In response to DMA damage, cells induce the expression of gene programs that facilitate the repair of the damaged DMA, ensure cell cycle arrest until the damage is repaired, and can, depending on the extent of damage, lead to cell death via apoptosis. The transcriptional induction of the program is vital for promoting the survival of cells with integral genomes, while eliminating cells with defects that can lead to genomic instability and cancer. The DMA damage response pathway is linked to the metabolic state of organisms, via not yet well understood pathways. Our long term goal is to understand the regulatory networks that integrate information from the metabolic state of an organism to specific transcriptional responses in the nucleus. As a step towards this goal, we will study the role of the nuclear receptor coactivator PGC-1a, which senses changes in the metabolic state of organisms, in the gene expression programs of the cellular response to DMA damage. The proposed work will test the hypothesis that PGC-1a regulates the response to DNA damage, and address the mechanism that enables PGC-1a to act in this pathway. To test the hypothesis, we will i) compare the DNA damage response in cells that express and do not express PGC-1a, and ii) define the role of Tip60 and nuclear receptors in mediating the function of PGC-1a. Our studies will provide insights into the mechanisms that link metabolism and efficiency of DNA damage responses, and into yet uncharacterized functions of PGC-1a and Tip60. Elucidation of such mechanisms is important for devising strategies that counteract the harmful effects of metabolic disease on DNA repair and cell survival. Relevance to public health. The mechanisms that communicate information from the metabolic state of an organism (e.g. body mass index, blood glucose levels, diet, physical exercise, metabolic disease, hormonal profile) to the cellular machinery that coordinates the repair of damage to DNA and the survival of healthy cells with intact genomes are not known. Defects in such repair can lead to the uncontrollable proliferation of cells with unstable genomes and predisposion to cancer, or aberrant cell death and degenerative diseases. Understanding the ways by which the metabolic state communicates to the cellular DNA damage response pathway is important for devising strategies that counteract the damage imposed by metabolic disease.

在对DMA损伤的反应中，细胞诱导基因程序的表达，促进受损DMA的修复，确保细胞周期停滞直到损伤被修复，并且根据损伤的程度，可以通过凋亡导致细胞死亡。该程序的转录诱导对于促进具有完整基因组的细胞的存活至关重要，同时消除可能导致基因组不稳定和癌症的缺陷细胞。DMA损伤反应途径与生物体的代谢状态有关，途径尚不清楚。我们的长期目标是了解整合从生物体代谢状态到细胞核特定转录反应的信息的调控网络。作为一个
