Oxidative DNA damage as a marker of aging in WI-38 human fibroblasts

Abstract

Cause-effect relationships between oxidative stress, DNA damage and aging were investigated in WI-38 human diploid fibroblasts at 21, 41 or 58 population doublings (PDs), corresponding to young, middle age or old fibroblasts, respectively. Oxidative DNA damage was evaluated by immunohistochemical detection of 8-hydroxy-2'deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) adducts or by single cell microgel electrophoresis (COMET assay). Aging was evaluated by growth rate, senescence-associated-beta-galactosidase (SA-beta galactosidase) activity, cell cycle distribution, and expression of p21. Our results demonstrate that (i) oxidative DNA damage is proportional to the age of cells (ii) DNA damage in old/58 PDs cells reflects both an increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, induced by acute exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), and a reduced efficiency of repair mechanisms. We also show that mild chronic oxidative stress, induced by prolonged exposure to 5 microM H(2)O(2), accelerates aging in fibroblasts. In fact, this treatment increased 8-OHdG levels, SA-beta-galactosidase activity, and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in middle age/41 PDs, making them similar to H(2)O(2)-untreated old/58 PDs cells. Although other mechanisms...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
