DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are most dangerous lesions. To determine whether oxidative stress can induce DSBs and how they are repaired in cardiomyocytes (CMs), cultured neonatal rat CMs were treated with different doses of H2O2 and followed for up to 72 hours for monitoring the spatiotemporal dynamics of DNA repair protein assembly/disassembly at DSB foci. The protein levels and foci numbers of histone H2AX phosphorylated at serine 139 (γ-H2AX) increased proportionally to 50, 100 and 200 µmol/L H2O2 after 30 min treatment. When H2O2 was at or above 400 µmol/L, γ-H2AX became predominantly pan-nuclear. After 30 min, 200 µmol/L of H2O2 treatment, γ-H2AX levels were highest within the first hour and then gradually declined during the recovery and returned to basal levels at 48 hours. Among DNA damage transducer kinases, ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) was significantly activated by H2O2 in contrast to mild activation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related (ATR). DSB binding protein, p53 binding protein 1 formed distinct nuclear foci that colocalized with γ-H2AX foci and phosphorylated ATM. Our findings indicate that DNA double strand breaks can be induced by H2O2 and ATM is the main kinase to mediate DSB repair in cardiomyocytes. Therefore, monitoring DSB repair can assess oxidative injury and response in cardiomyocytes.
