In addition, 6-thio-dG pretreatment effectively increased γ-ray irradiation induced telomere dysfunction (<em>P</em>&lt;0.05), resulting in disruption of chromosome stability and inhibition of the ATM pathway, thereby impairing genomic DNA and telomeric DNA repair, which was closely associated with enhanced drug-mediated radiation-induced apoptosis.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>6-thio-dG increases the radiosensitivity of NSCLC by inhibiting ATM and inducing telomere dysfunction, which can potentially be used as a strategy for radiotherapy for NSCLC.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34051,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Medicine and Protection","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 64-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666555722000235/pdfft?md5=e92a911f9ab2b8852011cf7eb97e3051&pid=1-s2.0-S2666555722000235-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41728331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
