Abstract
The individual response to ionizing radiation (IR) raises a number of medical, scientific, and societal issues. While the term "radiosensitivity" was used by the pioneers at the beginning of the 20st century to describe only the radiation-induced adverse tissue reactions related to cell death, a confusion emerged in the literature from the 1930s, as "radiosensitivity" was indifferently used to describe the toxic, cancerous, or aging effect of IR. In parallel, the predisposition to radiation-induced adverse tissue reactions (radiosensitivity), notably observed after radiotherapy appears to be caused by different mechanisms than those linked to predisposition to radiation-induced cancer (radiosusceptibility). This review aims to document these differences in order to better estimate the different radiation-induced risks. It reveals that there are very few syndromes associated with the loss of biological functions involved directly in DNA damage recognition and repair as their role is absolutely necessary for cell viability. By contrast, some cytoplasmic proteins whose functions are independent of genome surveillance may also act as phosphorylation substrates of the ATM protein to regulate the molecular response to IR. The role of the ATM protein may help classify the genetic syndromes associated with radiosensitivity and/or radiosusceptibility.

Radiobiological Characterization of Tuberous Sclerosis: a Delay in the Nucleo-Shuttling of ATM May Be Responsible for Radiosensitivity. Mol Neurobiol 2017; 55:4973-4983. [PMID: 28786016 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-017-0648-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2017] [Accepted: 06/07/2017] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) syndrome is associated with numerous cutaneous pathologies (notably on the face), epilepsy, intellectual disability and developmental retardation and, overall, high occurrence of benign tumors in several organs, like angiofibromas, giant cell astrocytomas, renal angiomyolipomas, and pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. TSC is caused by mutations of either of the hamartin or tuberin proteins that are mainly cytoplasmic. Some studies published in the 1980s reported that TSC is associated with radiosensitivity. However, its molecular basis in TSC cells is not documented enough. Here, we examined the functionality of the repair and signaling of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) in fibroblasts derived from TSC patients. Quiescent TSC fibroblast cells elicited abnormally low rate of recognized DSB reflected by a low yield of nuclear foci formed by phosphorylated H2AX histones. Irradiated TSC cells also presented a delay in the nucleo-shuttling of the ATM kinase, potentially due to a specific binding of ATM to mutated TSC protein in cytoplasm. Lastly, TSC fibroblasts showed abnormally high MRE11 nuclease activity suggesting genomic instability. A combination of biphosphonates and statins complemented these impairments by facilitating the nucleoshuttling of ATM and increasing the yield of recognized DSB. Our results showed that TSC belongs to the group of syndromes associated with low but significant defect of DSB signaling and delay in the ATM nucleo-shuttling associated with radiosensitivity.
