Abstract
AbstractIncreased frequency of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) with aging suggests an age-associated decline in DSB repair efficiency, which is also influenced by the epigenetic landscape. H4 acetylation at lysine 16 (H4K16Ac) has been related to DSB repair since deacetylation of this mark is required for efficient 53BP1 recruitment to DSBs. Although age-associated changes in H4K16Ac levels have been studied, their contribution to age-related DSB accumulation remains unknown. In vitro aged Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDFs) display lower levels of H4K16A that correlate with reduced recruitment of 53BP1 to basal DSBs. Following DNA damage induction, early passage (EP) cells suffered from a transient H4K16 deacetylation that allowed proper 53BP1 recruitment to DSBs. In contrast, to reach this specific and optimum level, aged cells responded by increasing their overall lower H4K16Ac levels. Induced hyperacetylation of late passage (LP) cells using trichostatin A increased H4K16Ac levels but did not ameliorate 53BP1 recruitment. Instead, deacetylation induced by MOF silencing reduced H4K16Ac levels and compromised 53BP1 recruitment in both EP and LP cells. Age-associated decrease of H4K16Ac levels contributes to the repair defect displayed by in vitro aged cells. H4K16Ac responds to DNA damage in order to reach a specific, optimum level that allows proper 53BP1 recruitment. This response may be compromised with age, as LP cells depart from lower H4K16Ac levels. Variations in H4K16Ac following the activation of the DNA damage response and aging point at this histone mark as a key mediator between DNA repair and age-associated chromatin alterations.

Abstract
Purpose Breast cancer usually originates in the glandular tissue of the breast. However, inflamed adipose tissue surrounding glandular tissue may expedite the local growth of cancerous cells. Exposing adipose tissue to radiation during mammography might cause inflammation in adipose tissue. This inflammation depends on the dose, and thus on the energy deposited from the X-ray mammography. Therefore, estimating the absorbed dose to adipose tissue during mammography is essential in breast cancer research. Materials and Methods Absorbed dose to adipose tissue in the breast is determined using a new geometrical (semi-elliptical) model and Monte Carlo N-Particle transport code (MCNP6). X-ray mammogram images of patient breasts were taken as the basis of the new compressed breast geometry. The source probability density used in the MCNP6 code was generated from a published X-ray spectrum corresponding to tube voltage and air kerma. The relationship between various mammogram parameters such as peak tube voltage, compressed breast thickness, and adipose tissue weight fraction versus estimated absorbed dose is established for analysis. Results Significant influences of adipose tissue weight fraction on absorbed dose were observed. Conclusion Estimating the absorbed dose to breast adipose tissue during mammography and patients' degree of obesity are important factors in breast cancer research.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mammography is the diagnostic imaging practice used in screening to detect early lesions suspected of malignancy. It uses a low energy X-ray beam in which a low dose in the order of 2-3 mGy is delivered to patient breast cells. However, it has been speculated that it could lead to significant cell damage, when compared to conventional X-ray. We investigated the biological effects of low doses, with mean glandular doses (MGDs) of 2.5 mGy and 2.5 + 2.5 mGy, on mammary cells in vitro. METHODS We used the non-tumorigenic cell line (MCF-10A) and two tumor cells lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Colony formation, apoptosis, and double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) were quantified. RESULTS The selected MGD regimens did not alter the formation of colonies by any of the cell lines. MCF-7 cells exhibited a markedly increase in apoptosis, 24 h after the single-dose protocol; MCF-10A cells underwent apoptosis only after 72 h, with both irradiation regimens, while MDA-MB-231 cells (highly invasive and metastatic) were not susceptible to apoptosis. The detection of γH2AX histone in the nuclei of irradiated cells showed that the double-dose resulted in increase of DSBs, especially in tumor cell lines. CONCLUSIONS Although the health benefits of early breast screening remain indisputable, our future perspective is to better understand the biological basis for the effects of low dose radiation on breast cells and to investigate if and under what conditions there would be a risky situation in repeated mammography screening, in both asymptomatic and symptomatic women.

Abstract
DNA repair mechanisms play a crucial role in maintaining genome integrity. However, the increased frequency of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and genome rearrangements in aged individuals suggests an age-associated DNA repair deficiency. Previous work from our group revealed a delayed firing of the DNA damage response in human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) from aged donors. We now report a decreased activity of the main DSB repair pathways, the canonical non-homologous end-joining (c-NHEJ) and the homologous recombination (HR) in these HMECs from older individuals. We describe here a deficient recruitment of 53BP1 to DSB sites in G1 cells, probably influenced by an altered epigenetic regulation. 53BP1 absence at some DSBs is responsible for the age-associated DNA repair defect, as it permits the ectopic formation of BRCA1 foci while still in the G1 phase. CtIP and RPA foci are also formed in G1 cells from aged donors, but RAD51 is not recruited, thus indicating that extensive DNA-end resection occurs in these breaks although HR is not triggered. These results suggest an age-associated switch of DSB repair from canonical to highly mutagenic alternative mechanisms that promote the formation of genome rearrangements, a source of genome instability that might contribute to the aging process.

Abstract
Aging is a degenerative process in which genome instability plays a crucial role. To gain insight into the link between organismal aging and DNA repair capacity, we analyzed DNA double-strand break (DSB) resolution efficiency in human mammary epithelial cells from 12 healthy donors of young and old ages. The frequency of DSBs was measured by quantifying the number of γH2AX foci before and after 1Gy of γ-rays and it was higher in cells from aged donors (ADs) at all times analyzed. At 24 hours after irradiation, ADs retained a significantly higher frequency of residual DSBs than young donors (YDs), which had already reached values close to basal levels. The kinetics of DSB induction and disappearance showed that cells from ADs and YDs repair DSBs with similar speed, although analysis of early times after irradiation indicate that a repair defect may lie within the firing of the DNA repair machinery in AD cells. Indeed, using a mathematical model we calculated a constant factor of delay affecting aged human epithelial cells repair kinetics. This defect manifests with the accumulation of DSBs that might eventually undergo illegitimate repair, thus posing a relevant threat to the maintenance of genome integrity in older individuals.

Abstract
Knowledge about established breast carcinogens can support improved and modernized toxicological testing methods by identifying key mechanistic events. Ionizing radiation (IR) increases the risk of breast cancer, especially for women and for exposure at younger ages, and evidence overall supports a linear dose-response relationship. We used the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework to outline and evaluate the evidence linking ionizing radiation with breast cancer from molecular initiating events to the adverse outcome through intermediate key events, creating a qualitative AOP. We identified key events based on review articles, searched PubMed for recent literature on key events and IR, and identified additional papers using references. We manually curated publications and evaluated data quality. Ionizing radiation directly and indirectly causes DNA damage and increases production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). RONS lead to DNA damage and epigenetic changes leading to mutations and genomic instability (GI). Proliferation amplifies the effects of DNA damage and mutations leading to the AO of breast cancer. Separately, RONS and DNA damage also increase inflammation. Inflammation contributes to direct and indirect effects (effects in cells not directly reached by IR) via positive feedback to RONS and DNA damage, and separately increases proliferation and breast cancer through pro-carcinogenic effects on cells and tissue. For example, gene expression changes alter inflammatory mediators, resulting in improved survival and growth of cancer cells and a more hospitable tissue environment. All of these events overlap at multiple points with events characteristic of "background" induction of breast carcinogenesis, including hormone-responsive proliferation, oxidative activity, and DNA damage. These overlaps make the breast particularly susceptible to ionizing radiation and reinforce that these biological activities are important characteristics of carcinogens. Agents that increase these biological processes should be considered potential breast carcinogens, and predictive methods are needed to identify chemicals that increase these processes. Techniques are available to measure RONS, DNA damage and mutation, cell proliferation, and some inflammatory proteins or processes. Improved assays are needed to measure GI and chronic inflammation, as well as the interaction with hormonally driven development and proliferation. Several methods measure diverse epigenetic changes, but it is not clear which changes are relevant to breast cancer. In addition, most toxicological assays are not conducted in mammary tissue, and so it is a priority to evaluate if results from other tissues are generalizable to breast, or to conduct assays in breast tissue. Developing and applying these assays to identify exposures of concern will facilitate efforts to reduce subsequent breast cancer risk.

Abstract
Mammary ductal dysplasia is a phenotype observed in precancerous lesions and early-stage breast cancer. However, the mechanism of dysplasia formation remains elusive. Here we show, by establishing a novel dysplasia model system, that estrogen, a female hormone, has the potential to cause mammary ductal dysplasia. We injected estradiol (E2), the most active form of estrogen, daily into scid mice with a defect in non-homologous end joining repair and observed dysplasia formation with cell proliferation at day 30. The protooncogene Myc is a downstream target of estrogen signaling, and we found that its expression is augmented in mammary epithelial cells in this dysplasia model. Treatment with a Myc inhibitor reduced E2-induced dysplasia formation. Moreover, we found that isoflavones inhibited E2-induced dysplasia formation. Our dysplasia model system provides insights into the mechanistic understanding of breast tumorigenesis and the development of breast cancer prevention. Excess amount of estrogen administration in scid mice induces mammary ductal dysplasia E2-induced Myc expression is one of the causes of dysplasia formation Progesterone and isoflavones have a potential to prevent E2-induced dysplasia

Abstract
Tritium is an important radioactive waste which needs to be monitored for radiation protection. Due to long biological half-life of organically bound tritium (OBT), the adverse consequence caused by chronic exposure of tritiated water (HTO) attracts concern. In this study, fibroblast cells were exposed to 2 × 106 Bq/ml HTO to investigate the cellular behaviors. The dose relationship of survival fraction and γH2AX foci was a "U-shaped" curve. And the results of γH2AX intensity produced by ICCM, which was obtained from different doses, demonstrated bystander signal accounted for the protective effects induced by intermediate dose of 100 mGy. The comparison of temporal kinetics and spatial dynamics of DNA repair between tritium β-rays and γ-rays showed longer time was need for the dephosphorylation of H2AX protein after HTO exposure. It indicated complex cluster DSBs induced by tritium β-rays at the low dose impaired efficient recovery of DNA damage, which bear responsibility for the persistence of residual foci after low dose expsoure. It suggests after exposed to low dose radiation cells prefer to eliminate damage population to avoid DNA damage increasing the mutation potential.

Brooks AL, Hoel DG, Preston RJ. The role of dose rate in radiation cancer risk: evaluating the effect of dose rate at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels using key events in critical pathways following exposure to low LET radiation. Int J Radiat Biol 2016; 92:405-26. [PMID: 27266588 PMCID: PMC4975094 DOI: 10.1080/09553002.2016.1186301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2015] [Revised: 03/14/2016] [Accepted: 05/02/2016] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This review evaluates the role of dose rate on cell and molecular responses. It focuses on the influence of dose rate on key events in critical pathways in the development of cancer. This approach is similar to that used by the U.S. EPA and others to evaluate risk from chemicals. It provides a mechanistic method to account for the influence of the dose rate from low-LET radiation, especially in the low-dose region on cancer risk assessment. Molecular, cellular, and tissues changes are observed in many key events and change as a function of dose rate. The magnitude and direction of change can be used to help establish an appropriate dose rate effectiveness factor (DREF). CONCLUSIONS Extensive data on key events suggest that exposure to low dose-rates are less effective in producing changes than high dose rates. Most of these data at the molecular and cellular level support a large (2-30) DREF. In addition, some evidence suggests that doses delivered at a low dose rate decrease damage to levels below that observed in the controls. However, there are some data human and mechanistic data that support a dose-rate effectiveness factor of 1. In summary, a review of the available molecular, cellular and tissue data indicates that not only is dose rate an important variable in understanding radiation risk but it also supports the selection of a DREF greater than one as currently recommended by ICRP ( 2007 ) and BEIR VII (NRC/NAS 2006 ).

Abstract
Screening mammography offers the possibility of discovering malignant diseases at an early stage, which is consequently treated early, thereby reducing the mortality rate. However, ionizing radiation as used in low-dose X-ray mammography may be associated with a risk of radiation-induced carcinogenesis. In the context of the harmful effects of ionizing radiation, this article reviewed novel radiobiological data and provided a simulation of the relative incidence of radiation-induced breast cancer due to screening against a background baseline incidence in a population of 100,000 individuals. The use of modern digital mammographic technology was assumed, giving rise to a glandular dose of 2.5 mGy from a 2-view per breast image. Assuming no latency time, this led to a ratio of induced incidence rate over baseline incidence rate of about 1.6‰ for biennial screening in women aged 50-74 years, although it cannot be excluded that the dose and dose rate effectiveness factor values relying on new radiobiological insights may lower this number to about 0.7‰. This carcinogenic risk is considered small in relation to the potential beneficial effects of screening, especially as latency time was not taken into consideration. However, individuals who are known to be carriers of risk-increasing genetic variations and/or have an inherited disposition of breast cancer should avoid ionizing radiation as much as possible and should be referred to ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, a significant, but difficult to quantify, risk of cancer is present for individuals who suffer from hypersusceptibility to ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Aging involves a deterioration of cell functions and changes that may predispose the cell to undergo an oncogenic transformation. The carcinogenic risks following radiation exposure rise with age among adults. Increasing inflammatory response, loss of oxidant/antioxidant equilibrium, ongoing telomere attrition, decline in the DNA damage response efficiency, and deleterious nuclear organization are age-related cellular changes that trigger a serious threat to genomic integrity. In this review, we discuss the mechanistic interplay between all these factors, providing an integrated view of how they contribute to the observed age-related increase in radiation sensitivity. As life expectancy increases and so it does the medical intervention, it is important to highlight the benefits of radiation protection in the elderly. Thus, a deep understanding of the mechanistic processes confining the threat of aging-related radiosensitivity is currently of foremost relevance.

Abstract
A micro-Raman spectroscopy investigation has been performed in vitro on single human mammary epithelial cells after irradiation by graded x-ray doses. The analysis by principal component analysis (PCA) and interval-PCA (i-PCA) methods has allowed us to point out the small differences in the Raman spectra induced by irradiation. This experimental approach has enabled us to delineate radiation-induced changes in protein, nucleic acid, lipid, and carbohydrate content. In particular, the dose dependence of PCA and i-PCA components has been analyzed. Our results have confirmed that micro-Raman spectroscopy coupled to properly chosen data analysis methods is a very sensitive technique to detect early molecular changes at the single-cell level following exposure to ionizing radiation. This would help in developing innovative approaches to monitor radiation cancer radiotherapy outcome so as to reduce the overall radiation dose and minimize damage to the surrounding healthy cells, both aspects being of great importance in the field of radiation therapy.

Highly sensitive automated method for DNA damage assessment: gamma-H2AX foci counting and cell cycle sorting. Int J Mol Sci 2013; 14:15810-26. [PMID: 23903043 PMCID: PMC3759887 DOI: 10.3390/ijms140815810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2013] [Revised: 07/15/2013] [Accepted: 07/22/2013] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Phosphorylation of the H2AX protein is an early step in the double strand break (DSB) repair pathway; therefore, phosphorylated histone (γH2AX) foci scoring is widely used as a measure for DSBs. Foci scoring is performed either manually or semi-automatically using hand-operated capturing and image analysis software. In general, both techniques are laborious and prone to artifacts associated with manual scoring. While a few fully automated methods have been described in the literature, none of them have been used to quantify γH2AX foci in combination with a cell cycle phase analysis. Adding this feature to a rapid automated γH2AX foci quantification method would reduce the scoring uncertainty that arises from the variations in the background level of the γH2AX signal throughout the cell cycle. The method was set up to measure DNA damage induced in human mammary epithelial cells by irradiation under a mammogram device. We adapted a FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization) Spot-counting system, which has a slide loader with automatic scanning and cell capture system throughout the thickness of each cell (z-stack), to meet our assay requirements. While scanning the sample, the system classifies the selected nuclei according to the signal patterns previously described by the user. For our purposes, a double staining immunofluorescence was carried out with antibodies to detect γH2AX and pericentrin, an integral component of the centrosome. We could thus distinguish both the number of γH2AX foci per cell and the cell cycle phase. Furthermore, restrictive settings of the program classifier reduced the "touching nuclei" problem described in other image analysis software. The automated scoring was faster than and as sensitive as its manually performed counterpart. This system is a reliable tool for γH2AX radio-induced foci counting and provides essential information about the cell cycle stage. It thus offers a more complete and rapid assessment of DNA damage.
