Lyu F, Huang S, Yan Z, He Q, Liu C, Cheng L, Cong Y, Chen K, Song Y, Xing Y. CircUGGT2 facilitates progression and cisplatin resistance of bladder cancer through nonhomologous end-joining pathway. Cell Signal 2024; 119:111164. [PMID: 38583745 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
The development of resistance to cisplatin (CDDP) in bladder cancer presents a notable obstacle, with indications pointing to the substantial role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in this resistance. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms through which circRNAs govern resistance are not yet fully understood. Our findings demonstrate that circUGGT2 is significantly upregulated in bladder cancer, facilitating cancer cell migration and invasion. Additionally, our analysis of eighty patient outcomes revealed a negative correlation between circUGGT2 expression levels and prognosis. Using circRNA pull-down assays, mass spectrometry analyses, and RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP), it was shown that circUGGT2 interacts with the KU heterodimer, consisting of KU70 and KU80. Both KU70 and KU80 are critical components of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, which plays a role in CDDP resistance. Flow cytometry was utilized in this study to illustrate the impact of circUGGT2 on the sensitivity of bladder cancer cell lines to CDDP through its interaction with KU70 and KU80. Additionally, a reduction in the levels of DNA repair factors associated with the NHEJ pathway, such as KU70, KU80, DNA-PKcs, and XRCC4, was observed in chromatin of bladder cancer cells following circUGGT2 knockdown post-CDDP treatment, while the levels of DNA repair factors in total cellular proteins remained constant. Thus, the promotion of CDDP resistance by circUGGT2 is attributed to its facilitation of repair factor recruitment to DNA breaks via interaction with the KU heterodimer. Furthermore, our study demonstrated that knockdown of circUGGT2 resulted in reduced levels of γH2AX, a marker of DNA damage response, in CDDP-treated bladder cancer cells, implicating circUGGT2 in the NHEJ pathway for DNA repair.

Abstract
Transparent immunodeficient animal models not only enhance in vivo imaging investigations of visceral organ development but also facilitate in vivo tracking of transplanted tumor cells. However, at present, transparent and immunodeficient animal models are confined to zebrafish, presenting substantial challenges for real-time, in vivo imaging studies addressing specific biological inquiries. Here, we employed a mitf-/-/prkdc-/-/il2rg-/- triple-knockout strategy to establish a colorless and immunodeficient amphibian model of Xenopus tropicalis. By disrupting the mitf gene, we observed the loss of melanophores, xanthophores, and granular glands in Xenopus tropicalis. Through the endogenous mitf promoter to drive BRAFV600E expression, we confirmed mitf expression in melanophores, xanthophores and granular glands. Moreover, the reconstruction of the disrupted site effectively reinstated melanophores, xanthophores, and granular glands, further highlighting the crucial role of mitf as a regulator in their development. By crossing mitf-/- frogs with prkdc-/-/il2rg-/- frogs, we generated a mitf-/-/prkdc-/-/il2rg-/- Xenopus tropicalis line, providing a colorless and immunodeficient amphibian model. Utilizing this model, we successfully observed intravital metastases of allotransplanted xanthophoromas and migrations of allotransplanted melanomas. Overall, colorless and immunodeficient Xenopus tropicalis holds great promise as a valuable platform for tumorous and developmental biology research.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 165:115071. [PMID: 37390710 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023] Open
Abstract
SIRT5 is a mitochondrial NAD+ -dependent lysine deacylase. Downregulation of SIRT5 has been linked to several primary cancers and DNA damage. In clinical therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the Feiyiliu Mixture (FYLM) is an experience and effective Chinese herb prescription. And we found that quercetin is an important ingredient in the FYLM. However, whether quercetin regulates DNA damage repair (DDR) and induces apoptosis through SIRT5 in NSCLC remains unknown. The present study revealed that quercetin directly binds to SIRT5 and inhibits the phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT through the interaction between SIRT5 and PI3K, thus inhibiting the repair process of homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) in NSCLC, which raise mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis. Our study provided a novel mechanism of action of quercetin in the treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
Despite advances in surgery and chemotherapy, the overall outcomes for patients with advanced ovarian cancer remain poor. Although initial response rates to platinum-based chemotherapy is about 60-80%, most patients will have recurrence and succumb to the disease. However, a DNA repair-directed precision medicine strategy has recently generated real hope in improving survival. The clinical development of PARP inhibitors has transformed lives for many patients with BRCA germline-deficient and/or platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian cancers. Antiangiogenic agents and intraperitoneal chemotherapy approaches may also improve outcomes in patients. Moreover, evolving immunotherapeutic opportunities could also positively impact patient outcomes. Here we review the current clinical state of PARP inhibitors and other clinically viable targeted approaches in ovarian cancer.

Hsp90 Inhibitor STA9090 Sensitizes Hepatocellular Carcinoma to Hyperthermia-Induced DNA Damage by Suppressing DNA-PKcs Protein Stability and mRNA Transcription. Mol Cancer Ther 2021; 20:1880-1892.

Abstract
As a conserved molecular chaperone, heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) maintains the stability and homeostasis of oncoproteins and helps cancer cells survive. DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) plays a pivotal role in the non-homologous end joining pathway for DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) repair. Tumor cells contain higher levels of DNA-PKcs to survive by the hostile tumor microenvironment and various antitumor therapies. Here, we showed that increased levels of Hsp90α, Hsp90β, and DNA-PKcs correlated with a poor overall survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We revealed that Hsp90 N-terminal domain and C-terminal domain have different effects on DNA-PKcs protein and mRNA levels. The stability of DNA-PKcs depended on Hsp90α N-terminal nucleotide binding domain. Transcription factor SP1 regulates the transcription of PRKDC (gene name of DNA-PKcs) and is a client protein of Hsp90. Inhibition of Hsp90 N-terminal by STA9090 decreased the location of Hsp90α in nucleus, Hsp90α-SP1 interaction, SP1 level, and the binding of Hsp90α/SP1 at the proximal promoter region of PRKDC Because hyperthermia induces DSBs with increases level of DNA-PKcs, combined STA9090 treatment with hyperthermia effectively delayed the tumor growth and significantly decreased DNA-PKcs levels in xenografts model. Consistently, inhibition of Hsp90 increased the number of heat shock-induced γ-H2AX foci and delayed the repair of DSBs. Altogether, our results suggest that Hsp90 inhibitor STA9090 decreases DNA-PKcs protein stability and PRKDC mRNA level, which provide a theoretical basis for the promising combination therapy of hyperthermia and Hsp90 inhibitor in HCC.

Abstract
An alarming increase in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases among children and adults has attracted the attention of researchers to discover new therapeutic strategies with a better prognosis. In cancer cells, the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway elements have been recognized to protect tumor cells from various stresses and cause tumor progression; targeting these DDR members is an attractive strategy for treatment of cancers. The inhibition of the DDR pathway in cancer cells for the treatment of cancers has recently been introduced. Hence, effective treatment strategies are needed for this purpose. Chemotherapy in combination with radiotherapy is considered a potential therapeutic strategy for acute leukemia. This review aims to assess the synergistic effects of these inhibitors with irradiation for the treatment of leukemia.

Abstract
Technological breakthroughs in electron microscopy (EM) have made it possible to solve structures of biological macromolecular complexes and to raise novel challenges, specifically related to sample preparation and heterogeneous macromolecular assemblies such as DNA-protein, protein-protein, and membrane protein assemblies. Here, we built a V-shaped DNA origami as a scaffolding molecular system to template proteins at user-defined positions in space. This template positions macromolecular assemblies of various sizes, juxtaposes combinations of biomolecules into complex arrangements, isolates biomolecules in their active state, and stabilizes membrane proteins in solution. In addition, the design can be engineered to tune DNA mechanical properties by exerting a controlled piconewton (pN) force on the molecular system and thus adapted to characterize mechanosensitive proteins. The binding site can also be specifically customized to accommodate the protein of interest, either interacting spontaneously with DNA or through directed chemical conjugation, increasing the range of potential targets for single-particle EM investigation. We assessed the applicability for five different proteins. Finally, as a proof of principle, we used RNAP protein to validate the approach and to explore the compatibility of the template with cryo-EM sample preparation.

LncRNA linc00312 suppresses radiotherapy resistance by targeting DNA-PKcs and impairing DNA damage repair in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:69.

Abstract
Radioresistance is the main obstacle in the clinical management of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). linc00312 is deregulated in a number of human cancers, including NPC. However, the detailed functions and underlying mechanisms of linc00312 in regulating radiosensitivity of NPC remains unknown. In this study, cox regression analysis was used to assess the association between linc00312 and NPC patients’ survival after radiotherapy. Our results reveal that linc00312 is significantly down-regulated in NPC tissues and patients with higher expression of linc00312 are significantly associated with longer overall survival and better short-term radiotherapy efficacy. Overexpression of linc00312 could increase the sensitivity of NPC cells to ionizing radiation, as indicated by clonogenic survival assay, comet assay, and flow cytometry. Mechanistically, RNA pull down and RNA immunoprecipitation were performed to investigate the binding proteins of linc00312. linc00312 directly binds to DNA-PKcs, hinders the recruitment of DNA-PKcs to Ku80, and inhibits phosphorylation of AKT–DNA–PKcs axis, therefore inhibiting the DNA damage signal sensation and transduction in the NHEJ repair pathway. In addition, linc00312 impairs DNA repair and cell cycle control by suppressing MRN–ATM–CHK2 signal and ATR–CHK1 signal. In summary, we identified DNA-PKcs as the binding protein of linc00312 and revealed a novel mechanism of linc00312 in the DNA damage response, providing evidence for a potential therapeutic strategy in NPC.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its metabolites function as critical regulators to maintain physiologic processes, enabling the plastic cells to adapt to environmental changes including nutrient perturbation, genotoxic factors, circadian disorder, infection, inflammation and xenobiotics. These effects are mainly achieved by the driving effect of NAD+ on metabolic pathways as enzyme cofactors transferring hydrogen in oxidation-reduction reactions. Besides, multiple NAD+-dependent enzymes are involved in physiology either by post-synthesis chemical modification of DNA, RNA and proteins, or releasing second messenger cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and NAADP+. Prolonged disequilibrium of NAD+ metabolism disturbs the physiological functions, resulting in diseases including metabolic diseases, cancer, aging and neurodegeneration disorder. In this review, we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of NAD+-regulated physiological responses to stresses, the contribution of NAD+ deficiency to various diseases via manipulating cellular communication networks and the potential new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Nucleic Acids Res 2020; 48:9710-9723. [PMID: 32890395 PMCID: PMC7515714 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkaa723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2019] [Revised: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 08/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Two DNA repair pathways operate at DNA double strand breaks (DSBs): non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), that requires two adjacent DNA ends for ligation, and homologous recombination (HR), that resects one DNA strand for invasion of a homologous duplex. Faithful repair of replicative single-ended DSBs (seDSBs) is mediated by HR, due to the lack of a second DNA end for end-joining. ATM stimulates resection at such breaks through multiple mechanisms including CtIP phosphorylation, which also promotes removal of the DNA-ends sensor and NHEJ protein Ku. Here, using a new method for imaging the recruitment of the Ku partner DNA-PKcs at DSBs, we uncover an unanticipated role of ATM in removing DNA-PKcs from seDSBs in human cells. Phosphorylation of DNA-PKcs on the ABCDE cluster is necessary not only for DNA-PKcs clearance but also for the subsequent MRE11/CtIP-dependent release of Ku from these breaks. We propose that at seDSBs, ATM activity is necessary for the release of both Ku and DNA-PKcs components of the NHEJ apparatus, and thereby prevents subsequent aberrant interactions between seDSBs accompanied by DNA-PKcs autophosphorylation and detrimental commitment to Lig4-dependent end-joining.

Abstract
The Ku70/80 heterodimer binds to DNA ends and attracts other proteins involved in the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA double-strand break repair. We developed a novel assay to measure DNA binding and release kinetics using differences in Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) of the ECFP-Ku70/EYFP-Ku80 heterodimer in soluble and DNA end bound states. We confirmed that the relative binding efficiencies of various DNA substrates (blunt, 3 nucleotide 5′ extension, and DNA hairpin) measured in the FRET assay reflected affinities obtained from direct measurements using surface plasmon resonance. The FRET assay was subsequently used to investigate Ku70/80 behavior in the context of a DNA-dependent kinase (DNA-PK) holocomplex. As expected, this complex was much more stable than Ku70/80 alone, and its stability was influenced by DNA-PK phosphorylation status. Interestingly, the Ku80 C-terminal extension contributed to DNA-PK complex stability but was not absolutely required for its formation. The Ku70 C-terminal SAP domain, on the other hand, was required for the stable association of Ku70/80 to DNA ends, but this effect was abrogated in DNA-PK holocomplexes. We conclude that FRET measurements can be used to determine Ku70/80 binding kinetics. The ability to do this in complex mixtures makes this assay particularly useful to study larger NHEJ protein complexes on DNA ends.

Abstract
A number of solid tumors are treated with radiation therapy (RT) as a curative modality. At the same time, for certain types of cancers the applicable doses of RT are not high enough to result in a successful eradication of cancer cells. This is often caused by limited pharmacological tools and strategies to selectively sensitize tumors to RT while simultaneously sparing normal tissues from RT. We present an outline of a novel strategy for RT sensitization of solid tumors utilizing Jak inhibitors. Here, recently published pre-clinical data are reviewed which demonstrate the promising role of Jak inhibition in sensitization of tumors to RT. A wide number of currently approved Jak inhibitors for non-malignant conditions are summarized including Jak inhibitors currently in clinical development. Finally, intersection between Jak/Stat and the levels of serum cytokines are presented and discussed as they relate to susceptibility to RT.

Abstract
Murine development demands that pluripotent epiblast stem cells in the peri-implantation embryo increase from approximately 120 to 14,000 cells between embryonic days (E) 4.5 and E7.5. This is possible because epiblast stem cells can complete cell cycles in under 3 h in vivo. To ensure conceptus fitness, epiblast cells must undertake this proliferative feat while maintaining genome integrity. How epiblast cells maintain genome health under such an immense proliferation demand remains unclear. To illuminate the contribution of genome stability pathways to early mammalian development we systematically reviewed knockout mouse data from 347 DDR and repair associated genes. Cumulatively, the data indicate that while many DNA repair functions are dispensable in embryogenesis, genes encoding replication stress response and homology directed repair factors are essential specifically during the peri-implantation stage of early development. We discuss the significance of these findings in the context of the unique proliferative demands placed on pluripotent epiblast stem cells.

Abstract
Exosomes affect the initiation and progression of cancers. In the tumor microenvironment, not only cancer cells, but also fibroblasts and immunocytes secrete exosomes. Exosomes act as a communicator between cells by transferring different cargos and microRNAs (miRNAs). Drug resistance is one of the critical factors affecting therapeutic effect in the course of cancer treatment. The currently known mechanisms of drug resistance include drug efflux, alterations in drug metabolism, DNA damage repair, alterations of energy programming, cancer stem cells and epigenetic changes. Many studies have shown that miRNA carried by exosomes is closely associated with the development of drug resistance mediated by the above-mentioned mechanisms. This review article will discuss how exosomal miRNAs regulate the drug resistance.

Abstract
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most toxic DNA lesions given their oncogenic potential. Nevertheless, programmed DSBs (prDSBs) contribute to several biological processes. Formation of prDSBs is the 'price to pay' to achieve these essential biological functions. Generated by domesticated PiggyBac transposases, prDSBs have been integrated in the life cycle of ciliates. Created by Spo11 during meiotic recombination, they constitute a driving force of evolution and ensure balanced chromosome content for successful reproduction. Produced by the RAG1/2 recombinase, they are required for the development of the adaptive immune system in many species. The coevolution of processes that couple introduction of prDSBs to their accurate repair may constitute an effective safeguard against genomic instability.

Abstract
Our genome is constantly exposed to endogenous and exogenous sources of DNA damage resulting in various alterations of the genetic code. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered one of the most cytotoxic lesions. Several types of repair pathways act to repair DNA damage and maintain genome stability. In the canonical DNA damage response (DDR) DSBs are recognized by the sensing kinases Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM), Ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR), and DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), which initiate a cascade of kinase-dependent amplification steps known as DSB signaling. Recent evidence suggests that efficient recognition and repair of DSBs relies on the transcription and processing of non-coding (nc)RNA molecules by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and the RNA interference (RNAi) factors Drosha and Dicer. Multiple kinases influence the phosphorylation status of both the RNAPII carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) and Dicer in order to regulate RNA-dependent DSBs repair. The importance of kinase signaling and RNA processing in the DDR is highlighted by the regulation of p53-binding protein (53BP1), a key regulator of DSB repair pathway choice between homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Additionally, emerging evidence suggests that RNA metabolic enzymes also play a role in the repair of other types of DNA damage, including the DDR to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). RNAi factors are also substrates for mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and mediate the turnover of ncRNA during nucleotide excision repair (NER) in response to UVR. Here, we review kinase-dependent phosphorylation events on RNAPII, Drosha and Dicer, and 53BP1 that modulate the key steps of the DDR to DSBs and UVR, suggesting an intimate link between the DDR and RNA metabolism.
