Interferon regulatory factor-1 suppresses DNA damage response and reverses chemotherapy resistance by downregulating the expression of RAD51 in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have shown that IRF-1 plays a significant role in various tumour-induced chemoresistance, but its role and mechanism in gastric cancer-associated chemoresistance are not clear. Our study showed that IRF-1 expression could reverse gastric cancer-related chemoresistance. Dysregulated DNA repair is an important cause of chemoresistance. We established a chemoresistant gastric cancer cell line and found that drug-resistant gastric cancer cells had increased DNA repair ability and that IRF-1 regulated DNA damage repair. Further studies showed that IRF-1 inhibited the expression of RAD51 directly by binding to the RAD51 promoter to affect DNA damage repair; this binding reversed resistance. However, restoring the expression of RAD51 halted the inhibitory effect of IRF-1 partially. Also, we revealed that the overexpression of IRF-1 in a mouse model synergized with chemotherapeutic drugs to inhibit tumour growth. Finally, IRF-1 expression correlated with RAD51 expression in gastric cancer specimens. The expression of IRF-1 and RAD51 are both related to the survival duration of patients with gastric cancer. These results suggest that targeting IRF-1-RAD51 could be an effective approach to reversing multidrug resistance in gastric cancer.

Project description:The innate immune response is vital for host defense and must be tightly controlled, but the mechanisms responsible for its negative regulation are not fully understood. The cell growth-regulating nucleolar protein LYAR was found to promote replication of multiple viruses in our previous study. Here, we report that LYAR acts as a negative regulator of innate immune responses. We found that LYAR expression is induced by beta interferon (IFN-β) during virus infection. Further studies showed that LYAR interacts with phosphorylated IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) to impede the DNA binding capacity of IRF3, thereby suppressing the transcription of IFN-β and downstream IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). In addition, LYAR inhibits nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)-mediated expression of proinflammatory cytokines. In summary, our study reveals the mechanism of LYAR in modulating IFN-β-mediated innate immune responses by targeting phosphorylated IRF3, which not only helps us to better understand the mechanisms of LYAR-regulated virus replication but also uncovers a novel role of LYAR in host innate immunity.IMPORTANCE Type I interferon (IFN-I) plays a critical role in the antiviral innate immune responses that protect the host against virus infection. The negative regulators of IFN-I are important not only for fine-tuning the antiviral responses to pathogens but also for preventing excessive inflammation. Identification of negative regulators and study of their modulation in innate immune responses will lead to new strategies for the control of both viral and inflammatory diseases. Here, we report for the first time that the cell growth-regulating nucleolar protein LYAR behaves as a repressor of host innate immune responses. We demonstrate that LYAR negatively regulates IFN-β-mediated immune responses by inhibiting the DNA binding ability of IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Our study reveals a common mechanism of LYAR in promoting different virus replication events and improves our knowledge of host negative regulation of innate immune responses.
