BRCA1- and BRCA2-Deficient Cells Are Sensitive to Etoposide-Induced DNA Double-Strand Breaks via Topoisomerase II
2007
Cancer Research
The function of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in DNA repair could affect the sensitivity of cells to cytotoxic agents, and would therefore be an important component of planning therapy for breast and ovarian cancers. Previously, both BRCA1-and BRCA2deficient tumors were shown to be sensitive to mitomycin C, and the mechanism was presumed to be a defect in the repair of interstrand crosslinks by homologous recombination. Here, we show that both BRCA1 and BRCA2 determine the sensitivity to the cytotoxic drug,
