Depletion of Deoxyribonucleotide Pools is an Endogenous Source of DNA Damage in Cells Undergoing Oncogene-Induced Senescence

Creator:: Mannava, Sudha, Moparthy, Kalyana C., Wheeler, Linda J., Natarajan, Venkatesh, Zucker, Shoshanna N., Fink, Emily E., Im, Michael, Flanagan, Sheryl, Burhans, William C., Zeitouni, Nathalie C., Shewach, Donna S., Mathews, Christopher K., and Nikiforov, Mikhail A.
Abstract:: In normal human cells, oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) depends on induction of DNA damage response (DDR). Oxidative stress and hyper-replication of genomic DNA have been proposed as major causes of DNA damage in OIS cells. Here we report that down-regulation of deoxyribonucleoside pools is another endogenous source of DNA damage in...
