Double-stranded breaks (DSBs) are the most injurious type of DNA damage, being induced by ionizing radiation (IR) and cytotoxic agents used in cancer treatment. The failure to repair DSBs can result in aberrant chromosomal abnormalities which lead to cancer development. An intricate network of DNA damage signaling pathways is usually activated to eliminate these damages and to restore genomic stability. These signaling pathways include the activation of cell cycle checkpoints, DNA repair mechanisms, and apoptosis induction, also known as DNA damage response (DDR)-mechanisms. Remarkably, the homologous recombination (HR) is the major DSBs repairing pathway, in which RAD52 gene has a crucial repairing role by promoting the annealing of complementary single-stranded DNA and by stimulating RAD51 recombinase activity. Evidence suggests that variations in RAD52 expression can influence HR activity and, subsequently, influence the predisposition and treatment efficacy of cancer. In this review, we present several reports in which the down or upregulation of RAD52 seems to be associated with different carcinogenic processes. In addition, we discuss RAD52 inhibition in DDR-defective cancers as a possible target to improve cancer therapy efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers11111622","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,25]],"date-time":"2019-10-25T03:20:36Z","timestamp":1571973636000},"page":"1622","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["RAD52 Functions in Homologous Recombination and Its Importance on Genomic Integrity Maintenance and Cancer Therapy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Augusto","family":"Nogueira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Molecular Oncology and Viral Pathology Group, IPO-Porto Research Center (CI-IPOP), Portuguese Institute of Oncology of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine of University of Porto (FMUP), 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9023-1109","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mara","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Molecular Oncology and Viral Pathology Group, IPO-Porto Research Center (CI-IPOP), Portuguese Institute of Oncology of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine of University of Porto (FMUP), 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Raquel","family":"Catarino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Molecular Oncology and Viral Pathology Group, IPO-Porto Research Center (CI-IPOP), Portuguese Institute of Oncology of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3010-8373","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Medeiros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Molecular Oncology and Viral Pathology Group, IPO-Porto Research Center (CI-IPOP), Portuguese Institute of Oncology of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine of University of Porto (FMUP), 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Biomedical Research Center (CEBIMED), Faculty of Health Sciences of Fernando Pessoa University, 4249-004 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Department, Portuguese League against Cancer (NRNorte), 4200-172 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-med-081313-121208","article-title":"The DNA Damage Response: Implications for Tumor Responses to Radiation and Chemotherapy","volume":"66","author":"Goldstein","year":"2015","journal-title":"Annu.
