Article Abstract
Genomic instability markers are important hallmarks of aging, as previously evidenced within the European study of biomarkers of human aging, MARK-AGE; however, establishing the specific metabolic determinants of vascular aging is challenging. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the susceptibility to oxidation of serum LDL particles (LDLox) and the plasma metabolization products of nitric oxide (NOx) on relevant genomic instability markers. The analysis was performed on a MARK-AGE cohort of 1326 subjects (635 men and 691 women, 35-75 years old) randomly recruited from the general population. The Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting causal inference algorithm was implemented in order to assess the potential causal relationship between the LDLox and NOx octile-based thresholds and three genomic instability markers measured in mononuclear leukocytes: the percentage of telomeres shorter than 3 kb, the initial DNA integrity, and the DNA damage after irradiation with 3.8 Gy. The results showed statistically significant telomere shortening for LDLox, while NOx yielded a significant impact on DNA integrity. Overall, the effect on the genomic instability markers was higher than for the confirmed vascular aging determinants, such as low HDL cholesterol levels, indicating a meaningful impact even for small changes in LDLox and NOx values.

Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized cancer treatment by enabling comprehensive cancer genomic profiling (CGP) to guide genotype-directed therapies. While several prospective trials have demonstrated varying outcomes with CGP in patients with advanced solid tumors, its clinical utility in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains to be evaluated.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of CGP in our hospital between September 2019 and March 2024.

Aberrant DNA methylation has been described in nearly all human cancers, yet its interplay with genomic alterations during tumor evolution is poorly understood. To explore this, we performed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing on 217 tumor and matched normal regions from 59 patients with non-small cell lung cancer from the TRACERx study to deconvolve tumor methylation. We developed two metrics for integrative evolutionary analysis with DNA and RNA sequencing data.

Increased chromosomal instability impairs oocyte quality, contributing to female reproductive aging. The telomeric DNA damage response (DDR) is essential for genomic stability; however, how oocytes respond to telomeric damage remains elusive. Here, we observed that aged human germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes accumulated telomeric DNA damage.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is among the most prevalent human malignancies globally, with approximately 887,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Currently, the standard treatment for HNSCC involves surgery, followed by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However, despite these available treatments, the survival rate of patients with HNSCC remains low.

Following encounter with an unrepaired DNA lesion, replication is halted and can restart downstream of the lesion leading to the formation of a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gap. To complete replication, this ssDNA gap is filled in by one of the two lesion tolerance pathways: the error-prone Translesion Synthesis (TLS) or the error-free Homology Directed Gap Repair (HDGR). In the present work, we evidence a role for the RecBC complex distinct from its canonical function in homologous recombination at DNA double strand breaks.
