18682529 Kulkarni A, McNeill DR, Gleichmann M, Mattson MP, Wilson DM 3rd: XRCC1 protects against the lethality of induced oxidative DNA damage in nondividing neural cells. Nucleic Acids Res. 2008 Sep;36(15):5111-21. Epub 2008 Aug 5.

We demonstrate herein that shRNA lentiviral-mediated XRCC1 knockdown in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells results in a largely selective increase in sensitivity of the nondividing (i.e. terminally differentiated) cell population to the redox-cycling agents, menadione and paraquat; this reduced survival was accompanied by an accumulation of DNA strand breaks.
