A genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies ZNF251 critical for resistance to PARP inhibitors

ABSTRACT: The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) inhibitors are an exciting new class of agents that have shown efficacy in treating various cancers, especially these harboring BRCA1/2 mutations. The cancer associated BRCA1/2 mutations disrupt DNA double strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR). PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have been applied to trigger synthetic lethality in BRCA1/2-mutated cancer cells by promoting accumulation of toxic DSBs. Unfortunately, PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance is common and develops through multiple mechanisms. Restoration of HR and/or stabilizing replication forks are two major mechanisms of PARPi resistance in BRCA1/2-mutated cells. To further understand the mechanisms of drug resistance to PARPi, we undertook an unbiased approach with a CRISPR-pooled library to screen new genes whose loss-of-function confers resistance to PARPi olaparib. We identified ZNF251, a transcription factor, and confirmed its loss-of-function led to the PARPi resistance in BRCA1-mutated breast and ovarian cancer lines. Elevated activities of both HR and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair were detected in cancer cells harboring BRCA1 mutation and ZNF251 deletion (BRCA1mut+ZNF251del) and were associated with enhanced expression of RAD51 and Ku70/Ku80, respectively. Furthermore, we showed that DNA-PKcs inhibitor restored sensitivity of BRCA1mut+ZNF251del cells to PARPi. Taken together, our study identified a novel gene whose loss of function conferred resistance to PARPi, providing new insight into signaling pathways that contribute to acquired resistance in BRCA1-mutated breast and ovarian cancers.

ADP-ribosylation Levels Correlate with Gene Expression Patterns and Clinical Outcomes in Ovarian Cancers

Project description:Inhibitors of nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes (e.g., PARP-1) have improved clinical outcomes in ovarian cancer, especially in patients with BRCA1/2 gene mutations or additional homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair pathway deficiencies. These defects serve as biomarkers for response to PARP inhibitors (PARPi). We sought to identify an additional biomarker that could predict responses to both conventional chemotherapy and PARPi in ovarian cancers. We focused on cellular ADP-ribosylation (ADPRylation), which is catalyzed by PARP enzymes and detected by detection reagents we developed previously. We determined molecular phenotypes of 34 high-grade serous ovarian cancers and associated them with clinical outcomes.

A HUWE1 defect causes PARP inhibitor resistance by modulating the BRCA1-∆11q splice variant

Project description:Although PARP inhibitors (PARPi) now form part of the standard-of-care for the treatment of homologous recombination defective cancers, de novo and acquired resistance limits their overall effectiveness. Previously, overexpression of the BRCA1-∆11q splice variant has been shown to cause PARPi resistance. How cancer cells achieve increased BRCA1-∆11q expression has remained unclear. Using isogenic cells with different BRCA1 mutations, we show that reduction in HUWE1 leads to increased levels of BRCA1-∆11q and PARPi resistance. This effect is specific to cells able to express BRCA1-∆11q (e.g. BRCA1 exon 11 mutant cells) and is not seen in BRCA1 mutants that cannot express BRCA1-∆11q, nor in BRCA2 mutant cells. As well as increasing levels of BRCA1-∆11q protein in exon 11 mutant cells, HUWE1 silencing also restores RAD51 nuclear foci and platinum salt resistance. HUWE1 catalytic domain mutations were also seen in a case of PARPi resistant, BRCA1 exon 11 mutant, high grade serous ovarian cancer. These results suggest how elevated levels of BRCA1-∆11q and PARPi resistance can be achieved, identify HUWE1 as a candidate biomarker of PARPi resistance for assessment in future clinical trials and illustrate how some PARPi resistance mechanisms may only operate in patients with particular BRCA1 mutations.

The N6-methylation of adenosine (m6A) in FZD10 mRNA contributes to PARP inhibitor resistance

Project description:Chemical modifications of RNAs have emerged as a new layer of epigenetic gene regulation. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant chemical modification of messenger RNA (mRNA). The m6A modification affects RNA fate and functions such as RNA stability. Despite the high initial response rates to PARP inhibitors in BRCA1/2-mutated epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC), PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance remains a major challenge. The role of m6A modification in PARPi resistance has not previously been explored. Here we show that m6A modification of FZD10 mRNA contributes to PARPi resistance by upregulating the Wnt/-catenin pathway in BRCA-mutated EOC cells. Global m6A profile reveals a significant increase in m6A modification in FZD10 mRNA. This correlates with an increase in FZD10 mRNA stability and an upregulation of the Wnt/-catenin pathway in PARPi resistant cells. FZD10 knockdown or inhibition of the Wnt/-catenin sensitizes the resistant cells to PARPi. Mechanistically, downregulation of m6A demethylases FTO and ALKBH5 is sufficient to increase FZD10 mRNA m6A modification and reduce PARPi sensitivity, which correlates with an increase in homologous recombination activity. Moreover, PAPRi and Wnt/-catenin inhibitor showed synergistic suppression of growth of PAPRi resistant cells both in vitro and in vivo in a xenograft ovarian cancer mouse model. Our results show that m6A contributes to PAPRi resistance in BRCA-deficient EOC cells by upregulating the Wnt/-catenin pathway through stabilizing FZD10. They also suggest that inhibition of Wnt/-catenin pathway represents a potential strategy to overcome PARPi resistance.

ALC1 and PARP activities coordinate chromatin accessibility and viability in homologous recombination deficient cells (RNA-seq)

Project description:The response to Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) is dictated by homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair mechanisms and the abundance of lesions that trap PARP enzymes on chromatin. It remains unclear, however, if the established role of PARP in promoting chromatin accessibility impacts viability in these settings. Using a CRISPR based screen, we identify the PAR-binding Snf2-like ATPase, ALC1 as a key determinant of PARPi toxicity in HR-deficient cells. ALC1 loss reduced viability of BRCA mutant cells and enhanced their sensitivity to PARPi by up to 250-fold, while overcoming several known resistance mechanisms. ALC1 loss was not epistatic to other repair pathways that execute the PARPi response. Instead, ALC1 deficiency reduced chromatin accessibility concomitant with a decrease in the association of repair factors. This resulted in an accumulation of replication associated DNA damage and a reliance on HR. These findings establish PAR-dependent chromatin remodeling as a mechanistically distinct aspect of PARPi responses, implicating ALC1 inhibition as a new approach to overcome therapeutic resistance in HR-deficient cancers.

Role of ALDH1A1 in PARPi resistance in ovarian cancer

Project description:Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are approved to treat recurrent ovarian cancer with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, and as maintenance therapy for recurrent platinum sensitive ovarian cancer (BRCA wild-type or mutated) after treatment with platinum. However, the acquired resistance against PARPi remains a clinical hurdle. Our previous study has demonstrated that PARPi can enhance the Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity in ovarian cancer cells, mainly through inducing expression of ALDH1A1, an isoform of the ALDH family. In addition, an ALDH1A1 selective inhibitor can synergize with olaparib in killing EOC cells carrying BRCA2 mutation in both in vitro cell culture and the in vivo xenograft animal model. In order to elucidating the mechanism by which ALDH1A1 renders PARPi resistance to ovarian cancer, we performed RNA-seq analysis to identify genes whose expression can be regulated by ALDH1A1.

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.

Olaparib resistance and cisplatin responses in triple negative breast cancer

Project description:PARP inhibitor and platinum based drugs such as cisplatin are promising therapies for triple negative breast cancer and exploit the deficiencies in BRCA1 or BRCA2, or homologous recombination repair defects. However, PARP inhibitor resistance is proven to be a major clinical problem. Acquired PARP inhibitor resistance has been linked with co-resistance to platinum-based drugs. To determine how acquired olaparib resistance affects cisplatin response and whether this is influenced by their BRCA1 status, we performed RNAseq transcriptome analysis of isogenic triple negative breast cancer models of olaparib resistance with normal and mutant BRCA1.

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.
