Oxidative DNA damage is epigenetic by regulating gene transcription via base excision repair
2016-08-17
Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as important cellular signaling agents for survival. Herein, we demonstrate that ROS-mediated oxidation of DNA to yield 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) in gene promoters is a signaling agent for gene activation. Enhanced gene expression occurs when OG is formed in guanine-rich, potential G-quadruplex sequences (PQS) in promoter coding strands to initiate base excision repai...
