Reviewing the IDH1 Mutation‐Mediated Mechanism of Drug Resistance and Revisiting Its Overcoming Strategies

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Therefore, this article first summarizes terms of IDH1 function from the molecular mechanism of IDH1, the mechanism of mutation, and the metabolism of substances due to mutations. In addition, this article introduces representative mIDH1 inhibitors according to the differences of mutation sites.

Inhibition of O6?methylguanine?DNA?methyltransferase (MGMT) by lomeguatrib reduces multiple myeloma cell viability and impairs DNA repair in MGMT?proficient cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

MGMT mRNA expression was significantly increased in CD138+ myeloma cells compared with their matched CD138-nontumorigenic cells and inhibition of MGMT by its specific inhibitor lomeguatrib in MM cells reduced DNA repair, cell viability, and S phase entry and increased DNA damage and apoptosis.

In vivo protective efficacy of astaxanthin against ionizing radiation?induced DNA damage

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Radiotherapy induced DNA damage in rat lymphocytes. DNA damage was significantly reduced by 4 mg/kg/day Astaxanthin for 7 days. Astaxanthin may be a promising agent against radiotherapy induced DNA damage. Abstract Astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment, is believed to be effective in the repair of DNA damage.

HIV?1 integrase inhibitor raltegravir promotes DNA damage?induced apoptosis in multiple myeloma

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Raltegravir, an integrase inhibitor approved for the treatment of HIV infection, led to an increase in DNA damage and apoptosis in multiple myeloma that remains as an incurable malignancy. In addition, the mRNA levels of V(D)J recombination and DNA repair genes were analyzed using qPCR. 01 for U66 and p  ˂ .0001

MiR?34 by targeting p53 induces apoptosis and DNA damage in paclitaxel?resistant human oral squamous carcinoma cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The chemosensitive effects of miR-34 is mediated through increasing DNA damage and apoptosis in a p53 depended manner. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of miR-34 restoration in OECM-1 oral cancer resistant to paclitaxel (OECM-1/PTX) and its underlying mechanisms through p53-mediated DNA damage and apoptosis.

Cinnamaldehyde protects cardiomyocytes from oxygen?glucose deprivation/reoxygenation?induced lipid peroxidation and DNA damage via activating the Nrf2 pathway

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The mechanism research revealed that cinnamaldehyde activated the Nrf2 pathway to attenuate lipid peroxidation and repair DNA damage to protect cardiomyocytes from ischemia/reperfusion injury in the OGD/R-induced H9C2 cardiomyocyte model. The severity of DNA damage was assessed by tail moment (TM) values using alkaline comet assay.

The Love Songs of W. E. B. Du Bois Celebrates Afro-Indigenous History with Genealogy – No DNA Needed

PLOS: DNA Science

Perhaps more telling, I recently discovered a previously unknown branch of my own family tree that includes a dozen half-siblings that I know of, from a DNA test that I didn’t even remember taking. I told my story in a New York Times Modern Love podcast and in blog posts and articles. Which one was our biodad?
