DNA Distortion and Damage
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...

Pharmacogenetics of Drug Targets: β₂-Adrenergic Receptors, Apo E, Thymidylate Synthase

Genetic polymorphisms in drug targets have emerged as critical determinants of interindividual variability in drug response and toxicity. Pharmacogenomic investigations increasingly focus on identifying these variations to personalize and optimize therapeutic interventions. A drug target may be a receptor, enzyme, or signaling protein involved in pharmacologic responses or disease-related pathways. While early pharmacogenetic studies focused primarily on drug metabolism, current research...

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Individual radiosensitivity varies, potentially due to DNA repair gene variants.
  • Current methods for studying these variants in cultured cells are inefficient.
  • Efficient gene targeting is crucial for analyzing variant effects on radiosensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient genome editing strategy for introducing specific nucleotide variants into cultured human cells.
  • To investigate the role of genetic variants in DNA repair genes in individual radiosensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • Development of transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN)-mediated two-step single base pair editing.
  • Introduction of a nucleotide variant associated with chromosomal instability syndrome bi-allelically into cultured human cells.
  • Utilizing homologous recombination (HR) repair for efficient genome editing.

Main Results:

  • Successfully introduced a specific nucleotide variant bi-allelically into cultured human cells.
  • Demonstrated the causative role of the introduced variant in a chromosomal instability syndrome.
  • Established an efficient method for gene targeting in human cells.

Conclusions:

  • The developed TALEN-mediated editing technique enables efficient analysis of candidate nucleotide variants.
  • This method facilitates the investigation of individual differences in radiosensitivity.
  • The technique holds promise for understanding genetic predispositions to radiation effects.
