DNA double strand breaks (DNA-DSBs) are among the most lethal DNA lesions leading to genomic instability and repaired by either homologous recombination (HR) or the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to assess the importance and the level of activation of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair pathways in three cell lines, CCRF-CEM and MOLT-4 derived from T lymphocytes and SUP-B15 derived from B lymphocytes following treatment with chemotherapy agent daunorubicin.
The Gamma histone H2AX (γH2AX) assay was used assess the effects of DNA-PK inhibitor NU7026 and RAD51 inhibitor RI-2 on repair of DNA-DSB following treatment with daunorubicin. In all cell lines, the NHEJ DNA repair pathway appeared more rapid and efficient. MOLT-4 and CCFR-CEM cells utilised both NHEJ and HR pathways for DNA-DSB repair. Whereas, SUP-B15 cells utilised only NHEJ for DSB repair, suggestive of a deficiency in HR repair pathways.
DNA双链断裂(DNA-DSBs)是最具致死性的DNA损伤之一,可导致基因组不稳定,通过同源重组(HR)或非同源末端连接(NHEJ)机制进行修复。本研究的目的是评估在用化疗药物柔红霉素处理后,源自T淋巴细胞的CCRF-CEM和MOLT-4以及源自B淋巴细胞的SUP-B15这三种细胞系中,非同源末端连接(NHEJ)和同源重组(HR)DNA修复途径的激活重要性和水平。
使用γ组蛋白H2AX(γH2AX)检测法评估DNA-PK抑制剂NU7026和RAD51抑制剂RI-2对柔红霉素处理后DNA-DSB修复的影响。在所有细胞系中,NHEJ DNA修复途径显得更快且更有效。MOLT-4和CCFR-CEM细胞利用NHEJ和HR途径进行DNA-DSB修复。然而,SUP-B15细胞仅利用NHEJ进行DSB修复,提示HR修复途径存在缺陷。
