Disease relevance of SMUG1

 

Psychiatry related information on SMUG1

  • CONCLUSION: This investigation confirms that FDG PET is the best predictor of viable residual tumor in postchemotherapy seminoma residuals and should be used as a standard tool for clinical decision making in this patient group [6].
  • A new diagnostic indicator of FDG PET scan abnormality, based on age-adjusted t statistics and an automated voxel-based procedure, is presented and validated in a large data set comprising 110 normal controls and 395 patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) that were studied in eight participating centers [7].
  • Discrimination between Alzheimer dementia and controls by automated analysis of multicenter FDG PET [7].
  • Symptomatic Huntington's disease patients showed a marked reduction of FDG and RACLO uptake in the caudate nucleus and putamen and a significant increase of BCR [8].
  • Seven patients, presenting CSWS associated with neuropsychological deterioration (isolated aphasia, three cases; language disturbances with more widespread cognitive deterioration, three cases; isolated apraxia, one case) were studied using PET with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) [9].
 

High impact information on SMUG1

  • A corresponding catalytic mechanism could apply to the DNA glycosylases TDG and SMUG1, which belong to the same structural superfamily as UDG [10].
  • Our results may explain why SMUG1 cannot compensate the UNG2 deficiency in human B cells, and are fully consistent with the DNA deamination model that requires active nuclear UNG2 [11].
  • In B cell lines from hyper-IgM patients carrying UNG mutations, the single-strand-specific uracil-DNA glycosylase, SMUG1, cannot complement this function [11].
  • Attenuation-corrected transaxial and coronal images were visually evaluated by two nuclear medicine physicians (blinded to the patient's medical history) for foci of increased F-18 FDG uptake in the axilla region [3].
  • In lean individuals, insulin stimulated a 10-fold increase of 2-deoxy-2[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) clearance into muscle and significant increases in the rate constants for inward transport and phosphorylation of FDG [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of SMUG1

 

Biological context of SMUG1

  • When either UNG1 or SMUG1 functions are reintroduced back into the null strain and then subjected to antifolate treatment, the cells revert back to the wild-type phenotype as shown by a restored sensitivity to drug and S-phase arrest [17].
  • SMUG1 is present at similar levels in cell nuclei of non-proliferating and proliferating tissues, indicating a replication- independent role in DNA repair [18].
  • Excision of deaminated cytosine from the vertebrate genome: role of the SMUG1 uracil-DNA glycosylase [18].
  • SMUG1 is able to excise uracil from immunoglobulin genes: insight into mutation versus repair [19].
  • SMUG1, if overexpressed, can partially substitute for UNG to assist antibody diversification as judged by its effect on somatic hypermutation patterns (in both DT40 B cells and mice) as well as a restoration of isotype switching in SMUG-transgenic msh2-/- ung-/- mice [19].
 

Anatomical context of SMUG1

  • Overexpression of NFI-C in NIH-3T3 cells results in an increase in SMUG1 enzyme activity [20].
  • Northern blot analysis performed on mRNAs derived from different cell lines reveals that the steady-state levels of hSMUG1 transcript are about 10-fold lower relative to UDG [20].
  • The HeLa cell extract and hSMUG1 exhibited a similar damage preference (hoU.G > hmU.A, fU.A), and the activities for fU, hmU, and hoU in the cell extract were effectively neutralized with hSMUG1 antibodies [21].
  • Limbic seizures result in dramatically elevated metabolic activity in the hippocampus, whereas vibrissal stimulation results in more modest increases in FDG uptake in the contralateral neocortex [22].
  • Therefore, preserved wall thickness and systolic wall thickening in regions with moderate reduction in blood flow and FDG activity, and in irreversible 201Tl defects that are only mild-to-moderate, provide additional evidence that such regions represent viable myocardium [23].
