Ionizing radiation, but not stimulation with epidermal growth factor (EGF), triggers EGF receptor ( EGFR) import into the nucleus in a probably karyopherin alpha-linked manner. An increase in nuclear EGFR is also observed after treatment with H2O2, heat, or cisplatin. During this process, the proteins Ku70/80 and the protein phosphatase 1 are transported into the nucleus. As a consequence, an increase in the nuclear kinase activity of DNA-dependent kinase (DNA-PK) and increased formation of the DNA end-binding protein complexes containing DNA-PK, essential for repair of DNA-strand breaks, occurred. Blockade of EGFR import by the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody C225 abolished EGFR import into the nucleus and radiation-induced activation of DNA-PK, inhibited DNA repair, and increased radiosensitivity of treated cells. Our data implicate a novel function of the EGFR during DNA repair processes.
