Low Dose Radiation Induces New Protein Synthesis that Promotes Cancer Radiotherapy Resistance_other data

ABSTRACT: Radiotherapy (RT) is a cornerstone of cancer treatment; however, its efficacy is frequently hampered by its adverse effects on normal tissues. By studying the effects of high-dose radiotherapy (HDRT) and low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT), we found that cancer cells adapt distinct responses to these doses to reduce cytotoxicity. Upon HDRT, cancer cells initiate a strong DNA damage response (DDR) to gain resistance through rapid production and/or activation of proteins for cell cycle arrest and DNA damage repair. In contrast, LDRT has a milder effect on the DDR and promotes resistance by triggering the synthesis of new proteins, including those essential for DNA repair and protein damage clearance. We showed that the inhibition of proteasome activity using a proteasome inhibitor (PI) result in the accumulation of damage to both proteins and DNA, leading to the profound death of cancer cells. Mechanistically, LDRT enhances protein synthesis through both increased mTOR signaling and 80S ribosome assembly. On the basis of these findings, we designed a chemoradiotherapy strategy that combines LDTR with PI to treat cancer while minimizing non-targeted toxicity.

Metabolic responses induced by DNA damage and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition in MCF-7 cells

Project description:Genomic instability is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Several chemotherapeutic drugs and radiotherapy induce DNA damage to prevent cancer cell replication. Cells in turn activate different DNA damage response (DDR) pathways to either repair the damage or induce cell death. These DDR pathways also elicit metabolic alterations which can play a significant role in the proper functioning of the cells. The understanding of these metabolic effects resulting from different types of DNA damage and repair mechanisms is currently lacking. In this study, we used NMR metabolomics to identify metabolic pathways which are altered in response to different DNA damaging agents. By comparing the metabolic responses in MCF-7 cells, we identified the activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in methyl methanesulfonate (MMS)-induced DNA damage. PARP activation led to a significant depletion of NAD+. PARP inhibition using veliparib (ABT-888) was able to successfully restore the NAD+ levels in MMS-treated cells. In addition, double strand break induction by MMS and veliparib exhibited similar metabolic responses as zeocin, suggesting an application of metabolomics to classify the types of DNA damage responses. This prediction was validated by studying the metabolic responses elicited by radiation. Our findings indicate that cancer cell metabolic responses depend on the type of DNA damage responses and can also be used to classify the type of DNA damage.

The molecular and cellular basis of divergent dose-dependent ionising radiation response

Project description:Cancer risk from medical exposure to low dose (LD) ionizing radiation (IR) is linearly extrapolated from high dose (HD) IR without sufficient mechanistic understanding and definitive evidence. The long-term health effects of radiotherapy for cancer are unclear as secondary tumours possibly arise from the ‘low-dose bath’ of normal tissue,. By the age of ~45 years, most (>90%) of the survivors of paediatric cancers develop secondary tumours from cancer therapy (including radiotherapy). Here, we show that LD and HD drive molecular and cellular responses to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA damage, respectively. We found dose-proportionality only for the phosphorylation events in the DNA damage response (DDR); signalling via PPP1R7 and global (de)phosphorylation events govern the G2/M checkpoint, whereas impaired DSB repair affected the DDR signalling duration rather than amplitudes. Contrastingly, LD specifically activated NRF2-regulated antioxidant defence, redox-sensitive ERK1/2/MAPK signalling, kinome/phosphatome, mitochondrial metabolic and glycolytic pathways, whereas HD induced replication stress signalling, p53 transcription and proliferation inhibition. Dose-proportional (10-200 mGy) chromosomal damage induction suggests non(slowly) repairable DNA breaks generation without a threshold, whereas LD-specific enhanced ROS-related responses induction implies survival of cells with residual DNA damage.

Tyrosine kinase c-Abl couples RNA polymerase II transcription to an RNA-dependent DNA damage response

Project description:Various modes of DNA repair counteract genotoxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to maintain genome stability. Recent findings suggest that the human DNA damage response (DDR) utilises damage-induced small RNA for efficient repair of DSBs. However, production and processing of RNA is poorly understood. Here we show that localised induction of DSBs triggers phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) on carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) residue tyrosine-1 in an Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex-dependent manner. CTD Tyr1-phosphorylated RNAPII synthetises, strand-specific, damage-responsive transcripts (DARTs). DART synthesis occurs via formation of transient RNA-DNA hybrid (R-loop) intermediates. Impaired R-loop formation attenuates DART synthesis, impairs recruitment of repair factors and delays the DDR. Collectively, we provide mechanistic insight in RNA-dependent DSB repair.

Expression data from human esophageal cancer cells

Project description:When esophageal cancer cells are exposed to a certain dose of radiation, a series of biological process changes, including DNA damage, DNA repair, apoptosis, cell cycle, repopulation, mitotic disasters, etc. These changes may determine the radiotherapy sensitivity to esophageal cancer, as well as recurrence and metastasis after radiotherapy. To clarify the changes in gene expression in esophageal cancer after radiotherapy, we used gene expression microarrays to screen for significant up-regulation and down-regulation of genes and to analyze associations with these biological processes.

p97/VCP inhibition radiosensitises cancer cells through excessive MRE11-dependent DNA end resection

Project description:Cancer cells are under constant proteotoxic stress and have an increased genomic instability. They therefore rely on upregulation of protein homeostasis and the DNA damage response (DDR) for survival. The ubiquitin-dependent ATPase p97 is a central component of the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system (UPS), involved in both protein homeostasis and DDR. p97 is overexpressed in many tumours and its overexpression correlates with poor prognosis in patients. To explore the concept of cancer cell killing by combined targeting of DDR and proteostasis, we induced DNA damage by ionising radiation (IR) and inhibited proteostasis by CB-5083, a specific small molecule inhibitor of p97, in bladder cancer cell lines and a mouse xenograft model. Combined therapy induced radiosensitivity and supressed xenograft tumour growth. Mechanistically, inactivation of the p97 ATPase activity results in proteotoxic accumulation of the nuclease MRE11 at the sites of IR-induced DNA lesions. This leads to excessive formation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), inhibition of HR, reliance on SSA for DSB repair and synthetic lethality after IR exposure in non-homologous end-joining-defective tumour cells such as those in muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma patients

YTHDF2 promotes DNA damage repair by positively regulating the histone methyltransferase SETDB1 in spermatogonia

Project description:we reported that in the absence of YTHDF2, spermatogonia showed significantly enhanced sensitivity to etoposide and promoted apoptosis, demonstrating that the importance of YTHDF2 in the etoposide-responsive DNA damage response (DDR). Multiple modifications involved in the DDR, some of which recruit repair factors to the sites of DNA damage. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) as a crucial component of the DNA damage repair system responding to DNA lesions. Meanwhile, H3K9me3 has been implicated in DDR, which provides site for DDR factors binding to DNA lesion. Importantly, ablation of Ythdf2 reduced SETDB1 and H3K9me3 levels, and SETDB1 overexpression qualitatively suppressed the DNA damage associated with YTHDF2 loss.

Simultaneous perturbation of multiple metabolic pathways by non-essential amino acid restriction is a potent cancer radio-sensitisation strategy

Project description:Cellular metabolism is an integral component of cellular adaptation to stress, consequently, metabolism plays a pivotal role in the resistance of cancer cells to a range of treatment modalities. Radiotherapy is used to treat approximately half of all cancer patients, however, most are either inherently radioresistant or acquire resistance over time. Effective radiotherapy relies on generating an overwhelming burden of DNA damage which triggers cell death. In response to radiotherapy cancer cells engage antioxidant and DNA repair mechanisms which mitigate and remove DNA damage, facilitating cancer cell survival. Given the reliance of these resistance mechanisms on amino acid metabolism we hypothesised that controlling the availability of the exogenous amino acids serine and glycine would be an effective strategy to radiosensitive cancer cells. Here we show that serine and glycine restriction sensitised a range of cancer cell lines, patient derived organoids and syngeneic mouse tumour models to radiotherapy. Comprehensive metabolomic analysis of central carbon metabolism revealed that amino acid restriction impacted not only glutathione and nucleotide synthesis but had an unexpected impact on the TCA cycle and antagonised a key cellular redox response to radiotherapy mediated by reductive carboxylation.

DNA damage and eIF4G1 in breast cancer cells reprogram translation for survival and DNA repair mRNAs

Project description:The cellular response to DNA damage is mediated through multiple pathways that regulate and coordinate DNA repair, cell cycle arrest and cell death. We show that the DNA damage response (DDR) induced by ionizing radiation (IR) is coordinated in breast cancer cells by selective mRNA translation mediated by high levels of translation initiation factor eIF4G1. Increased expression of eIF4G1, common in breast cancers, was found to selectively increase translation of mRNAs involved in cell survival and the DDR, preventing autophagy and apoptosis (Survivin, HIF1α, XIAP), promoting cell cycle arrest (GADD45a, p53, ATRIP, Chk1) and DNA repair (53BP1, BRCA1/2, PARP, Rfc2-5, ATM, MRE-11, others). Reduced expression of eIF4G1, but not its homolog eIF4G2, greatly sensitizes cells to DNA damage by IR, induces cell death by both apoptosis and autophagy, and significantly delays resolution of DNA damage foci with little reduction of overall protein synthesis. While some mRNAs selectively translated by higher levels of eIF4G1 were found to use internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated alternate translation, most do not. The latter group shows significantly reduced dependence on eIF4E for translation, facilitated by an enhanced requirement for eIF4G1. Increased expression of eIF4G1 therefore promotes specialized translation of survival, growth arrest and DDR mRNAs that are important in cell survival and DNA repair following genotoxic DNA damage. The purpose of this study was to identify mRNAs that are selectively increased in translation by high levels of the initiation factor eIF4G1, which occurs in many advanced human cancers, in response to DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation,

Human Fibroblast cells immortalised cells: Control vs DNA damage

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human fibroblast cells after DNA damage with Camptothecin or Etoposide or Neocarzinostatin Upon DNA damage, the DNA damage response (DDR) elicits a complex signaling cascade, which includes the induction of multiple non-coding RNA species. Recently long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to contribute to DDR by regulating gene expression. However, very little is known about the role that lncRNAs play in regulating DNA Repair. Using a genome-wide microarray screen we identified a novel ubiquitously expressed lncRNA, DDSR1 (DNA damage-sensitive RNA 1), which is induced upon DNA damage by several DNA double-strand break (DSB) agents. Two-condition experiment, Control vs. DNA damage human fibroblast cells. No Replicates, DNA damage was induced with either Camptothecin or Etoposide or Neocarzinostatin, Total RNA or Nuclear RNA was profiled.
