Multifunctional Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) is actively studied as one of the components of cellular response to genotoxic stress. However, the precise role of YB-1 in the process of DNA repair is still obscure. In the present work we report for the first time new posttranslational modification of YB-1 - poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, catalyzed by one of the main regulatory enzymes of DNA repair - poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1 (PARP1) in the presence of model DNA substrate carrying multiple DNA lesions. Therefore, poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of YB-1 catalyzed with PARP1, can be stimulated by damaged DNA. The observed property of YB-1 underlines its ability to participate in the DNA repair by its involvement in the regulatory cascades of DNA repair.

Genome editing, in particular the CRISPR/Cas9 system, is widely used to generate new animal models. However, the generation of mutations, such as conditional knock-out or knock-in, can remain complex and inefficient, in particular because of the difficulty to deliver the donor DNA (single or double stranded) into the nucleus of fertilized oocytes. The use of recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAV) as donor DNA is a rapidly developing approach that promises to improve the efficiency of creation of animal models.

Purpose: More active high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) regimens are needed for autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) for refractory lymphomas. Seeking HDC enhancement with a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, we observed marked synergy between olaparib and vorinostat/gemcitabine/busulfan/melphalan (GemBuMel) against lymphoma cell lines, mediated by inhibition of DNA damage repair. Our preclinical work led us to clinically study olaparib/vorinostat/GemBuMel with ASCT.

Targeting the WDR5-MLL1 protein-protein interaction (PPI) is considered to be an effective approach for the treatment of MLL-rearranged leukemia. However, interfering with WDR5-MLL1 PPI reduces methylated H3K4 levels and induces a decline in acetylated H3 levels, which may contribute to the suboptimal cellular efficacy of WDR5 inhibitors. We observed that cotreatment with WDR5-MLL1 PPI and HDAC inhibitors augmented the antiproliferative effect in MV-4-11 cells.

We investigated if selected polymorphisms in DNA repair genes modify the association between exposure to particulate matter ≤ 10 micron in diameter (PM) and breast cancer (BCa) risk. We included 150,929 postmenopausal women (5,969 with BCa) from UK Biobank, a population-based prospective cohort. Cancer diagnoses were ascertained through the linkage to the UK National Health Service Central Registers.

CNVs are readily identified using conventional approaches when present in a large fraction of the cell population. However, CNVs that are present in only a few genomes across a population are often overlooked but important; if beneficial under specific conditions, a de novo CNV that arises in a single genome can expand during selection to create a larger population of cells with novel characteristics.
