The DNA-PK complex formation is one of the major pathways by which the mammalian cells respond to DSBs repairing. Our previous study suggested that CNE1 is more radioresistant than CNE2. This study was designed to answer whether the radiosensitive difference of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma cell lines CNE1/CNE2 was related to the expression and localization of Ku70/Ku80/DNA-PKcs. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the subcellular localization of Ku70/Ku80/DNA-PKcs in NPC cells lines CNE1 and CNE2. Western-blot was used to determine the expression of Ku protein in total extract of CNE1 and CNE2 and semi-quantitative assay of protein expression was performed to estimate the optic density (OD) value of each band using automatic image analysis system. Results: Ku70/Ku80/DNA-PKcs primarily located in the nuclei. A part of nucleolus in CNE1 and CNE2 showed positive dyeing of DNA-PKcs. Protein expression of Ku70/Ku80/DNA-PKcs was detected in CNE1 and CNE2, and the integral optical density (IOD) of Ku70 protein was 22.03 ± 7.56 and 19.98 ± 6.04 respectively (t=0.021, P〉0.05), while the IODs of Ku80 protein in the two cell lines were 33.44 ± 12.87 and 28.98 ± 9.24 respectively (t=0.24, P〉0.05), and the IODs of DNA-PKcs protein were 45.03 ± 1.77 and 40.87 ± 4.19 (t=1.58, P〉0.05). The above results suggested that the basic expression of Ku70/Ku80/DNA-PKcs had no statistic difference between the different radiosensitive NPC cell lines CNE1 and CNE2. Conclusion: The variation of radiosensitivity in NPC cell lines CNE1 and CNE2 has no obviously correlation with the subcellular localization and basic expression of DNA-PK protein. So we presumed that the difference of radiosensitivity between CNE1 and CNE2 may be on account of some other factors than subcellular localization and basic expression of DNA-PK.展开更多

Herein we report the identification of Ku70 and Ku80 as novel Par3-interacting proteins through an in vitro binding assay followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Ku70/Ku80 proteins are two key regulatory subunits of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), which plays an essential role in repairing double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs). We determined that the nuclear association of Par3 with Ku70/Ku80 was enhanced by γ-irradiation (IR), a potent DSB inducer. Furthermore, DNA-PKcs, the catalytic subunit of DNA-PK, interacted with the Par3/Ku70/Ku80 complex in response to IR. Par3 over-expression or knockdown was capable of up- or downregulating DNA-PK activity, respectively. Moreover, the Par3 knockdown cells were found to be defective in random plasmid integration, defective in DSB repair following IR, and radiosensitive, phenotypes similar to that of Ku70 knockdown cells. These findings identify Par3 as a novel component of the DNA-PK complex and implicate an unexpected link of cell polarity to DSB repair.展开更多
