Imidazopurinones are markers of physiological genomic damage linked to DNA instability and glyoxalase 1-associated tumour multidrug resistance.

ABSTRACT: Glyoxal and methylglyoxal are reactive dicarbonyl metabolites formed and metabolized in physiological systems. Increased exposure to these dicarbonyls is linked to mutagenesis and cytotoxicity and enhanced dicarbonyl metabolism by overexpression of glyoxalase 1 is linked to tumour multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy. We report herein that glycation of DNA by glyoxal and methylglyoxal produces a quantitatively important class of nucleotide adduct in physiological systems-imidazopurinones. The adduct derived from methylglyoxal-3-(2'-deoxyribosyl)-6,7-dihydro-6,7-dihydroxy-6/7-methylimidazo-[2,3-b]purine-9(8)one isomers-was the major quantitative adduct detected in mononuclear leukocytes in vivo and tumour cell lines in vitro. It was linked to frequency of DNA strand breaks and increased markedly during apoptosis induced by a cell permeable glyoxalase 1 inhibitor. Unexpectedly, the DNA content of methylglyoxal-derived imidazopurinone and oxidative marker 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine were increased moderately in glyoxalase 1-linked multidrug resistant tumour cell lines. Together these findings suggest that imidazopurinones are a major type of endogenous DNA damage and glyoxalase 1 overexpression in tumour cells strives to counter increased imidazopurinone formation in tumour cells likely linked to their high glycolytic activity.

Project description:BackgroundTumor glycolysis is a target for cancer chemotherapy. Methylglyoxal (MG) is a reactive metabolite formed mainly as a by-product in anaerobic glycolysis, metabolized by glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) of the glyoxalase system. We investigated the role of MG and Glo1 in cancer chemotherapy related in multidrug resistance (MDR).MethodsHuman Glo1 was overexpressed in HEK293 cells and the effect on anticancer drug potency, drug-induced increase in MG and mechanism of cytotoxicity characterized. Drug-induced increased MG and the mechanisms driving it were investigated and the proteomic response to MG-induced cytotoxicity explored by high mass resolution proteomics of cytoplasmic and other subcellular protein extracts. Glo1 expression data of 1,040 human tumor cell lines and 7,489 tumors were examined for functional correlates and impact of cancer patient survival.ResultsOverexpression of Glo1 decreased cytotoxicity of antitumor drugs, impairing antiproliferative activity of alkylating agents, topoisomerase inhibitors, antitubulins, and antimetabolites. Antitumor drugs increased MG to cytotoxic levels which contributed to the cytotoxic, antiproliferative mechanism of action, consistent with Glo1-mediated MDR. This was linked to off-target effects of drugs on glycolysis and was potentiated in hypoxia. MG activated the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, with decrease of mitochondrial and spliceosomal proteins. Spliceosomal proteins were targets of MG modification. Spliceosomal gene expression correlated positively with Glo1 in human tumor cell lines and tumors. In clinical chemotherapy of breast cancer, increased expression of Glo1 was associated with decreased patient survival, with hazard ratio (HR) = 1.82 (logrank p < 0.001, n = 683) where upper quartile survival of patients was decreased by 64% with high Glo1 expression.ConclusionsWe conclude that MG-mediated cytotoxicity contributes to the cancer chemotherapeutic response and targets the spliceosome. High expression of Glo1 contributes to multidrug resistance by shielding the spliceosome from MG modification and decreasing survival in the chemotherapy of breast cancer. Adjunct chemotherapy with Glo1 inhibitor may improve treatment outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundGliomas are the most commonly-detected malignant tumors of the brain. They contain abundant long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are valuable cancer biomarkers. LncRNAs may be involved in genomic instability; however, their specific role and mechanism in gliomas remains unclear. LncRNAs that are related to genomic instability have not been reported in gliomas.MethodsThe transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were analyzed. The co-expression network of genomic instability-related lncRNAs and mRNA was established, and the model of genomic instability-related lncRNA was identified by univariate Cox regression and LASSO analyses. Based on the median risk score obtained in the training set, we divided the samples into high-risk and low-risk groups and proved the survival prediction ability of genomic instability-related lncRNA signatures. The results were verified in the external data set. Finally, a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay was performed to validate the signature.ResultsThe signatures of 17 lncRNAs (LINC01579, AL022344.1, AC025171.5, LINC01116, MIR155HG, AC131097.3, LINC00906, CYTOR, AC015540.1, SLC25A21.AS1, H19, AL133415.1, SNHG18, FOXD3.AS1, LINC02593, AL354919.2 and CRNDE) related to genomic instability were identified. In the internal data set and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) external data set, the low-risk group showed better survival than the high-risk group (P < 0.001). In addition, this feature was identified as an independent risk factor, showing its independent prognostic value with different clinical stratifications. The majority of patients in the low-risk group had isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations. The expression levels of these lncRNAs were significantly higher in glioblastoma cell lines than in normal cells.ConclusionsOur study shows that the signature of 17 lncRNAs related to genomic instability has prognostic value for gliomas and could provide a potential therapeutic method for glioblastoma.
