SummarySister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) are products of joint DNA molecule resolution, and are considered to form through homologous recombination (HR). Indeed, upon generation of irradiation-induced DNA breaks, SCE induction was compromised in cells deficient for canonical HR factors BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51. Contrarily, replication-blocking agents, including PARP inhibitors, induced SCEs independently of BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51. PARP inhibitor-induced SCEs were enriched at common fragile sites (CFSs), and were accompanied by post-replicative single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps. Moreover, PARP inhibitor-induced replication lesions were transmitted into mitosis, suggesting that SCEs originate from mitotic processing of under-replicated DNA. We found that DNA polymerase theta (POLQ) was recruited to mitotic DNA lesions, and loss of POLQ resulted in reduced SCE numbers and severe chromosome fragmentation upon PARP inhibition in HR-deficient cells. Combined, our data show that PARP inhibition generates under-replicated DNA, which is transferred into mitosis and processed into SCEs, independently of canonical HR factors.

ABSTRACT Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) under in vivo and in vitro conditions were examined in ganglion cells of third-instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster (Oregon-R). In the in vivo experiment, third-instar larvae were fed on synthetic media containing 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd). After two cell cycles, ganglia were dissected and treated with colchicine. In the in vitro experiment, the ganglia were also incubated in media containing BrdUrd for two cell cycles, and treated with colchicine. SCEs were scored in metaphase stained with Hoechst 33258 plus Giemsa. The frequencies of SCEs stayed constant in the range of 25-150 vg/ml and 0.25-2.5 vg/ml of BrdUrd in vivo and in vitro, respectively. SCEs gradually increased at higher concentrations, strongly suggesting that at least a fraction of the detected SCEs are spontaneous. The constant levels of SCE frequency were estimated, on the average, at 0.103 per cell per two cell cycles for females and 0.101 for males in vivo and at 0.096 for females and 0.091 for males in vitro. No difference was found in the SCE frequency between sexes at any of the BrdUrd concentrations. The analysis for the distribution of SCEs within chromosomes revealed an extraordinarily high proportion of the SCEs at the junctions between euchromatin and heterochromatin; the remaining SCEs were preferentially localized in the euchromatic regions of the chromosomes and in the heterochromatic Y chromosome. These results were largely inconsistent with those of Gatti et al. (1979).
