Core Tip	This is the first study to clarify the two key promoters of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) and Ku 70/80, in human gastric carcinoma tissues. The present study found an upregulated expression of DNA-PKcs and Ku 70/80 in gastric cancer tissues compared with normal gastric mucosa, which suggests that there is an enhanced function of NHEJ in gastric carcinogenesis. As NHEJ is an error-prone and non-specific repair mechanism and can be induced before homologous recombination, its excessive activation is capable of regulating cell cycle arrest, cell apoptosis, chromosome recombination and genome instability.
