ABSTRACT
Elevated oxidative stress, which threatens genome stability, has been detected in almost all types of cancers. Cells employ various DNA repair pathways to cope with DNA damage induced by oxidative stress. Recently, a lot of studies have provided insights into DNA damage response upon oxidative stress, specifically in the context of transcriptionally active genomes. Here, we summarize recent studies to help understand how the transcription is regulated upon DNA double strand breaks (DSB) and how DNA repair pathways are selectively activated at the damage sites coupling with transcription. The role of RNA molecules, especially R-loops and RNA modifications during the DNA repair process, is critical for protecting genome stability. This review provides an update on how cells protect transcribed genome loci via transcription-coupled repair pathways.
