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

Multipotent hematopoietic cells susceptible to alternative double-strand break repair pathways that promote genome rearrangements.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hematopoietic multipotent progenitor cells are particularly susceptible to the formation of chromosomal rearrangements analogous to those observed in human hematopolietic malignancies.

Escherichia coli-derived outer membrane vesicles are genotoxic to human enterocyte-like cells.
TL;DR: E. coli derived OMVs, whether from avirulent or pathogenic strains are potentially genotoxic, and are found to internalised by Caco-2 cells, increased cell numbers, induced double-stranded DNA breaks, and recruited γH2Ax to the nucleus.

TL;DR: A review is made of the genetic studies related to t-MDS/AML predisposition, focusing on the mechanistic findings of how specific chemotherapeutic drug exposure produces DNA damage and induces the chromosomal abnormalities characteristic of t- MDS/ AML.

TL;DR: It is suggested that delayed cell death contributes to the progressive CID phenotype of the Artemis patient, and F96-224 cells represents a novel phenotype for a hypomorphic cell line.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that in mice, lens epithelial cells in the peripheral region repair DNA double strand breaks (DSB) after exposure to 20 and 100 mGy more slowly compared with circulating blood lymphocytes, as demonstrated by counts of γH2AX foci in cell nuclei.

TL;DR: One such compound, 2-(4-morpholinyl)-8-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, LY294002, completely and specifically abolished PtdIns 3-kinase activity, which may be beneficial in the treatment of proliferative diseases as well as in elucidating the biological role of the kinase in cellular proliferation and growth factor response.

Megabase chromatin domains involved in DNA double-strand breaks in vivo.
TL;DR: The results offer direct visual confirmation that γ-H2AX forms en masse at chromosomal sites of DNA double-strand breaks and suggest the possible existence of units of higher order chromatin structure involved in monitoring DNA integrity.

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.
