BRCA1 interacting protein 1 or BRIP1 is a 5\u2019 to 3\u2019 DNA helicase that catalyzes many abnormal DNA structures during DNA replication, gene transcription, and recombination, and contribute to genomic integrity. Objective: BRIP1 functions were reasonably well studied in DNA repair; however, there is limited data on its role and regulation during aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Methods: We used immunohistochemistry, western blot, and qRT-PCR assays to analyze the expression of BRIP1. Immunofluorescence studies were performed to study the formation of R-loops, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and mitochondrial morphology. Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy were used to evaluate mitochondrial ROS and mitochondrial structures, respectively. Oxygen consumption rate was measured using Seahorse, and the Presto Blue\u2122 assays were used to evaluate cell viability. Results: Our results demonstrate the expression of BRIP1 in mouse and human brain tissues and in neuronal cell lines. BRIP1 levels were elevated in the hippocampal regions of the brains, specifically in the dentate gyrus. BRIP1 downregulation in neuronal cells caused increased R-loop formation basally and in response to H2O2 treatment. Furthermore, BRIP1 deficient cells exhibited elevated levels of excitotoxicity induced by L-Glutamic acid exposure as evidenced by (mitochondrial) ROS levels, deteriorated mitochondrial health, and cell death compared to BRIP1 proficient neuronal cells. Conclusion: Overall, our results indicate an important role for BRIP1 in maintaining neuronal cell health and homeostasis by suppressing cellular oxidative stress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-215305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,12]],"date-time":"2021-11-12T11:10:02Z","timestamp":1636715402000},"page":"207-221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["A Novel Role for BRIP1\/FANCJ in Neuronal Cells Health and in Resolving Oxidative Stress-Induced DNA Lesions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Chinnadurai","family":"Mani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology and Biochemistry, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ganesh","family":"Acharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology and Biochemistry, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudhir","family":"Kshirsagar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Murali","family":"Vijayan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hafiz","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Julia Jones Matthews Department of Public Health, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.
