DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Drugs that generate DNA crosslinks are among the most effective cancer chemotherapeutic agents. These drugs fall in several classes of bi-functional molecules that generate DNA mono-adducts, intrastrand and interstrand crosslinks and are the standard of care for many malignancies. Interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) block many DNA transactions and are thought to be the cytotoxic lesions responsible for most crosslinking drug efficacy. Their efficacy however, varies among cell types or patients. There are two major challenges associated with these compounds: 1) dose-limiting toxicity, primarily in the blood, and 2) acquired resistance. The goal of this proposal is to characterize the mechanisms of ICL repair to better understand and ultimately improve the mode of action of crosslinking agent-based chemotherapy. ICLs are repaired during and outside of S-phase. Replication-independent ICL repair (RIR) is robust and critical for survival in treated mammalian cells. The proposed studies specifically address the mechanism of ICL repair in the absence of other DNA lesions and therefore focus on the most clinically relevant repair reaction triggered by crosslinking drugs. Specifically, we propose to identify the nucleases (Aim 1) and DNA polymerases (Aim 2) involved in RIR. Finally, we propose to evaluate the impact of replication-dependent and -independent ICL repair on crosslinking drugs efficacy. We hypothesize that targeting these factors could increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to crosslinking agents and reduce the incidence of resistance. Our approach will combine biochemistry in cell-free extracts with innovative ICL repair assays in normal and tumor cells. We anticipate that a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of ICL repair will shed light on the contribution of ICL lesions to crosslinking drug toxicity and on the impact of DNA repair on resistance to crosslinking therapy.

描述（由申请人提供）：产生DNA交联的药物是最有效的癌症化疗剂之一。这些药物属于几类双功能分子，可产生DNA单加合物、链内和链间交联，是许多恶性肿瘤的标准治疗药物。链间交联（ICL）阻止许多DNA的交易，被认为是负责大多数交联药物疗效的细胞毒性病变。然而，它们的功效因细胞类型或患者而异。存在与这些化合物相关的两个主要挑战：1）主要在血液中的剂量限制性毒性，和2）获得性抗性。该提案的目标是表征ICL修复的机制，以更好地理解并最终改善基于交联剂的化疗的作用模式。ICL在S相期间和S相之外进行修复。复制非依赖性ICL修复（RIR）对于经处理的哺乳动物细胞中的存活是稳健的和关键的。拟定的研究专门解决了在没有其他DNA损伤的情况下ICL修复的机制，因此重点关注交联药物引发的最具临床相关性的修复反应。具体来说，我们建议确定核酸酶（目标1）和DNA聚合酶（目标2）参与RIR。最后，我们建议评估复制依赖性和非依赖性ICL修复对交联药物功效的影响。我们假设靶向这些因素可以增加肿瘤细胞对交联剂的敏感性，并降低耐药的发生率。我们的方法将联合收割机的生物化学与创新的ICL修复正常和肿瘤细胞的检测无细胞提取物。我们预计，更好地了解ICL修复的分子机制，将有助于ICL病变的交联药物毒性的贡献和对耐交联治疗的DNA修复的影响。
