Importance of EGFR/ERCC1 Interaction Following Radiation-Induced DNA Damage
30 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in cellular response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy through modulation of DNA repair. EGFR activates DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) stimulating repair of DNA strand breaks (SB) and interstrand crosslinks (ICL). We investigated the role of EGFR in repair of ionizing radiation (IR)-induced SB independently of DNA-PK. EXPERIMENTAL...
