Loss of DUSP3 activity radiosensitizes human tumor cell lines via attenuation of DNA repair pathways.

CONCLUSION: The loss of DUSP3 activity markedly increases gamma radiation-induced DNA strand breaks, suggesting a potential novel role for DUSP3 in DNA repair. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: The radioresistance of tumor cells is effectively reduced by a combination of approaches through the inhibition of DUSPs. PMID: 28389334 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
