Radiosensitivity in breast cancer assessed by the histone γ-H2AX and 53BP1 foci
BACKGROUND High expression of constitutive histone γ-H2AX, a sensitive marker of DNA damage, might be indicative of defective DNA repair pathway or genomic instability. 53BP1 (p53-binding protein 1) is a conserved checkpoint protein with properties of a DNA double-strand breaks sensor. This study explores the relationship between the clinical radiosensitivity of tumor patients and the expressio...
متن کاملMicrowaves from GSM Mobile Telephones Affect 53BP1 and γ-H2AX Foci in Human Lymphocytes from Hypersensitive and Healthy Persons
The data on biologic effects of nonthermal microwaves (MWs) from mobile telephones are diverse, and these effects are presently ignored by safety standards of the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). In the present study, we investigated effects of MWs of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) at different carrier frequencies on human lymphocytes from h...
متن کاملAnalysis of Lymphocytic DNA Damage in Early Multiple Sclerosis by Automated Gamma-H2AX and 53BP1 Foci Detection: A Case Control Study
BACKGROUND In response to DNA double-strand breaks, the histone protein H2AX becomes phosphorylated at its C-terminal serine 139 residue, referred to as γ-H2AX. Formation of γ-H2AX foci is associated with recruitment of p53-binding protein 1 (53BP1), a regulator of the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks. γ-H2AX expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was recently pro...
متن کاملDecay of γ-H2AX foci correlates with potentially lethal damage repair in prostate cancer cells.
To determine the relationship between ionizing radiation-induced levels of γ-H2AX foci and cell survival in cultured prostate cancer cell lines, three prostate cancer cell lines: LNCaP (wt TP53), DU145 (mut TP53) and PC3 (TP53 null), were studied. For γ-H2AX foci induction, cells were irradiated with a single dose of 2 Gy and foci levels were studied at 30 min and 24 h after irradiation. Cell s...
متن کاملBRCA1 Forms a Functional Complex with γ-H2AX as a Late Response to Genotoxic Stress
Following genotoxic stress, the histone H2AX becomes phosphorylated at serine 139 by the ATM/ATR family of kinases. The tumor suppressor BRCA1, also phosphorylated by ATM/ATR kinases, is one of several proteins that colocalize with phospho-H2AX (γ-H2AX) at sites of active DNA repair. Both the precise mechanism and the purpose of BRCA1 recruitment to sites of DNA damage are unknown. Here we show...
