Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6927. [PMID: 39000034 PMCID: PMC11241748 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25136927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Non-membrane compartments or biomolecular condensates play an important role in the regulation of cellular processes including DNA repair. Here, an ability of XRCC1, a scaffold protein involved in DNA base excision repair (BER) and single-strand break repair, to form protein-rich microphases in the presence of DNA duplexes was discovered. We also showed that the gap-filling activity of BER-related DNA polymerase λ (Pol λ) is significantly increased by the presence of XRCC1. The stimulation of the Pol λ activity was observed only at micromolar XRCC1 concentrations, which were well above the nanomolar dissociation constant determined for the XRCC1-Pol λ complex and pointed to the presence of an auxiliary stimulatory factor in addition to protein-protein interactions. Indeed, according to dynamic light scattering measurements, the stimulation of the Pol λ activity by XRCC1 was coupled with microphase separation in a protein-DNA mixture. Fluorescence microscopy revealed colocalization of Pol λ, XRCC1, and gapped DNA within the microphases. Thus, stimulation of Pol λ activity is caused both by its interaction with XRCC1 and by specific conditions of microphase separation; this phenomenon is shown for the first time.

Abstract
Time-lapse fluorescence imaging coupled to micro-irradiation devices provides information on the kinetics of DNA repair protein accumulation, from a few seconds to several minutes after irradiation. Charged-particle microbeams are valuable tools for such studies since they provide a way to selectively irradiate micrometric areas within a cell nucleus, control the dose and the micro-dosimetric quantities by means of advanced detection systems and Monte Carlo simulations and monitor the early cell response by means of beamline microscopy. We used the charged-particle microbeam installed at the AIFIRA facility to perform micro-irradiation experiments and measure the recruitment kinetics of two proteins involved in DNA signaling and repair pathways following exposure to protons and α-particles. We developed and validated image acquisition and processing methods to enable a systematic study of the recruitment kinetics of GFP-XRCC1 and GFP-RNF8. We show that XRCC1 is recruited to DNA damage sites a few seconds after irradiation as a function of the total deposited energy and quite independently of the particle LET. RNF8 is recruited to DNA damage sites a few minutes after irradiation and its recruitment kinetics depends on the particle LET.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have shown that particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is closely associated with human health issues, especially pulmonary diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and lung cancer. In this study, particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microbeam energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A rat model of PM2.5 exposure was established by nonsurgical intratracheal instillation, and the effects of biochanin A (BCA) treatment were examined. BCA showed a protective effect; it reduced PM2.5-induced apoptosis and the production of proinflammatory factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and the chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8), as measured using ELISA. These effects were accompanied by increases in the levels of antioxidant enzymes and decreases in the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP). Furthermore, isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based analytical techniques and bioinformatics tools were used to identify putative biomarkers, including XRCC1, MP2K5, IGJ, and F1LQ12, and the results were verified by Western blot analysis. In conclusion, our findings have scientific significance for the application of flavonoids in preventive and therapeutic strategies for PM2.5-associated pulmonary diseases and for the promotion of human health.

Abstract
Mapping the genome-wide distribution of DNA lesions is key to understanding damage signalling and DNA repair in the context of genome and chromatin structure. Analytical tools based on high-throughput next-generation sequencing have revolutionized our progress with such investigations, and numerous methods are now available for various base lesions and modifications as well as for DNA double-strand breaks. Considering that single-strand breaks are by far the most common type of lesion and arise not only from exposure to exogenous DNA-damaging agents, but also as obligatory intermediates of DNA replication, recombination and repair, it is surprising that our insight into their genome-wide patterns, that is the 'SSBreakome', has remained rather obscure until recently, due to a lack of suitable mapping technology. Here we briefly review classical methods for analysing single-strand breaks and discuss and compare in detail a series of recently developed high-resolution approaches for the genome-wide mapping of these lesions, their advantages and limitations and how they have already provided valuable insight into the impact of this type of damage on the genome.

STRIDE-a fluorescence method for direct, specific in situ detection of individual single- or double-strand DNA breaks in fixed cells. Nucleic Acids Res 2020; 48:e14.

Abstract
We here describe a technique termed STRIDE (SensiTive Recognition of Individual DNA Ends), which enables highly sensitive, specific, direct in situ detection of single- or double-strand DNA breaks (sSTRIDE or dSTRIDE), in nuclei of single cells, using fluorescence microscopy. The sensitivity of STRIDE was tested using a specially developed CRISPR/Cas9 DNA damage induction system, capable of inducing small clusters or individual single- or double-strand breaks. STRIDE exhibits significantly higher sensitivity and specificity of detection of DNA breaks than the commonly used terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling assay or methods based on monitoring of recruitment of repair proteins or histone modifications at the damage site (e.g. γH2AX). Even individual genome site-specific DNA double-strand cuts induced by CRISPR/Cas9, as well as individual single-strand DNA scissions induced by the nickase version of Cas9, can be detected by STRIDE and precisely localized within the cell nucleus. We further show that STRIDE can detect low-level spontaneous DNA damage, including age-related DNA lesions, DNA breaks induced by several agents (bleomycin, doxorubicin, topotecan, hydrogen peroxide, UV, photosensitized reactions) and fragmentation of DNA in human spermatozoa. The STRIDE methods are potentially useful in studies of mechanisms of DNA damage induction and repair in cell lines and primary cultures, including cells with impaired repair mechanisms.

Abstract
DNA lesions induce recruitment and accumulation of various repair factors, resulting in formation of discrete nuclear foci. Using superresolution fluorescence microscopy as well as live cell and quantitative imaging, we demonstrate that X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1), a key factor in single-strand break and base excision repair, is recruited into nuclear bodies formed in response to replication-related single-strand breaks. Intriguingly, these bodies are assembled immediately in the vicinity of these breaks and never fully colocalize with replication foci. They are structurally organized, containing canonical promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear body protein SP100 concentrated in a peripheral layer, and XRCC1 in the center. They also contain other factors, including PML, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), ligase IIIα, and origin recognition complex subunit 5. The breast cancer 1 and -2 C terminus domains of XRCC1 are essential for formation of these repair foci. These results reveal that XRCC1-contaning foci constitute newly recognized PML-like nuclear bodies that accrete and locally deliver essential factors for repair of single-strand DNA breaks in replication regions.-Kordon, M.

Effects of hyperthermia as a mitigation strategy in DNA damage-based cancer therapies. Semin Cancer Biol 2016; 37-38:96-105.

Abstract
Utilization of thermal therapy (hyperthermia) is defined as the application of exogenous heat induction and represents a concept that is far from new as it goes back to ancient times when heat was used for treating various diseases, including malignancies. Such therapeutic strategy has gained even more popularity (over the last few decades) since various studies have shed light into understanding hyperthermia's underlying molecular mechanism(s) of action. In general, hyperthermia is applied as complementary (adjuvant) means in therapeutic protocols combining chemotherapy and/or irradiation both of which can induce irreversible cellular DNA damage. Furthermore, according to a number of in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies, hyperthermia has been shown to enhance the beneficial effects of DNA targeting therapeutic strategies by interfering with DNA repair response cascades. Therefore, the continuously growing evidence supporting hyperthermia's beneficial role in cancer treatment can also encourage its application as a DNA repair mitigation strategy. In this review article, we aim to provide detailed information on how hyperthermia acts on DNA damage and repair pathways and thus potentially contributing to various adjuvant therapeutic protocols relevant to more efficient cancer treatment strategies.
