strand breaks with 3'-blocked ends (DNA 3'-blocks) can not only reinforce DNA methylation at normally methylated loci but also can induce DNA methylation at normally nonmethylated loci in plants.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC), particularly high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), is the leading cause of mortality from gynecological malignancies worldwide. Despite the initial effectiveness of treatment, acquired resistance to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) represents a major challenge for the clinical management of HGSOC, highlighting the necessity for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This study investigated the role of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), a pivotal regulator of glycolysis, in PARPi resistance and explored its potential as a therapeutic target to overcome PARPi resistance.

We aimed to build a robust classifier for the MGMT methylation status of glioblastoma in multiparametric MRI. We focused on multi-habitat deep image descriptors as our basic focus. A subset of the BRATS 2021 MGMT methylation dataset containing both MGMT class labels and segmentation masks was used.

To tolerate oxidative stress, cells enable DNA repair responses often sensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymerase 1 and 2 (PARP1/2) inhibition-an intervention effective against cancers lacking BRCA1/2. Here, we demonstrate that mutating the CHD6 chromatin remodeler sensitizes cells to PARP1/2 inhibitors in a manner distinct from BRCA1, and that CHD6 recruitment to DNA damage requires cooperation between PAR- and DNA-binding domains essential for nucleosome sliding activity. CHD6 displays direct PAR-binding, interacts with PARP-1 and other PAR-associated proteins, and combined DNA- and PAR-binding loss eliminates CHD6 relocalization to DNA damage.
