Abstract
Nephrotoxicity is a major side effect of platinum-based antineoplastic drugs, and there is currently no available therapeutic intervention. Our study suggests that targeting histone deacetylase 8 could be a potential treatment for cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). In a murine model of AKI induced by cisplatin, the administration of PCI-34051, a selective inhibitor of HDAC8, resulted in significant improvement in renal function and reduction in renal tubular damage and apoptosis. Pharmacological inhibition of HDAC8 also decreased caspase-3 and PARP1 cleavage, attenuated Bax expression and preserved Bcl-2 levels in the injured kidney. In cultured murine renal epithelial cells (mRTECs) exposed to cisplatin, treatment with PCI-34051 or transfection with HDAC8 siRNA reduced apoptotic cell numbers and diminished expression of cleaved caspase-3 and PARP1; conversely, overexpression of HDAC8 intensified these changes. Additionally, PCI-34051 reduced p53 expression levels along with those for p21, p-CDK2 and γ-H2AX while preserving MRE11 expression in the injured kidney. Similarly, pharmacological and genetic inhibition of HDAC8 reduced γ-H2AX and enhanced MRE11 expression; conversely, HDAC8 overexpression exacerbated these changes in mRTECs exposed to cisplatin. These results support that HDAC8 inhibition attenuates cisplatin-induced AKI through a mechanism associated with reducing DNA damage and promoting its repair.

Zhang C, Guan Y, Zou J, Yang X, Bayliss G, Zhuang S. Histone methyltransferase MLL1 drives renal tubular cell apoptosis by p53-dependent repression of E-cadherin during cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:770. [PMID: 36068197 PMCID: PMC9448773 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-05104-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Mixed lineage leukemia 1 (MLL1) is a histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferase that interacts with WD repeat domain 5 (WDR5) to regulate cell survival, proliferation, and senescence. The role of MLL1 in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that MLL1, WDR5, and trimethylated H3K4 (H3K4me3) were upregulated in renal tubular cells of cisplatin-induced AKI in mice, along with increased phosphorylation of p53 and decreased expression of E-cadherin. Administration of MM102, a selective MLL1/WDR5 complex inhibitor, improved renal function and attenuated tubular injury and apoptosis, while repressing MLL1, WDR5, and H3K4me3, dephosphorylating p53 and preserving E-cadherin. In cultured mouse renal proximal tubular cells (RPTCs) exposed to cisplatin, treatment with MM102 or transfection with siRNAs for either MLL1 or WDR5 also inhibited apoptosis and p53 phosphorylation while preserving E-cadherin expression; p53 inhibition with Pifithrin-α lowered cisplatin-induced apoptosis without affecting expression of MLL1, WDR5, and H3K4me3. Interestingly, silencing of E-cadherin offset MM102's cytoprotective effects, but had no effect on p53 phosphorylation. These findings suggest that MLL1/WDR5 activates p53, which, in turn, represses E-cadherin, leading to apoptosis during cisplatin-induced AKI. Further studies showed that MM102 effectively inhibited cisplatin-triggered DNA damage response (DDR), as indicated by dephosphorylation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and ATM and Rad-3 related (ATR) proteins, dephosphorylation of checkpoint kinase 1 and 2 (Chk1 and Chk2); depression of γ-H2AX; and restrained cell cycle arrest, as evidenced by decreased expression of p21 and phospho-histone H3 at serine 10 in vitro and in vivo. Overall, we identify MLL1 as a novel DDR regulator that drives cisplatin-induced RPTC apoptosis and AKI by modulating the MLL1/WDR5-/ATR/ATM-Chk-p53-E-cadherin axis. Targeting the MLL1/WDR5 complex may have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE T-LAK-cell-originated protein kinase (TOPK), a PSD95-Disc large-ZO1 (PDZ) binding kinase (PBK), is a novel member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. Studies have shown that TOPK plays a critical role in the function of tumor cells, including apoptosis and mitosis. However, little is known on the effect of TOPK in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CP-AKI). This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of TOPK in CP-AKI. METHODS Cisplatin was administered to C57BL/6 mice and cultured kidney tubular epithelial cells (TECs) to establish the CP-AKI murine or cellular models. TECs were then stimulated with the specific inhibitor of TOPK OTS514 or transfected with the recombinant-activated plasmid TOPK-T9E to inhibit or activate TOPK. The TECs were treated with AKT inhibitor VIII following stimulation with OTS514 or cisplatin. Western blotting and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the cell cycle and apoptosis of TECs. RESULTS The analysis revealed that the TOPK activity was significantly suppressed by cisplatin, both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, the pharmacological inhibition of TOPK by OTS514, a specific inhibitor of TOPK, exacerbated the cisplatin-induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and apoptosis of cultured TECs. Moreover, the TOPK activation via the TOPK-T9E plasmid transfection could partially reverse the cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and apoptosis of cisplatin-treated TECs. In addition, AKT/protein kinase B (PKB), as a TOPK target protein, was inhibited by cisplatin in cultured TECs. The pharmaceutical inhibition of AKT further aggravated the apoptosis of TECs induced by cisplatin or TOPK inhibition. TOPK systematically mediated the apoptosis via the AKT pathway in the CP-AKI cell model. CONCLUSION These results indicate that TOPK activation protects against CP-AKI by ameliorating the G2/M cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis.

Oncotarget 2020; 11:4028-4044.

Abstract
The canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway plays a crucial role in a variety of functions including cell proliferation and differentiation, tumorigenic processes and radioresistance in cancer cells. The Mre11–Rad50–Nbs1 (MRN) complex has a pivotal role in sensing and repairing DNA damage. However, it remains unclear whether a connection exists between Wnt/β-catenin signalling and the MRN complex in the repair of cisplatin-induced DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs). Here, we report that (1) cisplatin exposure results in a significant increase in the levels of MRN complex subunits in human tumour cells; (2) cisplatin treatment stimulates Wnt/β-catenin signalling through increased β-catenin expression; (3) the functional perturbation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling results in aberrant cell cycle dynamics and the activation of DNA damage response and apoptosis; (4) a treatment with CHIR99021, a potent and selective GSK3β inhibitor, augments cisplatin-induced cell death in cancer cells. On the other hand, inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling with FH535 promotes cell survival. Consistently, the staining pattern of γH2AX-foci is significantly reduced in the cells exposed simultaneously to cisplatin and FH535; and (5) inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signalling impedes cisplatin-induced phosphorylation of Chk1, abrogates the G2/M phase arrest and impairs recombination-based DNA repair. Our data further show that Wnt signalling positively regulates the expression of β-catenin, Mre11 and FANCD2 at early time points, but declining thereafter due to negative feedback regulation. These results support a model wherein Wnt/β-catenin signalling and MRN complex crosstalk during DNA ICL repair, thereby playing an important role in the maintenance of genome stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cellular effects of androgen are transduced through the androgen receptor, which controls the expression of genes that regulate biosynthetic processes, cell growth, and metabolism. Androgen signaling also impacts DNA damage signaling through mechanisms involving gene expression and transcription-associated DNA damaging events. Defining the contributions of androgen signaling to DNA repair is important for understanding androgen receptor function, and it also has translational implications. METHODS We generated RNA-seq data from multiple prostate cancer lines and used bioinformatic analyses to characterize androgen-regulated gene expression. We compared the results from cell lines with gene expression data from prostate cancer xenografts, and patient samples, to query how androgen signaling and prostate cancer progression influences the expression of DNA repair genes. We performed whole genome sequencing to help characterize the status of the DNA repair machinery in widely used prostate cancer lines. Finally, we tested a DNA repair enzyme inhibitor for effects on androgen-dependent transcription. RESULTS Our data indicates that androgen signaling regulates a subset of DNA repair genes that are largely specific to the respective model system and disease state. We identified deleterious mutations in the DNA repair genes RAD50 and CHEK2. We found that inhibition of the DNA repair enzyme MRE11 with the small molecule mirin inhibits androgen-dependent transcription and growth of prostate cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS Our data supports the view that crosstalk between androgen signaling and DNA repair occurs at multiple levels, and that DNA repair enzymes in addition to PARPs, could be actionable targets in prostate cancer.

Abstract
In this review we will discuss the links between autophagy, a mechanism involved in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and controlling cellular waste management, and the DNA damage response (DDR), comprising various mechanisms preserving the integrity and stability of the genome. A reduced autophagy capacity in retinal pigment epithelium has been shown to be connected in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), an eye disease. This degenerative disease is a major and increasing cause of vision loss in the elderly in developed countries, primarily due to the profound accumulation of intra- and extracellular waste: lipofuscin and drusen. An abundance of reactive oxygen species is produced in the retina since this tissue has a high oxygen demand and contains mitochondria-rich cells. The retina is exposed to light and it also houses many photoactive molecules. These factors are clearly reflected in both the autophagy and DNA damage rates, and in both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. It remains to be revealed whether DNA damage and DDR capacity have a more direct role in the development of AMD.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common cause of acute kidney injury leading to an induction of oxidative stress, cellular dysfunction, and loss of renal function. DNA damage, including oxidative base modifications and physical DNA strand breaks, is a consequence of renal IRI. Like many other organs in the body, a redundant and highly conserved set of endogenous repair pathways have evolved to selectively recognize the various types of cellular DNA damage and combat its negative effects on cell viability. Severe damage to the DNA, however, can trigger cell death and elimination of the injured tubular epithelial cells. In this minireview, we summarize the state of the current field of DNA damage and repair in the kidney and provide some expected and, in some cases, unexpected effects of IRI on DNA damage and repair in the kidney. These findings may be applicable to other forms of acute kidney injury and could provide new opportunities for renal research.

Abstract
DNA damage activates specific cell signaling cascades for DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and/or cell death. Recent studies have demonstrated DNA damage response (DDR) in experimental models of acute kidney injury (AKI). In cisplatin-induced AKI or nephrotoxicity, the DDR pathway of ATR/Chk2/p53 is activated and contributes to renal tubular cell apoptosis. In ischemic AKI, DDR seems more complex and involves at least the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family, and p53; however, while ATM may promote DNA repair, p53 may trigger cell death. Targeting DDR for kidney protection in AKI therefore relies on a thorough elucidation of the DDR pathways in various forms of AKI.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an irreversible disease that diminishes length and quality of life. Emerging evidence suggests CKD progression and genomic integrity are inversely and causally related. To reduce health complications related to CKD progression, chronic aerobic exercise is often recommended. To date, appraisals of differing modes of exercise, along with postulations regarding the mechanisms responsible for observed effects, are lacking. In order to examine the ability of aerobic exercise to encourage improvements in genomic integrity, we evaluated the effects of 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT; 85 % VO2max), low intensity training (LIT; 45–50 % VO2max), and sedentary behaviour (SED), in an animal model of early-stage CKD. Methods To assess genomic integrity, we examined kidney-specific messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of genes related to genomic repair and stability: Fan1, Mre11a, and telomere length as measured by T/S ratio. Results Following HIIT, mRNA expression of Fan1 was significantly up-regulated, compared to SED (p = 0.026) and T/S ratio was significantly increased, compared to SED (p < 0.001) and LIT (p = 0.002). Conclusions Our results suggest that HIIT is superior to SED and LIT as HIIT beneficially influenced the expression of genes related to genomic integrity.

Abstract
The Mre11, Rad50, and Nbs1 (MRN) complex is a DNA double-strand break sensor involved in DNA damage repair. Herein, we explored whether deletion of NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), a cytoprotective gene, affected MRN complex expression in the kidney after cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). In vitro, cisplatin increased the expression of MRN complex proteins and NQO1 in NQO1-expressing ACHN cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The expression of MRN complex proteins was relatively inhibited in NQO1-knockdown cells. In vivo, increased expression of renal MRN complex proteins was accompanied by upregulation of γ-H2A histone member X, a DNA damage marker, in cisplatin-treated wild-type mice. Although the NQO1-knockout (NQO1(-/-)) mice showed more severe cisplatin-induced renal damage, the renal expression of MRN complex proteins was lower than in NQO1-expressing mice; expression of poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase 1, which promotes MRN complex accumulation, was also lower in these animals. In addition, cisplatin-induced expression of DNA damage repair-related proteins, ataxia telangiectasia mutated and sirtuin1, markedly decreased in the NQO1(-/-) group, relative to the NQO1-expressing mice. These findings suggest that NQO1 deletion might be associated with decreased MRN complex expression, which might be partially responsible for the exacerbation of cisplatin-induced AKI in the absence of NQO1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest a potential involvement of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex, a DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) sensor, in the development of nephrotoxicity following cisplatin administration. β-Lapachone is a topoisomerase I inhibitor known to reduce cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. In this study, by assessing MRN complex expression, we explored whether β-lapachone was involved in DNA damage response in the context of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. METHODS Male Balb/c mice were randomly allocated to 4 groups: control, β-lapachone alone, cisplatin alone, and β-lapachone+cisplatin. β-Lapachone was administered with the diet (0.066%) for 2 weeks prior to cisplatin injection (18mg/kg). All mice were sacrificed 3 days after cisplatin treatment. RESULTS In the cisplatin-alone group, renal function was disrupted and MRN complex expression increased. As expected, β-lapachone co-treatment attenuated cisplatin-induced pathologic alterations. Notably, although β-lapachone markedly decreased cisplatin-induced renal cell apoptosis and DSBs formation, the β-lapachone+cisplatin group showed the highest MRN complex expression. Moreover, β-lapachone treatment increased the basal expression level of the MRN complex, which was accompanied by enhanced basal expression of SIRTuin1, which is known to regulate Nbs1 acetylation. CONCLUSION Although, it remains unclear how β-lapachone induces MRN complex expression, our findings suggest that β-lapachone might affect MRN complex expression and participate in DNA damage recovery in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
