Sentenece the gene occurs

27286367The DNA breaks and DNA repair were examined by alkaline comet assay and by immunofluorescence staining of the phosphorylated histone variant H2AX (gammaH2AX), respectively
26934368Exposure to radiation promoted a parallel induction of autophagy and senescence that was strongly correlated with the extent of persistent H2AX phosphorylation in both cell lines, however, inhibition of autophagy failed to suppress senescence, indicating that the two responses were dissociable
26718258Previously, we showed that the sesquiterpene lactone, dehydroleucodine (DhL), promotes the accumulation of DNA damage markers, such as H2AX and 53BP1, in human tumor cells
26596544One of the earliest cellular responses to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) is the phosphorylation of the core histone protein H2AX (termed gammaH2AX)
25712102Multiple facets of histone variant H2AX: a DNA double-strand-break marker with several biological functions
25712102In the last decade, many papers highlighted that the histone variant H2AX and its phosphorylation on Ser 139 (gammaH2AX) cannot be simply considered a specific DNA double-strand-break (DSB) marker with a role restricted to the DNA damage response, but rather as a 'protagonist' in different scenarios
25712102This review will present and discuss an up-to-date view regarding the 'non-canonical' H2AX roles, focusing in particular on possible functional and structural parts in contexts different from the canonical DNA DSB response
25712102The authors will emphasize that, just as H2AX phosphorylation signals chromatin alteration and serves the canonical function of recruiting DSB repair factors, so the modification of H2AX in contexts other than the DNA damage response may contribute towards creating a specific chromatin structure frame allowing 'non-canonical' functions to be carried out in different cell types
25293814To develop a more efficient, inclusive and sensitive methodology, we examined the phosphorylation of histone H2AX and the p53 levels in normal human periosteal cells exposed to x-rays or other oxidative stressors
25293814The cell cycle, electric nuclear volume and CD44 expression were evaluated using flow cytometry, and the phosphorylated H2AX (gamma-H2AX), p53, p21 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) levels were evaluated by Western blot analyses
25293814In parallel, each oxidative stress rapidly phosphorylated H2AX and stabilized p53, and intense stress sustained these high levels for at least 8 days
24552809Interestingly, Ppm1d(-/-) MEFs showed increased H2AX phosphorylation levels without increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or DNA base damage compared with wild-type (Wt) MEFs, suggesting a decreased threshold for DDR activation or sustained DDR activation during recovery
24552809Notably, the increased H2AX phosphorylation levels observed in Ppm1d(-/-) MEFs were primarily associated with S-phase cells and predominantly dependent on the activation of ATM
23941874Consistent with this shift in favor of excessive reactive oxygen species, DFs also displayed a significant increase in senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity and phospho-gamma-histone H2AX (pH2AX) level
23811199The phosphorylation of p53 and histone H2Ax and the induction of the two proapoptotic genes Bax and Noxa were evident in SOD1-deficient MEFs and more enhanced under normoxic culture than under hypoxic culture
23272087This mechanism appears to preserve androgen induced autophosphorylation of ATM and phosphorylation of H2AX, lesion processing and repair pathway yet restrain ATM/CHK1/CHK2 and p53 signaling pathway
23050037Foci of phosphorylated histone H2AX and ATM are the surrogate markers of DNA double strand breaks
23050037Large phosphorylated H2AX foci (>1
23050037Importantly, large foci of phosphorylated H2AX were always colocalized with phosphorylated ATM foci
21149450The TopBP1-ablated mouse cells exhibit phosphorylation of H2AX and Chk2, indicating that the cells contain DNA breaks
21118958Importantly, depletion of the DNA-SCARS-stabilizing component histone H2AX did not deplete 53BP1 from DNA-SCARS but diminished the presence of MDC1 and activated CHK2
21118958Furthermore, depletion of H2AX reduced both the p53-dependent senescence growth arrest and p53-independent cytokine secretion
21081476We examined phosphorylation of H2AX, a marker for DNA double-strand breaks over the life of a human fibroblast cell line
20889973Embryos lacking ATMIN (atmin(Delta/Delta)) died in utero and showed increased numbers of cells positive for phosphorylated histone H2aX, indicative of increased DNA damage
20372780Phosphorylation of histone H2AX (gammaH2AX) is a sensitive marker of DNA damage, particularly induction of DNA double-strand breaks
20372780Using multiparameter cytometry we explored the effects of doxorubicin (DOX), cisplatin (CDDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on four types of endometrioid adenocarcinoma cell lines (HEC-1A, HEC-1B, Ishikawa, KLE) correlating the drug-induced increases in phosphorylated H2AX (gammaH2AX) with cell cycle phase, induction of apoptosis and induction of cell senescence, the latter detected by analysis of beta-galactosidase
20372780Treatment with CDDP and 5-FU led to phosphorylation of H2AX preferentially in S-phase cells, consistent with the induction of replication stress
20107320We further show that CAPNS1 depletion is coupled to reduced levels of H2AX phosphorylation, not only in Ras(v12) induced BJ-ET fibroblasts, but also in a number of cellular systems upon genotoxic stress
18723444We show that human atherosclerotic plaque VSMCs exhibit increased levels of double-stranded DNA breaks and basal activation of DNA repair pathways involving ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) and the histone H2AX in vivo and in vitro
18497977WI-38 and A549 cells were exposed to 200 microM H2O2 in the absence or presence of HA and induction of histone H2AX phosphorylation and activation of ATM, the reporters of DNA damage, was assessed by multiparameter cytometry
18497977Also explored was effect of HA on constitutive H2AX phosphorylation that reflects DNA damage caused by endogenous oxidants generated during aerobic metabolism
184979771% (w/v) in culture medium totally prevented the H2O2-induced H2AX phosphorylation in both cell types whereas effect of 60,000 average MW (low MW) HA was somewhat less pronounced
18497977Constitutive H2AX phosphorylation in WI-38 cells growing in the presence of 0
18005250To understand quantitative and qualitative changes in the DNA damage response during human aging, DNA damage-induced foci of phosphorylated histone H2AX (gamma-H2AX), which occurs specifically at sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and eroded telomeres, were examined in human young and senescing fibroblasts, and in lymphocytes of peripheral blood
18001825We have shown that RNF8 facilitates the accumulation of checkpoint mediator proteins BRCA1 and 53BP1 to the damaged chromatin, on one hand through the phospho-dependent FHA domain-mediated binding of RNF8 to MDC1, on the other hand via its role in ubiquitylating H2AX and possibly other substrates at damage sites
17879239The level of ATM activation and H2AX phosphorylation, detected immunocytochemically, has been monitored in WI-38, A549, and TK6 cells treated with H2O2 as well as growing under conditions known or suspected to affect the level of endogenous oxidants
17879239Thirty- to 60-min exposure of cells to 100 or 200 microM H2O2 led to an increase in the level of H2AX phosphorylation and ATM activation, particularly pronounced (nearly fivefold) in S-phase cells
17227291Constitutive histone H2AX phosphorylation and ATM activation are strongly amplified during mitogenic stimulation of lymphocytes
16820894Constitutive histone H2AX phosphorylation on Ser-139 in cells untreated by genotoxic agents is cell-cycle phase specific and attenuated by scavenging reactive oxygen species
16820894DNA damage, particularly when it involves formation of double-strand breaks (DSBs), triggers phosphorylation of histone H2AX on Ser-139
16820894Phosphorylated H2AX has been named gammaH2AX, and induction of gammaH2AX in cells exposed to genotoxic agents is considered a sensitive and specific reporter of DNA damage
16820894However, in untreated normal cells as well in the cells of various tumor lines cells, a fraction of histone H2AX molecules remain phosphorylated
16820894In the present study, we observed that the extent of this constitutive H2AX phosphorylation varies depending on the cell type (line) and on cell cycle phase and, in most cell types, S and G(2)/M phase cells exhibit greater levels of H2AX phosphorylation than do cells in the G(1) phase
16820894Furthermore, constitutive H2AX phosphorylation in human pulmonary carcinoma A549, lymphoblastoid TK6, and in normal bronchial epithelial cells was reduced following cell exposure to N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a scavenger of reactive oxygen intermediates; the reduction was most pronounced for G(2)M cells
16820894Growth of A549 cells in the presence of buthionine sulfoximine, an inhibitor of glutathione synthetase, amplified the level of constitutive H2AX phosphorylation in A549 cells
16820894The observed constitutive H2AX phosphorylation may be a reflection of the ongoing DNA damage mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by metabolic activity during progression through the cell cycle, leading to formation of DSBs during the S phase
16820894Because cumulative DNA damage in proliferating cells mediated by ROS is considered the key mechanism for cell ageing, the present approach to estimate the degree of attenuation of constitutive H2AX phosphorylation by antioxidants may provide a convenient tool to assess the DNA-protective and possible anti-ageing properties of other agents
16436511We find an ATR-dependent phosphorylation of the histone H2AX (gamma-H2AX)
