Project description:The tumor suppressor p53 plays a crucial role in cellular growth control inducing a plethora of cellular response pathways. The molecular mechanisms that discriminate between the distinct p53-responses towards different stress treatments have remained largely elusive. Here, we have analyzed the p53-regulated pathways induced by two chemotherapeutical treatments, Actinomycin D inducing growth arrest and Etoposide resulting in apoptosis. We found that the genome-wide p53-binding patterns are almost identical upon both treatments notwithstanding transcriptional differences that we observed in genome-wide transcriptome analysis. To assess the role of post-translational modifications in target gene choice and activation we investigated the extent of phosphorylation of Serine 46 of p53 bound to DNA (p53-pS46), a modification that has been linked to apoptosis-pathways, and the extent of phosphorylation of Serine 15 (p53-pS15), a general p53-activation mark. Interestingly, the overall extent of S46 phosphorylation of p53 bound to DNA is considerably higher in cells directed towards apoptosis while the degree of phosphorylation at S15 of DNA bound p53 remains highly similar upon both treatments. Moreover, our data suggest that, following different chemotherapeutical treatments, the extent of chromatin-associated p53 phosphorylated at S46 but not at pS15 is higher on certain apoptosis related target genes, including the BAX and PUMA genes. These data provide evidence that cell fate decisions are not made primarily on the level of general p53 DNA-binding, but possibly through post-translational modifications of chromatin bound p53.

Project description:Microarray analysis was carried out on human MOH cells exposed to fb-PMT (10e-6 M tetrac equivalent) for 24 h. fb-PMT significantly downregulated electron transport chain genes ATP5A1 (ATP synthase A1), ATP51, ATP5G2, COX6B1 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6B1), NDUFA8 (NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] FA8), NDUFV2 and other NDUF genes, SLC25A6 (solute carrier group 2), UCP2 ([mitochondrial] uncoupling protein 2) and COX5A. The NDUF and ATP genes are also relevant to control of oxidative phosphorylation and transcription. Six additional NDUF genes linked to oxidative phosphorylation were affected. Conclusions. fb-PMT caused downregulation of expression of a panel of genes involved in electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and cytoplasmic ribosomal protein generation in MOH cells. A key component of the anticancer activity of fb-PMT relates to disordering of ATP generation mechanisms in tumor cells.

Project description:Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) is an unresolved clinical problem. Epigenetic drugs belonging to the group of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) may combat CRC in rationally designed treatment schedules. Unfortunately, there is sparse evidence on molecular mechanisms and markers that determine cellular sensitivity to HDACi. Irinotecan is widely used to treat CRC and causes replication stress (RS) and DNA damage as topoisomerase-I inhibitor. We applied irinotecan and the class I HDACi entinostat (MS-275) to isogenic p53-positive and -negative CRC cells. Combinations of irinotecan and MS-275 evoke mitochondrial damage, caspase-mediated apoptosis, and RS-associated DNA damage synergistically and p53-dependently. Targeted mass spectrometry and immunoblot show that irinotecan induces phosphorylation, acetylation, and accumulation of p53 and its target genes. Addition of MS-275 augments the irinotecan-induced acetylation of C-terminal lysine residues of p53 but decreases its phosphorylation and p53 target gene induction. Furthermore, MS-275 increases the amount of acetylated p53 at mitochondria and dysregulates the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic BCL2 proteins in irinotecan-treated cells. Regarding DNA repair, we see that MS-275 represses the homologous recombination (HR) filament protein RAD51, which limits DNA damage and pro-apoptotic effects of irinotecan. These data suggest that key class I HDAC-dependent functions of p53 in cells with RS are linked to mitochondrial damage and a breakdown of HR. Most importantly, combinations of irinotecan plus MS-275 also kill short-term primary CRC cell cultures and organoids from CRC patients but spare organoids of adjacent matched normal tissue. Thus, irinotecan/HDACi treatment is a promising new approach for the therapy of p53-proficient tumors with clinically tractable inhibitors.

Project description:The p53 transcription factor is a master regulator of cellular stress responses restrained by repressors such as MDM2 and the phosphatase PPM1D. Activation of p53 with pharmacological inhibitors of its repressors is being tested in clinical trials for cancer therapy, but efficacy has been limited by poor induction of tumor cell death. We demonstrate that dual inhibition of MDM2 and PPM1D induces cell death in multiple cancer cell types via amplification of the p53 transcriptional program through the eIF2alpha -ATF4 pathway. PPM1D inhibition induces phosphorylation of eIF2alpha, ATF4 accumulation, and ATF4-dependent enhancement of p53-dependent transactivation upon MDM2 inhibition. Dual inhibition of p53 repressors depletes heme and induces HRI-dependent eIF2alpha phosphorylation. Pharmacological induction of eIF2alpha phosphorylation synergizes with MDM2 inhibition to induce cell death and halt tumor growth in mice. These results demonstrate that PPM1D inhibits both the p53 network and the integrated stress response controlled by eIF2alpha, with clear therapeutic implications.
