XRCC1 haploinsufficiency in mice has little effect on aging, but adversely modifies exposure-dependent susceptibility
6 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Oxidative DNA damage plays a role in disease development and the aging process. A prominent participant in orchestrating the repair of oxidative DNA damage, particularly single-strand breaks, is the scaffold protein XRCC1. A series of chronological and biological aging parameters in XRCC1 heterozygous (HZ) mice were examined. HZ and wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice exhibit a similar median lifespan of ~26 months and a...
