Hypoxia and human genome stability: downregulation of BRCA2 expression in breast cancer cell lines.

ABSTRACT: Previously, it has been reported that hypoxia causes increased mutagenesis and alteration in DNA repair mechanisms. In 2005, an interesting study showed that hypoxia-induced decreases in BRCA1 expression and the consequent suppression of homologous recombination may lead to genetic instability. However, nothing is yet known about the involvement of BRCA2 in hypoxic conditions in breast cancer. Initially, a cell proliferation assay allowed us to hypothesize that hypoxia could negatively regulate the breast cancer cell growth in short term in vitro studies. Subsequently, we analyzed gene expression in breast cancer cell lines exposed to hypoxic condition by microarray analysis. Interestingly, genes involved in DNA damage repair pathways such as mismatch repair, nucleotide excision repair, nonhomologous end-joining and homologous recombination repair were downregulated. In particular, we focused on the BRCA2 downregulation which was confirmed at mRNA and protein level. In addition, breast cancer cells were treated with dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG), a cell-permeable inhibitor of both proline and asparaginyl hydroxylases able to induce HIF-1 ? stabilization in normoxia, providing results comparable to those previously described. These findings may provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying genetic instability mediated by hypoxia and BRCA involvement in sporadic breast cancers.

Resveratrol increases BRCA1 and BRCA2 mRNA expression in breast tumour cell lines.

Project description:The phytochemical resveratrol, found in grapes, berries and peanuts, has been found to possess cancer chemopreventive effects by inhibiting diverse cellular events associated with tumour initiation, promotion and progression. Resveratrol is also a phyto-oestrogen, binds to and activates oestrogen receptors that regulate the transcription of oestrogen-responsive target genes such as the breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. We investigated the effects of resveratrol on BRCA1 and BRCA2 expression in human breast cancer cell lines (MCF7, HBL 100 and MDA-MB 231) using quantitative real-time RT-PCR, and by perfusion chromatography of the proteins. All cell lines were treated with 30 microM resveratrol. The expressions of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mRNAs were increased although no change in the expression of the proteins were found. These data indicate that resveratrol at 30 micro M can increase expression of genes involved in the aggressiveness of human breast tumour cell lines.

Genome-wide survey of interindividual differences of RNA stability in human lymphoblastoid cell lines.

Project description:The extent to which RNA stability differs between individuals and its contribution to the interindividual expression variation remain unknown. We conducted a genome-wide analysis of RNA stability in seven human HapMap lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) and analyzed the effect of DNA sequence variation on RNA half-life differences. Twenty-six percent of the expressed genes exhibited RNA half-life differences between LCLs at a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05, which accounted for ~ 37% of the gene expression differences between individuals. Nonsense polymorphisms were associated with reduced RNA half-lives. In genes presenting interindividual RNA half-life differences, higher coding GC3 contents (G and C percentages at the third-codon positions) were correlated with increased RNA half-life. Consistently, G and C alleles of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in protein coding sequences were associated with enhanced RNA stability. These results suggest widespread interindividual differences in RNA stability related to DNA sequence and composition variation.

BRCA2 coordinates the activities of cell-cycle kinases to promote genome stability.

Project description:Numerous human genome instability syndromes, including cancer, are closely associated with events arising from malfunction of the essential recombinase Rad51. However, little is known about how Rad51 is dynamically regulated in human cells. Here, we show that the breast cancer susceptibility protein BRCA2, a key Rad51 binding partner, coordinates the activity of the central cell-cycle drivers CDKs and Plk1 to promote Rad51-mediated genome stability control. The soluble nuclear fraction of BRCA2 binds Plk1 directly in a cell-cycle- and CDK-dependent manner and acts as a molecular platform to facilitate Plk1-mediated Rad51 phosphorylation. This phosphorylation is important for enhancing the association of Rad51 with stressed replication forks, which in turn protects the genomic integrity of proliferating human cells. This study reveals an elaborate but highly organized molecular interplay between Rad51 regulators and has significant implications for understanding tumorigenesis and therapeutic resistance in patients with BRCA2 deficiency.

Gene expression profiles of human breast cancer cell lines

Project description:Numerous epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-promoting transcription factors have been implicated in tumorigenesis or metastasis, as well as chemoresistance of cancer. However, the underlying mechanism mediating these processes is unclear. Here we report that Foxq1, a forkhead box-containing transcription factor and EMT-inducing gene, promotes stemness traits and chemoresistance in mammary epithelial cells. We identify Twist1, Zeb2, and PDGFRα and β as Foxq1 downstream targets using an expression profiling assay. Further studies reveal that PDGFRα and β can be directly regulated by Foxq1, or indirectly through Twist1. Knockdown of both PDGFRα and β shows more significant effects on reversing Foxq1-promoted oncogenesis in vitro and in vivo than knockdown by either PDGFRα or β alone. PDGFRβ, but not PDGFRα, shows potent effects in reversing Foxq1-promoted stemness traits. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition or gene silencing of PDGFRs sensitize mammary epithelial cells to chemotherapeutic agents in vitro and in vivo. These findings collectively indicate PDGFRs as critical mediators underlying breast cancer tumorigenesis and chemoresistance driven by EMT promoting genes, which have potential clinical implications for cancer therapy. The purpose of these experiments is to investigate the downstream targets of several transcriptional factors including Foxq1 and IRX5. Another purpose is to compare the expression pattern between basal-like breast cancer cells including MDA-MB231, SUM159 and SUM1315.
