DNA Repair Pathways in Cancer Therapy and Resistance
DNA repair pathways are triggered to maintain genetic stability and integrity when mammalian cells are exposed to endogenous or exogenous DNA-damaging agents.

DNA repair defects in cancer and therapeutic opportunities
In this review, Hopkins et al. review the major classes of DNA repair and damage signaling defects in cancer, the genomic instability that they give rise to, and therapeutic strategies to exploit the resulting vulnerabilities.

Revisiting Two Decades of Research Focused on Targeting APE1 for Cancer Therapy: The Pros and Cons
APE1 is an essential endodeoxyribonuclease of the base excision repair pathway that maintains genome stability. It was identified as a pivotal factor favoring tumor progression and chemoresistance through the control of gene expression by a redox-based ...

Genomic instability is the hallmark of various cancers with the increasing accumulation of DNA damage. The application of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in cancer treatment is typically based on this property of cancers.

Anti-neoplastic effect of DNA cross-linking agents such as cisplatin, mitomycin C, and psoralen is attributed to their ability to induce DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs), which block replication, transcription, and linear repair pathways by preventing ...

DNA fi ber fl uorography is widely employed to study the kinetics of DNA replication, but the usefulness of this approach has been limited by the lack of freely-available automated analysis tools.

Loop extrusion as a mechanism for DNA damage repair foci formation
The repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is essential for safeguarding genome integrity. When a DSB forms, the PI3K-related ATM kinase rapidly triggers the establishment of megabase-sized, chromatin domains decorated with phosphorylated histone H2AX

The integrity of the genome is essential to the health of the individual and to the reproductive success of a species. Transmission of genetic information is in a selective balance between two opposing forces, the maintenance of genetic stability versus elimination of mutational change and loss of evolutionary potential. Caenorhabditis elegans provides

Identification of MLH2/hPMS1 dominant mutations that prevent DNA mismatch repair function
Reyes et al. identified and characterized dominant mutations in the MutL homolog MLH2 (in S. cerevisiae) and PMS1 (in humans) causing an increased mutator phenotype.

Optimality in DNA repair [PDF]
DNA within cells is subject to damage from various sources. Organisms have evolved a number of mechanisms to repair DNA damage. The activity of repair enzymes carries its own risk, however, because the repair of two nearby lesions may lead to the breakup of DNA and result in cell death.
