July 2017 in “Cancer Research” The study explored the role of polyamines in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, particularly focusing on their involvement in the homologous recombination (HR) repair pathway rather than non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). It was found that polyamines enhance the RAD51-mediated DNA strand exchange reaction by improving duplex DNA capture, which is crucial for the repair process. The research utilized biochemical analyses, cell-based experiments, and an animal model using mouse hair follicles to demonstrate the physiological significance of polyamines in DNA repair. These findings provided valuable insights into the mechanistic role of polyamines in DNA repair, highlighting their potential impact on tumorigenesis due to their increased levels in many cancers.
