  1. 6. Recognition and signaling of DNA double-strand breaks in human cells

    Författare :Ismail Hassan Ismail; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :DNA-PK; DNA double-strand break; DSB; DNA single-strand break; SSB; DNA damage; ionizing radiation; IR; DNA repair; calicheamicin kappa1; ATM; hydrogen peroxide; H2AX; radiotherapy; radiosensitizer; flow cytometry;

    Sammanfattning : DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most toxic type of DNA damage. Fortunately, our cells have highly conserved pathways that detect and repair DSBs. Defects in DSB signaling and DSB repair pathways result in genomic instability that predisposes for cancer development. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Induction and repair of DNA double-strand breaks in human cells exposed to different radiation qualities

    Författare :Irina Radulescu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :DSB; chromatin structure; high-LET; heat-labile sites; PFGE; DNA-PKcs; XRCC1; PARP-1; pATM; gamma-H2AX; 53BP1;

    Sammanfattning : Radiation therapy is used in attempting to kill tumor cells by inducing DNA double- strand breaks (DSB), the most critical DNA lesions. Recent and planned radiation therapy strategies use high-linear energy transfer (LET) radiation to effectively treat malignant tumors. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Role of Non-Homologous End-Joining in Repair of Radiation-Induced DNA Double-Strand Breaks

    Författare :Karin Karlsson; Bo Stenerlöw; Jörgen Carlsson; Thomas Helleday; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Molecular biology; DNA damage; DNA repair; DSB; NHEJ; DNA-PK; ionising radiation; high-LET; heat-labile sites; PFGE; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Efficient and correct repair of DNA damage, especially DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), is vital for the survival of individual cells and organisms. Defects in the DNA repair may lead to cell death or genomic instability and development of cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Cellular effects after exposure to mixed beams of ionizing radiation

    Författare :Elina Staaf; Andrzej Wojcik; Siamak Haghdoost; Eva Forssell-Aronsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionizing radiation; high LET; low LET; mixed beams; combined exposure; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Mixed beams of ionizing radiation in our environment originate from space, the bedrock and our own houses. Radiotherapy patients treated with boron neutron capture therapy or with high energy photons are also exposed to mixed beams of gamma radiation and neutrons. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Unwrapping the role of WRAP53β in DNA damage response

    Författare :Hanif Rassoolzadeh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : WRAP53β is a WD40 domain protein with multifaceted capabilities in several biological processes in different cellular compartments. This includes transportation of the Survival of motor neuron (SMN) complex, small Cajal body-specific (sca) RNAs and the telomerase enzyme to Cajal bodies, as well as targeting of the E3 ligase RNF8 to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
