Fang L, Sun Y, Dong M, Yang M, Hao J, Li J, Zhang H, He N, Du L, Xu C. RMI1 facilitates repair of ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage and maintenance of genomic stability. Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:426. [PMID: 38007566 PMCID: PMC10676437 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01726-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Ionizing radiation (IR) causes a wide variety of DNA lesions, of which DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) are the most deleterious. Homologous recombination (HR) is a crucial route responsible for repairing DSBs. RecQ-mediated genome instability protein 1 (RMI1) is a member of an evolutionarily conserved Bloom syndrome complex, which prevents and resolves aberrant recombination products during HR, thereby promoting genome stability. However, little is known about the role of RMI1 in regulating the cellular response to IR. This study aimed to understand the cellular functions and molecular mechanisms by which RMI1 maintains genomic stability after IR exposure. Here, we showed IR upregulated the RMI1 protein level and induced RMI1 relocation to the DNA damage sites. We also demonstrated that the loss of RMI1 in cells resulted in enhanced levels of DNA damage, sustained cell cycle arrest, and impaired HR repair after IR, leading to reduced cell viability and elevated genome instability. Taken together, our results highlighted the direct roles of RMI1 in response to DNA damage induced by IR and implied that RMI1 might be a new genome safeguard molecule to radiation-induced damage.

[Research Progress in CircRNA and Radiotherapy Resistance of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer]. ZHONGGUO FEI AI ZA ZHI = CHINESE JOURNAL OF LUNG CANCER 2021; 24:770-776.

Abstract
As the main type of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common cancer which is characterized by low 5-year survival rate and worse prognosis. Nowadays, some studies show that the low survival rate and worse prognosis are due to the resistance to radiotherapy caused by circRNA. Therefore, to find out the relationship between circRNA and radiotherapy resistance of NSCLC was imoprtant. According to research the relevant literatures, the relationship between circRNA and radiotherapy resistance of NSCLC was explored. CircRNA plays an important role in the invasion, metastasis, proliferation and treatment resistance of NSCLC. The radiation resistance of tumor cells induced by circRNA has become a crucial problem in radiotherapy. CircRNA plays an important role in the radiotherapy resistance of NSCLC.

Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13215352. [PMID: 34771517 PMCID: PMC8582540 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13215352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNA) comprise a distinct class of non-coding RNAs that are abundantly expressed in the cell. CircRNAs have the capacity to regulate gene expression by interacting with regulatory proteins and/or other classes of RNAs. While a vast number of circRNAs have been discovered, the majority still remains poorly characterized. Particularly, there is no detailed information on the identity and functional role of circRNAs that are transcribed from genes encoding components of the DNA damage response and repair (DDRR) network. In this article, we not only review the available published information on DDRR-related circRNAs, but also conduct a bioinformatic analysis on data obtained from public repositories to uncover deposited, yet uncharacterized circRNAs derived from components of the DDRR network. Finally, we interrogate for potential targets that are regulated by this class of molecules and look into potential functional implications.
