We report here an investigation of the role of PARP in the cellular responses to inhibitors of topoisomerase I and II using NU1025. The cytotoxicity of the topoisomerase I inhibitor, camptothecin, was increased 2.6-fold in L1210 cells by co-incubation with NU1025. Camptothecin-induced DNA strand breaks were also increased 2.5-fold by NU1025 and exposure to camptothecin-activated PARP. In contrast, NU1025 did not increase the DNA strand breakage or cytotoxicity caused by the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide. Exposure to etoposide did not activate PARP even at concentrations that caused significant levels of apoptosis. Taken together, these data suggest that potentiation of camptothecin cytotoxicity by NU1025 is a direct result of increased DNA strand breakage, and that activation of PARP by camptothecin-induced DNA damage contributes to its repair and consequently cell survival. However, in L1210 cells at least, it would appear that PARP is not involved in the cellular response to etoposide-mediated DNA damage.

  • Protein Kinase CK2 in DNA Damage and Repair
    Review Article Protein kinase CK2 in DNA damage and repair Mathias Montenarh Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Saarland University, Homburg, Germany Correspondence to: Mathias Montenarh. Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Saarland University, Building 44, D-66424 Homburg, Germany. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Protein kinase CK2, formerly known as casein kinase 2, is a ubiquitously expressed serine/ threonine kinase, which is absolutely required for cell viability of eukaryotic cells. The kinase occurs predominantly as a tetrameric holoenzyme composed of two regulatory α or α' subunits and two non- catalytic β subunits. It is highly expressed and highly active in many tumour cells. The proliferation promoting as well as the anti-apoptotic functions have made CK2 an interesting target for cancer therapy. It phosphorylates numerous substrates in eukaryotic cells thereby regulating a variety of different cellular processes or signalling pathways. Here, I describe the role of CK2 in DNA damage recognition followed by cell cycle regulation and DNA repair. It turns out that CK2 phosphorylates a number of different proteins thereby regulating their enzymatic activity or platform proteins which are required for recruiting proteins for DNA repair. In addition, the individual subunits bind to various proteins, which may help to target the kinase to places of DNA damage and repair. Recently developed pharmacological inhibitors of the kinase activity are potent regulators of the CK2 activity in DNA repair processes. Since DNA damaging agents are used in cancer therapy the knowledge of CK2 functions in DNA repair as well as the use of specific inhibitors of CK2 may improve cancer treatment in the future.
