UV (UVC, 40J/m2) light irradiation effect on human hepatoma Hep3B cells

ABSTRACT: human hepatoma Hep3B cells were treated with 40 J/m2 UV light versus untreated Alternative pre-mRNA processing plays a key role in the response to DNA damage as well as in neoplastic transformation. We found that two Ewing Sarcoma (ES) cell lines exhibit different sensitivity to UV light irradiation, with Hep3B_UV_40J-N-MC cells being more sensitive than LAP-35 cells. RNA profiling during the response to low doses of UV light irradiation revealed genes differentially regulated between the two cell lines. In particular, UV light irradiation induced a novel isoform of the RNA helicase DHX9 which is targeted to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and therefore causes down-regulation of DHX9 in Hep3B_UV_40J-N-MC cells, but not in LAP-35 cells. DHX9 protein forms a complex with RNA polymerase II (RNA
