Review of Literature Comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis assay is a sensitive technique for the detection of DNA damage at the level of the individual cell. The length of comet tail relative to head is the measure of number of DNA breaks 91, 92 . Comet assay has been a method of choice for undertaking various DNA damage and repair studies deciphering cancer risk association 89, 93 . In Host-Cell Reactivation Assay the host cell is transfected with a damaged plasmid containing reporter gene usually luciferase which has been deactivated due to the damage. The ability of the cell to repair the damage in the plasmid after it is introduced to the cell allows the reporter gene to be reactivated leading it to produce its reporting product and indirectly measuring the ability of the cell to repair DNA damage. This assay has also been frequently reported in assessing altered DNA repair capacity and cancer risk association 94, 95 . Another sensitive assay to measure DNA double strand breaks (DSB) and repair is measurement of activated γH2AX. An early cellular response to DSBs is the rapid phosphorylation of H2AX (histone H2A variant) at Ser-139 to produce γH2AX. Immunofluorescence based assays that allows visualization of discrete nuclear foci formed as a result of H2AX phosphorylation is a very sensitive and reliable methods of detecting DSBs 96 . Activation of H2AX plays an important role in signalling and initiating the DNA repair by facilitating downstream repair proteins to reach the site of damage 96, 97 . Hence after DNA damage, appearance and disappearance of γ-H2AX can be used as a parameter to measure DNA damage and repair. Foci of γ-H2AX can be quantified by immunofluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. Measurement of association of cancer risk with DNA damage and repair is often done by measuring γ- H2AX 98-100 . In present study we have selected γ-H2AX foci formation assay as a measure of DNA damage and repair. 2.8.2 Cell cycle regulation and cancer After DNA damage cell cycle check points provide time for the cell to repair possible defects upon exposure to DNA damaging agents before entering into the next phase of cell cycle 101, 102 . There are two important check point for cell cycle regulation G1/S and G2/M. The G1/S checkpoint prevents the cell from replicating damaged DNA and G2/M checkpoint is activated by DNA damage and by incompletely replicated DNA. Considerable experimental evidence support the view that alteration in these cell cycle check points can lead to genomic instability and inappropriate survival of genetically damaged cells and contribute to the evolution of cells to malignancy 103 . 42
Review of Literature Inefficient cell cycle regulation with loss of cell cycle arrest after genotoxic exposure is associated with various cancers mainly lung cancer, oral cancer 93, 103-106 . Therefore assessment of cell cycle regulation is important intermediated phenotype to be measured to completely understand cancer predisposition. This is frequently done by staining cells with DNA binding dyes like, Propidium Iodide, Ethidium Bromide and DAPI. 2.8.3 Apoptotic response and cancer Under normal circumstances when a cell is exposed to a genotoxic agent it elicits highly preserved and well-regulated responses including cell cycle check point which allows cell to repair the damaged DNA. However in cases where the damage is severe and cannot be repaired, the cells will go into apoptosis or programmed cell death which is a safe way to inhibit risk acquiring neoplastic autonomy 107 . Studies in transgenic and knockout mice provide direct evidence that disruption of apoptosis can promote tumour development 108 A failure in proper apoptotic response after extreme genotoxic exposure may also contribute to cancer development. There are few reports available where disruption of apoptosis is associated with cancer 53, 104, 105 . In a report by Zheng et al, γ-radiation induced apoptosis has been observed as a biomarker of genetic susceptibility to salivary and thyroid carcinoma along with defects in cell cycle regulation 104 . Similarly defective apoptotic response has also been associated with Lung cancer risk and is suggested to be used a susceptibility marker 53, 105 . Therefore apoptotic response after genotoxic exposure is also an important phenotype to be assessed when developing an association of cancer risk. 2.8.4 Altered gene expression and cancer Differences in cellular responses after genotoxic exposure can be attributed differential gene expression. The tool of microarray analysis is an efficient means to study the differential expression of many genes simultaneously 109, 110 . Differential expression of genes in important carcinogenesis pathways is frequently reported which can be considered as driving malignant changes 111, 112 . Differential expression of genes in DNA repair pathways like nucleotide excision repair genes are found to be associated with in lung cancer 111 . A more than 2 fold increased of risk of head and neck cancer has been observed in individuals expressing lower levels of nucleotide 43
