Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a reactive oxygen species (ROS), is known to induce oxidative stress and apoptosis. U937 cells treated with H2O2 were shown to produce high molecular weight (HMW) DNA fragments approximately 50 to 100 kb in size in <1 min. The formation of these HMW DNA fragments is reversible and shown to be mediated by DNA topoisomerase II (TOP2). Following this initial event, formation of irreversible HMW DNA fragments and nucleosomal ladders occurs. Our results thus demonstrate a potential role of TOP2 in oxidative damage of DNA and apoptotic cell death.

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.
