EGFR Nuclear Translocation Modulates DNA Repair following Cisplatin and Ionizing Radiation Treatment
25 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression is associated with resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It modulates DNA repair after radiation-induced damage through association with the catalytic subunit of DNA protein kinase (DNA-PKcs). We investigated the role of EGFR nuclear import and its association with DNA-PKcs on DNA repair after exposure to cisplatin or ionizing radiation (IR). The model...
