Nucleolar Stress-inducing Compounds Influence rDNA occupancy of RNA Polymerase I Transcription Machinery


ABSTRACT: Transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) by RNA Polymerase I (Pol I) is often upregulated in cancer to facilitate rapid cell growth and proliferation, and has emerged as a potential target for chemotherapeutic agents. BMH-21 and Pt(II) chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin are well documented as inhibitors of Pol I activity, however the underlying mechanisms for this inhibition are not completely understood. Here, we applied chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) techniques and immunofluorescence imaging to probe the influence of oxaliplatin and BMH-21 on Pol I machinery. We demonstrate oxaliplatin and BMH-21 induce early nucleolar stress leading to the formation of “nucleolar caps” containing Pol I and upstream binding factor (UBF) which corresponds with broad reductions in ribosomal DNA (rDNA) occupancy of Pol I. Distinct occupancy patterns for the two compounds are revealed in ChIP-seq experiments. Taken together, our findings suggest that in vivo, oxaliplatin does not induce Pol I inhibition via interrupting a specific step in Pol I transcription , while treatment with BMH-21 induced unique polymerase stalling at the promoter and terminator regions of the human ribosomal RNA gene.
