| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is important for developing new radiosensitizers for companion animal cancers. Radiation- induced DSBs are mainly repaired by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) mechanisms in mammalian cancer cells. Therefore, it is important to clarify the molecular mechanisms of underlying NHEJ in order to get valuable information for the development of potential molecular targets for new radiosensitizers in the treatment of canine cancers. On the other hand, cDNAs of core NHEJ factors of canine species have not been cloned. Furthermore, the sequence, localization and control mechanisms of core NHEJ factors of canine species have not been published.
In this study, we performed fundamental study for the development of new radiosensitizers based on the molecular mechanism of Ku-dependent NHEJ of canine species.
