A synergistic increase in cell killing is observed when a heat‐shock is administered prior to, during, or immediately after exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). This phenomenon, known as heat‐radiosensitization, is believed to be mediated by inhibition of repair of radiation‐induced double strand breaks (DSB) when cells are exposed to temperatures above 42°C. However, the mechanism by which heat inhibits DSB repair is unclear. The bulk of radiation‐induced DSBs are repaired via the non‐homologous end‐joining pathway (NHEJ). Several reports indicate that the Ku70 and Ku80 subunits of the mammalian DNA‐dependent protein kinase (DNA‐PK), a complex involved in NHEJ, appear to be susceptible to a heat‐induced loss of DNA‐binding activity, with Ku80 representing the heat‐sensitive component. Since the heat‐induced loss and subsequent recovery of Ku–DNA binding activity correlates well with heat‐radiosensitization, a role for Ku80 and NHEJ in heat‐radiosensitization has been proposed. However, direct evidence implicating Ku80 (and NHEJ) in heat‐radiosensitization has been indeterminate. In this study, we demonstrate that equitoxic heat treatments at 42.5–45.5°C induce a similar amount of aggregation of Ku80 in human U‐1 melanoma cells. These data suggest that the time–temperature‐dependent relationship between heat lethality and Ku80 aggregation are similar. However, the aggregation/disaggregation of Ku80 and its transient or permanent inactivation is unrelated to heat‐radiosensitization. When survival curves were obtained for irradiated or irradiated and heated Ku80−/− mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) and compared with survival curves obtained for wild‐type (WT) cells, we found that heat‐radiosensitization was not reduced in the Ku80−/− cells, but actually increased. Thus, our findings indicate that Ku80 is not essential for heat‐radiosensitization. Non‐involvement of Ku‐dependent or Ku‐independent NHEJ pathways in heat‐radiosensitization was confirmed by comparing clonogenic survival between DNA ligase IV‐defective and WT human cells. Our data therefore implicate homologous recombination in inhibition of repair of radiation‐induced DSBs and as a target for heat‐radiosensitization. J. Cell.
