Mechanisms of
DNA damage-Induced Cell Death
Radiobiology 2012
Radiation-Induced
Cellular Damage
• Direct DNA damage – easy to recognize that
one target must be repaired
• Membrane damage – Signaling through
ceramide/Growth Factor receptors?
• Postmitotic (secondary) DNA damage - due to
loss or alteration in genetic material
• Bystander Damage – through soluble factors?
Characterization of Cellular death
(in vitro)
• Biochemical death – trypan blue positive
– Cells unable to exclude dye (loss of membrane
potential or membrane)
• Reproductive death – colony formation
– cells unable to form a colony (may sit very happily
on the dish)
Classification of death processes
• Programmed cell death (classical apoptosis and
autophagic)
– Requires energy, activation of caspases (proteolysis)
and nucleases (chromatin fragment)
• Necrotic death
– Loss of energy leads to ion imbalance across plama
membrane (Na/K ATPase)
• Mitotic death
– Acute mitotic catastrophe, or loss of essential genetic
material
Tumor cell reproductive death
(Clonogenic death)

Radiation-Induced Apoptosis
• 1992 Lowe showed oncogenically transformed
mouse cells apoptosed in response to DNA
damage in a p53-dependent manner
• Apoptotic p53 effector genes identified: bax,
PUMA, noxa, perp (and others)
• However, p53 sensitizes to hypoxia without
transactivation
Apoptotically sensitive
Tumor Cells show
clonogenic sensitivity
Apoptotic Cascades
• Receptor Mediated
– Fas/TNFR family, FADD, Caspase 8, effector
caspases
• Mitochondrially Mediated
– Cytochrome C, APAF-1, Caspase 9, effector
caspases
• Crosstalk in pathways at C8-Bid acitvation
Bcl2 identified as oncogene because of
translocation caused activation
Large survival benefit in hematologic malignancies, less significant in solid tumors
BH3-only act as
trigger for the
apoptotic signal

Autophagic Death
• Autohagy is active “self eating”
• Process for degradation of cellular constituents
that do not fit in the proteasome (Aggregates or
organelles)
• Tagging of proteins through ATG5-ATG12
system
• Beclin-1 is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor
gene
Autophagic machinery
Klionsky Nature 2008
Radiation Senescence
• First described in normal cells
• Later determined to occur in tumor cells
• Senescence-associated B-galactosidase as a
marker
• p53 and p21 as major contributors

Roninson CR 2003)
Mitotic catastrophe
• Caused by a combination of deficient cell cycle
checkpoint and cellular damage at mitosis
• Has characteristics of apoptosis (capase 2
activation)
• Thought to prevent aneuploidy, so loss could
contribute to tumor progression
Characteristics of Mitotic Catastrophe
Mitotic catastrophy induced by chk2 inhibitor (debromohymenialdesine).

Radiation-Induced
Chromosome Aberrations
• Exact mechanisms not established, but
involves DNA damage and Misrepair
• ATM fragile chromosomes and radiosensitivity
• Multiple lesions needed for complex
aberrations – the D2 component to survival
curves
• Linear relationship between “lethal” lesions and
survival

Nataragan MR 2003
Asymmetric chromosome aberrations
from DSBs
• Occur primarily in unreplicated cells (G1)
• Can result in direct loss of genetic material
– Acentric fragment, internal deletion
• Can lead to future generation events
– Dicentric bridge, breakage, fusion, bridge
• G2 breaks lead to chromatid events, and often
one daughter cell has complete DNA content

Linear Quadratic relation between
Radiation dose and Aberrations
Two linear quadratics make a straight line
Survival and asymmetric
chromosome lesions are
linearly related.

Bystander Role in Radiation Induced
Cellular Death
• Photon does not pass through the cell, but
there is still a biologic effect
• Due to secreted substance (paracrine), or one
passed through gap junctions
• Can lead to late effect mutation or even cell
death
• Not really dose-dependent
Clonal effects
“Bystander effects”
Mothersill and Seymour 2004
Summary
• Radiation can induce “death” through a number of
established pathways
– Most significant fraction is due aberrations in solid
tumors
• Oncogenic transformation can alter inherent
sensitivity to PCD (more myc, less bcl2)
• Radiation sensitizers very difficult to achieve
because they have to be specific for tumor cells
