Vanguard is a glucose deprivation-responsive long non-coding RNA essential for chromatin remodeling-reliant DNA repair

ABSTRACT: Glucose metabolism contributes to DNA damage response (DDR) pathways by regulating chromatin remodeling, double-strand break (DSB) repair, and redox homeostasis, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully established. Here, we reveal a previously uncharacterized long noncoding RNA we call Vanguard which acts to promote HMGB1-dependent DNA repair in association with changes in global chromatin accessibility. Vanguard expression is maintained in cancer cells by SP1-dependent transcription according to glucose availability and cellular ATP levels. Vanguard promotes complex formation between HMGB1 and HDAC1, with the resulting deacetylation of HMGB1 serving to maintain its nuclear localization and DSB repair function. However, Vanguard downregulation under glucose limiting conditions promotes HMGB1 translocation from the nucleus, increasing DNA damage and compromising cancer cell growth and viability. Moreover, Vanguard silencing increases the effectiveness of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) against breast cancer cells with wildtype breast cancer gene-1 status, suggesting Vanguard as a potential therapeutic target.

High Mobility Group Box protein 3 (HMGB3) facilitates DNA interstrand crosslink processing and double-strand break repair in human cells

Project description:DNA damaging agents can contribute to genetic instability, and such agents are often used in cancer chemotherapeutic regimens due to their cytotoxicity. Thus, understanding the mechanisms involved in DNA damage processing can not only enhance our knowledge of basic DNA repair mechanisms, but may also be used to develop improved chemotherapeutic strategies to treat cancer. The high mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a known nucleotide excision repair (NER) co-factor, and its family member HMGB3 has been implicated in chemo-resistance in ovarian cancer. Here, we aim to understand the potential role(s) of HMGB3 in processing DNA damage. A potential role in NER was investigated using HMGB3 knockout human cell lines in response to UV damage. Interestingly, unlike HMGB1, HMGB3 does not appear to play a role in NER. Subsequently, potential roles in DNA interstrand crosslink (ICL) and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair were investigated using mutagenesis assays, metaphase spreads, foci formation, a variety of DNA repair assays, and Tag-Seq analyses in human cells. We found evidence to suggest that HMGB3 is involved in the processing of both DSBs and ICLs in human cells. These novel results elucidate a role for HMGB3 in DNA damage repair, and surprisingly, also indicate a distinct role of HMGB3 in DNA damage repair from that of HMGB1. These findings advance our understanding of the role of HMGB3 in chemotherapeutic drug resistance and as a target for new chemotherapeutic strategies in the treatment of cancer.

HMGB1 contributes to mitochondrial DNA damage repair and extends lifespan in mutant ataxin-1 knock-in mice

Project description:Mutant ataxin-1 (Atxn1), which causes spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), binds to and impairs the function of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a critical nuclear protein that regulates DNA architectural changes essential for DNA damage repair and transcription. In this study, we established that transgenic or virus vector-mediated supplementation of HMGB1 ameliorates motor dysfunction and elongates lifespan in mutant Atxn1 knock-in (Atxn1-KI) mice. We identified mitochondrial DNA damage repair by HMGB1 as a novel molecular basis for this effect, in addition to the mechanisms already associated with HMGB1 function, such as nuclear DNA damage repair and nuclear transcription. The dysfunction and the improvement of mitochondrial DNA damage repair functions are tightly associated with the exacerbation and rescue, respectively, of symptoms, supporting the involvement of mitochondrial DNA quality control by HMGB1 in SCA1 pathology. Moreover, we show that the rescue of Purkinje cell dendrites and dendritic spines by HMGB1 could be downstream effects. Although extracellular HMGB1 triggers inflammation mediated by toll-like receptor and receptor for advanced glycation end products, upregulation of intracellular HMGB1 does not induce such side effects. Thus, viral delivery of HMGB1 is a candidate approach by which to modify the disease progression of SCA1 even after its onset.

Activation of PARP-1 by snoRNAs Controls Ribosome Biogenesis and Cell Growth via the RNA Helicase DDX21 (RNA-Seq)

Project description:PARP inhibitors (PARPi) prevent cancer cell growth by inducing synthetic lethality with DNA repair defects (e.g., in BRCA1/2 mutant cells). We have identified an alternate pathway for PARPi-mediated growth control in BRCA1/2-intact breast cancer cells involving rDNA transcription and ribosome biogenesis. PARP-1 binds to snoRNAs, which stimulate PARP-1 catalytic activity in the nucleolus independent of DNA damage. Activated PARP-1 ADP-ribosylates DDX21, an RNA helicase that localizes to nucleoli and promotes rDNA transcription when ADP-ribosylated. Treatment with PARPi or mutation of the ADP-ribosylation sites reduce DDX21 nucleolar localization, rDNA transcription, ribosome biogenesis, protein translation, and cell growth. The salient features of this pathway are evident in xenografts in mice and human breast cancer patient samples. Elevated levels of PARP-1 and nucleolar DDX21 are associated with cancer-related outcomes. Our studies provide a mechanistic rationale for efficacy of PARPi in cancer cells lacking defects in DNA repair whose growth is inhibited by PARPi.

Activation of PARP-1 by snoRNAs Controls Ribosome Biogenesis and Cell Growth via the RNA Helicase DDX21

Project description:PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are thought to control cancer cell growth by inducing synthetic lethality with DNA repair defects (e.g., in BRCA1/2 mutant cells). We have identified an alternate pathway for PARPi-mediated growth control in BRCA1/2-intact breast cancer cells involving rDNA transcription and ribosome biogenesis. PARP-1 binds to snoRNAs, which stimulate PARP-1 catalytic activity in the nucleolus independent of DNA damage. Activated PARP-1 ADPribosylates DDX21, an RNA helicase that localizes to the rDNA locus and promotes rDNA transcription when ADP-ribosylated. Treatment with PARPi or mutation of the ADP-ribosylation sites on DDX21 causes a reduction in rDNA transcription, as well as a reduction in ribosome biogenesis, protein translation, and cell growth. Our studies provide mechanistic insights into PARP-1-dependent ADP-ribosylation of DDX21 and its role in ribosome biogenesis. This pathway can be targeted for disruption in cancer cells that lack defects in DNA repair, but exhibit growth inhibition in response to PARPi.

Ma2005-digital response of p53 to DNA damage-ATM Activation Module

Project description:Recent observations show that the single-cell response of p53 to ionizing radiation (IR) is “digital” in that it is the number of oscillations rather than the amplitude of p53 that shows dependence on the radiation dose. We present a model of this phenomenon. In our model, double-strand break (DSB) sites induced by IR interact with a limiting pool of DNA repair proteins, forming DSB–protein complexes at DNA damage foci. The persisting complexes are sensed by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a protein kinase that activates p53 once it is phosphorylated by DNA damage. The ATM-sensing module switches on or off the downstream p53 oscillator, consisting of a feedback loop formed by p53 and its negative regulator, Mdm2. In agreement with experiments, our simulations show that by assuming stochasticity in the initial number of DSBs and the DNA repair process, p53 and Mdm2 exhibit a coordinated oscillatory dynamics upon IR stimulation in single cells, with a stochastic number of oscillations whose mean increases with IR dose. The damped oscillations previously observed in cell populations can be explained as the aggregate behavior of single cell

HMGB1 signaling phosphorylates Ku70 and impairs DNA damage repair in Alzheimer’s disease pathology

Project description:DNA damage is increased in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), while the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we employ comprehensive phosphoproteome analysis, and identify abnormal phosphorylation of 70 kDa subunit of Ku antigen (Ku70) at Ser77/78, which prevents Ku70-DNA interaction, in human AD postmortem brains. The abnormal phosphorylation inhibits accumulation of Ku70 to the foci of DNA double strand break (DSB), impairs DNA damage repair and eventually causes transcriptional repression-induced atypical cell death (TRIAD). Cells under TRIAD necrosis reveal senescence phenotypes. Extracellular high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein, which is released from necrotic or hyper-activated neurons in AD, binds to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) of neighboring neurons, and activates protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) that executes Ku70 phosphorylation at Ser77/78. Administration of human anti-HMGB1 antibody to post-symptomatic AD model mice decreases neuronal DSBs, suppresses secondary TRIAD necrosis of neurons, prevents escalation of neurodegeneration, and ameliorates cognitive symptoms. TRIAD shares multiple features with senescence. These results newly unravel the HMGB1-Ku70 axis that accounts for the increase of neuronal DNA damage and secondary enhancement of TRIAD, the cell death phenotype of senescence, in AD.

Inhibition of USP28 sensitizes ovarian cancer to PARP inhibitor through mediating SOX9 deubiquitination

Project description:PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance presents a significant challenge in ovarian cancer treatment, necessitating the development of effective therapeutic strategies to overcome this resistance and improve patient outcomes. Our study demonstrated that elevated expression of SRY-box 9 (SOX9) contributes to olaparib resistance in ovarian cancer. Mechanistically, the deubiquitinating enzyme USP28 was identified as a novel interacting partner of SOX9. USP28 inhibited the ubiquitination and subsequent lysosomal degradation of SOX9, which is mediated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXW7 during olaparib treatment. ChIP-Seq analysis revealed that SOX9 binds to the promoters of key DNA damage response (DDR) genes (SMARCA4, UIMC1, and SLX4), thereby regulating DDR processes in ovarian cancer. Additionally, USP28 promoted olaparib resistance by stabilizing SOX9 protein and enhancing DNA damage repair. Furthermore, the USP28 specific inhibitor AZ1 reduced SOX9 protein stability and increased the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to olaparib. In conclusion, targeted inhibition of USP28 promoted ubiquitination-mediated degradation of SOX9, thereby impairing DNA damage repair capabilities and sensitizing ovarian cancer cells to PARPi. These findings elucidate the underlying mechanisms of PARPi resistance in ovarian cancer and suggest the potential efficacy of combining USP28 inhibitors with PARPi to overcome this resistance.

ARID1A regulates chromatin organization and establishment of epigenetic marks for DSB repair and transcription silencing

Project description:AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A), a SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex subunit, is frequently mutated across various cancer entities. ARID1A contributes to DNA damage response pathways, and we previously reported that ARID1A loss is associated with mutational signatures linked to DNA repair defects. Here we show that ARID1A is promoting both DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair pathways, non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). ARID1A is accumulated at DSBs after DNA damage and regulates the chromatin loop formation at DSB sites by interacting with the cohesin subunit RAD21 and CTCF insulator protein promoting their enrichment around the DSBs. Further analysis demonstrates that ARID1A’s involvement in DSB repair is accompanied by alterations of chromatin accessibility and distribution of activating histone marks at DSBs. ARID1A binds to and promotes the recruitment of the HDAC1 to control transcription repression at these DSBs. Altogether, ARID1A simultaneously regulates DSB repair and transcription silencing in transcriptionally active chromatin. ARID1A depletion resulted in defective DSB repair, which subsequently led to accumulation of micronuclei, activation of cGAS-STING pathway and an increased expression of immunomodulatory cytokines and chemokines upon IR treatment. Furthermore, low ARID1A expression in cancer patients receiving radiotherapy was associated with higher infiltration of several immune cells. The high mutation rate of ARID1A in various cancer types highlights its clinical relevance as a promising biomarker that correlates with the level of immune regulatory cytokines and can estimate the levels of tumor-infiltrating immune cells and response to combination of radio- and immunotherapy.
