Abstract

top
Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) areas arise in cells as a result of exposure to stress agents - like UVC - or during repair of DNA double-strand breaks. ATR(ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related) is responsible for detecting ssDNA. Recently, it has been shown that one of the most important components of cellular response to the damage is Wip1 phosphatase, which inactivates main elements of DNA damage response (DDR) pathways. We developed a mathematical model of ATR detector system, connected to p53 tumor suppressor responsible for activation of genes involved in cellular response to the damage (DNA repair/apoptosis). Moreover, we added Wip1 phosphatase, as a main agent responsible for turning o DDR. Our results show that the apoptotic threshold, where more than half of cells die, is equal to 20 J/m2. The threshold shifts when activity of the specied proteins involved in the pathway is blocked or reduced. Moreover with accurate dose of UVC and silenced or blocked Wip1, it may be possible to drive cancer cells to apoptotic pathway.
