Association Between Polymorphisms of DNA Repair Gene XRCC1 and DNA Damage in Asbestos-Exposed Workers

Objective To compare the asbestos-induced DNA damage and repair capacities of DNA damage between 104 asbestosexposed workers and 101 control workers in Qingdao City of China and to investigate the possible association between polymorphisms in codon 399 of XRCC1 and susceptibility to asbestosis. Methods DNA damage levels in peripheral blood lymphocytes were determined by comet assay, and XRCC1 genetic polymorphisms of DNA samples from 51 asbestosis cases and 53 non-asbestosis workers with a similar asbestos exposure history were analyzed by PCR/RFLP. Results The basal comet scores （3.95±2.95） were significantly higher in asbestos-exposed workers than in control workers （0.10±0.28）. After 1 h H2O2 stimulation, DNA damage of lymphocytes exhibited different increases. After a 4 h repair period, the comet scores were 50.98±19.53 in asbestos-exposed workers and 18.32±12.04 in controls. The residual DNA damage （RD） was significantly greater （P〈0.01） in asbestos-exposed workers （35.62%） than in controls （27.75%）. XRCC1 genetic polymorphism in 104 asbestos-exposed workers was not associated with increased risk of asbestosis. But compared with polymorphisms in the DNA repair gene XRCC1 （polymorphisms in codon 399） and the DNA damage induced by asbestos, the comet scores in asbestosis cases with Gin/Gin, Gln/Arg, and Arg/Arg were 40.26±18.94, 38.03±28.22, and 32.01±11.65, respectively, which were higher than those in non-asbestosis workers with the same genotypes （25.58±11.08, 37.08±14.74, and 29.38±10.15）. There were significant differences in the comet scores between asbestosis cases and non-asbestosis workers with Gin/Gin by Student＇s t-test （P〈0.05 or 0.01）. The comet scores were higher in asbestosis workers with Gin/Gin than in those with Arg/Arg and in non-asbestosis workers exposed to asbestos, but without statistically significant difference. Conclusions Exposure to asbestos may be related to DNA damage or the capacity of cells to repair H2O2-induced DNA damage. DNA repair gene XRCC 1 codon 399 may be responsible for the inter-individual susceptibility in DNA damage and repair capacities.

Our study explored the dynamic changes in andthe relationship between the DNA damage marker8-hydroxy-2＇-deoxyguanosine （8-OHdG） and theDNA repair marker 8-hydroxyguanine DNAglycosidase 1 （hOGG1） according to the length ofoccupational employment in nickel smeltingworkers. One hundred forty nickel-exposedsmelting workers and 140 age-matched unexposedoffice workers were selected from the Jinchangcohort. The 8-OHdG levels in smelting workers wassignificantly higher than in office workers （Z=-8.688,P〈0.05） and the 8-OHdG levels among nickelsmelting workers in the 10-14 y employment lengthcategory was significantly higher than among allpeers. The hOGG1 levels among smelting workerswere significantly lower than those of non-exposedworkers （Z=-8.948, P〈0.05）. There were significantdifferences between employment length andhOGG1 levels, with subjects employed in nickelsmelting for 10-14 y showing the highest levels ofhOGG1. Correlation analysis showed positivecorrelations between 8-OHdG and hOGG1 levels（r=0.413; P〈0.01）. DNA damage was increased withemployment length among nickel smelting workersand was related to the inhibition of hOGG1 repaircapacity.

范可尼贫血:从遗传疾病到癌症关联的DNA修复通路探索与治疗展望

范可尼贫血(FA)是一种遗传性疾病,其特征包括骨髓衰竭、发育异常和易患癌症。这种疾病是由基因突变引起的,导致修复DNA链间交联(ICLs)异常。DNA损伤反应失调会导致基因组不稳定,增加突变率和致癌风险。FA通路是DNA损伤应答的重要组成部分,在DNA链间交联修复和基因组稳定性方面发挥着关键作用。任何一个编码FA蛋白的基因胚系突变都会导致FA。随着体细胞癌中FA基因表达异常的普遍发生和不断开展的FA通路激活与化疗耐药相关性的研究,FA通路与癌症之间的联系得到了进一步确认,并且基于FA通路基因缺陷的靶向治疗也在逐步开发和应用。本文综述了FA蛋白在ICLs修复、FA信号网络调节以及其在癌症发病和预后中的重要作用,并探讨了靶向FA途径的小分子抑制剂的潜在应用。

The Role of DNA Mismatch Repair and Recombination in the Processing of DNA Alkylating Damage in Living Yeast Cells

It is proposed that mismatch repair (MMR) mediates the cytotoxic effects of DNA damaging agents by exerting a futile repair pathway which leads to double strand breaks (DSBs). Previous reports indicate that the sensitivity of cells defective in homologous recombination (HR) to DNA alkylation is reduced by defects in MMR genes. We have assessed the contribution of different MMR genes to the processing of alkylation damage in vivo. We have directly visualized recombination complexes formed upon DNA damage using fluorescent protein (FP) fusions. We find that msh6 mutants are more resistant than wild type cells to MNNG, and that an msh6 mutation rescues the sensitivity of rad52 strains more efficiently than an msh3 mutation. Analysis of RAD52-GFP tagged strains indicate that MNNG increases repair foci formation, and that the inactivation of the MHS2 and MSH6 genes but not the MSH3 gene result in a reduction of the number of foci formed. In addition, in the absence of HR, NHEJ could process the MNNG-induced DSBs as indicated by the formation of NHEJ-GFP tagged foci. These data suggest that processing of the alkylation damage by MMR, mainly by MSH2-MSH6, is required for recruitment of recombination proteins to the damage site for repair.

目的本研究旨在探索构建一个基于DNA损伤修复相关基因(DDRGs)的预测膀胱癌患者生存预后及免疫治疗效果的风险模型。方法首先,从TCGA⁃BLCA数据集下载的RNA序列及临床信息,通过单变量Cox、最小绝对收缩与选择算法(LASSO)及多变量Cox分析,筛选出与DNA损伤修复相关的基因(DDRGs),构建预后风险模型;利用Kaplan⁃Meier生存曲线评估生存差异,通过接收者操作特征(ROC)曲线验证模型性能,并结合临床特征构建列线图进行验证。最后,对临床特征进行了分层分析,并进一步通过基因集富集分析(GSEA)、评估免疫状态和免疫检查点抑制剂(ICIs)的治疗效果。结果通过构建11个DNA损伤修复相关基因的风险模型,显示高风险得分的膀胱癌患者生存率明显低于低风险得分患者。免疫状态的分析揭示了高风险与低风险组之间存在显著差异,且低风险组患者对免疫检查点抑制剂的治疗效果更佳。结论基于DNA损伤修复构建的预后风险模型能有效预测膀胱癌患者的生存预后及其对免疫检查点抑制剂治疗的响应性。

DNA聚合酶η小分子抑制剂筛选

DNA损伤修复以及基因组稳定性维持对于动植物正常生长和防御逆境至关重要。针对DNA聚合酶错误掺入导致的基因组不稳定性,本研究以DNA聚合酶η为研究对象,通过计算分子模拟对接的方式,对其可能的小分子抑制剂进行筛选,并对其酶动力学参数进行测定。结果显示:脱氧腺苷三磷酸(deoxyadenosine triphosphate,d ATP)对DNA聚合酶η的活性具有抑制效果,使其延伸的相对效率为36%~42%。分子模拟对接和体外实验结果表明,相较于dATP(亲和力为-26.7 kJ/mol),环鸟苷酸-腺苷酸(cyclic GMP-AMP,cGAMP)与DNA聚合酶η具有更低的结合能(亲和力为-35.1 kJ/mol)。酶动力学参数测定结果也表明,相较于dATP,cGAMP具有更强的抑制能力且在浓度为0.5 mmol/L时达到最强(相对延伸效率为13%)。因此,本研究筛选获得了针对DNA聚合酶η的一种潜在的小分子抑制剂。同时,鉴于该蛋白质高表达导致细胞对抗肿瘤药物(DNA损伤剂)的耐受性,这为新型药物的开发提供了依据。

Development of a prognostic signature for esophageal cancer based on a novel 7-DNA damage repair genes signature

Esophageal cancer(EC)was an aggressive malignant neoplasm characterized by high morbidity and poor prognosis.Identifying the changes in DNA damage repair genes helps to better understand the mechanisms of carcinoma progression.In this study,by comparing EC samples and normal samples,we found a total of 132 DDR expression with a significant difference.Moreover,we revealed higher expression of POLN,PALB2,ATM,PER1,TOP3B and lower expression of HMGB1,UBE2B were correlated to longer OS in EC.In addition,a prognostic risk score based on 7 DDR gene expression(POLN,HMGB1,TOP3B,PER1,UBE2B,ATM,PALB2)was constructed for the prognosis of EC.Meanwhile,EC cancer samples were divided into 3 subtypes based on 132 DDR genes expressions.Clinical profile analysis showed cluster C1 and C2 showed a similar frequency of T2,which was remarked higher than that in cluster 3.Moreover,we found the immune cell inflation levels were significantly changed in different subtypes of EC.The infiltration levels of T cell CD8+,B cell and NK cells were greatly higher in cluster 2 than that in cluster 1 and cluster 3.The results showed T cell CD4+infiltration levels were dramatically higher in cluster 1 than that in cluster 2 and cluster 3.Finally,we perform bioinformatics analysis of DEGs among 3 subtypes of EC and found DDR genes may be related to multiple signaling,such as Base excision repair,Cell cycle,Hedgehog signaling pathway,and Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis.These results showed DDR genes may serve as new target for the prognosis of EC and prediction of the potential response of immune therapy in EC.

Evaluation of 30 DNA damage response and 6 mismatch repair gene mutations as biomarkers for immunotherapy outcomes across multiple solid tumor types

Objective:DNA damage response(DDR)genes have low mutation rates,which may restrict their clinical applications in predicting the outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitor(ICI)treatment.Thus,a systemic analysis of multiple DDR genes is needed to identify potential biomarkers of ICI efficacy.Methods:A total of 39,631 patients with mutation data were selected from the cBioPortal database.A total of 155 patients with mutation data were obtained from the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(FUSCC).A total of 1,660 patients from the MSK-IMPACT cohort who underwent ICI treatment were selected for survival analysis.A total of 249 patients who underwent ICI treatment from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute(DFCI)cohort were obtained from a published dataset.The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)level 3 RNA-Seq version 2 RSEM data for gastric cancer were downloaded from cBioPortal.Results:Six MMR and 30 DDR genes were included in this study.Six MMR and 20 DDR gene mutations were found to predict the therapeutic efficacy of ICI,and most of them predicted the therapeutic efficacy of ICI,in a manner dependent on TMB,except for 4 combined DDR gene mutations,which were associated with the therapeutic efficacy of ICI independently of the TMB.Single MMR/DDR genes showed low mutation rates;however,the mutation rate of all the MMR/DDR genes associated with the therapeutic efficacy of ICI was relatively high,reaching 10%–30%in several cancer types.Conclusions:Coanalysis of multiple MMR/DDR mutations aids in selecting patients who are potential candidates for immunotherapy.

RNA甲基化修饰调控DNA损伤修复过程及其在肿瘤耐药中的作用

DNA损伤修复是指纠正DNA两条单链间错配的碱基、清除DNA链上受损的碱基、恢复DNA正常结构的过程。细胞内存在多种机制来应对不同类型的DNA损伤,同源重组修复便是重要的修复机制之一。在同源重组修复过程中,RNA的合成发挥着重要作用,而RNA甲基化修饰作为一个普遍存在于真核细胞中的调控机制,也参与了这一复杂的修复过程。肿瘤发生过程中普遍存在RNA甲基化修饰失调导致的DNA损伤累积,从而引起肿瘤的恶性转化。此外,RNA甲基化修饰还可以影响放化疗后细胞对DNA损伤的修复能力,使肿瘤细胞的放化疗敏感性发生改变,进而影响治疗效果。本文综述了目前已知的不同类型RNA甲基化修饰在DNA损伤修复过程中的作用,并进一步分析RNA甲基化修饰介导的DNA损伤修复异常在肿瘤临床诊断、预后判断和作为治疗靶点等方面的应用前景。

Perspectives on the combination of radiotherapy and targeted therapy with DNA repair inhibitors in the treatment of pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is highly lethal. Current research that combines radiation with targeted therapy may dramatically improve prognosis. Cancerous cells are characterized by unstable genomes and activation of DNA repair pathways, which are indicated by increased phosphorylation of numerous factors, including H2 AX, ATM, ATR, Chk1, Chk2, DNA-PKcs, Rad51, and Ku70/Ku80 heterodimers. Radiotherapy causes DNA damage. Cancer cells can be made more sensitive to the effects of radiation(radiosensitization) through inhibition of DNA repair pathways. The synergistic effects, of two or more combined non-lethal treatments, led to coadministration of chemotherapy and radiosensitization in BRCA-defective cells and patients, with promising results. ATM/Chk2 and ATR/Chk1 pathways are principal regulators of cell cycle arrest, following DNA doublestrand or single-strand breaks. DNA double-stranded breaks activate DNA-dependent protein kinase, catalytic subunit(DNA-PKcs). It forms a holoenzyme with Ku70/Ku80 heterodimers, called DNA-PK, which catalyzes the joining of nonhomologous ends. This is the primary repair pathway utilized in human cells after exposure to ionizing radiation. Radiosensitization, induced by inhibitors of ATM, ATR, Chk1, Chk2, Wee1, PP2 A, or DNA-PK, has been demonstrated in preclinical pancreatic cancer studies. Clinical trials are underway. Development of agents that inhibit DNA repair pathways to be clinically used in combination with radiotherapy is warranted for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

DNA damage responses in cancer stem cells: Implications for cancer therapeutic strategies

The identification of cancer stem cells(CSCs) that are responsible for tumor initiation, growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance might lead to a new thinking on cancer treatments. Similar to stem cells,CSCs also display high resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy with genotoxic agents. Thus, conventional therapy may shrink the tumor volume but cannot eliminate cancer. Eradiation of CSCs represents a novel therapeutic strategy. CSCs possess a highly efficient DNA damage response(DDR) system, which is considered as a contributor to the resistance of these cells from exposures to DNA damaging agents. Targeting of enhanced DDR in CSCs is thus proposed to facilitate the eradication of CSCs by conventional therapeutics. To achieve this aim, a better understanding of the cellular responses to DNA damage in CSCs is needed. In addition to the protein kinases and enzymes that are involved in DDR, other processes that affect the DDR including chromatin remodeling should also be explored.

Epigenetic reduction of DNA repair in progression to gastrointestinal cancer

Deficiencies in DNA repair due to inherited germ-line mutations in DNA repair genes cause increased risk of gastrointestinal(GI) cancer. In sporadic GI cancers, mutations in DNA repair genes are relatively rare. However, epigenetic alterations that reduce expression of DNA repair genes are frequent in sporadic GI cancers. These epigenetic reductions are also found in field defects that give rise to cancers. Reduced DNA repair likely allows excessive DNA damages to accumulate in somatic cells. Then either inaccurate translesion synthesis past the un-repaired DNA damages or error-prone DNA repair can cause mutations. Erroneous DNA repair can also cause epigenetic alterations(i.e., epimutations, transmitted through multiple replication cycles). Some of these mutations and epimutations may cause progression to cancer. Thus, deficient or absent DNA repair is likely an important underlying cause of cancer. Whole genome sequencing of GI cancers show that between thousands to hundreds of thousands of mutations occur in these cancers. Epimutations that reduce DNA repair gene expression and occur early in progression to GI cancers are a likely source of this high genomic instability. Cancer cells deficient in DNA repair are more vulnerable than normal cells to inactivation by DNA damaging agents. Thus, some of the most clinically effective chemotherapeutic agents in cancer treatment are DNA damaging agents, and their effectiveness often depends on deficient DNA repair in cancer cells. Recently, at least 18 DNA repair proteins, each active in one of six DNA repair pathways, were found to be subject to epigenetic reduction of expression in GI cancers. Different DNA repair pathways repair different types of DNA damage. Evaluation of which DNA repair pathway(s) are deficient in particular types of GI cancer and/or particular patients may prove useful in guiding choice of therapeutic agents in cancer therapy.

目的:研究去泛素化酶含约瑟芬结构域2蛋白(JOSD2)对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)恶性进展的调控作用及其分子机制。方法:从基因表达数据库下载NSCLC转录组表达数据及临床资料,利用主成分分析、limma差异分析和基因表达量分析考察NSCLC中表达水平显著上调的去泛素化酶相关基因;利用KaplanMeier生存分析算法考察不同去泛素化酶对NSCLC患者总生存期的影响;利用基因本体论富集分析和基因集富集分析考察高表达JOSD2的患者中信号通路的变化情况;利用基因集变异分析和皮尔逊相关性分析考察JOSD2表达水平与DNA损伤反应(DDR)通路的相关性;利用蛋白质印迹法考察JOSD2和DNA损伤修复通路相关蛋白的表达水平;利用免疫荧光法考察JOSD2在细胞内亚定位的变化;利用磺酰罗丹明染色法考察敲低JOSD2对DNA损伤类药物的敏感性。结果:与癌旁组织比较,NSCLC组织中JOSD2的表达量显著上调(P<0.05),且与NSCLC患者的不良预后显著相关(P<0.05);与低表达JOSD2的组织比较,高表达JOSD2的NSCLC组织中DDR相关途径显著激活(均P<0.05),且JOSD2的表达水平与DDR相关途径激活程度呈显著正相关(均P<0.01);与对照组比较,过表达JOSD2显著促进NSCLC细胞系的DDR过程,此外,DNA损伤剂处理可显著提高JOSD2的细胞核定位,而敲低JOSD2显著增强NSCLC细胞对DNA损伤剂的敏感性(均P<0.05)。结论:JOSD2通过促进DNA损伤修复途径调控NSCLC的恶性进展,而敲低JOSD2可显著增强NSCLC细胞对DNA损伤剂的敏感性。

DNA plasticity and damage in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

The pathophysiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis （ALS） is particularly challenging due to the heteroge- neity of its clinical presentation and the diversity of cellular, molecular and genetic peculiarities involved. Molecular insights unveiled several novel genetic factors to be inherent in both familial and sporadic dis- ease entities, whose characterizations in terms of phenotype prediction, pathophysiological impact and putative prognostic value are a topic of current researches. However, apart from genetically well-defined high-confidence and other susceptibility loci, the role of DNA damage and repair strategies of the genome as a whole, either elicited as a direct consequence of the underlying genetic mutation or seen as an autono- mous parameter, in the initiation and progression of ALS, and the different cues involved in either process are still incompletely understood. This mini review summarizes current knowledge on DNA alterations and counteracting DNA repair strategies in ALS pathology and discusses the putative role of unconventional DNA entities including transposable elements and extrachromosomal circular DNA in the disease process. Focus is set on SODl-related pathophysiology, with extension to FUS, TDP-43 and C90RF72 mutations. Advancing our knowledge in the field will contribute to an improved understanding of this relentless dis- ease, for which therapeutic options others than symptomatic approaches are almost unavailable.
