Transcriptional Dynamics of DNA Damage Responsive Genes in Circulating Leukocytes during Radiotherapy
26 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
External beam radiation therapy leads to cellular activation of the DNA damage response (DDR). DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) activate the ATM/CHEK2/p53 pathway, inducing the transcription of stress genes. The dynamic nature of this transcriptional response has not been directly observed in vivo in humans. In this study we monitored the messenger RNA transcript abundances of nine DNA damage-responsive genes...
