Abstract
The currently available arsenal of anticancer modalities includes many DNA damaging agents that can kill malignant cells. However, efficient DNA repair mechanisms protect both healthy and cancer cells against the effects of treatment and contribute to the development of drug resistance. Therefore, anti-cancer treatments based on inflicting DNA damage can benefit from inhibition of DNA repair. Hyperthermia – treatment at elevated temperature – considerably affects DNA repair, among other cellular processes, and can thus sensitize (cancer) cells to DNA damaging agents. This effect has been known and clinically applied for many decades, but how heat inhibits DNA repair and which pathways are targeted has not been fully elucidated. In this review we attempt to summarize the known effects of hyperthermia on DNA repair pathways relevant in clinical treatment of cancer. Furthermore, we outline the relationships between the effects of heat on DNA repair and sensitization of cells to various DNA damaging agents.

Abstract
H2AX is a histone variant which is present and ubiquitously distributed throughout the genome. An immunocytochemical assay using antibodies capable of recognizing histone H2AX phosphorylated at serine 139 (gammaH2AX) is very sensitive and is a specific indicator for the existence of a DNA double strand break. Although heat stress has been reported to induce the formation of gammaH2AX foci, no gammaH2AX foci formation was observed in several mammalian cell lines after heat shock. Since this was in contrast to earlier reports, the work described here was intended to verify that heat-induced gammaH2AX foci do form in mammalian cell lines other than the cell lines used in earlier reports concerning gammaH2AX foci formation. The cell lines used in this work includes cell lines with differing p53-gene status (H1299, H1299/neo, H1299/mp53 and H1299/wtp53 cells), various cancer cell lines (HeLa, HepG2, U2-OS cells), normal human cells (HEK-293 and AG1522), and cell lines established from other species (MEF normal mouse cells and CHL normal Chinese hamster cells). Exponentially growing cells were exposed to heat shock (42 degrees C for 6 h or 45.5 degrees C for 20 min) or to X-rays (3Gy). The presence of gammaH2AX was examined with immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. Induction of gammaH2AX foci formation was observed in all of the mammalian cell lines used here after heat-treatment as well as after X-irradiation. However, the intensity of gammaH2AX was different in the different cell lines used. These results confirm that heat can induce gammaH2AX foci formation in many mammalian cell lines.
