Endogenous DNA damage, most likely caused by aldehydes, severely affects hematopoietic stem cells in FA, resulting in progressive bone marrow failure and the development of leukemia. Recent studies revealed that expression levels of <em>SLFN11</em> affect the replication stress response and are a strong determinant in cell killing by DNA-damaging cancer chemotherapy. Because <em>SLFN11</em> is highly expressed in the hematopoietic system, we speculated that <em>SLFN11</em> may have a significant role in FA pathophysiology. Indeed, we found that DNA damage sensitivity in FA cells is significantly mitigated by the loss of <em>SLFN11</em> expression. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that <em>SLFN11</em> destabilizes the nascent DNA strands upon replication fork stalling.

Replication stress caused by DNA lesions, transcription-replication conflicts, and other obstacles to the replication machinery must be efficiently overcome in ways that minimize errors and maximize completion of DNA synthesis. Replication fork reversal is one mechanism that helps cells tolerate replication stress. This process involves reannealing of parental template DNA strands and generation of a nascent-nascent DNA duplex. While fork reversal may be beneficial by facilitating DNA repair or template switching, it must be confined to the appropriate contexts to preserve genome stability. Many enzymes have been implicated in this process including ATP-dependent DNA translocases like SMARCAL1, ZRANB3, HLTF, and the helicase FBH1. In addition, the RAD51 recombinase is required. Many additional factors and regulatory activities also act to ensure reversal is beneficial instead of yielding undesirable outcomes. Finally, reversed forks must also be stabilized and often need to be restarted to complete DNA synthesis. Disruption or deregulation of fork reversal causes a variety of human diseases. In this review we will describe the latest models for reversal and key mechanisms of regulation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":300,"journal":{"name":"DNA Repair","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 103731"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1568786424001071/pdfft?md5=bb6f6902e0f7dc930ab44cf546520bf3&pid=1-s2.0-S1568786424001071-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141780444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aberrant expression of A3A and A3B in cancer cells leads to accumulation of mutations with specific single-base substitution (SBS) signatures, characterized by C→T and C→G changes, in a number of tumor types. In addition to fueling mutagenesis, A3A and A3B, particularly A3A, induce DNA replication stress, DNA damage, and chromosomal instability through their catalytic activities, triggering a range of cellular responses. Thus, A3A/B have emerged as key drivers of genome evolution during cancer development, contributing to tumorigenesis, tumor heterogeneity, and therapeutic resistance. Yet, the expression of A3A/B in cancer cells presents a cancer vulnerability that can be exploited therapeutically. In this review, we discuss the recent studies that shed light on the mechanisms regulating A3A expression and the impact of A3A in cancer.

The current standard treatment involves invasive surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy employing temozolomide (TMZ). Resistance to TMZ is, however, a major challenge. Previous work from our group has identified candidate genes linked to TMZ resistance, including genes encoding translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases iota (Polɩ) and kappa (Polκ). These specialized enzymes are known for bypassing lesions and tolerating DNA damage. Here, we investigated the roles of Polɩ and Polκ in TMZ resistance, employing MGMT-deficient U251-MG glioblastoma cells, with knockout of either <em>POLI</em> or <em>POLK</em> genes encoding Polɩ and Polκ, respectively, and assess their viability and genotoxic stress responses upon subsequent TMZ treatment. Cells lacking either of these polymerases exhibited a significant decrease in viability following TMZ treatment compared to parental counterparts. The restoration of the missing polymerase led to a recovery of cell viability. Furthermore, knockout cells displayed increased cell cycle arrest, mainly in late S-phase, and lower levels of genotoxic stress after TMZ treatment, as assessed by a reduction of γH2AX foci and flow cytometry data. This implies that TMZ treatment does not trigger a significant H2AX phosphorylation response in the absence of these proteins. Interestingly, combining TMZ with Mirin (double-strand break repair pathway inhibitor) further reduced the cell viability and increased DNA damage and γH2AX positive cells in TLS KO cells, but not in parental cells. These findings underscore the crucial roles of Polɩ and Polκ in conferring TMZ resistance and the potential backup role of homologous recombination in the absence of these TLS polymerases. Targeting these TLS enzymes, along with double-strand break DNA repair inhibition, could, therefore, provide a promising strategy to enhance TMZ's effectiveness in treating GBM.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":300,"journal":{"name":"DNA Repair","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 103715"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1568786424000910/pdfft?md5=5c94860c649134a2ff80bcadd7bc1372&pid=1-s2.0-S1568786424000910-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141637256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By generating a site-specific DNA double strand break (DSB) via I-SceI endonuclease expression in S. cerevisiae without damaging other cellular components, this study demonstrated that DNA repair does trigger oxidative stress. Deleting genes participating in the initiation of the resection step of homologous recombination (HR), like the MRX complex, resulted in stimulation of ROS. In contrast, deleting genes acting downstream of HR resection suppressed ROS levels. Additionally, blocking non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) also suppressed ROS. Further analysis identified Rad53 as a key player that relays DNA damage signals to alter redox metabolism in an HR-specific manner. These results suggest both HR and NHEJ can drive metabolism changes and oxidative stress, with NHEJ playing a more prominent role in ROS stimulation. Further analysis revealed a correlation between DSB-induced ROS increase and enhanced activity of NADPH oxidase Yno1 and various antioxidant enzymes. Deleting the antioxidant gene SOD1 induced synthetic lethality in HR-deficient mutants like <em>mre11Δ</em> and <em>rad51Δ</em> upon DSB induction.

Double strand breaks (DSBs) are the most toxic form of DNA damage, and DSBs pose the greatest danger to genomic integrity. In higher vertebrates, the non-homologous end joining pathway (NHEJ) is the predominate pathway that repairs DSBs. NHEJ has three steps: 1) DNA end recognition by the DNA dependent protein kinase [DNA-PK], 2) DNA end-processing by numerous NHEJ accessory factors, and 3) DNA end ligation by the DNA ligase IV complex (LX4).

What was surprising from these structural studies was the observation of two distinct types of DNA-PK dimers that represent NHEJ long-range complexes.
