DNA damage and repair in age-related inflammation

Y Zhao, M Simon, A Seluanov… - Nature Reviews …, 2023 - nature.com
Genomic instability is an important driver of ageing. The accumulation of DNA damage is
believed to contribute to ageing by inducing cell death, senescence and tissue dysfunction …

Regulatory activities of transposable elements: from conflicts to benefits

EB Chuong, NC Elde, C Feschotte - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2017 - nature.com
Transposable elements (TEs) are a prolific source of tightly regulated, biochemically active
non-coding elements, such as transcription factor-binding sites and non-coding RNAs. Many …

Epigenetically controlled tumor antigens derived from splice junctions between exons and transposable elements

M Burbage, A Rocañín-Arjó, B Baudon, YA Arribas… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
Oncogenesis often implicates epigenetic alterations, including derepression of transposable
elements (TEs) and defects in alternative splicing. Here, we explore the possibility that …

Melatonin, a full service anti-cancer agent: inhibition of initiation, progression and metastasis

RJ Reiter, SA Rosales-Corral, DX Tan… - International journal of …, 2017 - mdpi.com
There is highly credible evidence that melatonin mitigates cancer at the initiation,
progression and metastasis phases. In many cases, the molecular mechanisms …

Exosome transfer from stromal to breast cancer cells regulates therapy resistance pathways

MC Boelens, TJ Wu, BY Nabet, B Xu, Y Qiu, T Yoon… - Cell, 2014 - cell.com
Stromal communication with cancer cells can influence treatment response. We show that
stromal and breast cancer (BrCa) cells utilize paracrine and juxtacrine signaling to drive …

Restricting retrotransposons: a review

JL Goodier - Mobile DNA, 2016 - Springer
Retrotransposons have generated about 40% of the human genome. This review examines
the strategies the cell has evolved to coexist with these genomic “parasites”, focussing on …

Regulation of single-strand annealing and its role in genome maintenance

R Bhargava, DO Onyango, JM Stark - Trends in Genetics, 2016 - cell.com
Single-strand annealing (SSA) is a DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway that
uses homologous repeats to bridge DSB ends. SSA involving repeats that flank a single …

Retrotransposons as regulators of gene expression

RA Elbarbary, BA Lucas, LE Maquat - Science, 2016 - science.org
BACKGROUND Genomes are subject to two types of changes: changes to the DNA
sequence, and changes that are epigenetic in nature. Changes to the DNA sequence can …
