DNA double strand break repair, aging and the chromatin connection
Open accessAbstract
Are DNA damage and mutations possible causes or consequences of aging? This question has been hotly debated by biogerontologists for decades. The importance of DNA damage as a possible driver of the aging process went from being widely recognized to then forgotten, and is now slowly making a comeback. DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are particularly relevant to aging because of their toxicity, increased frequency with age and the association of defects in their repair with premature aging. Recent studies expand the potential impact of DNA damage and mutations on aging by linking DNA DSB repair and age-related chromatin changes. There is overwhelming evidence that increased DNA damage and mutations accelerate aging. However, an ultimate proof of causality would be to show that enhanced genome and epigenome stability delays aging. This is not an easy task, as improving such complex biological processes is infinitely more difficult than disabling it. We will discuss the possibility that animal models with enhanced DNA repair and epigenome maintenance will be generated in the near future.

Incomplete DNA repair may contribute to accumulation of DNA lesions, DDR activation and widespread chromatin changes during ageing.
“Incomplete DNA repair may further contribute to the accumulation of DNA lesions and DDR activation as well as to the widespread chromatin changes seen in different cell types and at the organismal level during ageing90,91”
From Cellular senescence in ageing: from mechanisms to therapeutic opportunities (2021) · cites this paper as [91]
“DNA DSB repair declines with age” reports less efficient repair in aged tissues, and “Shared responsibilities: factors involved in DNA repair, chromatin and aging” links DNA damage to broad chromatin and transcriptional changes. The copy does not establish that incomplete repair causes sustained DDR activation, so that part of the claim remains unsupported. Page numbers were not available in the indexed passages.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
