The breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, are likely to participate in DNA lesion processing. Oxidative lesions, such as 8-oxoguanine, occur in DNA after endogenous or exogenous oxidative stress. We show that deficiency for either BRCA1 or BRCA2 in human cancer cells leads to a block of the RNA polymerase II transcription machinery at the 8-oxoguanine site and impairs the transcription-coupled repair of the lesion, leading to a high mutation rate. Expression of wild-type BRCA1 from a recombinant adenovirus fully complements the repair defect in BRCA1-deficient cells. These results represent the first demonstration of the essential contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene products in the repair of the 8-oxoguanine oxidative damage specifically located on the transcribed strand in human cells. This suggests that cells from individuals predisposed to breast and/or ovarian cancer may undergo a high rate of mutations because of the deficiency of this damage repair pathway after oxidative stress.
