Chronic oxidative stress promotes H2AX protein degradation and enhances chemosensitivity in breast cancer patients

Abstract Anti‐cancer drugs often increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cause DNA damage. Here, we highlight a new cross talk between chronic oxidative stress and the histone variant H2AX, a key player in DNA repair. We observe that persistent accumulation of ROS, due to a deficient JunD‐/Nrf2‐a...
