Effects of DNA replication inhibitors on UV excision repair in synchronised human cells.

RESUMO
When HeLa cells are irradiated with UV and treated with the DNA synthesis inhibitors hydroxyurea (HU) and 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara C), DNA strand breaks accumulate at sites where excision repair of DNA damage has been inhibited after the incision step. This break accumulation occurs in mitotic, G1 and S phase cells. But UV-induced repair synthesis of DNA, as measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation into unreplicated DNA, is not inhibited by HU and ara C in G1 or S phase cells, even though replicative synthesis is virtually abolished. Repair and replication must therefore utilise different DNA precursor pools, or different DNA synthetic systems; and the action of Hu and ara C in causing strand break accumulation may occur at the ligation step of excision repair.
