The inflammatory micro-environment induced by targeted CNS radiotherapy is underpined by disruption of DNA methylation

ABSTRACT: Although targeted radiotherapy (RT) is integral to the increasing survival of cancer patients, it has significant side-effects, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of which are not fully understood. During RT epigenetic changes occur in neoplastic tissue, but few studies have assessed these in non-neoplastic tissue and results are highly variable. Using bulk DNA methylation and RNA sequencing as well as spatial transcriptomics (ST) in a unique cohort of patient tissue samples, we show distinct differences in DNA methylation patterns in irradiated brain tissue, whilst ST characterisation identifies specific micro-environmental niches present after irradiation and highlights neuropeptides that could be propagating neuroinflammation. We also show that in a cerebral organoid (CO) model of early changes in neurons after irradiation there are similar DNA methylation alterations and disruption of the DNA methylation machinery, suggesting that early but persistent epigenetic dysregulation plays a role in neurotoxicity. We provide a link between radiotherapy induced neuroinflammation and disruption of DNA methylation for the first time and suggest possible driving mechanisms for this chronic neuroinflammation.

TIPRL1 and its ATM-dependent phosphorylation modulate the DNA Damage Response to promote radiotherapy resistance in head and neck cancer

Project description:TIPRL1 (target of rapamycin signaling pathway regulator-like 1) is a known interactor and inhibitor of protein phosphatases PP2A, PP4 and PP6 – all pleiotropic modulators of the DNA Damage Response (DDR). Here, we describe a new role for TIPRL1 in the radiotherapy (RT) response of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). TIPRL1 expression was found increased in tumor versus non-tumor tissue, with high tumoral TIPRL1 expression associating with lower locoregional control and decreased survival of RT-treated patients. TIPRL1 deletion in SQD9 cells resulted in increased RT sensitivity, a faster cell cycle arrest, increased micronuclei formation and an altered proteome-wide DDR. Upon irradiation, ATM phosphorylates TIPRL1 at Ser265, contributing to TIPRL1-mediated RT resistance. Mass spectrometry analysis identified DNA-PKcs, RAD51 and nucleosomal histones as novel TIPRL1 interactors in irradiated cells. Histone binding, although stimulated by RT, was adversely affected by TIPRL1 Ser265 phosphorylation. Our findings underscore a clinically relevant role for TIPRL1 and its ATM-dependent phosphorylation in RT resistance through modulation of DNA damage checkpoint activation and repair.

Comprehensive transcriptomic profiling of breast cancer patients in SweBCG 91-RT

Project description:We performed a retrospective analysis of the SweBCG 91-RT trial, which randomized women with node-negative stage I-IIA breast cancer to whole breast radiotherapy or no radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery with minimal use of adjuvant systemic treatment. Primary tumors were profiled with the GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST microarray.

Therapeutic radiation exposure of the abdomen during childhood induces chronic adipose tissue dysfunction

Project description:Childhood cancer survivors who received abdominal radiotherapy (RT) or total body irradiation (TBI) are at increased risk for cardiometabolic disease, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesize that RT-induced adipose tissue dysfunction contributes to the development of cardiometabolic disease in the expanding population of childhood cancer survivors. We performed bulk RNA-sequencing of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue from adult childhood cancer survivors previously exposed to TBI, abdominal RT, or chemotherapy alone, alongside a group of healthy controls. We find that irradiated adipose tissue is characterized by a gene expression signature indicative of a complex macrophage expansion, which is also associated with dysregulated adipokine secretion. The full cohort is 30 subjects; however, 3 participants (2 in CHM group, 1 in CTL group) declined to share their sequencing data in a public database.

Evaluation of Transcriptomic Change in Late-Delayed Radiation following Fractionated Whole Brain Irradiation and High Dose Total Body Irradiation in Non-Human Primates

Project description:Fractionated whole-brain irradiation for the treatment of intracranial neoplasia causes progressive neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. The long-term consequences of high single dose brain irradiation are unknown. In order to assess the late effects of brain irradiation we have compared transcriptomic gene expression profiles from nonhuman primates (rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta) receiving single dose total body irradiation to those given fractionated whole brain radiotherapy and control comparators. Gene expression profiles from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area 46), hippocampus, and deep white matter (centrum semiovale) were compared. The goals of this study were to identify novel potential molecular effects of radiation-induced brain injury, to evaluate regional differences in the cerebral radiation response, and to assess whether animals receiving high dose total body irradiation demonstrated similar transcriptomic patterns as those observed in animals receiving fractionated whole brain irradiation.

Gene expression profiles of primary tumors with radiotherapy and lung metastases in mouse squamous cell carcinoma model.

Project description:To examine whether the local carbon ion radiotherapy affects the characteristics of the metastatic tumors, the expression profiles of the primary tumors and the lung metastases were studied in a mouse squamous cell carcinoma model by applying local radiotherapy with no irradiation (negative control), gamma-ray irradiation (reference beam), and carbon-ion irradiation. Keywords: mouse, squamous cell carcinoma, primary tumor, lung metastases, radiotherapy, carbon ion, gamma ray A highly metastatic mouse squamous cell carcinoma NR-S1 was implanted into the hind leg of synergetic C3H/HeNrs mice and irradiated with 5 Gy of carbon ion beam. 8 Gy of gamma ray was used as a reference beam. At 2 weeks after the irradiation, the lung tissue was sampled. In order to collect samples of primary tumors, the tumors were implanted in other mice and irradiated in the same manner, and the primary tumors were collected at 1 week after the irradiation. The tumor cells of the primary and metastatic tumors were collected by laser microdissection, and oligonucleotide microarray analysis of the irradiated primary tumors and the metastatic tumors were all performed in comparison to the non-irradiated primary tumor by two-color methods.
