Abstract:
:Nucleotide excision repair (NER) removes bulky DNA lesions and is thus crucial for the protection against environmental carcinogens and UV light exposure. Deficiencies in NER cause increased mutation rates and chromosomal aberrations. Current methods for studying NER are mostly based on either quantitation of lesion removal or detection of repair DNA synthesis. Both have their limitations: lesion removal is inaccurate at very short times post-lesion, where the fraction of removal is low. Repair synthesis is difficult to apply to normally cycling cells due to the need to discriminate repair from replicative DNA synthesis. To overcome these problems we developed a method for analysis of NER based on detection of transient single-stranded (ss) DNA stretches generated at the nucleotide excision step. Cells are metabolically labelled with BrdU, exposed to UV-irradiation and the ssDNA transients generated during excision repair are detected using an anti-BrdU antibody. The method allows single-cell microscopic analysis of the distribution of DNA repair sites as well as kinetic analysis of the DNA repair response. Studies using various DNA repair-deficient cell lines indicate that the detection method integrates a number of pre-synthesis nucleotide excision repair stages. Thus, assembled repair sites can be detected even when they may not lead to complete resolution of the DNA lesion. Using this approach, we show that repair helicase-deficient cells differ from endonuclease-deficient cells.

CARCINOGENESIS文献大全abstract::p90 Ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) 4 is a serine-threonine kinase that belongs to the p90RSK family. RSK4 has been proposed as a tumor suppressor gene, related with anti-invasive activity, inhibition of the RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and induction of senescence. Despite the related findings, little...
