Up‐regulation of DNA‐dependent protein kinase correlates with radiation resistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
DNA-PK is a nuclear protein with serine/threonine kinase activity and forms a complex consisting of the DNA-PKcs and a heterodimer of Ku70 and Ku80 proteins. Recent laboratory experiments have demonstrated that the DNA-PK complex formation is one of the major pathways by which mammalian cells respond to DNA double-strand breaks induced by ionizing radiation. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between...
