DNA damage and repair in age-related inflammation

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the mechanisms by which DNA damage induces inflammation, such as through activation of the cGAS-STING axis and NF-κB activation by ATM.

Current Methods and Pipelines for Image-Based Quantitation of Nuclear Shape and Nuclear Envelope Abnormalities

TL;DR: An overview of several nuclear abnormalities, including micronuclei, nuclear envelope invaginations, blebs and ruptures, and current methods used for image-based quantification of these abnormalities are reviewed, and several parameters that can be used to quantify nuclear shape are discussed.

Telomeric 8-oxo-guanine drives rapid premature senescence in the absence of telomere shortening

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed that oxidative stress promotes rapid senescence by producing oxidative base lesions that drive replication-dependent telomere fragility and dysfunction in the absence of shortening and shelterin loss.

Principles and functions of pericentromeric satellite DNA clustering into chromocenters.

TL;DR: In this article , a review of the literature on pericentromeric satellite DNA and its organization and functions across eukaryotic species is presented, focusing on chromocenters.

Spontaneous activity of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway drives chromosomal defects, the appearance of micronuclei and cancer metastasis through the Caspase-Activated DNAse

TL;DR: In this article , the authors tested whether spontaneously appearing micronuclei in cancer cells are linked to sub-lethal apoptotic signals and found that low-level activity in the mitochondrial apoptosis apparatus operates through CAD-dependent gene induction and STING-activation and has substantial impact on metastasis in cancer patients.

Repair of nuclear ruptures requires barrier-to-autointegration factor

TL;DR: A role for the protein BAF is described in nuclear envelope rupture repair, yet surprisingly, ESCRT-III is not required to repair ruptures.
Journal ArticleDOI

BAF restricts cGAS on nuclear DNA to prevent innate immune activation.

TL;DR: The observations reveal a safeguard mechanism, distinct from physical separation, by which cells protect themselves against aberrant immune responses toward genomic DNA, which suggests that the regulation of DNA detection by the innate immune system relies on more complex mechanisms than simple physical separation alone.

APOBEC3-dependent kataegis and TREX1-driven chromothripsis during telomere crisis.

TL;DR: It is shown that the cytoplasmic exonuclease TREX1, which promotes the resolution of dicentric chromosomes 4 , plays a prominent role in chromothriptic fragmentation and the kataegis observed at chromothripsis breakpoints is the consequence of cytosine deamination by APOBEC3B.

How to identify micronuclear dysfunction?

Micronuclear dysfunction can be identified by compromised integrity of the micronuclear envelope, delayed or disrupted DNA replication, inhibited DNA repair, and exposure of micronuclear DNA to the cytoplasm.
