Differential and Common DNA Repair Pathways for Topoisomerase I- and II-Targeted Drugs in a Genetic DT40 Repair Cell Screen Panel
16 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Clinical topoisomerase I (Top1) and II (Top2) inhibitors trap topoisomerases on DNA, thereby inducing protein-linked DNA breaks. Cancer cells resist the drugs by removing topoisomerase-DNA complexes, and repairing the drug-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) by homologous recombination and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). Because numerous enzymes and cofactors are involved in the removal of the...
