DNA double-strand breaks induced by high NaCl occur predominantly in gene deserts


ABSTRACT: High concentration of NaCl increases DNA breaks both in cell culture and in vivo. The breaks remain elevated as long as NaCl concentration remains high and are rapidly repaired when the concentration is lowered. Repair of the breaks after NaCl is reduced is accompanied by formation of foci containing phosphorylated H2AX (M-NM-3H2AX), which occurs around DNA double-strand breaks and contributes to their repair. By chromatin immunoprecipitation using anti-M-NM-3H2AX antibody, followed by massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq), we find that during repair of doubleM-bM-^@M-^Sstrand breaks induced by high NaCl, M-NM-3H2AX is predominantly localized to regions of the genome devoid of genes (M-bM-^@M-^\gene desertsM-bM-^@M-^]), indicating that the high NaCl-induced double-strand breaks are located there. Localization to gene deserts helps explain why the DNA breaks are less harmful than are the random breaks induced by genotoxic agents such as UV radiation, ionizing radiation and oxidants. We propose that the universal presence of NaCl around animal cells has directly influenced the evolution of the structure of their genomes.

High concentration of NaCl increases DNA breaks both in cell culture and in vivo. The breaks remain elevated as long as NaCl concentration remains high and are rapidly repaired when the concentration is lowered. The exact nature of the breaks, and their location, has not been entirely clear, and it has not been evident how cells survive, replicate, and maintain genome integrity in environments like the renal inner medulla in which cells are constantly exposed to high NaCl concentration.
