TLDR
It is shown here that NHEJ-defective hamster cells (CHO mutant V3 cells) have strongly reduced repair in all cell cycle phases after 1 Gy of irradiation, and HR is particularly important in late S/G2, where both pathways contribute to repair and radioresistance.Abstract:
Little is known about the quantitative contributions of nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) to DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in different cell cycle phases after physiologically relevant doses of ionizing radiation. Using immunofluorescence detection of -H2AX nuclear foci as a novel approach for monitoring the repair of DSBs, we show here that NHEJ-defective hamster cells (CHO mutant V3 cells) have strongly reduced repair in all cell cycle phases after 1 Gy of irradiation. In contrast, HR-defective CHO irs1SF cells have a minor repair defect in G1, greater impairment in S, and a substantial defect in late S/G2. Furthermore, the radiosensitivity of irs1SF cells is slight in G1 but dramatically higher in late S/G2, while V3 cells show high sensitivity throughout the cell cycle. These findings show that NHEJ is important in all cell cycle phases, while HR is particularly important in late S/G2, where both pathways contribute to repair and radioresistance. In contrast to DSBs produced by ionizing radiation, DSBs produced by the replication inhibitor aphidicolin are repaired entirely by HR. irs1SF, but not V3, cells show hypersensitivity to aphidicolin treatment. These data provide the first evaluation of the cell cycle-specific contributions of NHEJ and HR to the repair of radiation-induced versus replication-associated DSBs.read more

TL;DR: Persistent down-regulation of HR function by the tumor microenvironment could result in low-fidelity DNA repair and have significant implications for response to therapy and genetic instability in human cancers.

TL;DR: This study suggests that the aggressiveness of the disease and poor prognosis of AML patients with FLT3/ITD mutations could be the result of increased genomic instability that is driven by higher endogenous ROS, increased DNA damage, and decreased end-joining fidelity.

TL;DR: It is proposed that MOF, through H4K16ac (histone code), has a critical role at multiple stages in the cellular DNA damage response and DSB repair, and greatly decreased DNA double-strand break repair by both NHEJ and homologous recombination.

Two-phase dynamics of p53 in the DNA damage response
TL;DR: A four-module model of the p53 signaling network is proposed and it is found that the cellular response is mediated by both the level and posttranslational modifications of p53 and that p53 is activated in a progressive manner.

Evidence for a lack of DNA double-strand break repair in human cells exposed to very low x-ray doses

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that foci of γ-H2AX (a phosphorylated histone), detected by immunofluorescence, are quantitatively the same as DSBs and are capable of quantifying the repair of individual D SBs, allowing the investigation of DSB repair after radiation doses as low as 1 mGy, an improvement by several orders of magnitude over current methods.
