DSBs are among the most harmful type of DNA damage, inducing serious genetic effects such as cell lethality and mutation. Nucleobase lesions and AP sites, on the other hand, may be less deleterious and are promptly repaired by base excision repair (BER) pathways. Recently, biochemical approaches to quantify nucleobase lesions and AP sites have revealed certain types of non-strand break lesions as harmful DNA damage, called clustered DNA damage. Such clusters can retard nucleobase excision repair enzymes, and can sometimes be converted to DSBs by BER catalysis. This unique character of clustered DNA damage strongly depends on the spatial density of ionization or excitation events occurring at the track end of initial radiation or low energy secondary electrons. In particular, the photoelectric effect of elements comprising biological molecules, followed by emission of Auger electrons, are key factors in determining the future fate of each clustered damage site. This chapter describes biological studies of clustered nucleobase lesions with SSBs or AP sites, and mechanistical studies on core level excitation and Auger relaxation giving rise to clustered DNA damage.</p>","PeriodicalId":39097,"journal":{"name":"Enzymes","volume":"51 ","pages":"79-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40682360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to the effect of lesion complexity, the most recent studies have demonstrated another characteristic of high LET particle radiation-induced DNA damage, clustered DSBs.

Inhibition of DNA synthesis has been a cornerstone of anticancer therapy. A variety of chemotherapy drugs have been developed and many of these are aimed at inhibiting DNA synthesis, as they damage DNA, form DNA adduct and interfere with DNA synthesis. Another type of chemotherapy interferes with the synthesis of nucleotide pools. There are also other types of drugs that inhibit topoisomerases resulting in the interference with DNA replication and transcription. Significant progress has been made regarding radiation therapy that includes X-ray (and γ-ray), proton therapy and heavy ion therapy. The Auger therapy is a type of radiation therapy that differs from X-ray, proton or heavy ion therapy. The method relies on the use of high Z elements such as gadolinium, iodine, gold or silver. Irradiation of these elements results in the release of electrons including the Auger electrons that have strong DNA damaging effect. Tamanoi et al. developed novel nanoparticles containing gadolinium or iodine to place high Z elements at the periphery of the nucleus thus localizing them close to DNA. Irradiation with monochromatic X-ray resulted in the formation of double-strand DNA breaks leading to the destruction of tumor mass.
