This study explores how the inhibition of the ATPase domain of human Topoisomerase II alpha (Hu-TopoIIα) by quinones, such as 1,4-benzoquinone and 9,10-phenanthroquinone, leads to significant DNA damage within cells. By disrupting the TopoIIα-DNA complexes, these compounds impair DNA cleavage and religation, resulting in the formation of double-strand breaks (DSBs). The research highlights the impact of histone phosphorylation and subsequent DNA repair in the cytoplasm and nucleus, emphasizing cell survival challenges and potential implications for cancer therapy due to DNA damage and chromosomal aberrations.
