Neuronal UV-Initiated Apoptosis is Prevented By 5-Bromo-2’-Deoxyuridine (BrdU) Or A Deficiency in Cockayne Syndrome B Or Xeroderma Pigmentosum A

This project addressed mechanisms of the neuronal DNA damage response after treatment with the model DNA damaging agent ultraviolet light (UV). The thymidine analogue, 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrdU) protected against UV-initiated neuronal apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.001). B...
