Abstract
Researchers have tried to find novel strategies for cancer treatment in the past decades. Among the utilized methods, administering oncolytic viruses (OVs) alone or combined with other anticancer therapeutic approaches has had promising outcomes, especially in solid tumors. Infecting the tumor cells by these viruses can lead to direct lysis or induction of immune responses. However, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) is considered a significant challenge for oncolytic virotherapy in treating cancer. Based on OV type, hypoxic conditions in the TME can accelerate or repress virus replication. Therefore, genetic manipulation of OVs or other molecular modifications to reduce hypoxia can induce antitumor responses. Moreover, using OVs with tumor lysis capability in the hypoxic TME may be an attractive strategy to overcome the limitations of the therapy. This review summarizes the latest information available in the field of cancer virotherapy and discusses the dual effect of hypoxia on different types of OVs to optimize available related therapeutic methods.

Abstract
Oxygen is the basic molecule which supports life and it truly is "god's gift to life." Despite its immense importance, research on "oxygen biology" has never received the light of the day and has been limited to physiological and biochemical studies. It seems that in modern day biology, oxygen research is summarized in one word "hypoxia." Scientists have focused on hypoxia-induced transcriptomics and molecular-cellular alterations exclusively in disease models. Interestingly, the potential of oxygen to control the basic principles of biology like homeostatic maintenance, transcription, replication, and protein folding among many others, at the molecular level, has been completely ignored. Here, we present a perspective on the crucial role played by oxygen in regulation of basic biological phenomena. Our conclusion highlights the importance of establishing novel research areas like oxygen biology, as there is great potential in this field for basic science discoveries and clinical benefits to the society.

Abstract
Parvoviruses are a group of small DNA viruses with ssDNA genomes flanked by two inverted terminal structures. Due to a limited genetic resource they require host cellular factors and sometimes a helper virus for efficient viral replication. Recent studies have shown that parvoviruses interact with the DNA damage machinery, which has a significant impact on the life cycle of the virus as well as the fate of infected cells. In addition, due to special DNA structures of the viral genomes, parvoviruses are useful tools for the study of the molecular mechanisms underlying viral infection-induced DNA damage response (DDR). This review aims to summarize recent advances in parvovirus-induced DDR, with a focus on the diverse DDR pathways triggered by different parvoviruses and the consequences of DDR on the viral life cycle as well as the fate of infected cells.

Abstract
The oxygen dependent regulation of DNA replication is an essential property of proliferating mammalian cells. In human T24 bladder cancer cells, several hours of hypoxia leads to reversible DNA replication arrest and re-entry of oxygen induces a burst of replication initiation. This short communication provides strong evidence that PD184352 initiates DNA replication in living hypoxic cells without elevating the oxygen level. PD184352 releases the regular hypoxic replicon arrest, however, at a low intensity compared to the effect of reoxygenation. Moreover, PD184352 shows no effect on normoxically incubated as well as reoxygenated T24 cells.

Abstract
Aqueous solutions containing the minichromosomal form of the virus SV40 and the radical scavenger DMSO were subjected to gamma-irradiation, and the resulting formation of single strand breaks (SSB) was quantified. Under the irradiation conditions, most SSBs were produced as a consequence of hydroxyl radical ((•)OH) reactions. By controlling the competition between DMSO and the viral DNA substrate for (•)OH, we are able to estimate the rate coefficient for the reaction of (•)OH with the SV40 minichromosome. The results cannot be described adequately by homogeneous competition kinetics, but it is possible to describe the rate coefficient for the reaction as a function of the scavenging capacity of the solution. The experimentally determined rate coefficient lies in the range 1×10(9) - 2×10(9) L mol(-1) s(-1) at 10(7) s(-1), and increases with increasing scavenging capacity.

Abstract
We examined whether the fast release of replicon initiation after sudden O2 recovery of hypoxically incubated mammalian cells depends on kinase activity of Cdk2. We used a system based on starved/refed T24 cells elaborated previously for such investigations [van Betteraey-Nikoleit M, Eisele KH, Stabenow D and Probst H (2003) Eur J Biochem270, 3880-3890]. Cells subjected to hypoxia concurrently with refeeding accumulate the G1 DNA content within 5-6 h. In this state they are ready to perform, within 1-2 min after O2 recovery, a burst of replicon initiations that marks the start of a synchronous S-phase. We found that Cdk2 binds to the chromatin fraction within 4-6 h after refeeding with fresh medium, irrespective of whether the cells were incubated normoxically or hypoxically. However, inhibition of Cdk2 by olomoucine, roscovitine or the Cdk2/cyclin inhibitory peptide II had no influence on the synchronous burst of replicon initiations. Cdc6 and pRb, possible targets of Cdk2 phosphorylation, behaved differentially. Inhibition did not affect phosphorylation of Cdc6 after reoxygenation, whilst chromatin bound pRb remained hypophosphorylated beyond the initiation burst. Thus, neither Cdk2 activity, though present at the end of the hypoxic period, nor pRb phosphorylation are necessary for releasing the burst of replicon initiations upon oxygen recovery. Consequentially, Cdk2 dependent phosphorylation(s) cannot be a critical trigger of replicon initiation in response to reoxygenation after several hours of hypoxia, at least in the T24 cells studied.

Abstract
It was shown previously [Riedinger, H. J., van Betteraey-Nikoleit, M & Probst, H. (2002) Eur. J. Biochem.269, 2383-2393] that initiation of in vivo SV40 DNA replication is reversibly suppressed by hypoxia in a state where viral minichromosomes exhibit a nearly complete set of replication proteins. Reoxygenation triggers fast completion and post-translational modifications. Trying to reveal such fast changes of chromatin-bound replication proteins in the much more complex replication of the cellular genome itself, we developed a protocol to extend these studies using the human bladder carcinoma cell line T24, which was presynchronized in G1 by starvation. Concomitantly with stimulation of the cells by medium renewal, hypoxia was established. This treatment induced T24 cells to contain a large amount of replicons arrested in the 'hypoxic preinitiation state', ready to initiate replication as soon as normal pO2 was restored. Replicons in other stages of replicative activity were not detectable. Consequently the arrested replicons were rapidly released into synchronous initiation and succeeding elongation. Extraction of T24 nuclei with a Triton X-100 buffer yielded a fraction containing the cellular chromatin, including DNA-bound replication proteins, while unbound proteins were removed. The usefulness of this protocol was tested by the proliferation marker PCNA. We demonstrate here that this protein switches from the remainder cellular protein pool into the Triton-extracted nuclear fraction upon reoxygenation. Employing this protocol, analyses of chromatin-bound MCM2, MCM3, Cdc6 and cdk2 suggests that the 'classical' prereplication complex is already formed during hypoxia.
