Site-Specific DNA Damage at the GGG Sequence by UVA Involves Acceleration of Telomere Shortening
23 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Telomere shortening is associated with cellular senescence. We investigated whether UVA, which contributes to photoaging, accelerates telomere shortening in human cultured cells. The terminal restriction fragment (TRF) from WI-38 fibroblasts irradiated with UVA (365-nm light) decreased with increasing irradiation dose. Furthermore, UVA irradiation dose-dependently increased the formation of...
