    Abstract Although DNA damage proteins are infrequently regulated at the transcriptional level, RAD52 mRNA levels appear to be significantly induced in human cells following methyl methanesulphonate (MMS) and Etoposide treatment. Studies have so far been limited to biochemical analysis of cellular extracts and we aimed to extend this observation to whole cells. To address this, we have developed a series of molecular beacon (MB) probes that fluoresce upon hybridising with RAD52 mRNA sequence. MB's are synthetic hairpin probes, which generate a significant fluorescent signal only upon hybridising complementary nucleotide. Three MB's are described herein, which display differential sensitivity, specificity and stability. In particular, the suitability of a texas red-labelled DNA MB (TR-MB), a dual-labelled (FAM-TAMRA) fluorescence resonance energy transfer-capable DNA MB (FRET-MB) and a FAM-labelled MB of 2'-O-methylated RNA backbone (FAM-MB) was investigated. We conclude that FAM-MB is most suitable for intracellular applications, and demonstrate a positive correlation between MB fluorescence intensity, RAD52 gene expression and both gamma ionising radiation and MMS concentration in human TK6 cells. RAD52 contribution to DNA repair has been ascribed to its role in homologous recombination (HR) and therefore we propose FAM-MB could be a potential tool for discriminating between substrates of HR and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ).

    Abstract Physical and chemical agents that induce DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are among the most potent mutagens. The mammalian cell response to DSB comprises a highly co-ordinated, yet complex network of proteins that have been categorized as sensors, signal transducers, mediators and effectors of damage and repair. While this provides an accessible classification system, review of the literature indicates that many proteins satisfy the criteria of more than one category, pointing towards a series of highly co-operative pathways with overlapping function. In summary, the MRE11-NBS1-RAD50 complex is necessary for achieving optimal activation of ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) kinase, which catalyses a phosphorylation-mediated signal transduction cascade. Among the subset of proteins phosphorylated by ATM are histone H2AX (H2AX), mediator of damage checkpoint protein 1, nibrin (NBS1), P53-binding protein 1 and breast cancer protein 1, all of which subsequently redistribute into DSB-containing sub-nuclear compartments. Post-translational modification of DSB responding proteins achieves a rapid and reversible change in protein behaviour and mediates damage-specific interactions, hence imparting a high degree of vigilance to the cell. This review highlights events fundamental in maintaining genetic integrity with emphasis on early stages of the DSB response.

    Abstract AZD0156 is a potent and selective, bioavailable inhibitor of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein, a signaling kinase involved in the DNA damage response. We present preclinical data demonstrating abrogation of irradiation-induced ATM signaling by low doses of AZD0156, as measured by phosphorylation of ATM substrates. AZD0156 is a strong radiosensitizer

    Abstract Inhibition of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) during radiotherapy of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) may improve tumor control by short-circuiting the response to radiation-induced DNA damage. A major impediment for clinical implementation is that current inhibitors have limited central nervous system (CNS) bioavailability; thus, the goal was to identify ATM inhibitors (ATMi) with improved CNS penetration. Drug screens and refinement of lead compounds identified AZ31 and AZ32. The compounds were then tested

    Abstract Background: Child maltreatment is a substantial social problem that affects large numbers of children and young people in the UK, resulting in a range of significant short- and long-term psychosocial problems.
    Objectives: To synthesise evidence of the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and acceptability of interventions addressing the adverse consequences of child maltreatment.
    Study design: For effectiveness, we included any controlled study. Other study designs were considered for economic decision modelling. For acceptability, we included any study that asked participants for their views.
    Participants: Children and young people up to 24 years 11 months, who had experienced maltreatment before the age of 17 years 11 months.
    Interventions: Any psychosocial intervention provided in any setting aiming to address the consequences of maltreatment.
    Main outcome measures: Psychological distress [particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety, and self-harm], behaviour, social functioning, quality of life and acceptability.
    Methods: Young Persons and Professional Advisory Groups guided the project, which was conducted in accordance with Cochrane Collaboration and NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination guidance. Departures from the published protocol were recorded and explained. Meta-analyses and cost-effectiveness analyses of available data were undertaken where possible.
    Results: We identified 198 effectiveness studies (including 62 randomised trials); six economic evaluations (five using trial data and one decision-analytic model); and 73 studies investigating treatment acceptability. Pooled data on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for sexual abuse suggested post-treatment reductions in PTSD [standardised mean difference (SMD) -0.44 (95% CI -4.43 to -1.53)], depression [mean difference -2.83 (95% CI -4.53 to -1.13)] and anxiety [SMD -0.23 (95% CI -0.03 to -0.42)]. No differences were observed for post-treatment sexualised behaviour, externalising behaviour, behaviour management skills of parents, or parental support to the child. Findings from attachment-focused interventions suggested improvements in secure attachment [odds ratio 0.14 (95% CI 0.03 to 0.70)] and reductions in disorganised behaviour [SMD 0.23 (95% CI 0.13 to 0.42)], but no differences in avoidant attachment or externalising behaviour. Few studies addressed the role of caregivers, or the impact of the therapist-child relationship. Economic evaluations suffered methodological limitations and provided conflicting results. As a result, decision-analytic modelling was not possible, but cost-effectiveness analysis using effectiveness data from meta-analyses was undertaken for the most promising intervention: CBT for sexual abuse. Analyses of the cost-effectiveness of CBT were limited by the lack of cost data beyond the cost of CBT itself.
    Conclusions: It is not possible to draw firm conclusions about which interventions are effective for children with different maltreatment profiles, which are of no benefit or are harmful, and which factors encourage people to seek therapy, accept the offer of therapy and actively engage with therapy. Little is known about the cost-effectiveness of alternative interventions.
    Limitations: Studies were largely conducted outside the UK. The heterogeneity of outcomes and measures seriously impacted on the ability to conduct meta-analyses.
    Future work: Studies are needed that assess the effectiveness of interventions within a UK context, which address the wider effects of maltreatment, as well as specific clinical outcomes.
    Study registration: This study is registered as PROSPERO CRD42013003889.
    Funding: The National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme.

    Abstract Poor survival rates of patients with tumors arising from or disseminating into the brain are attributed to an inability to excise all tumor tissue (if operable), a lack of blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration of chemotherapies/targeted agents, and an intrinsic tumor radio-/chemo-resistance. Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein orchestrates the cellular DNA damage response (DDR) to cytotoxic DNA double-strand breaks induced by ionizing radiation (IR). ATM genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition results in tumor cell hypersensitivity to IR. We report the primary pharmacology of the clinical-grade, exquisitely potent (cell IC
