Abstrakt: | Deficiency of NEIL3, a DNA repair enzyme, has significant impact on mouse physiology, including vascular biology and gut health, processes related to aging. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is suggested as a marker of biological aging, and shortened LTL is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. NEIL3 has been shown to repair DNA damage in telomere regions in vitro . Herein, we explored the role of NEIL3 in telomere maintenance in vivo by studying bone marrow cells from atherosclerosis-prone NEIL3-deficient mice. We found shortened telomeres and decreased activity of the telomerase enzyme in bone marrow cells derived from Apoe -/- Neil3 -/- as compared to Apoe -/- mice. Furthermore, Apoe -/- Neil3 -/- mice had decreased leukocyte levels as compared to Apoe -/- mice, both in bone marrow and in peripheral blood. Finally, RNA sequencing of bone marrow cells from Apoe -/- Neil3 -/- and Apoe -/- mice revealed different expression levels of genes involved in cell cycle regulation, cellular senescence and telomere protection. This study points to NEIL3 as a telomere-protecting protein in murine bone marrow in vivo . (© 2022 The Authors.) |
