Peroxiredoxin 5 Silencing Sensitizes Dopaminergic Neuronal Cells to Rotenone via DNA Damage-Triggered ATM/p53/PUMA Signaling-Mediated Apoptosis.

ABSTRACT: Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a family of thioredoxin peroxidases. Accumulating evidence suggests that changes in the expression of Prxs may be involved in neurodegenerative diseases pathology. However, the expression and function of Prxs in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear. Here, we showed that Prx5 was the most downregulated of the six Prx subtypes in dopaminergic (DA) neurons in rotenone-induced cellular and rat models of PD, suggesting possible roles in regulating their survival. Depletion of Prx5 sensitized SH-SY5Y DA neuronal cells to rotenone-induced apoptosis. The extent of mitochondrial membrane potential collapse, cytochrome c release, and caspase activation was increased by Prx5 loss. Furthermore, Prx5 knockdown enhanced the induction of PUMA by rotenone through a p53-dependent mechanism. Using RNA interference approaches, we demonstrated that the p53/PUMA signaling was essential for Prx5 silencing-exacerbated mitochondria-driven apoptosis. Additionally, downregulation of Prx5 augmented rotenone-induced DNA damage manifested as induction of phosphorylated histone H2AX (?-H2AX) and activation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase. The pharmacological inactivation of ATM revealed that ATM was integral to p53 activation by DNA damage. These findings provided a novel link between Prx5 and DNA damage-triggered ATM/p53/PUMA signaling in a rotenone-induced PD model. Thus, Prx5 might play an important role in protection against rotenone-induced DA neurodegeneration.

Project description:BackgroundOptimizing the safety and efficacy of standard chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin (CDDP) is of clinical relevance. Serum starvation in vitro and short-term food starvation in vivo both stress cells by the sudden depletion of paracrine growth stimulation.MethodsThe effects of serum starvation on CDDP toxicity were investigated in normal and cancer cells by assessing proliferation, cell cycle distribution and activation of DNA-damage response and of AMPK, and were compared to effects observed in cells grown in serum-containing medium. The effects of short-term food starvation on CDDP chemotherapy were assessed in xenografts-bearing mice and were compared to effects on tumor growth and/or regression determined in mice with no diet alteration.ResultsWe observed that serum starvation in vitro sensitizes cancer cells to CDDP while protecting normal cells. In detail, in normal cells, serum starvation resulted in a complete arrest of cellular proliferation, i.e. depletion of BrdU-incorporation during S-phase and accumulation of the cells in the G0/G1-phase of the cell cycle. Further analysis revealed that proliferation arrest in normal cells is due to p53/p21 activation, which is AMPK-dependent and ATM-independent. In cancer cells, serum starvation also decreased the fraction of S-phase cells but to a minor extent. In contrast to normal cells, serum starvation-induced p53 activation in cancer cells is both AMPK- and ATM-dependent. Combination of CDDP with serum starvation in vitro increased the activation of ATM/Chk2/p53 signaling pathway compared to either treatment alone resulting in an enhanced sensitization of cancer cells to CDDP. Finally, short-term food starvation dramatically increased the sensitivity of human tumor xenografts to cisplatin as indicated not only by a significant growth delay, but also by the induction of complete remission in 60% of the animals bearing mesothelioma xenografts, and in 40% of the animals with lung carcinoma xenografts.ConclusionIn normal cells, serum starvation in vitro induces a cell cycle arrest and protects from CDDP induced toxicity. In contrast, proliferation of cancer cells is only moderately reduced by serum starvation whereas CDDP toxicity is enhanced. The combination of CDDP treatment with short term food starvation improved outcome in vivo. Therefore, starvation has the potential to enhance the therapeutic index of cisplatin-based therapy.
