HDAC1 modulates OGG1-initiated oxidative DNA damage repair in the aging brain and Alzheimer's disease

P. Pao, D. Patnaik, et al.

Exciting research by Ping-Chieh Pao and colleagues reveals how HDAC1 influences the brain's ability to repair DNA damage, which is crucial for combating aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Their findings show that enhancing HDAC1 activity could be a promising therapeutic approach to mitigate cognitive decline.

Abstract
DNA damage contributes to brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. This research shows that HDAC1 modulates OGG1-initiated 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) repair in the brain. HDAC1-deficient mice exhibit age-associated DNA damage, cognitive impairment, and impaired OGG1 activity. HDAC1 deficiency leads to 8-oxoG accumulation at gene promoters, causing transcriptional repression. Similar effects are observed in a 5XFAD Alzheimer's disease mouse model. Pharmacological HDAC1 activation alleviates these effects, highlighting its therapeutic potential.
