Coping with DNA double strand breaks.
نویسنده
چکیده
The repair of DNA double strand breaks (dsb) is important for maintaining the physical and genetic integrity of the genome. Moreover, in humans it is associated with the prevention of diseases such as immune deficiencies and cancer. This review briefly explores the fundamental strategies for repairing dsb, examines how cells maximize the fidelity of dsb repair in the cell cycle and discusses the requirements for dsb repair in the context of chromatin.

Modeling the distribution of deposited energy by alpha particles from Radon 223 decay and its effect on DNA
The ionizing radiations, through physical and chemical processes, lead to simple and complex single- and double- strand breaks, as well as base lesions to the DNA. In this study, taking into account all the physical and chemical processes involved in the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter, the initial damage induced to DNA was evaluated for 5.7 MeV alpha-rays from Radon 223 isotope....

Radiotherapy using various beams is one of the methods for treating cancer, Hadrons used to treat cancers that are near critical organs. The most important part of the cell that is damage by ionizing radiation is DNA. In this study, damages induced in the genetic material of living cells (DNA) defined by the atomic model from the protein data bank (PDB) have been studied by radiati...

Introduction: A high risk for development of severe side effects after radiotherapy may be correlated with high cellular radiosensitivity. To enhance radiation therapy efficiency a fast and reliable in-vitro test is desirable to identify radiosensitive patients. The aim of present study was to identify the mechanism of radiation induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and DSB r...

Objective: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common diseases. Coronary angiography (CAG) is an important apparatus used to diagnose and treat this disease. Since angiography is performed through exposure to ionizing radiation, it can cause harmful effects induced by double-stranded breaks in DNA which is potentially life-threatening damage. The aim of the present study is to inves...
متن کاملThe Role of Long Non Coding RNAs in the Repair of DNA Double Strand Breaks
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are abrasions caused in both strands of the DNA duplex following exposure to both exogenous and endogenous conditions. Such abrasions have deleterious effect in cells leading to genome rearrangements and cell death. A number of repair systems including homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) have been evolved to minimize the fatal effe...

Background: Immunotoxins are comprised of both the cell targeting and the cell killing moieties. We previously established a new immunotoxin, i.e. Shiga toxin granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (StxA1-GM-CSF), comprises of catalytic domain of Stx, as a killing moiety and GM-CSF, as a cell targeting moiety. In this study, the ability of the immunotoxin to induce apoptosis and dou...
