PARP-1 inhibition with or without ionizing radiation confers reactive oxygen species-mediated cytotoxicity preferentially to cancer cells with mutant TP53.

ABSTRACT: Biomarkers and mechanisms of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor-mediated cytotoxicity in tumor cells lacking a BRCA-mutant or BRCA-like phenotype are poorly defined. We sought to explore the utility of PARP-1 inhibitor (PARPi) treatment with/without ionizing radiation in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), which has poor therapeutic outcomes. We assessed the DNA damaging and cytotoxic effects of the PARPi olaparib in nine bladder cancer cell lines. Olaparib radiosensitized all cell lines with dose enhancement factors from 1.22 to 2.27. Radiosensitization was correlated with the induction of potentially lethal DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) but not with RAD51 foci formation. The ability of olaparib to radiosensitize MIBC cells was linked to the extent of cell kill achieved with the drug alone. Unexpectedly, increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting from PARPi treatment were the cause of DSB throughout the cell cycle in vitro and in vivo. ROS originated from mitochondria and were required for the radiosensitizing effects of olaparib. Consistent with the role of TP53 in ROS regulation, loss of p53 function enhanced radiosensitization by olaparib in non-isogenic and isogenic cell line models and was associated with increased PARP-1 expression in bladder cancer cell lines and tumors. Impairment of ATM in addition to p53 loss resulted in an even more pronounced radiosensitization. In conclusion, ROS suppression by PARP-1 in MIBC is a potential therapeutic target either for PARPi combined with radiation or drug alone treatment. The TP53 and ATM genes, commonly mutated in MIBC and other cancers, are candidate biomarkers of PARPi-mediated radiosensitization.

Project description:Glutamine metabolism provides energy to tumor cells and also produces reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive accumulation of ROS can damage mitochondria and eventually lead to cell death. xCT (SLC7A11) is responsible for the synthesis of glutathione in order to neutralize ROS. In addition, mitophagy can remove damaged mitochondria to keep the cell alive. Ionizing radiation kills tumor cells by causing the accumulation of ROS, which subsequently induces nuclear DNA damage. With this in mind, we explored the mechanism of intracellular ROS accumulation induced by ionizing radiation and hypothesized new methods to enhance the effect of radiotherapy. We used MCF-7 breast cancer cells and HCT116 colorectal cancer cells in our study. The above-mentioned cells were irradiated with different doses of X-rays or carbon ions. Clone formation assays were used to detect cell proliferation, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detected ATP, and glutathione (GSH) production, while the expression of proteins was detected by Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR analysis. The production of ROS was detected by flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence was used to track mitophagy-related processes. Finally, BALB/C tumor-bearing nude mice were irradiated with X-rays in order to further explore the protein expression found in tumors with the use of immunohistochemistry. Ionizing radiation increased the protein expressions of ASCT2, GLS, and GLUD in order to upregulate the glutamine metabolic flux in tumor cells. This caused an increase in ATP secretion. Meanwhile, ionizing radiation inhibited the expression of the xCT (SLC7A11) protein and reduced the generation of glutathione, leading to excessive accumulation of intracellular ROS. The mitophagy inhibitor, or knockdown Parkin gene, is able to enhance the ionizing radiation-induced ROS production and increase nucleus DNA damage. This combined treatment can significantly improve the killing effect of radiation on tumor cells. We concluded that ionizing radiation could upregulate the glutamine metabolic flux and enhance ROS accumulation in mitochondria. Ionizing radiation also decreased the SLC7A11 expression, resulting in reduced GSH generation. Therefore, inhibition of mitophagy can increase ionizing radiation-induced cell death.
