BRCA2 abrogation triggers innate immune responses potentiated by treatment with PARP inhibitors

ABSTRACT: Heterozygous germline mutations in BRCA2 predispose to breast and ovarian cancer. Contrary to non-cancerous cells, where BRCA2 deletion causes cell cycle arrest or cell death, BRCA2 inactivation in tumors is associated with uncontrolled cell proliferation. We set out to investigate this conundrum by exploring modalities of cell adaptation to loss of BRCA2 and focused on genome-wide transcriptome alterations. Human cells in which BRCA2 expression was inhibited using a doxycycline (DOX)-inducible shRNA for 4 or 28 days were subjected to RNA-seq analyses. Gene sets differentially expressed in BRCA2-deficient versus -proficient cells revealed a biphasic response to BRCA2 abrogation. The early, acute response consisted of downregulation of genes involved in cell cycle progression, DNA replication and repair and was associated with cell cycle arrest in G1. Surprisingly, the late, chronic response consisted exclusively of upregulation of innate immune response genes controlled by interferon. Activation of the cGAS-STING pathway detected in these cells further substantiated the concept that long-term BRCA2 abrogation triggers cell-intrinsic immune signaling. Importantly, we found that treatment with PARP inhibitors stimulated the interferon response in cells and tumors lacking BRCA2. We propose that PARP inhibitors suppress growth of BRCA2-deficient cells and tumors, in part, by activating interferon signaling.

Treatment with onvansertib, a specific PLK1 inhibitor, overcomes olaparib resistance in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma patient-derived xenografts

Project description:Inhibitors of PARP (PARPis) represent the first clinically approved anticancer agents targeting the DNA damage response. They have been approved as monotherapy and/or in combination and maintenance settings in different tumor types, including high-grade ovarian carcinomas. Their efficacy was first underlined in cells with functional inactivation of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and this strong preclinical evidence prompted their clinical development in tumors with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. It was later demonstrated that PARPis were very effective in tumors displaying deficiency in homologous recombination (HR) repair beyond BRCA1 and BRCA2 loss of function. In addition, evidence from randomized clinical trials supports their efficacy also in tumors with intact HR repair, although to a lesser extent.

Amplification of mutant BRCA2 gene confers resistance to PARP inhibitor

Project description:Breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2) deleterious mutations confer sensitivity to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition due to its critical role in DNA repair. PARP inhibitor Olaparib is now approved and several other PARP inhibitors are now in different stages of clinical trials. Development of resistance to PARP inhibitors limits their clinical utility. The mechanism of resistance remains not fully understood. Here we show that amplification of mutant BRCA2 confers PARP inhibitor resistance. The amplification of mutant BRCA2 gene copies correlates with an increase in mutant BRCA2 expression and an increase in the levels of its interacting proteins PALB2 and RAD51. In addition, homologous recombination mediated DNA repair is rescued in these cells as evidenced by the formation of RAD51 focus formation. The overexpressed mutant BRCA2 is essential for the observed PARP inhibitor resistance because knockdown of its expression is sufficient to re-sensitize these cells to PARP inhibition. Collectively, our results indicate a new mechanism of resistance to PARP inhibitor in BRCA2 mutant cancer cells

A complex of BRCA2 and PP2A-B56 is required for homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair

Project description:Mutations in the tumour suppressor BRCA2 are associated with predisposition to breast and ovarian cancers. BRCA2 has a central role in genome integrity by facilitating the repair of toxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination. BRCA2 acts by promoting RAD51 nucleofilament formation on resected single-stranded DNA, but how BRCA2 activity is regulated during HR is not fully understood. Here, we delineate a pathway where ATM and ATR kinases phosphorylate a highly conserved region in BRCA2 in response to DNA DSBs. These phosphorylations stimulate the binding of the protein phosphatase PP2A-B56 to BRCA2 through a conserved binding motif. We show that the phosphorylation-dependent formation of the BRCA2-PP2A-B56 complex is required for efficient RAD51 loading to sites of DNA damage and HR-mediated DNA repair. Moreover, we find that several cancer-associated mutations in BRCA2 deregulate the BRCA2-PP2A-B56 interaction and sensitize cells to PARP inhibition. Collectively, our work uncovers PP2A-B56 as a positive regulator of BRCA2 function in HR with clinical implications for BRCA2 and PP2A-B56 mutated cancers.

Functional annotation of genetic variants using locally haploid human pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Mutations in the BRCA2 gene are associated with sporadic and familial cancer, cause genomic instability, and sensitize cancer cells to PARP inhibition. We have developed a human primary cell system to annotate variants in BRCA2 and to test the variants’ sensitivities to PARP inhibition. We engineered locally haploid human pluripotent stem cells (loHAPs) that contain a localized deletion encompassing one copy of BRCA2. Next, we characterized essential regions of the BRCA2 gene to identify permissive and loss-of-function mutations in hPSCs and differentiated fibroblasts, using CRISPR-Cas9 editing of the functional allele. Additionally, we used gene editing to directly test the function of individual amino acids, including clinical variants of uncertain significance in BRCA2, and identify alleles that are sensitive PARP inhibitors, a standard of care in BRCA2-deficient cancers. Collectively, our analysis demonstrates that loHAPs can facilitate detailed structure-function analysis of genes and the rapid functional evaluation of clinically-observed mutations.

PARP inhibition elicits STING-dependent antitumor immune responses in Brca1-deficient ovarian cancer

Project description:To examine the immune responses that occur in Brca1-deficent tumors upon olaparib treatment, we performed gene expression analysis of a panel of 4604 cancer and immune-related genes in tumor tissues harvested from Brca1-deficient ovarian tumor-bearing mice after treatment with olaparib or vehicle. Transcriptome analysis showed that the expression of genes associated with immune response, T-cell activation and interferon-gamma(IFNgamma) response were markedly upregulated in tumors treated with olaparib as compared to vehicle. Our data reveal the antitumor immune response of PARP inhibition and demonstrate that it contributes to therapeutic efficacy of PARP inhibition in Brca1-deficient tumors.

IGR_Michels_PARP

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is often treated with cisplatin (CDDP). Here, we report that two distinct poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors exhibited a hyperadditive combination effect with CDDP to kill NSCLC cells. A majority of CDDP-resistant cell lines and clones exhibited constitutively increased PARP expression and enzymatic activity. Cells with hyperactivated PARP initiated a DNA damage response and the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in response to pharmacological PARP inhibition or PARP1-targeting siRNAs. Transcriptome analysis depicted an unsupervised hierarchical clustering of NSCLC cells and CDDP resistant counterparts regarding to their response to PARP inhibitors. PARP-overexpressing tumors displayed elevated levels of intracellular poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), which predicted the response to PARP inhibitors in vitro and in vivo more accurately than PARP expression itself. Thus, CDDP-resistant cancer cells develop a dependency to PARP, becoming susceptible to PARP inhibitor-induced apoptosis.

Mutations in homologous recombination genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 differentially affect the tumor microenvironment and response to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy

Project description:We report differential effects of mutations in genes of the homologous recombination (HR) pathway on response after ICB administration in mouse and human tumors, and show that truncating mutations in BRCA2 are associated with superior response to ICB compared to BRCA1-deficient tumors. Immunogenomic analyses demonstrated that mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 differentially modulate the tumor-immune microenvironment, with gene expression programs related to both adaptive and innate immune pathways enriched in BRCA2-deficient tumors. Single-cell RNA sequencing further revealed distinct T cell, NK, macrophage, and dendritic cell populations enriched in BRCA2 mutant tumors relative to BRCA1-deficient tumors.

Sister chromatid exchanges independent of canonical homologous recombination factors.

Project description:Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) are a product of joint DNA molecules resolution, and are considered to require homologous recombination (HR). Canonical HR factors BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51 were indeed essential for SCE induction in response to irradiation-induced DNA breaks. By contrast, replication-blocking agents, including PARP inhibitors, induced SCEs independently of BRCA1, BRCA2 or RAD51. HR-independent SCEs were associated with incomplete DNA replication, as evidenced by post-replicative single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) accumulation and enrichment of PARP inhibitor-induced SCEs at common fragile sites (CFSs). Importantly, PARP-induced DNA lesions were transmitted into mitosis, pointing towards SCEs originating from mitotic processing of underreplicated DNA. We found polymerase theta to be associated to mitotic DNA lesions, to be required for SCE formation and to prevent chromosome fragmentation upon PARP inhibition in HR-defective cells. Combined, our data show that replication-blocking agents lead to underreplicated DNA in mitosis, which is processed into SCEs independently of canonical HR factors.

The Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase inhibitor Veliparib and Radiation Cause Significant Cell Line Dependent Metabolic Changes in Breast Cancer Cells

Project description:Breast tumors are characterized into different subtypes based on their surface marker expression, which affects their prognosis and treatment. For example, triple negative breast cancer cells (ER-/PR-/Her2-) show reduced susceptibility towards radiotherapy and chemotherapeutic agents. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have shown promising results in clinical trials, both as single agents and in combination with other chemotherapeutics, in several subtypes of breast cancer patients. PARP1 is involved in DNA repair, apoptosis, and transcriptional regulation and an understanding of the effects of PARP inhibitors, specifically on metabolism, is currently lacking. Here, we have used NMR-based metabolomics to probe the cell line-specific effects of PARP inhibitor and radiation on metabolism in three distinct breast cancer cell lines. Our data reveal several cell line independent metabolic changes upon PARP inhibition, including an increase in taurine. Pathway enrichment and topology analysis identified that nitrogen metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis and taurine and hypotaurine metabolism were enriched after PARP inhibition in the three breast cancer cell lines. We observed that the majority of metabolic changes due to radiation as well as PARP inhibition were cell line dependent, highlighting the need to understand how these treatments affect cancer cell response via changes in metabolism. Finally, we observed that both PARP inhibition and radiation induced a similar metabolic response in the HCC1937 (BRCA mutant cell line), but not in MCF-7 and MDAMB231 cells, suggesting that radiation and PARP inhibition share similar interactions with metabolic pathways in BRCA mutant cells. Our study emphasizes the importance of differences in metabolic responses to cancer treatments in different subtypes of cancers.
