Abstract

DNA damage accumulates in cells as a result of exposure to exogenous agents such as benzopyrene, cigarette smoke, ultraviolet light, X-ray, and endogenous chemicals including reactive oxygen species produced from normal metabolic byproducts. DNA damage can also occur during aberrant DNA processing reactions such as DNA replication, recombination, and repair. The major of DNA damage affects the primary structure of the double helix; that is, the bases are chemically modified. These modification can disrupt the molecules'regular helical structure by introducing non-native chemical bonds or bulky adducts that do not fit in the standard double helix. DNA repair genes and proteins scan the global genome to detect and remove DNA damage and damage to single nucleotides. Direct reversal of DNA damage, base excision repair, double strand break. DNA repair are known relevant DNA repair mechanisms. Four different mechanisms are distinguished within excision repair: direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and mismatch repair. Genetic variation in DNA repair genes can modulate DNA repair capacity and alter cancer risk. The instability of a cell to properly regulate its proliferation in the presence of DNA damage increase risk of gene mutation and carcinogenesis. This article aimed to review mechanism of excision repair and to understand the relationship between genetic variation of excision repair genes and head and neck cancer.

DNA 손상 치유 유전자 연구를 기초로 한 임상적 접근이 새로운 치료방법으로 떠오르고 있다. 많은 연구들이 중요한 DNA 수복유전자의 다형성을 찾아내어 각각의 단백질의 활동성에 대한 영향을 알아내고 특정한 치료법을 찾아내고 임상적 적용을 시도하고 결과를 평가하였다. 그 결과 암 치료에서 정상 세포와 암세포에서 DNA 수복 유전자의 발현 분석은 화학요법이나 방사선 치료에서 개인맞춤형 치료법을 가능하게 하고 있다. 예를 들어, NER이 결핍된 종양은 cisplatin 치료에 민감성을 나타내고, MMR 결핍세포는 알킬화 화학요법 약제에 높은 내성을 나타낸다. 선천성 비폴립성 결장암과 같은 MMR 결손종양 또한 알킬화 화학요법 약제에 의한 치료에 내성을 가진다. 신경교종(glioma)에서 MGMT 유전자 프로모터가 흔히 메틸화되는데 이것은 유전자 발현이 억제되고 알킬화 화학요법제에 대한 반응성을 증가시킨다. 향후 구강악안면외과 영역에서도 구강암의 발생의 위험성을 증가시킬 수 있는 더 많은 DNA 수복 유전자의 다형성을 발굴하고 임상적으로 개인맞춤형 치료법을 개발하고 적용할 수 있는 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
