The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a pivotal component of the DNA
repair machinery that governs the response to DNA damage, serving to maintain
genome integrity. However, the DNA-PK kinase component was initially isolated
with transcriptional complexes, and recent findings have illuminated the impact
of DNA-PK-mediated transcriptional regulation on tumor progression and
therapeutic response. DNA-PK expression has also been correlated with poor
outcome in selected tumor types, further underscoring the importance of
understanding its role in disease. Herein, the molecular and cellular
consequences of DNA-PK are considered, with an eye toward discerning the
rationale for therapeutic targeting of DNA-PK. SIGNIFICANCE: Although DNA-PK is
classically considered a component of damage response, recent findings illuminate
damage-independent functions of DNA-PK that affect multiple tumor-associated
pathways and provide a rationale for the development of novel therapeutic
strategies.
