  • Title: Pre-UV-treatment of cells results in enhanced host cell reactivation of a UV damaged reporter gene in CHO-AA8 chinese hamster ovary cells but not in transcription-coupled repair deficient CHO-UV61 cells.

    Journal: Biosci Rep; 2004 Dec; 24(6):559-76. PubMed ID: 16158195.
    Abstract:
    We have used a non-replicating recombinant adenovirus, Ad5MCMVlacZ, which expresses the beta-galactosidase reporter gene, to examine both constitutive and inducible repair of UV-damaged DNA in repair proficient CHO-AA8 Chinese hamster ovary cells and in mutant CHO-UV61 cells which are deficient in the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) pathway of nucleotide excision repair. Host cell reactivation (HCR) of beta-galactosidase activity for UV-irradiated Ad5MCMVlacZ was significantly reduced in non-irradiated CHO-UV61 cells compared to that in non-irradiated CHO-AA8 cells suggesting that repair in the transcribed strand of the UV-damaged reporter gene in untreated cells utilizes TCR. Prior UV-irradiation of cells with low UV fluences resulted in a transient enhancement of HCR for expression of the UV-damaged reporter gene in CHO-AA8 cells but not in TCR deficient CHO-UV61 cells. These results suggest the presence of an inducible DNA pathway in CHO cells that results from an enhancement of TCR or a mechanism that involves the TCR pathway.
