DNA polymerase (Pol) ν and Pol θ are two specialized A-family DNA polymerases that function in the translesion synthesis of certain DNA lesions. However, the biological functions of human Pols ν and θ in cellular replicative bypass of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), an important carcinogenesis-related biomarker of oxidative DNA damage, remain unclear. Herein, we showed that depletion of Pols ν and θ in human cells could cause an elevated hypersensitivity to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide. Using next-generation sequencing-based lesion bypass and mutagenesis assay, we further demonstrated that Pols ν and θ had important roles in promoting translesion synthesis of 8-oxoG in human cells. We also found that the depletion of Pol ν, but not Pol θ, caused a substantial reduction in G → T mutation frequency for 8-oxoG. These findings provided novel insights into the involvement of A-family DNA polymerases in oxidative DNA damage response.
