Background Information The ERCC5 gene corrects the excision repair deficiency of Chinese hamster ovary cell line UV135 of complementation group 5. The human ERCC5 gene product is a structure-specific endonuclease required for making the 3-prime incision during DNA nucleotide excision-repair (NER). It also plays an important role in regulating DNA excision repair, removal of bulky lesions caused by environmental chemicals or UV light [PMID:22815677]. The calculated molecular weight of ERCC5 is 133 kDa, but the modified ERCC5 protein is about 200 kDa. Storage: Storage Store at -20°C.

All of the participants had a smoking index greater than 400 (cigarettes/day*year.) We obtained data on clinical and baseline characteristics, and peripheral blood was obtained and subjected to DNA extraction to analyse the correlation between smoking and the occurrence of laryngeal carcinoma. We selected candidate genes and SNP fragments that were found to be closely associated with smoking-related tumours in preliminary studies.

MECHANISMS in ENDOCRINOLOGY: Novel Genetic Causes of Short Stature
J M Wit and others Genetics of short stature 174:4 R145–R173 Review MECHANISMS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY Novel genetic causes of short stature 1 1 2 2 Jan M Wit , Wilma Oostdijk , Monique Losekoot , Hermine A van Duyvenvoorde , Correspondence Claudia A L Ruivenkamp2 and Sarina G Kant2 should be addressed to J M Wit Departments of 1Paediatrics and 2Clinical Genetics, Leiden University Medical Center, PO Box 9600, 2300 RC Leiden, Email The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract The fast technological development, particularly single nucleotide polymorphism array, array-comparative genomic hybridization, and whole exome sequencing, has led to the discovery of many novel genetic causes of growth failure. In this review we discuss a selection of these, according to a diagnostic classification centred on the epiphyseal growth plate. We successively discuss disorders in hormone signalling, paracrine factors, matrix molecules, intracellular pathways, and fundamental cellular processes, followed by chromosomal aberrations including copy number variants (CNVs) and imprinting disorders associated with short stature. Many novel causes of GH deficiency (GHD) as part of combined pituitary hormone deficiency have been uncovered. The most frequent genetic causes of isolated GHD are GH1 and GHRHR defects, but several novel causes have recently been found, such as GHSR, RNPC3, and IFT172 mutations. Besides well-defined causes of GH insensitivity (GHR, STAT5B, IGFALS, IGF1 defects), disorders of NFkB signalling, STAT3 and IGF2 have recently been discovered. Heterozygous IGF1R defects are a relatively frequent cause of prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. TRHA mutations cause a syndromic form of short stature with elevated T3/T4 ratio. Disorders of signalling of various paracrine factors (FGFs, BMPs, WNTs, PTHrP/IHH, and CNP/NPR2) or genetic defects affecting cartilage extracellular matrix usually cause disproportionate short stature.

Due to DNA repair gene polymorphisms, there are differences in the repair capacity between several cancer types. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between some of the DNA repair gene polymorphisms and clinical outcome in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods: The association between clinical factors including stage at diagnosis, extra-nodal involvement, tumor bur- den, bone marrow involvement, relapse status, disease-free/overall survival times and DNA repair gene polymorphisms including ERCC2 (Lys751Gln), XPC (Gln939Lys), ERCC5 (Asp1104His) and XRCC3 (Thr241Met) in 58 patients with DLBCL. T-Shift Real-Time PCR was used to detect these mutations. Results: The median survival times were 60 months and 109 months in patients with CC genotype and CA/AA geno- type of XPC gene polymorphism, respectively (p=0.017). More interestingly, median survival times were 9 months and 109 months in patients with CC (XPC)/CC (XRCC3) and CA/AA (XPC)/CT/TT (XRCC3) for both XPC and XRCC3 gene polymorphisms, respectively (p=0.004).

Nucleotide Excision Repair Gene Expression After Cisplatin Treatment in Melanoma
Published OnlineFirst August 31, 2010; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-10-0161 Molecular and Cellular Pathobiology Cancer Research Nucleotide Excision Repair Gene Expression after Cisplatin Treatment in Melanoma Nikola A. Bowden1,2,3, Katie A. Ashton1,2,3, Kelly A. Avery-Kiejda4, Xu Dong Zhang4, Peter Hersey4, and Rodney J. Scott1,2,3,5 Abstract Two of the hallmark features of melanoma are its development as a result of chronic UV radiation exposure and the limited efficacy of cisplatin in the disease treatment. Both of these DNA-damaging agents result in large helix-distorting DNA damage that is recognized and repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER). The aim of this study was to examine the expression of NER gene transcripts, p53, and p21 in melanoma cell lines treated with cisplatin compared with melanocytes. Basal expression of all genes was greater in the melanoma cell lines compared with melanocytes. Global genome repair (GGR) transcripts showed significantly decreased relative expression (RE) in melanoma cell lines 24 hours after cisplatin treatment. The basal RE of p53 was significantly higher in the melanoma cell lines compared with the melanocytes. However, induction of p53 was only significant in the melanocytes at 6 and 24 hours after cisplatin treatment. Inhibition of p53 expression significantly decreased the expression of all the GGR transcripts in melanocytes at 6 and 24 hours after cis- platin treatment. Although the RE levels were lower with p53 inhibition, the induction of the GGR genes was very similar to that in the control melanocytes and increased significantly across the time points. The findings from this study revealed reduced GGR transcript levels in melanoma cells 24 hours after cisplatin treatment.

Recently, GEMA (gene expression and mutation analysis) approach detected insufcient expression of BRCA or NHEJ (non-homol- ogous end joining) to predict PARP inhibitors response. We evaluated a possible role of DNA repair pathways using gene expression of single-strand break (XPA, XPC, XPG/ERCC5, CSA/ERCC8, and CSB/ERCC6) and double-strand break (ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51, XRCC5, XRCC6, LIG4) in 92 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (73 de novo, 9 therapy- related (t-MDS). Therapy-related MDS (t-MDS) demonstrated a signifcant downregulation of axis BRCA1-BRCA2-RAD51 comparing to normal controls (p = 0.048, p = 0.001, p = 0.001). XRCC6 showed signifcantly low expression in de novo MDS comparing to controls (p = 0.039) and for patients who presented chromosomal abnormalities (p = 0.047). Downregula- tion of LIG4 was consistently associated with poor prognostic markers in de novo MDS (hemoglobin < 8 g/dL (p = 0.040), neutrophils < 800/mm3 (p < 0.001), patients with excess of blasts (p = 0.001), very high (p = 0.002)/high IPSS-R (p = 0.043) and AML transformation (p < 0.001).
