Loss of CMTM6 promotes DNA damage-induced cellular senescence and antitumor immunity.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have revealed that chemokine-like factor-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family member 6 (CMTM6) promotes tumor progression and modulates tumor immunity by regulating programmed death-ligand 1 stability; however, its intrinsic functions and regulatory mechanisms in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain poorly understood. Here, we show that CMTM6 is upregulated in ccRCC tissues and is strongly associated with advanced tumor grades, early metastases, and a worse prognosis. CMTM6 depletion significantly impaired the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC cells in vitro and in xenograft mouse models in vivo. In addition, targeting CMTM6 promotes anti-tumor immunity, represented by increased infiltration of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in syngeneic graft mouse models. Further research revealed that loss of CMTM6 triggered aberrant activation of DNA damage response, resulting in micronucleus formation and G2/M checkpoint arrest, finally leading to cellular senescence with robust upregulation of numerous chemokines and cytokines. Our findings show for the first time the novel role of CMTM6 in maintaining cancer genome stability and facilitating tumor-mediated immunosuppression, linking DNA damage signaling to the secretion of inflammatory factors. Targeting CMTM6 may improve the treatment of patients with advanced ccRCC.

Naked mole rats can undergo developmental, oncogene-induced and DNA damage-induced cellular senescence.

Project description:Cellular senescence is an important anticancer mechanism that restricts proliferation of damaged or premalignant cells. Cellular senescence also plays an important role in tissue remodeling during development. However, there is a trade-off associated with cellular senescence as senescent cells contribute to aging pathologies. The naked mole rat (NMR) (Heterocephalus glaber) is the longest-lived rodent that is resistant to a variety of age-related diseases. Remarkably, NMRs do not show aging phenotypes until very late stages of their lives. Here, we tested whether NMR cells undergo cellular senescence. We report that the NMR displays developmentally programmed cellular senescence in multiple tissues, including nail bed, skin dermis, hair follicle, and nasopharyngeal cavity. NMR cells also underwent cellular senescence when transfected with oncogenic Ras. In addition, cellular senescence was detected in NMR embryonic and skin fibroblasts subjected to ?-irradiation (IR). However, NMR cells required a higher dose of IR for induction of cellular senescence, and NMR fibroblasts were resistant to IR-induced apoptosis. Gene expression analyses of senescence-related changes demonstrated that, similar to mice, NMR cells up-regulated senescence-associated secretory phenotype genes but displayed more profound down-regulation of DNA metabolism, transcription, and translation than mouse cells. We conclude that the NMR displays the same types of cellular senescence found in a short-lived rodent.

Loss of DNA polymerase ? induces cellular senescence.

Project description:We aim to establish that accelerated aging and premature cellular senescence seen in individuals with Down syndrome is related to reduced DNA polymerase?. We report here that primary fibroblasts from Down syndrome individuals exhibit greater SA-?-gal staining (fourfold increase, P?<?0.001), increased p16 transcript abundance (threefold increase, P?<?0.01), and reduced HMGB1 nuclear localization (1.5-fold lower, P?<?0.01). We also find that DNA polymerase ? expression is significantly reduced in Down syndrome primary fibroblasts (53% decline, P?<?0.01). To evaluate whether DNA polymerase ? might be causative in senescence induction, we evaluated the impact of murine DNA polymerase ? nullizygosity on senescence. We find that unexposed DNA polymerase ? -null primary fibroblasts exhibit a robust increase in the number of senescent cells compared to wild-type (11-fold, P?<?0.001), demonstrating that loss DNA polymerase ? is sufficient to induce senescence. We also see an additional increase in response to hydroxyurea (threefold greater than WT-HU, P?<?0.05). These data demonstrate that loss of DNA polymerase ? is sufficient to induce senescence. Additionally, we report a significant induction in spontaneous DNA double strand breaks in DNA polymerase ? null MEFs (fivefold increase from wild-type, P?<?0.0001). Our findings strongly suggest that DNA polymerase ? is causative in senescence induction, reasonably pointing to DNA polymerase ? as a likely factor driving the premature senescence in Down syndrome.

DNA damage-induced cellular senescence is sufficient to suppress tumorigenesis: a mouse model.

Project description:Tumor suppressor p53-dependent apoptosis is critical in suppressing tumorigenesis. Previously, we reported that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) at the V(D)J recombination loci induced genomic instability in the developing lymphocytes of nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ)-deficient, p53-deficient mice, which led to rapid lymphomagenesis. To test the ability of p53-dependent cell cycle arrest to suppress tumorigenesis in the absence of apoptosis in vivo, we crossbred NHEJ-deficient mice into a mutant p53R172P background; these mice have defects in apoptosis induction, but not cell cycle arrest. These double-mutant mice survived longer than NHEJ/p53 double-null mice and, remarkably, were completely tumor free. We detected accumulation of aberrant V(D)J recombination-related DSBs at the T cell receptor (TCR) locus, and high expression levels of both mutant p53 and cell cycle checkpoint protein p21, but not the apoptotic protein p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis. In addition, a substantial number of senescent cells were observed among both thymocytes and bone marrow cells. Cytogenetic studies revealed euploidy and limited chromosomal breaks in these lymphoid cells. The results indicate that precursor lymphocytes, which normally possess a high proliferation potential, are able to withdraw from the cell cycle and undergo senescence in response to the persistence of DSBs in a p53-p21-dependent pathway; this is sufficient to inhibit oncogenic chromosomal abnormality and suppress tumorigenesis.

DNA-damage-induced type I interferon promotes senescence and inhibits stem cell function.

Project description:Expression of type I interferons (IFNs) can be induced by DNA-damaging agents, but the mechanisms and significance of this regulation are not completely understood. We found that the transcription factor IRF3, activated in an ATM-IKK?/?-dependent manner, stimulates cell-autonomous IFN-? expression in response to double-stranded DNA breaks. Cells and tissues with accumulating DNA damage produce endogenous IFN-? and stimulate IFN signaling in vitro and in vivo. In turn, IFN acts to amplify DNA-damage responses, activate the p53 pathway, promote senescence, and inhibit stem cell function in response to telomere shortening. Inactivation of the IFN pathway abrogates the development of diverse progeric phenotypes and extends the lifespan of Terc knockout mice. These data identify DNA-damage-response-induced IFN signaling as a critical mechanism that links accumulating DNA damage with senescence and premature aging.

Replication stress-induced endogenous DNA damage drives cellular senescence induced by a sub-lethal oxidative stress.

Project description:Although oxidative stress has been shown to induce senescence and replication stress independently, no study has implicated unresolved replication stress as the driver for cellular senescence in response to oxidative stress. Using cells exposed to increasing concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, we show that sub-lethal amount of exogenous hydrogen peroxide induces two waves of DNA damage. The first wave is rapid and transient while the second wave coincides with the cells transition from the S to the G2/M phases of cell cycle. Subsequently, cells enter growth arrest accompanied by the acquisition of senescence-associated characteristics. Furthermore, a p53-dependent decrease in Rad51, which is associated with the formation of DNA segments with chromatin alterations reinforcing senescence, and Lamin B1 that is involved in chromatin remodeling, is observed during the establishment of the senescent phenotype. On the other hand, increase in senescence associated-?-Gal activity, a classical marker of senescence and HMGA2, a marker of the senescence-associated heterochromatin foci, is shown to be independent of p53. Together, our findings implicate replication stress-induced endogenous DNA damage as the driver for the establishment of cellular senescence upon sub-lethal oxidative stress, and implicate the role of p53 in some but not all hallmarks of the senescent phenotype.

SIRT6 Depletion Suppresses Tumor Growth by Promoting Cellular Senescence Induced by DNA Damage in HCC.

Project description:The role of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) as a tumor suppressor or oncogene in liver cancer remains controversial. Thus, we identified the specific role of SIRT6 in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). SIRT6 expression was significantly higher in HCC cell lines and HCC tissues from 138 patients than in an immortalized hepatocyte cell line, THLE-2 and non-tumor tissues, respectively. SIRT6 knockdown by shRNA suppressed the growth of HCC cells and inhibited HCC tumor growth in vivo. In addition, SIRT6 silencing significantly prevented the growth of HCC cell lines by inducing cellular senescence in the p16/Rb- and p53/p21-pathway independent manners. Microarray analysis revealed that the expression of genes involved in nucleosome assembly was apparently altered in SIRT6-depleted Hep3B cells. SIRT6 knockdown promoted G2/M phase arrest and downregulation of genes encoding histone variants associated with nucleosome assembly, which could be attributed to DNA damage. Taken together, our findings suggest that SIRT6 acts as a tumor promoter by preventing DNA damage and cellular senescence, indicating that SIRT6 represents a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC.

Both Complexity and Location of DNA Damage Contribute to Cellular Senescence Induced by Ionizing Radiation.

Project description:Persistent DNA damage is considered as a main cause of cellular senescence induced by ionizing radiation. However, the molecular bases of the DNA damage and their contribution to cellular senescence are not completely clear. In this study, we found that both heavy ions and X-rays induced senescence in human uveal melanoma 92-1 cells. By measuring senescence associated-β-galactosidase and cell proliferation, we identified that heavy ions were more effective at inducing senescence than X-rays. We observed less efficient repair when DNA damage was induced by heavy ions compared with X-rays and most of the irreparable damage was complex of single strand breaks and double strand breaks, while DNA damage induced by X-rays was mostly repaired in 24 hours and the remained damage was preferentially associated with telomeric DNA. Our results suggest that DNA damage induced by heavy ion is often complex and difficult to repair, thus presents as persistent DNA damage and pushes the cell into senescence. In contrast, persistent DNA damage induced by X-rays is preferentially associated with telomeric DNA and the telomere-favored persistent DNA damage contributes to X-rays induced cellular senescence. These findings provide new insight into the understanding of high relative biological effectiveness of heavy ions relevant to cancer therapy and space radiation research.

Residual Cdk1/2 activity after DNA damage promotes senescence.

Project description:In response to DNA damage, a cell can be forced to permanently exit the cell cycle and become senescent. Senescence provides an early barrier against tumor development by preventing proliferation of cells with damaged DNA. By studying single cells, we show that Cdk activity persists after DNA damage until terminal cell cycle exit. This low level of Cdk activity not only allows cell cycle progression, but also promotes cell cycle exit at a decision point in G2 phase. We find that residual Cdk1/2 activity is required for efficient p21 production, allowing for nuclear sequestration of Cyclin B1, subsequent APC/CCdh1 -dependent degradation of mitotic inducers and induction of senescence. We suggest that the same activity that triggers mitosis in an unperturbed cell cycle enforces senescence in the presence of DNA damage, ensuring a robust response when most needed.

Targeting DNA Damage Response Promotes Antitumor Immunity through STING-Mediated T-cell Activation in Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Project description:Despite recent advances in the use of immunotherapy, only a minority of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) respond to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Here, we show that targeting the DNA damage response (DDR) proteins PARP and checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) significantly increased protein and surface expression of PD-L1. PARP or CHK1 inhibition remarkably potentiated the antitumor effect of PD-L1 blockade and augmented cytotoxic T-cell infiltration in multiple immunocompetent SCLC in vivo models. CD8+ T-cell depletion reversed the antitumor effect, demonstrating the role of CD8+ T cells in combined DDR-PD-L1 blockade in SCLC. We further demonstrate that DDR inhibition activated the STING/TBK1/IRF3 innate immune pathway, leading to increased levels of chemokines such as CXCL10 and CCL5 that induced activation and function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Knockdown of cGAS and STING successfully reversed the antitumor effect of combined inhibition of DDR and PD-L1. Our results define previously unrecognized innate immune pathway-mediated immunomodulatory functions of DDR proteins and provide a rationale for combining PARP/CHK1 inhibitors and immunotherapies in SCLC. SIGNIFICANCE: Our results define previously unrecognized immunomodulatory functions of DDR inhibitors and suggest that adding PARP or CHK1 inhibitors to ICB may enhance treatment efficacy in patients with SCLC. Furthermore, our study supports a role of innate immune STING pathway in DDR-mediated antitumor immunity in SCLC.See related commentary by Hiatt and MacPherson, p. 584.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 565.

Identification of a DNA Damage-Induced Alternative Splicing Pathway That Regulates p53 and Cellular Senescence Markers.

Project description:Cellular responses to DNA damage are critical determinants of cancer development and aging-associated pathogenesis. Here, we identify and characterize a DNA-damage response (DDR) pathway that regulates alternative splicing of numerous gene products, including the human tumor suppressor TP53, and controls DNA damage-induced cellular senescence. In brief, ionizing radiation (IR) inhibits the activity of SMG1, a phosphoinositide-3-kinase-like kinase family member, reducing the binding of SMG1 to a specific region near exon 9 of p53 precursor mRNA and promoting the binding of ribosomal protein L26 (RPL26) to p53 pre-mRNA. RPL26, in turn, is required for the recruitment of the serine/arginine-rich splicing factor SRSF7 to p53 pre-mRNA and generation of alternatively spliced p53? RNA. Disruption of this pathway via selective knockout of p53? by CRISPR/Cas9 or downregulation of pathway constituents significantly reduces IR-induced senescence markers, and cells lacking p53? expression fail to transcriptionally repress negative regulators of cellular senescence and aging.Significance: We identified a new component of the DDR pathway that regulates alternative splicing of messenger RNAs, including human TP53 mRNA. Modulation of this regulatory pathway affects DNA-damage induction of cellular senescence markers.
