Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a processivity factor for DNA polymerases delta and epsilon, is essential for both DNA replication and repair. PCNA is required in the resynthesis step of nucleotide excision repair (NER). After UV irradiation, PCNA translocates into an insoluble protein complex, most likely associated with the nuclear matrix. It has not previously been investigated in vivo whether PCNA complex formation also takes place after oxidative stress. In this study, we have examined the involvement of PCNA in the repair of oxidative DNA damage. PCNA complex formation was studied in normal human cells after treatment with hydrogen peroxide, which generates a variety of oxidative DNA lesions. PCNA was detected by two assays, immunofluorescence and western blot analyses. We observed that PCNA redistributes from a soluble to a DNA-bound form during the repair of oxidative DNA damage. PCNA complex formation was analyzed in two human natural mutant cell lines defective in DNA repair: xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XP-A) and Cockayne syndrome group B (CS-B). XP-A cells are defective in overall genome NER while CS-B cells are defective only in the preferential repair of active genes. Immunofluorescent detection of PCNA complex formation was similar in normal and XP-A cells, but was reduced in CS-B cells. Consistent with this observation, western blot analysis in CS-B cells showed a reduction in the ratio of PCNA relocated as compared to normal and XP-A cells. The efficient PCNA complex formation observed in XP-A cells following oxidative damage suggests that formation of PCNA-dependent repair foci may not require the XPA gene product. The reduced PCNA complex formation observed in CS-B cells suggests that these cells are defective in the processing of oxidative DNA damage. 相似文献

Involvement of DNA polymerase beta in repair of ionizing radiation damage as measured by in vitro plasmid assays 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Characteristic of damage introduced in DNA by ionizing radiation is the induction of a wide range of lesions. Single-strand breaks (SSBs) and base damages outnumber double-strand breaks (DSBs). If unrepaired, these lesions can lead to DSBs and increased mutagenesis. XRCC1 and DNA polymerase beta (polbeta) are thought to be critical elements in the repair of these SSBs and base damages. XRCC1-deficient cells display a radiosensitive phenotype, while proliferating polbeta-deficient cells are not more radiosensitive. We have recently shown that cells deficient in polbeta display increased radiosensitivity when confluent. In addition, cells expressing a dominant negative to polbeta have been found to be radiosensitized. Here we show that repair of radiation-induced lesions is inhibited in extracts with altered polbeta or XRCC1 status, as measured by an in vitro repair assay employing irradiated plasmid DNA. Extracts from XRCC1-deficient cells showed a dramatically reduced capacity to repair ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage. Extracts deficient in polbeta or containing a dominant negative to polbeta also showed reduced repair of radiation-induced SSBs. Irradiated repaired plasmid DNA showed increased incorporation of radioactive nucleotides, indicating use of an alternative long-patch repair pathway. These data show a deficiency in repair of ionizing radiation damage in extracts from cells deficient or altered in polbeta activity, implying that increased radiosensitivity resulted from radiation damage repair deficiencies. 相似文献

Ionizing radiation induces a diverse spectrum of DNA lesions, including strand breaks and oxidized bases. In mammalian cells, ionizing radiation-induced lesions are targets of non-homologous end joining, homologous recombination, and base excision repair. In vitro assays show a potential involvement of DNA polymerase lambda in non-homologous end joining and base excision repair. In this study, we investigated whether DNA polymerase lambda played a significant role in determining ionizing radiation sensitivity. Despite increased sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide, lambda-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts displayed equal survival after exposure to ionizing radiation compared to their wild-type counterparts. In addition, we found increased sensitivity to the topoisomerase inhibitors camptothecin and etoposide in the absence of polymerase lambda. These results do not reveal a major role for DNA polymerase lambda in determining radiosensitivity in vivo. 相似文献

Certain DNA base lesions induced by ionizing radiation or oxidative stress are repaired faster from the transcribed strand of active genes compared to the genome overall. In this study, it was investigated whether radiation-induced DNA strand breaks are preferentially repaired in active genes compared to the genome as a whole in CHO cells. The alkaline unwinding technique coupled to slot-blot hybridization with specific DNA probes was used to study the induction and repair of DNA strand breaks in defined DNA sequences. Results using this technique showed a linear dose response for the formation of radiation-induced DNA strand breaks in the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene. Furthermore, the half-life of radiation-induced strand breaks was less than 5 min in the DHFR gene, in the ribosomal genes, and in the genome as a whole. These results suggest that the repair of DNA strand breaks is fast and uniform in the genome of mammalian cells. 相似文献
