Expression of TDRD9 in a subset of lung carcinomas by CpG island hypomethylation protects from DNA damage
(Impact Journals, 2018)
Tudor domain containing protein 9 (TDRD9) is a RNA helicase normally expressed in the germline, where it is involved in the biosynthesis of PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). Here, we show that TDRD9 is highly expressed in ...

Break-induced RNA–DNA hybrids (BIRDHs) in homologous recombination: friend or foe?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most harmful DNA lesions, with a strong impact on cell proliferation and genome integrity. Depending on cell cycle stage, DSBs are preferentially repaired by non-homologous end joining ...

Transcription as a Threat to Genome Integrity
(Annual Reviews Inc., 2016)
Genomes undergo different types of sporadic alterations, including DNA damage, point mutations, and genome rearrangements, that constitute the basis for evolution. However, these changes may occur at high levels as a result ...

Targeting the centriolar replication factor STIL synergizes with DNA damaging agents for treatment of ovarian cancer
(Impact Journals, 2017)
Advanced ovarian cancer is an incurable disease. Thus, novel therapies are required. We wished to identify new therapeutic targets for ovarian cancer. ShRNA screen performed in 42 ovarian cancer cell lines identified the ...

Cells Deficient in the Fanconi Anemia Protein FANCD2 are Hypersensitive to the Cytotoxicity and DNA Damage Induced by Coffee and Caffeic Acid
(MDPI AG, 2016)
Epidemiological studies have found a positive association between coffee consumption and a lower risk of cardiovascular disorders, some cancers, diabetes, Parkinson and Alzheimer disease. Coffee consumption, however, has ...

Mitochondrial Factors in the Cell Nucleus
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
The origin of eukaryotic organisms involved the integration of mitochondria into the ancestor cell, with a massive gene transfer from the original proteobacterium to the host nucleus. Thus, mitochondrial performance relies ...
