BNIP3-dependent mitophagy safeguards ESC genomic integrity via preventing oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and protecting homologous recombination
19 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have a significantly lower mutation load compared to somatic cells, but the mechanisms that guard genomic integrity in ESCs remain largely unknown. Here we show that BNIP3-dependent mitophagy protects genomic integrity in mouse ESCs. Deletion of Bnip3 increases cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreases ATP generation. Increased ROS in Bnip3−/− ESCs compromised...
