Abstract

Increasing evidence indicates that neurodegeneration involves the activation of the cell cycle machinery in postmitotic neurons. However, the purpose of these cell cycle-associated events in neuronal apoptosis remains unknown. Here we tested the hypothesis that cell cycle activation is a critical component of the DNA damage response in postmitotic neurons. Different genotoxic compounds (etoposide, methotrexate, and homocysteine) induced apoptosis accompanied by cell cycle reentry of terminally differentiated cortical neurons. In contrast, apoptosis initiated by stimuli that do not target DNA (staurosporine and colchicine) did not initiate cell cycle activation. Suppression of the function of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a proximal component of DNA damage-induced cell cycle checkpoint pathways, attenuated both apoptosis and cell cycle reentry triggered by DNA damage but did not change the fate of neurons exposed to staurosporine and colchicine. Our data suggest that cell cycle activation is a critical element of the DNA damage response of postmitotic neurons leading to apoptosis.

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.
