    Abstract:
    Acidic nucleoplasmic DNA binding protein 1 (AND-1, also known as WD repeat and HMG-box DNA-binding protein 1, WDHD1) plays an important role in DNA replication and repair, but the relationship between AND-1 and radiosensitivity is not well understood. This research explored the impact of AND-1 on the radiosensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for the first time. NSCLC cells were treated with AND-1 siRNA or a new AND-1 inhibitor, CH-3, and clonogenic survival assay was used to characterize cell radiosensitivity. Cell cycle and apoptosis were examined by flow cytometry. DNA damage was detected by comet assay, immunofluorescence, and homologous recombination (HR) repair assay. Finally, the radiosensitization effect of CH-3 was investigated in vivo in a xenograft tumor model. The results showed that AND-1 inhibition significantly increased the radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, AND-1 inhibitor (CH-3) induced G2/M phase arrest by regulating the ATM signaling pathway and enhanced irradiation-induced DNA damage by inhibiting the DNA HR repair pathway. CH-3 enhanced the radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells in vivo. The development of radiosensitizers that target AND-1 may provide an alternative strategy to inhibit NSCLC.
