Project description:Despite the high toxicity, alkylating agents are still at the forefront of several clinical protocols used to treat cancers. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying alkylation damage responses, aiming to identify novel strategies to augment alkylating therapy efficacy. In this pursuit, we compared gene expression profiles of evolutionary distant cell types (D. melanogaster Kc167 cells, mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human cancer cells) in response to the alkylating agent methyl-methanesulfonate (MMS). We found that many responses to alkylation damage are conserved across species independent on their tumor/normal phenotypes. Key amongst these observations was the protective role of NRF2-induced GSH production primarily regulating GSH pools essential for MMS detoxification but also controlling activation of unfolded protein response (UPR) needed for mounting survival responses across species. An interesting finding emerged from a non-conserved mammalian-specific induction of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent inflammatory responses following alkylation, which was not directly related to cell survival but stimulated the production of a pro-inflammatory, invasive and angiogenic secretome in cancer cells. Appropriate blocking of this inflammatory component blocked the invasive phenotype and angiogenesis in vitro and facilitated a controlled tumor killing by alkylation in vivo through inhibition of alkylation-induced angiogenic response, and induction of tumor healing.

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms by which cells respond to chemotherapeutics is key to identifying means to improve therapy effiicacy while reducing systemic toxicity of these widely used classes of drugs. While determining the role of NRF2-GSH and ER stress in cells exposed to alkylating compounds such as methyl-methanesulfonate (MMS), we asked if these pathways could also be a general cell damage response relevant to other clinically used chemotherapeutics or if it is an alkylation specific response. With this intent, we performed RNA sequencing of MDA-MB231 breast cancer and U2OS osteosarcoma cells lines treated for 8 hours with a topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide (20 µM), the antimitotic beta-tubulin-interacting drug paclitaxel (0.2 µM), doxorubicin (1 µM) and compared to MMS (40 µg/mL) treated cells. Doses represent IC50 level after 72 hours exposure. We observed that even though non-alkylating drugs, especially etoposide, caused an increase in the mRNA expression of some NRF2 and ER stress signaling markers, the number and magnitude of upregulation of genes markers in either pathway was more pronounced in alkylation treatments compared to other drugs. This indicates that alterations in NRF2 and ER stress pathways could be more likely associated with differential sensitivity to alkylating chemotherapies.

Project description:Alkylation damage to DNA occurs when cells encounter alkylating agents in the environment or when active alkylators are generated by nitrosation of amino acids in metabolic pathways. To cope with DNA alkylation damage, cells have evolved genes that encode proteins with alkylation-specific DNA repair activities. It is notable that these repair systems are conserved from bacteria to humans. In Escherichia coli, cells exposed to a low concentration of an alkylating agent, such as N-methyl-Nâ-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) or methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), show a remarkable increase in resistance to both the lethal and mutagenic effects of subsequent high-level challenge treatments with the same or other alkylating agents. This increased resistance has been known as âadaptive responseâ to alkylation damage in DNA. To date, four genes have been identified as components of this response, ada, alkA, alkB and aidB. The ada gene encodes the Ada protein, which has the dual function of a transcriptional regulator for the genes involved in the adaptive response, and a methyltransferase that demethylates two methylated bases (O6meG and O4meT) and methylphosphotriesters produced by methylating agents in the sugar phosphate backbone. The differences between the wild-type and mutant strains were characterized at transcriptome levels. In addition, the global changes in gene expressions in response to alkylating agents (MMS), in E. coli K-12 W3110 and ada mutant strains were also analyzed. The analysis of time- and strain-dependent adaptive responses revealed the regulatory and physiological characteristics of the Ada-dependent adaptive response in E. coli. In order to examine the intracellular changes that are induced by the ada gene deletion in the MMS-untreated, normal growth condition, the expression levels of genes of ada mutant cells were compared with those of wild-type cells at the mid-log growth phase (at 0.5 h sampling point). Cells were cultivated at 37oC and 250 rpm in 100 mL of Luria-Bertani (LB) medium (10 g/L tryptone, 5 g/L yeast extract, and 5 g/L NaCl) in 250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks. Transcriptome analysis were also performed for the samples (E. coli wildtype and ada mutant strains) taken at 0.5, 1.5 and 3.9 h following MMS treatment for both MMS-treated and -untreated control cultures, and the expression levels were compared.

Project description:Maintenance of genetic integrity is essential for survival of all organisms. Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is a member of the c-AMP response element binding (CREB)/ATF family of transcription factors, and is highly inducible by various stress conditions including DNA damage. However, downstream targets and molecular basis underlying pleiotropic effects of ATF3 on the cell fate have been largely unknown. To identify ATF3 targets in the human genome, we carried out chromatin immunoprecipitation-microarray (ChiP-on-chip) and knockdown-expression profiling analysis using two models where ATF3 was either transiently induced or constitutively expressed. We show that ATF3 binds to an unexpectedly large number of targets; 5,984 promoters in HCT116 cells treated with an alkylating agene methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and 1,423 promoters in LNCaP cells constitutively expressing ATF3. Importantly, targets of MMS-induced ATF3 are highly enriched not only for CREB/ATF motifs but also for binding sites of several stress sensors including DDIT3/CHOP, Egr1, and c-Ets which are concomitantly induced by MMS. Stress-induced ATF3 affects broad but select biological processes including cell cycle, cell death, adhesion, biosynthesis, and receptor signaling pathways. In addition, ATF3 binds to as many as 40% of the p53 targets and preferentially enhances MMS-induced activation of proapoptotic genes such as DR4, DR5, and PUMA, consistent with the proapoptotic effect of ATF3. These data shed new light on the co-regulatory function of ATF3 in the stress-induced transcription factor network. The comprehensive list of genomic targets of ATF3 will facilitate further understanding the role of ATF3 in determining life and death of cells under both physiological and tumour-associated stress conditions. Maintenance of genetic integrity is fundamental to survival of all organisms. DNA damage can be caused by various agents in environment and elicits complex responses in the cell. ATF3 is one of the transcription factors activated by various stress conditions including DNA damage, and has been shown to have pleiotropic effects on life and death of cells depending on the context of experimental conditions. It has been largely unknown, however, which genes and pathways are regulated by stress-induced ATF3. Here we attempted to answer this question by chromatin immunoprecipitation-microarray analysis of downstream targets of ATF3. We show that ATF3 binds to an unexpectedly large number of promoters (nearly 6,000) in a human colorectal cancer cell lineHCT116 treated with an alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate. Interestingly, the ATF3 targets are highly enriched for binding sites of other stress sensors shedding light on a transcriptional co-regulatory network of DNA damage response. We further show that ATF3 regulates expression of genes in select biological processes including cell cycle, cell death, adhesion, metabolism, signal transduction, and the p53 pathway. The comprehensive list of ATF3 targets provides new insight into a highly inter-connected network of stress-induced transcription factors around ATF3.

Project description:To determine the effect of lack of two Histone H4 genes, CgHHF1 and CgHHF2, on global transcriptional profile, and on transcriptional response towards MMS exposure, RNA-Seq analysis was conducted on log-phase grown Candida glabrata wild-type and Cghhf1∆2∆ cells in the presence and absence of MMS. Comparative transcriptome analysis of wild-type and Cghhf1∆2∆ cells displayed deregulation of 303 genes due to the loss of CgHHF1 and CgHHF2 genes. C. glabrata responded to MMS by upregulating genes involved in transmembrane transport and invasive growth in response to glucose limitation, and by downregulating the aerobic respiration and ergosterol biosynthetic process genes.
