Radiation-induced epigenetic DNA methylation modification of radiation-response pathways

ABSTRACT: Treatment of tumors with ionizing radiation for cancer therapy induces biological responses that include changes in cell cycle, activation of DNA repair mechanisms, and induction of apoptosis or senescence programs. What is not known is whether ionizing radiation induces an epigenetic DNA methylation response or whether epigenetic changes occur in genes in pathways classically associated with the radiation response. We exposed breast cancer cells to 0, 2, or 6 Gy and determined global DNA methylation at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-irradiation. We found that radiation treatment resulted in a DNA methylation response and that cell cycle, DNA repair, and apoptosis pathways were enriched in genes are were differentially-methylated.

Tardigrades dramatically upregulate DNA repair pathway genes in response to ionizing radiation

Project description:Tardigrades can survive remarkable doses of ionizing radiation, up to about 1000 times the lethal dose for humans. How they do so is incompletely understood. We found that the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris suffers DNA damage upon gamma irradiation, but damage is repaired. We show that tardigrades have a specific and robust response to ionizing radiation: irradiation induces a rapid, dramatic upregulation of many DNA repair genes. By expressing tardigrade genes in bacteria, we validate that increased expression of some repair genes can suffice to increase radiation tolerance. We show that at least one such gene is necessary for tardigrade radiation tolerance. Tardigrades’ ability to sense ionizing radiation and massively upregulate specific DNA repair pathway genes may represent an evolved solution for maintaining DNA integrity.

The tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris dramatically upregulates DNA repair pathway genes in response to ionizing radiation [IR_RNA-seq]

Project description:Tardigrades can survive remarkable doses of ionizing radiation, up to about 1000 times the lethal dose for humans. How they do so is incompletely understood. We found that the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris suffers DNA damage upon gamma irradiation, but damage is repaired. We show that this tardigrade has a specific and robust response to ionizing radiation: irradiation induces a rapid upregulation of many DNA repair genes. This upregulation is unexpectedly extreme, making some DNA repair transcripts among the most abundant transcripts in the animal. By expressing tardigrade genes in bacteria, we validate that increased expression of some repair genes can suffice to increase radiation tolerance. We show that at least one such gene is important for tardigrade radiation tolerance. We hypothesize that tardigrades’ ability to sense ionizing radiation and massively upregulate specific DNA repair pathway genes may represent an evolved solution for maintaining DNA integrity.

Ionizing radiation induces transgenerational effects of DNA methylation in zebrafish

Project description:Ionizing radiation is known to cause DNA damage, yet the mechanisms underlying potential transgenerational effects of exposure have been scarcely studied. Previously, we observed effects in offspring of zebrafish exposed to gamma radiation during gametogenesis. Here, we hypothesize that these effects are accompanied by changes of DNA methylation possibly inherited by subsequent generations. We assessed DNA methylation in F1 embryos (5.5 hours post fertilization) with whole genome bisulfite sequencing following parental exposure to 8.7 mGy/h for 27 days and found 5658 differentially methylated regions (DMRs). DMRs were predominantly located at known regulatory regions, such as gene promoters and enhancers. Pathway analysis indicated the involvement of DMRs related to similar pathways found with gene expression analysis, such as development, apoptosis and cancers, which could be linked to previous observed developmental defects and genomic instability in the offspring. Follow up of 19 F1 DMRs in F2 and F3 embryos revealed persistent effects up to the F3 generation at 5 regions. These results indicate that ionizing radiation related effects in offspring can be linked to DNA methylation changes that partly can persist over generations. Monitoring DNA methylation could serve as a biomarker to provide an indication of ancestral exposures to ionizing radiation.

Real-time PCR array study for apoptosis genes after radiation exposure in mitochondrial mutant and normal human cells

Project description:In double-strand DNA damage repair, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is more error prone than homologous recombination repair (HRR), indicating that the relative prevalence of NHEJ may lead to more incorrect repair and thus to increases in chromosome damage. If DNA damage is extensive and cells are unable to repair that damage they typically undergo apoptosis. The mechanism(s) by which cells decide to switch from DNA repair to apoptosis is unknown. Since DNA repair and apoptosis are both energy-demanding processes, the answer may involve ATP utilization. We used human mitochondrial mutant cell lines obtained from people with phenotypic manifestations of compromised ATP generation. We hypothesized that these cells may not have adequate capacity for dealing with the additional demands for ATP required for repairing DNA damage after genotoxic exposure, perhaps making the cells more prone to undergo apoptosis instead of initiating repair. This study describes changes in the expression of genes involved in NHEJ or HRR, as well as genes involved in apoptosis, in one normal and two mitochondrial mutant human cell lines following ionizing radiation exposure. Compared to normal cells, both mutant cell lines showed reduced expression of genes involved in NHEJ and HRR. Analysis of expression changes in genes involved in apoptosis revealed marked increases in expression in the mutants compared to normal cells. These results indicate that following ionizing radiation exposure, mitochondrial mutant cells have decreased levels of mRNA expression of DNA repair genes and increased expression levels of genes involved in apoptosis compared to normal cells. This study provides information that might be useful in characterizing energy dependent processes following exposure to stress or genotoxic agents.

Ma2005-digital response of p53 to DNA damage-ATM Activation Module

Project description:Recent observations show that the single-cell response of p53 to ionizing radiation (IR) is “digital” in that it is the number of oscillations rather than the amplitude of p53 that shows dependence on the radiation dose. We present a model of this phenomenon. In our model, double-strand break (DSB) sites induced by IR interact with a limiting pool of DNA repair proteins, forming DSB–protein complexes at DNA damage foci. The persisting complexes are sensed by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a protein kinase that activates p53 once it is phosphorylated by DNA damage. The ATM-sensing module switches on or off the downstream p53 oscillator, consisting of a feedback loop formed by p53 and its negative regulator, Mdm2. In agreement with experiments, our simulations show that by assuming stochasticity in the initial number of DSBs and the DNA repair process, p53 and Mdm2 exhibit a coordinated oscillatory dynamics upon IR stimulation in single cells, with a stochastic number of oscillations whose mean increases with IR dose. The damped oscillations previously observed in cell populations can be explained as the aggregate behavior of single cell

Dose dependent transcriptional response to ionizing radiation is orchestrated with DNA repair within the nuclear space [RNA-seq]

Project description:Radiation therapy is commonly used to treat glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumor. Ionizing radiation (IR) induces dose- specific variations in transcriptional programs, implicating they are tightly regulated and critical components in the tumor response and survival. Yet, our understanding of the downstream molecular events triggered by lethal vs sublethal IR doses is limited. Herein, we report that variations in the genetic programs are positively and functionally correlated with the exposure to lethal or sublethal IR doses. Genome architecture analysis revealed that gene regulation is spatially and temporally coordinated with DNA repair kinetics. Radiation-activated genes were pre-positioned in active sub-nuclear compartments and were up-regulated following DNA damage response, while the DNA repair activity shifted to the inactive heterochromatic spatial compartments. The IR dose affected the levels of DNA damage repair and transcription modulation, but not the order of events, which was linked to their spatial nuclear positioning. Thus, distinct coordinated temporal dynamics of DNA damage repair and transcription reprogramming in the active and inactive sub-nuclear compartments highlight the importance of high-order genome organization in synchronizing the molecular events following IR.
