Abstract

Mutations in the ATM kinase cause the neurodegenerative disorder ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) and affected individuals are exquisitely radiation-sensitive and cancer-prone. Cells derived from A-T individuals contain chromosome aberrations and exhibit profound cellular radiosensitivity. ATM is an apical kinase critical for the activation of cell cycle checkpoints and the induction of apoptosis in irradiated cells. However, defects in these pathways are insufficient to account for the chromosomal instability seen in A-T cells. We show here that the small molecule KU55933 can be used as a "molecular switch" to selectively and transiently inhibit ATM kinase activity in cells. We subsequently show that the cellular radiosensitization seen when ATM kinase activity is inhibited for one hour following exposure to gamma-rays, accounts for over 70% of the total cellular radiosensitization seen when ATM kinase activity is inhibited for 17 h. Finally, we show that inhibition of ATM kinase activity for one hour following exposure to irradiation doubles the number of chromosome aberrations occurring in late-S- and G(2)-, but not M-phase, cells. These observations are unexpected and suggest that irreversible chromosome damage accumulates very rapidly when ATM kinase activity is transiently inhibited following irradiation. We propose that we have revealed an essential, yet previously undescribed, role for ATM kinase in suppressing chromosomal instability.

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.
