Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein was one of the first DNA damage sensor proteins to be discovered as being involved in DNA repair and as well as in telomere maintenance. Telomeres help maintain the stability of our chromosomes by protecting the ends from degradation. Cells from ataxia telangiectasia (AT) patients lack ATM and accumulate chromosomal alterations. AT patients display heightened susceptibility to cancer. In this study, cells from AT patients (called as AT\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    and AT\n                    <jats:sup>+\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells) were characterized for genome stability status and it was observed that AT\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells show considerable telomere attrition. Furthermore, DNA damage and genomic instability were compared between normal (AT\n                    <jats:sup>+\/+<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells) and AT\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells exhibiting increased frequencies of spontaneous DNA damage and genomic instability markers. Both AT\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    and AT\n                    <jats:sup>+\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells were sensitive to sodium arsenite (1.5 and 3.0 \u03bcg\/ml) and ionizing radiation-induced (2 Gy, gamma rays) oxidative stress. Interestingly, telomeric fragments were detected in the comet tails as revealed by comet-fluorescence\n                    <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>\n                    hybridization analysis, suggestive of telomeric instability in AT\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells upon exposure to sodium arsenite or radiation. Besides, there was an increase in the number of chromosome alterations in AT\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells following arsenite treatment or irradiation. In addition, complex chromosome aberrations were detected by multicolor fluorescence\n                    <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>\n                    hybridization in AT\n                    <jats:sup>-\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    cells in comparison to AT\n                    <jats:sup>+\/-<\/jats:sup>\n                    and normal cells. Telomere attrition and chromosome alterations were detected even at lower doses of sodium arsenite. Peptide nucleic acid \u2013 FISH analysis revealed defective chromosome segregation in cells lacking ATM proteins. The data obtained in this study substantiates the role of ATM in telomere stability under oxidative stress.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14293\/genint.13.1.003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,20]],"date-time":"2022-12-20T23:16:24Z","timestamp":1671578184000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Oxidative Damage Induced Telomere Mediated Genomic Instability in Cells from Ataxia Telangiectasia Patients"],"prefix":"10.14293","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Prarthana","family":"Srikanth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amit Roy","family":"Chowdhury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Grace Kah Mun","family":"Low","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Radha","family":"Saraswathy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akira","family":"Fujimori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birendranath","family":"Banerjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wilner","family":"Martinez-Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
