Amplification of mutant BRCA2 gene confers resistance to PARP inhibitor

ABSTRACT: 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 BRCA1 coiled-coil domain variant disrupting PALB2 interaction predisposes to mammary tumors with a targetable defect in homologous recombination repair [CNV-seq]

Project description:The BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene encodes a multi-domain protein for which several functions have been described. These include a key role in homologous recombination repair (HRR) of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which is shared with two other high-risk hereditary breast cancer suppressors, BRCA2 and PALB2. Although both BRCA1 and BRCA2 interact with PALB2, BRCA1 missense variants affecting its PALB2-interacting coiled-coil domain are considered sequence variants of uncertain clinical significance (VUS). Using genetically engineered mice, we now show that a BRCA1 coiled-coil domain VUS, Brca1 p.L1363P, disrupting the interaction with PALB2 leads to embryonic lethality and loss of breast cancer suppression. Brca1 p.L1363P mammary tumors develop with a similar latency as Brca1-null tumors, but show different histopathological features and more stable DNA copy number profiles. Nevertheless, Brca1 p.L1363P mammary tumors are HRR-incompetent and responsive to cisplatin and PARP inhibition.

Olaparib resistance and cisplatin responses in triple negative breast cancer

Project description:PARP inhibitor and platinum based drugs such as cisplatin are promising therapies for triple negative breast cancer and exploit the deficiencies in BRCA1 or BRCA2, or homologous recombination repair defects. However, PARP inhibitor resistance is proven to be a major clinical problem. Acquired PARP inhibitor resistance has been linked with co-resistance to platinum-based drugs. To determine how acquired olaparib resistance affects cisplatin response and whether this is influenced by their BRCA1 status, we performed RNAseq transcriptome analysis of isogenic triple negative breast cancer models of olaparib resistance with normal and mutant BRCA1.

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.

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.

Shieldin complex promotes DNA end joining and counters homologous recombination in BRCA1-null cells

Project description:BRCA1 deficiencies cause breast, ovarian and other cancers, and render tumours hypersensitive to PARP-inhibitors. To understand resistance mechanisms, we conducted whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 synthetic-viability/resistance screens in BRCA1-deficient breast cancer cells treated with PARP-inhibitors. Thus, we identified two previously uncharacterized proteins, C20orf196 and FAM35A, whose inactivation confers strong PARP-inhibitor resistance. Mechanistically, we show that C20orf196 and FAM35A form a complex, termed “Shieldin” (SHLD1/2), with FAM35A interacting with single-stranded DNA via its C-terminal OB-fold region. We establish that Shieldin promotes DNA double-strand break (DSB) end-joining, acting as the downstream effector of 53BP1/RIF1/MAD2L2 to restrict DSB resection and counteract homologous recombination in BRCA1-deficient cells by antagonising BRCA2/RAD51 loading. Notably, Shieldin inactivation further sensitises BRCA1-deficient cells to cisplatin, suggesting how defining the SHLD1/2 status of BRCA1-deficient tumours might aid patient stratification and yield new treatment opportunities. Highlighting this potential, we document reduced SHLD1/2 expression in human breast cancers displaying intrinsic or acquired PARP-inhibitor resistance.

aCGH analysis of Palb2GT/+;p53-/- and Palb2+/+;p53-/- lymphomas

Project description:Palb2 interacts with BRCA1 and BRCA2 in supercomplexes involved in DNA repair via homologous recombination. Heterozygous germline mutations in PALB2 confer a moderate risk of breast cancer while biallelic PALB2 mutations are linked to a severe form of Fanconi anaemia characterized by early childhood solid tumours and severe chromosomal instability. In contrast to BRCA1- or BRCA2-associated cancers, breast tumours in heterozygous PALB2 mutation carriers do not show loss of the wild type allele, suggesting PALB2 might be haploinsufficient for tumour suppression. To study the role of PALB2 in development and tumourigenesis, we have generated Palb2GT mouse mutants using a gene trap approach. Whereas Palb2GT/GT homozygous mutant embryos died at mid-gestation due to massive apoptosis, Palb2GT/+ heterozygous mice were viable and did not show any obvious abnormalities. Deletion of p53 alleviated the phenotype of Palb2GT/GT embryos, but did not rescue embryonic lethality. In addition, loss of p53 did not significantly collaborate with Palb2 heterozygosity in tumourigenesis in heterozygous or homozygous p53 knockout mice. Tumours arising in Palb2GT/+;p53+/– or Palb2GT/+;p53–/– compound mutant mice retained the wild type Palb2 allele and did not display increased genomic instability. Comparison of 15 Palb2GT/+;p53-/- and 11 Palb2+/+;p53-/- lymphomas. Spleen/liver DNA of the same animal was used as reference material.

A HUWE1 defect causes PARP inhibitor resistance by modulating the BRCA1-∆11q splice variant

Project description:Although PARP inhibitors (PARPi) now form part of the standard-of-care for the treatment of homologous recombination defective cancers, de novo and acquired resistance limits their overall effectiveness. Previously, overexpression of the BRCA1-∆11q splice variant has been shown to cause PARPi resistance. How cancer cells achieve increased BRCA1-∆11q expression has remained unclear. Using isogenic cells with different BRCA1 mutations, we show that reduction in HUWE1 leads to increased levels of BRCA1-∆11q and PARPi resistance. This effect is specific to cells able to express BRCA1-∆11q (e.g. BRCA1 exon 11 mutant cells) and is not seen in BRCA1 mutants that cannot express BRCA1-∆11q, nor in BRCA2 mutant cells. As well as increasing levels of BRCA1-∆11q protein in exon 11 mutant cells, HUWE1 silencing also restores RAD51 nuclear foci and platinum salt resistance. HUWE1 catalytic domain mutations were also seen in a case of PARPi resistant, BRCA1 exon 11 mutant, high grade serous ovarian cancer. These results suggest how elevated levels of BRCA1-∆11q and PARPi resistance can be achieved, identify HUWE1 as a candidate biomarker of PARPi resistance for assessment in future clinical trials and illustrate how some PARPi resistance mechanisms may only operate in patients with particular BRCA1 mutations.
