摘要

Frequent oxidative modification of the neural genome is a by-product of the high oxygen consumption of the nervous system. Rapid correction of oxidative DNA lesions is essential, as genome stability is a paramount determinant of neural homeostasis. Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1; also known as "APEX1" or "REF1") is a key enzyme for the repair of oxidative DNA damage, although the specific role(s) for this enzyme in the development and maintenance of the nervous system is largely unknown. Here, using conditional inactivation of murine Ape1, we identify critical roles for this protein in the brain selectively after birth, coinciding with tissue oxygenation shifting from a placental supply to respiration. While mice lacking APE1 throughout neurogenesis were viable with little discernible phenotype at birth, rapid and pronounced brain-wide degenerative changes associated with DNA damage were observed immediately after birth leading to early death. Unexpectedly, Ape1(Nes-cre) mice appeared hypothermic with persistent shivering associated with the loss of thermoregulatory serotonergic neurons. We found that APE1 is critical for the selective regulation of Fos1-induced hippocampal immediate early gene expression. Finally, loss of APE1 in combination with p53 inactivation resulted in a profound susceptibility to brain tumors, including medulloblastoma and glioblastoma, implicating oxidative DNA lesions as an etiologic agent in these diseases. Our study reveals APE1 as a major suppressor of deleterious oxidative DNA damage and uncovers specific and broad pathogenic consequences of respiratory oxygenation in the postnatal nervous system.
