XRCC1 Deficiency Drives Telomeric Chromatin Leakage, Inflammatory signaling and Senescence in Cancer Cells

ABSTRACT: Genome integrity is constantly challenged by oxidative DNA damage, which, if left unrepaired, can result in replication stress, chromosomal instability, and tumorigenesis. The base excision repair (BER) pathway is essential for resolving oxidative base lesions such as 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG). Among BER factors, APE1 and XRCC1 play critical roles not only in lesion repair but also in maintaining replication fork stability. Here, we investigate the cellular consequences of APE1 and XRCC1 deficiency in isogenic breast epithelial models (MCF10A and MCF7), under basal and oxidative stress conditions. We show that XRCC1 deficiency, more than APE1 depletion, leads to accumulation of unrepaired BER intermediates, increased DNA damage signaling, and formation of cytoplasmic chromatin fragments (CCFs) containing telomeric DNA. XRCC1-deficient cells also exhibit activation of the cGAS-STING pathway, inflammatory signaling, and features of senescence. Our findings identify XRCC1 as a central suppressor of oxidative stress-induced chromatin instability, cytosolic DNA accumulation, and immune signaling. These results suggest that targeting BER in carcer, particularly XRCC1, may offer a therapeutic avenue to trigger tumor-selective senescence and promote anti-tumor immunity.

Alkyladenine DNA glycosylase associates with transcription elongation to coordinate DNA repair with gene expression

Project description:Base excision repair (BER) initiated by alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG; aka MPG) is essential for removal of aberrantly methylated DNA bases. Genome instability and accumulation of aberrant bases accompany multiple diseases including cancer and neurological disorders. While BER is well studied on naked DNA, it is currently unclear how BER efficiently operates on chromatin. Here we show that AAG binds to chromatin and forms a complex with active RNA polymerase (pol) II. This occurs through direct binding to Elongator and results in co-regulation of gene expression. Interestingly, endogenous aberrantly methylated bases accumulate at 3’end of co-regulated genes, in regions enriched for Elongator, active RNA pol II, and BER enzymes AAG and APE1. Active transcription and functional Elongator are further vital to ensure efficient BER by promoting AAG and APE1 chromatin occupancy. Our findings indicate that AAG needs to associate with transcription elongation to maintain genome stability, concurrently coordinating repair with gene expression.

Monitoring of the spatial and temporal dynamics of BER/SSBR pathway proteins, including MYH, UNG2, MPG, NTH1 and NEIL1-3, during DNA replication, Batch 2

Project description:Base lesions in DNA can stall the replication machinery or induce mutations if bypassed. Consequently, lesions must be repaired before replication or in a post-replicative process to maintain genomic stability. Base excision repair (BER) is the main pathway for repair of base lesions, but how BER is organized during DNA replication is unclear. Here we refined the iPOND (isolation of proteins on nascent DNA) technique with targeted mass-spectrometry analysis, which enabled us to detect all proteins required for BER on nascent DNA and to monitor their spatiotemporal orchestration at replication forks. We demonstrate that XRCC1 and other BER/single-strand break repair (SSBR) proteins are enriched in replisomes in unstressed cells, supporting a cellular capacity of post-replicative BER/SSBR. Importantly, the DNA glycosylases MYH, UNG2, MPG, NTH1, NEIL1 and NEIL3 were also detected on nascent DNA. Thus our findings reveal that a broad spectrum of DNA base lesions are recognized and repaired by BER in a post-replicative process.

Lamin A/C promotes DNA base excision repair (human arrays)

Project description:The A-type lamins (lamin A/C), encoded by the Lmna gene, are important structural components of the nuclear lamina. Lmna mutations lead to degenerative disorders, including the premature aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). In addition, altered lamin A/C expression is found in various cancers. Reports indicate that lamin A/C plays a role in DNA double strand break repair, but a role in DNA base excision repair (BER) has not been described. We provide evidence for reduced BER efficiency in lamin A/C-depleted cells. The mechanism involves impairment of the APE1 and POLβ enzyme activities in BER. Also, Lmna null mouse fibroblasts displayed reduced expression of several core BER enzymes (PARP1, LIG3, and POLβ). Moreover, the robustness of APE1 and POLβ activities and the rate of BER were enhanced by lamin A/C-augmented poly(ADP-ribose) polymer formation (PARylation). Finally, we report that HGPS fibroblasts are defective in BER. Collectively, our results provide novel insights into the functional interplay between the nuclear lamina and cellular defenses against oxidative DNA damage, with implications for human cancer and aging.

Proteomic discovery of DEK and NUMA1 as new players in UV-induced DNA damage repair mechanisms

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA lesions threaten genomic stability and are associated with skin carcinogenesis. These lesions are primarily repaired by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. However, alternative repair mechanisms and regulators are emerging as critical contributors to managing UV lesions. Here, we used a click chemistry-based proteomic approach to identify DEK and NUMA1 as novel regulators of UV-induced DNA lesion repair. Depletion of DEK or NUMA1 resulted in delayed UV lesion repair and increased cellular UV sensitivity. This was accompanied by delayed recruitment of XPF to UV-damaged sites. Notably, abnormal accumulation of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) at UV lesions was observed in DEK- or NUMA1-depleted cells. This PCNA accumulation was not entirely dependent on NER, as it also involved contributions from apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1), a key protein in base excision repair (BER). Co-depletion experiments revealed an epistatic relationship between DEK or NUMA1 and APE1, but not with XPA, suggesting an impaired BER in DEK- or NUMA1-depleted cells, possibly due to excessive PCNA accumulation. Our findings strongly suggest that DEK and NUMA1 facilitate efficient UV lesion removal by promoting proper NER activity and regulating APE1-mediated long-patch BER, highlighting the collaborative roles of NER and BER in UV lesion repair.

Analysis of protein interaction partners of TDIF

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated as by-products of metabolism can induce stochastic damage to cellular components including DNA. A localised oxidative damage may arise during transcriptional activation at promoters of protein coding genes. ROS are generated during oxidative demethylation of histones and 5-methyl cytosine in promoter CpG clusters. ROS induced oxidation of DNA bases, mainly 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is normally resolved through a well characterised repair pathway where the oxidised base is first removed by components of base excision repair (BER) pathway, and the resulting breaks in the DNA backbone are subsequently repaired by the single-strand repair (SSBR) machinery that includes TDP1 and XRCC1. In this project we have identified the role of a putative mitotic assembly protein, TDIF in ROS induced single strand break repair. Using semi-quantitative LC-MS/MS and biochemical assays we show that the long isoform of TDIF specifically interacts with SSBR machinery after oxidative damage.

UHRF2 Commissions the Accomplishment of DNA Demethylation through Allosteric Activation by 5hmC and K33-linked Ubiquitination of XRCC1

Project description:The transition of oxidized 5-methylcytosine (5mC) intermediates into base excision repair (BER) pipeline to complete DNA demethylation remains enigmatic. We report here that UHRF2, the only paralog of UHRF1 in mammals that is neither able to maintain 5mC nor to rescue Uhrf1-/- phenotype, is physically and functionally associated with BER. UHRF2 is allosterically activated by 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and acts as a ubiquitin E3 ligase to catalyze K33-linked polyubiquitination of XRCC1, a core subunit of the BER complex. This nonproteolytic action stimulates the interaction of XRCC1 with the ubiquitin binding domain-bearing RAD23B, leading to the formation of the TDG-RAD23B-BER complex amenable to complete DNA demethylation. Integrative epigenomic analysis in mouse embryonic stem cells reveals that the Uhrf2-coordinated TDG-RAD23B-BER complex functionally links to the completion of DNA demethylation at promoters, and that during neuronal commitment, Uhrf2-associated and H3K4me1-marked latent enhancers undergo poised-to-active transition accompanied by H3K27ac acquisition. Accordingly, Uhrf2 ablation impairs DNA demethylation and abolishes neuronal differentiation. Together, these observations highlight the essentiality of 5hmC-switched UHRF2 E3 ligase activity in commissioning the accomplishment of active DNA demethylation.

Acetylation of p62 regulates base excision repair through interaction with APE1

Project description:p62, a well-known adaptor of autophagy, plays multiple functions in response to various stresses. Here, we report a function for p62 in base excision repair that is distinct from its known functions. Loss of p62 impairs BER capacity and increases the sensitivity of cancer cells to alkylating and oxidizing agents. In response to alkylative and oxidative damage, p62 is accumulated in the nucleus，acetylated by hMOF， deacetylated by SIRT7, and acetylated p62 is recruited to chromatin. The chromatin-enriched p62 directly interacts with APE1, a key enzyme of the BER pathway, and promotes its endonuclease activity, which facilitates BER and cell survival. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that p62 is a regulator of BER, and provide further rationale for targeting p62 as a cancer therapeutic strategy.
