Expression of BER and DNA damage signaling-associated genes in NBCCS fibroblasts after irradiation. Gene expression was investigated by RT-qPCR experiments in NBCCS vs. control fibroblasts at 4 h after 6 Gy ionizing irradiation. After total RNA extraction of each cell line, they were retro-transcribed in complementary DNA. 20 ng of cDNA were used to detect specific gene expression. Three independent experiences were realized (n = 3). The calibrator use is non-irradiated GM00730. The upper panel reports results for the BER genes while the lower one shows data for the DNA double strand breaks repair. Collapse of BER glycosylases gene expression as well as DNA Damage Response gene signaling are demonstrated here. No statistical differences in the expression of the polymerase beta was found. Furthermore, gene expression of the normal cell line was decreased after a stress. *Significantly (p < 0.05) different from the irradiated normal cells (GM00730).
