Increased BUB1B/BUBR1 expression contributes to aberrant DNA repair activity leading to resistance to DNA-damaging agents.

ABSTRACT: There has been accumulating evidence for the clinical benefit of chemoradiation therapy (CRT), whereas mechanisms in CRT-recurrent clones derived from the primary tumor are still elusive. Herein, we identified an aberrant BUB1B/BUBR1 expression in CRT-recurrent clones in bladder cancer (BC) by comprehensive proteomic analysis. CRT-recurrent BC cells exhibited a cell-cycle-independent upregulation of BUB1B/BUBR1 expression rendering an enhanced DNA repair activity in response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). With DNA repair analyses employing the CRISPR/cas9 system, we revealed that cells with aberrant BUB1B/BUBR1 expression dominantly exploit mutagenic nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). We further found that phosphorylated ATM interacts with BUB1B/BUBR1 after ionizing radiation (IR) treatment, and the resistance to DSBs by increased BUB1B/BUBR1 depends on the functional ATM. In vivo, tumor growth of CRT-resistant T24R cells was abrogated by ATM inhibition using AZD0156. A dataset analysis identified FOXM1 as a putative BUB1B/BUBR1-targeting transcription factor causing its increased expression. These data collectively suggest a redundant role of BUB1B/BUBR1 underlying mutagenic NHEJ in an ATM-dependent manner, aside from the canonical activity of BUB1B/BUBR1 on the G2/M checkpoint, and offer novel clues to overcome CRT resistance.

Telomeric Allelic Imbalance Indicates Defective DNA Repair and Sensitivity to DNA-Damaging Agents

Project description:DNA repair competency is one determinant of sensitivity to certain chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin. Cancer cells with intact DNA repair can avoid the accumulation of genome damage during growth and also can repair platinum-induced DNA damage. We sought genomic signatures indicative of defective DNA repair in cell lines and tumors and correlated these signatures to platinum sensitivity. The number of subchromosomal regions with allelic imbalance extending to the telomere (NtAI) predicted cisplatin sensitivity in vitro and pathologic response to preoperative cisplatin treatment in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In serous ovarian cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, higher levels of NtAI forecast a better initial response. We found an inverse relationship between BRCA1 expression and NtAI in sporadic TNBC and serous ovarian cancers without BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Thus, accumulation of telomeric allelic imbalance is a marker of platinum sensitivity and suggests impaired DNA repair. SNP data from 27 and 40 primary triple negative breast cancer tumor samples from two clinical trials treated with cisplatin and cisplatin + bevacizumab. Labeling, hybridization and data processing was performed by Affymetrix using 70k MIP arrays and 330k MIP arrays. In the cisplatin trial, matched normal samples based on blood from all patients and an additional three samples based on FFPE negative lymph nodes were used as references (30 normal references in total). In the cisplatin+bevacizumab trial, mathed normal samples based on blood from 10 patients were used as references.

Telomeric allelic imbalance indicates defective DNA repair and sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents.

Project description:UnlabelledDNA repair competency is one determinant of sensitivity to certain chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin. Cancer cells with intact DNA repair can avoid the accumulation of genome damage during growth and also can repair platinum-induced DNA damage. We sought genomic signatures indicative of defective DNA repair in cell lines and tumors and correlated these signatures to platinum sensitivity. The number of subchromosomal regions with allelic imbalance extending to the telomere (N(tAI)) predicted cisplatin sensitivity in vitro and pathologic response to preoperative cisplatin treatment in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In serous ovarian cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, higher levels of N(tAI) forecast a better initial response. We found an inverse relationship between BRCA1 expression and N(tAI) in sporadic TNBC and serous ovarian cancers without BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Thus, accumulation of telomeric allelic imbalance is a marker of platinum sensitivity and suggests impaired DNA repair.SignificanceMutations in BRCA genes cause defects in DNA repair that predict sensitivity to DNA damaging agents, including platinum; however, some patients without BRCA mutations also benefit from these agents. NtAI, a genomic measure of unfaithfully repaired DNA, may identify cancer patients likely to benefit from treatments targeting defective DNA repair.

Microtubule-targeting agents augment the toxicity of DNA-damaging agents by disrupting intracellular trafficking of DNA repair proteins.

Project description:The paradigm that microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) cause cell death via mitotic arrest applies to rapidly dividing cells but cannot explain MTA activity in slowly growing human cancers. Many preferred cancer regimens combine a MTA with a DNA-damaging agent (DDA). We hypothesized that MTAs synergize with DDAs by interfering with trafficking of DNA repair proteins on interphase microtubules. We investigated nine proteins involved in DNA repair: ATM, ATR, DNA-PK, Rad50, Mre11, p95/NBS1, p53, 53BP1, and p63. The proteins were sequestered in the cytoplasm by vincristine and paclitaxel but not by an aurora kinase inhibitor, colocalized with tubulin by confocal microscopy and coimmunoprecipitated with the microtubule motor dynein. Furthermore, adding MTAs to radiation, doxorubicin, or etoposide led to more sustained ?-H2AX levels. We conclude DNA damage-repair proteins traffic on microtubules and addition of MTAs sequesters them in the cytoplasm, explaining why MTA/DDA combinations are common anticancer regimens.

Requirement for BUB1B/BUBR1 in tumor progression of lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma is often discovered as metastatic disease with very poor prognosis. However, much remains unknown about the mechanisms of lung adenocarcinoma tumor progression. In this study we showed that knockdown of BUB1B/BUBR1, a critical mitotic checkpoint protein, significantly inhibited anchorage-independent growth of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. In allograft and tail vein mouse model studies, BUB1B suppression inhibited primary tumor growth and reduced metastasis to the lung and lymph nodes, resulting in prolonged survival in both tumor prevention and tumor intervention settings. Mechanistic studies revealed that BUB1B knockdown sensitized cells to anoikis. The N-terminal region and GLEBS domain of BUB1B were required for its functions in both anchorage-independent growth and anoikis resistance, whereas the kinase domain was less critical. Overexpression of BUB1B is associated with disease progression and poor survival in human lung adenocarcinoma patients. Collectively, these data reveal a novel function for BUB1B in mediating anchorage-independent survival and growth, thereby facilitating lung adenocarcinoma dissemination during metastasis. Thus, targeting BUB1B could provide potential therapeutic benefit in suppressing metastasis and prolonging survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients.

DNA damaging agents in ovarian cancer.

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is very sensitive to upfront chemotherapy. This condition is attributable to defects in the DNA damage repair system. Agents that damage DNA are the main drugs used for its treatment. Many EOC cells have DNA repair deficiencies that confer susceptibility to these agents. Platinum is the most important agent for first-line and also for relapses, together with other drugs that can be given as monotherapy or along with platinum or other drugs. Lately, the emerging role of PARP inhibitors has changed the landscape of opportunities for patients with EOC. All these strategies will be reviewed in this article.

Hsp90 induces increased genomic instability toward DNA-damaging agents by tuning down RAD53 transcription.

Project description:It is well documented that elevated body temperature causes tumors to regress upon radiotherapy. However, how hyperthermia induces DNA damage sensitivity is not clear. We show that a transient heat shock and particularly the concomitant induction of Hsp90 lead to increased genomic instability under DNA-damaging conditions. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model eukaryote, we demonstrate that elevated levels of Hsp90 attenuate efficient DNA damage signaling and dictate preferential use of the potentially mutagenic double-strand break repair pathway. We show that under normal physiological conditions, Hsp90 negatively regulates RAD53 transcription to suppress DNA damage checkpoint activation. However, under DNA damaging conditions, RAD53 is derepressed, and the increased level of Rad53p triggers an efficient DNA damage response. A higher abundance of Hsp90 causes increased transcriptional repression on RAD53 in a dose-dependent manner, which could not be fully derepressed even in the presence of DNA damage. Accordingly, cells behave like a rad53 loss-of-function mutant and show reduced NHEJ efficiency, with a drastic failure to up-regulate RAD51 expression and manifestly faster accumulation of CLN1 and CLN2 in DNA-damaged G1, cells leading to premature release from checkpoint arrest. We further demonstrate that Rad53 overexpression is able to rescue all of the aforementioned deleterious effects caused by Hsp90 overproduction.

A germline FANCA alteration that is associated with increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents.

Project description:Defects in genes involved in DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway are emerging as novel biomarkers and targets for new prostate cancer drug therapies. A previous report revealed an association between an exceptional response to cisplatin treatment and a somatic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of FANCA in a patient with metastatic prostate cancer who also harbored a germline FANCA variant (S1088F). Although germline FANCA mutations are the most frequent alterations in patients with Fanconi anemia, germline alterations are less common in prostate cancer. We hypothesized that the germline S1088F FANCA variant in combination with FANCA LOH was deleterious for FANCA function and contributed to the patient's exceptional response to cisplatin. We show that although it properly localizes to the nucleus, the S1088F FANCA mutant protein disrupts the FANC protein complex resulting in increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. Because molecular stratification is emerging as a strategy for treating men with metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer harboring specific DDR gene defects, our findings suggest that more biomarker studies are needed to better define clinically relevant germline and somatic alterations.

Increased telomere length and hypersensitivity to DNA damaging agents in an Arabidopsis KU70 mutant.

Project description:We have identified a putative homologue of the KU70 gene (AtKU70) from Arabidopsis thaliana. In order to study its function in plants we have isolated an A.thaliana line that contains a T-DNA inserted into AtKU70. Plants homozygous for this insertion appear normal and are fertile. In other organisms the KU70 gene has been shown to play a role in the repair of DNA damage induced by ionising radiation (IR) and by radiomimetic chemicals such as methylmethane sulfonate (MMS). We show that AtKU70(-/-) plants are hypersensitive to IR and MMS, and thus the AtKU70 gene plays a similar role in DNA repair in plants as in other organisms. The KU70 gene also plays a role in maintaining telomere length. Yeast and mammalian cells deficient for Ku70 have shortened telomeres. When we studied the telomeres in the AtKU70(-/-) plants we found unexpectedly that they were significantly longer (>30 kb) than was found in wild-type plants (2-4 kb). We propose several hypotheses to explain this telomere lengthening in the AtKU70(-/-) plants.

Selinexor reduces the expression of DNA damage repair proteins and sensitizes cancer cells to DNA damaging agents.

Project description:The goal of this study was to examine the effects of selinexor, an inhibitor of exportin-1 mediated nuclear export, on DNA damage repair and to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of selinexor in combination with DNA damaging agents (DDAs) in cancer cells.Selinexor reduced the expression of DNA damage repair (DDR) proteins. This did not induce significant DNA damage in tested cell lines. Inhibition of DDR protein expression resulted in enhanced cancer cell death when cells were pretreated with DDAs. In contrast, enhanced cell death was not detected in cells that were pretreated with selinexor then with DDAs. In vivo, single-agent selinexor, docetaxel, or cisplatin treatment resulted in 66.7%, 51.5%, and 26.6% tumor growth inhibition (TGI), respectively, in an MDA-MB-231 xenograft model. Consequently, combination treatment with docetaxel or cisplatin followed by selinexor in vivo resulted in 93.9% and 103.4% TGI, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining and immunoblot analysis of tumor sections confirmed reduced expression of DDR proteins.Selinexor treatment inhibited DDR mechanisms in cancer cell lines and therefore potentiated DNA damage-based therapy. The sequential combination of DDAs followed by selinexor increased cancer cell death. This combination is superior to each individual therapy and has a mechanistic rationale as a novel anticancer strategy.Cancer cells treated with selinexor ± DDAs were analyzed using reverse phase protein arrays, immunoblots, quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence. Mice bearing MDA-MB-231 tumors were treated with subtherapeutic doses of selinexor, cisplatin, docetaxel and selinexor in combination with either cisplatin or docetaxel. Tumor growth was evaluated for 25 days.
