Chemotherapy induced DNA damage response: Convergence of drugs and pathways

Open access
Woods, Derek, Turchi, John J.·2013·Cancer Biology & Therapy

Abstract

Chemotherapeutics target rapidly dividing cancer cells by directly or indirectly inducing DNA damage. Upon recognizing DNA damage, cells initiate a variety of signaling pathways collectively referred to as the DNA damage response (DDR). Interestingly, the pathways used to elicit this response are as varied as the types of DNA damage induced. However, the activation of these various pathways has similar results including DNA repair, suppression of global general translation, cell cycle arrest and, ultimately, either cell survival or cell death. This review will focus on a series of chemotherapy-induced DNA lesions and highlight recent advances in our understanding of the DDR, the DNA repair pathways it activates and the cellular consequences of these converging pathways.

  • Traditional chemotherapeutics directly or indirectly induce DNA damage, thereby initiating DNA damage response (DDR) to repair lesions.

    “As traditional chemotherapeutics directly or indirectly induce DNA damage, thereby initiating DNA damage response (DDR) to repair lesions (90), it has been postulated that these repair mechanisms could increase conversion of rAAV genome into dsDNA (91), or divert DDR proteins that would otherwise impede dsDNA production (92).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
