Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of microRNA-451 in resistance of the MCF-7 breast cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin
Olga Kovalchuk,Jody Filkowski,James Meservy,Yaroslav Ilnytskyy,Volodymyr Tryndyak,Vasyl F. Chekhun,Igor P. Pogribny +6 more
TL;DR: The mechanistic link of miRNAome deregulation and the multidrug-resistant phenotype of MCF-7/DOX cells was evidenced by a remarkable correlation between specific miRNA expression and corresponding changes in protein levels of their targets, specifically those ones that have a documented role in cancer drug resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alterations of microRNAs and their targets are associated with acquired resistance of MCF‐7 breast cancer cells to cisplatin
Igor P. Pogribny,Jody Filkowski,Volodymyr Tryndyak,Andrey Golubov,Svitlana Shpyleva,Olga Kovalchuk +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that dysregulated miRNA expression may underlie the abnormal functioning of critical cellular processes associated with the cisplatin‐resistant phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micronuclei in genotoxicity assessment: from genetics to epigenetics and beyond.
TL;DR: The genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of MN formation after various clastogenic and aneugenic effects on cell division and cell cycle are described and individual sensitivity to MN formation due to single gene polymorphisms is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Germ-line mutations, DNA damage, and global hypermethylation in mice exposed to particulate air pollution in an urban/industrial location
Carole L. Yauk,Aris Polyzos,Andrea Rowan-Carroll,Christopher M. Somers,Roger W. L. Godschalk,Frederik J. van Schooten,M. Lynn Berndt,Igor P. Pogribny,Igor Koturbash,Andrew M. Williams,George R. Douglas,Olga Kovalchuk +11 more
TL;DR: Sperm DNA was hypermethylated in mice breathing ambient relative to HEPA-filtered air and this change persisted following removal from the environmental exposure, and increased germ-line DNA mutation frequencies may cause population-level changes in genetic composition and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogen-induced systemic plant signal triggers DNA rearrangements
Igor Kovalchuk,Olga Kovalchuk,Véronique Kalck,Vitaly Boyko,Jody Filkowski,Manfred Heinlein,Barbara Hohn +6 more
TL;DR: A threefold increase in homologous recombination frequency in both infected and non-infected tissue of tobacco plants infected with either tobacco mosaic virus or oilseed rape mosaic virus is reported, indicating the existence of a systemic recombination signal that also results in an increased frequency of meiotic and/or inherited late somatic recombination.
