SIRT2 promotes BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization through deacetylation.

ABSTRACT: The breast cancer type I susceptibility protein (BRCA1) and BRCA1-associated RING domain protein I (BARD1) heterodimer promote genome integrity through pleiotropic functions, including DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR). BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization is required for their mutual stability, HR function, and role in tumor suppression; however, the upstream signaling events governing BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization are unclear. Here, we show that SIRT2, a sirtuin deacetylase and breast tumor suppressor, promotes BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization through deacetylation. SIRT2 complexes with BRCA1-BARD1 and deacetylates conserved lysines in the BARD1 RING domain, interfacing BRCA1, which promotes BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization and consequently BRCA1-BARD1 stability, nuclear retention, and localization to DNA damage sites, thus contributing to efficient HR. Our findings define a mechanism for regulation of BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization through SIRT2 deacetylation, elucidating a critical upstream signaling event directing BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimerization, which facilitates HR and tumor suppression, and delineating a role for SIRT2 in directing DSB repair by HR.

Project description:Cardiomyocyte inflammation followed by apoptosis and fibrosis is an important mediator for development and progression of heart failure. Activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), an important regulator of inflammation, causes the progression of cardiac hypertrophy and injury. However, the precise mechanism of TLR4-mediated adverse cardiac outcomes is still elusive. The present study was designed to find the role of TLR4 in cardiac fibrosis and apoptosis, and molecular mechanism thereof. Rats were treated with TLR4 agonist (LPS 12.5 μg/kg/day) through osmotic pump for 14 days. To simulate the condition in vitro, H9c2 cells were treated with LPS (1 μg/ml). Similarly, H9c2 cells were transfected with TLR4 and SIRT2 c-DNA clone for overexpression. Myocardial oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis and mitochondrial parameters were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Cardiac inflammation after LPS treatment was confirmed by increased TNF-α and IL-6 expression in rat heart. There was a marked increase in oxidative stress as observed by increased TBARS and decreased endogenous antioxidants (GSH and catalase), along with mitochondrial dysfunction as measured by mitochondrial complex activity in LPS-treated rat hearts. Histopathological examination showed the presence of cardiac fibrosis after LPS treatment. Protein expression of nuclear p53 and cleaved caspase-7/caspase-9 was significantly increased in LPS treated heart. Similar to in vivo study, nuclear translocation of p53, mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular apoptosis were observed in H9c2 cells treated with LPS. Our data also indicate that decreased expression of SIRT2 was associated with increased acetylation of p53 after LPS treatment. In conclusion, TLR4 activation in rats promotes cardiac inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and fibrosis. p53 and caspase 7/caspase 9 were found to play an important role in TLR4-mediated apoptosis. Our data suggest that, reducing TLR4 mediated fibrosis and apoptosis could be a novel approach in the treatment of heart failure, keeping in the view the major role played by TLR4 in cardiac inflammation.
