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.
