Abstract

The primary goal of the program is to assess novel therapeutic candidates in preclinical models of Fanconi anemia (FA). The specific objective of Core C is to systematically evaluate the activity of those FA candidate therapeutic agents in modulating DNA damage response (DDR) and DNA repair using cell-based and biochemical assays. Accordingly, Core C will provide a variety of DDR and DNA repair assay services to the investigators in Projects 1-3.
The specific aims of Core C are: 1) Systematically evaluate the activity of FA therapy small molecule candidates in DDR assays and DNA repair assays, 2) Collect FA cell lines for all in vitro assays, 3) Integrate the data collected by Core C with the data collected by projects 1-3, and 4) Generate publication-grade data for the project and core leaders.

Public Health Relevance

Core C will provide an extensive list of DNA damage and repair assays, including in vitro biochemical assays and cellular assays, for the investigators in the three Projects. Core C will play an essential role in the overall program, facilitating the completion of the aims of each Project. Importantly, Core C will aid in the development of novel therapies for the treatment of bone marrow failure in Fanconi anemia by evaluating a beneficial effects of candidate agents on DNA repair.
