We examined the formation of \u03b3H2AX and 53BP1 that coincide at sites of double-strand breaks (DSBs) after ionizing radiation. We compared UV irradiation and treatment with etoposide, an agent that causes DSBs during DNA replication. We found that during DNA replication, UV irradiation induced at least three classes of \u03b3H2AX response: a minority of \u03b3H2AX foci colocalizing with 53BP1 foci that represent DSBs at replication sites, a majority of \u03b3H2AX foci that did not colocalize with 53BP1 foci, and cells with high levels of pan-nuclear \u03b3H2AX without foci of either \u03b3H2AX or 53BP1. Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase and JNK mediated the UV-induced pan-nuclear \u03b3H2Ax, which preceded and paralleled UV-induced S phase apoptosis. These high levels of pan-nuclear \u03b3H2AX were further increased by loss of the bypass polymerase Pol \u03b7 and inhibition of ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-related, but the levels required the presence of the damage-binding proteins of excision repair xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A and C proteins. DSBs, therefore, represent a small variable fraction of UV-induced \u03b3H2AX foci dependent on repair capacity, and they are not detected within high levels of pan-nuclear \u03b3H2AX, a preapoptotic signal associated with ATM- and JNK-dependent apoptosis during replication. The formation of \u03b3H2AX foci after treatment with DNA-damaging agents cannot, therefore, be used as a direct measure of DSBs without independent corroborating evidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1002175107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,30]],"date-time":"2010-03-30T03:49:26Z","timestamp":1269920966000},"page":"6870-6875","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1073\/pnas.cm10313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":184,"title":["A minority of foci or pan-nuclear apoptotic staining of \u03b3H2AX in the S phase after UV damage contain DNA double-strand breaks"],"prefix":"10.1073","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Sebastien","family":"de Feraudy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94115"}]},{"given":"Ingrid","family":"Revet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94115"}]},{"given":"Vladimir","family":"Bezrookove","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94115"}]},{"given":"Luzviminda","family":"Feeney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94115"}]},{"given":"James E.","family":"Cleaver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94115"}]}],"member":"341","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature05268"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.biochem.73.011303.073723"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1108297"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrc1011"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1065521"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1083430"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dnarep.2004.03.020"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.C100569200"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.C100466200"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature03442"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4161\/cc.6.4.3886"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/gad.914401"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molcel.2007.12.005"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature01446"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.130182897"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ncb884"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1534-5807(03)00093-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dnarep.2004.03.024"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molcel.2006.05.023"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0603779103"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4161\/cc.3.12.1272"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.231611798"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.onc.1208515"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/21447"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.285.5425.263"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.C300117200"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.151.7.1381"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_28_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0005859"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_29_2","first-page":"613","article-title":"Loss of histone H2AX increases sensitivity of immortalized mouse fibroblasts to the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide","volume":"33","author":"Don\u00e0 F","year":"2008","unstructured":"F Don\u00e0, et al., Loss of histone H2AX increases sensitivity of immortalized mouse fibroblasts to the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide.
