Journal: Molecular Therapy. Nucleic Acids
doi: 10.1016/j.omtn.2021.07.022

Figure Legend Snippet: ERα mediates chemotherapy-induced DDB2 gene transcription (A and B) Basal mRNA (A) and protein (B) levels of DDB2 were higher in ER-positive than ER-negative breast cancer cell lines, regardless of their TP53 genetic status. (C) Silencing of ERα by two independent shRNAs suppressed DDB2 protein and mRNA expression. Reduction of both S118-phosphorylated and total ERα revealed the inhibition of ERα activity. (D) ER response elements (EREs) and p53 RE (p53RE) motifs on the DDB2 promoter and the luciferase reporter constructs driven by different lengths of the DDB2 promoter were illustrated (vermilion, red, and pink: EREs; orange: p53RE). (E) Treatment with carboplatin (50 μM) increased the luciferase activity driven by the DDB2 promoter containing both p53RE and EREs in mutp53-expressing T-47D cancer cells. Firefly luciferase activity was normalized with β-gal activity. (F) Silencing of ERα decreased the carboplatin (50 μM)-induced DDB2 promoter activity in T-47D cancer cells, and firefly luciferase activity was normalized with β-gal activity. Data in (A), (C), (E), and (F) were representative of three experiments and were shown as the mean ± SD. ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001 versus the control group, Student’s t test.

Figure Legend Snippet: ERα cooperates with mutp53 to upregulate DDB2 gene transcription and mediates chemoresistance in ER-positive breast cancer cells (A) Silencing of p53 decreased the carboplatin (50 μM)-induced DDB2 promoter activity in T-47D cancer cells. (B) Deletions of EREs, but not p53RE, reduced carboplatin (50 μM)-induced DDB2 promoter activity in T-47D cancer cells. Firefly luciferase activity was normalized with β-gal activity in (A) and (B). (C) Carboplatin (50 μM) induced chromatin-binding affinity of both ERα and mutp53 preferentially on ERE#1 of the DDB2 promoter in T-47D cancer cells in the ChIP assay. (D) Silencing of ERα reduced p53 activity, as evidenced by the acetylation at K382 in T-47D and BT-474 cancer cells. (E) Chemotherapy (50 μM carboplatin or 0.5 μM doxorubicin) induced the protein interaction between p53 and ERα in the coimmunoprecipitation (coIP) assay. (F) Ectopic co-expression of ERα and p53 mutants (R280K and R273H) synergistically enhanced DDB2 expression in HEK293T cells. (G) Silencing of DDB2 by two independent shRNAs enhanced carboplatin (50 μM)-induced DNA damage in the comet assay. The tail moment and tail-length index were calculated from images by Comet Assay III analysis. Data in (A−C) and (G) were representative of three experiments and were shown as the mean ± SD. ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001 versus the control group, Student’s t test.

(B and C) GQ motif is required for mutp53-increased lincRNA-p21 promoter activity, and firefly luciferase activity was normalized with β-gal activity. (D) The binding efficacy of endogenous mutp53 on different motifs of the lincRNA-p21 promoter in response to chemotherapies (50 μM carboplatin and 0.5 μM doxorubicin) in the ChIP assay. (E and F) Carboplatin (50 μM) and two GQ stabilizers (1 μM NMM and 5 μM auramine) increased the binding of mutp53 to the GQ motif of the 5′-biotinylated lincRNA-p21 promoters in the in vitro pull-down assay. (G) GQ stabilizers increased lincRNA-p21 expression in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells. (H) Silencing of ERα switched the chromatin-binding activity of mutp53 from EREs of the DDB2 promoter (left) to the non-B DNA motifs of the lincRNA-p21 promoter (right) in ER-positive/p53 L194F T-47D cancer cells.

Figure Legend Snippet: The proposed model of ERα/mutp53 mediated DDB2 and lincRNA-p21 in contributing to chemoresistance The proposed model illustrates how ERα determined chemoresistance of breast cancer by disrupting the balance between mutp53-dependent DDB2 and lincRNA-p21 transcriptions. In the ER-negative cancer cells (left), lincRNA-p21 , transcribed by mutp53 in a G-quadruplex of non-B structure-dependent fashion, mediate apoptosis for chemosensitivity. In the ER-positive cancer cells (right), however, ERα switches mutp53 to preferentially mediate DDB2 transcription via targeting its EREs and thereby reduces lincRNA-p21 expression, conferring chemoresistance (p53∗, mutp53).

( C ) DDB2 is deacetylated by SIRT6 in vitro . A recombinant DDB2-GFP protein (5 μg) and a SIRT6 WT or H133Y mutant protein (5 μg) purified from HEK293 cells were incubated to allow the deacetylation reaction to occur in HDAC buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 9.0, 4 mM MgCl 2 , 50 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM DTT and 1 mM NAD+) at 30°C for 2.5 h .

Control and SIRT6-depleted HCA2-hTERT cells were irradiated with UVC (20 J/m 2 ), harvested at the indicated time points and subjected to cellular protein fractionation, followed by western blot analysis of DDB2 in the chromatin fractions. ( B ) Depleting SIRT6 abolished the increased ubiquitination of DDB2 upon UV irradiation. Control and SIRT6-depleted HEK293 cells were transfected with a plasmid encoding DDB2-Flag and treated with MG132 at 10 μM. At 16 h post transfection, the cells were harvested for immunoprecipitation with an antibody against Flag, followed by western blot analysis with an antibody recognizing ubiquitin. ( C ) The ubiquitination level of the DDB2 2KR mutant was lower than that of DDB2 WT. HEK293 cells were transfected with a DDB2-Flag or DDB2-2KR-Flag plasmid. After 16 h, the cells were harvested for immunoprecipitation with an antibody against Flag, followed by western blot analysis with an antibody recognizing ubiquitin. ( D ) DDB2 2KR partially abolished the interaction between DDB2 and p97. HEK293 cells were transfected with a pControl, DDB2-GFP or DDB2-2KR-GFP plasmid. After 16 h, the cells were irradiated with UVC or left untreated, and at 5 min post UV irradiation, the cells were harvested for immunoprecipitation with an antibody against GFP and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. IPed, immunoprecipitated. ( E ) SIRT6 greatly diminished the interaction between DDB2 and p97. Control and SIRT6-depleted HEK293 cells were transfected with a plasmid encoding DDB2-Flag. After 16 h, the cells were harvested for immunoprecipitation with an antibody against Flag and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. IPed, immunoprecipitated. ( F ) Immunoblot analysis of changes in XPC hyperubiquitination in the absence or presence of SIRT6 was performed. Control and SIRT6-depleted HCA2-hTERT cells were UVC irradiated (20 J/m 2 ) and harvested at the indicated time points, followed by western blot analysis.

Figure Legend Snippet: Several mutations in SIRT6 in melanoma impair the repair of UV-induced DNA damage and result in a high incidence of mutation rates across the genome. ( A ) Lolliplot of the SIRT6 protein with the alterations present in melanoma samples indicated. ( B ) Locations of the alterations mapped to the SIRT6 crystal structure (PDB: 3ZG6). ( C ) Number of nonsynonymous mutations in melanoma samples with SIRT6 mutations. ( D ) Several SIRT6 mutants lost the ability to enhance NER efficiency. Error bars represent the s.d. *** P < 0.001, ** P < 0.01, n.s., not significant. ( E ) The SIRT6 P27S and H50Y mutants partially lost their deacetylase activity. HEK293 cells were cotransfected with plasmids encoding DDB2-GFP and SIRT6 WT or mutants. At 16 h post transfection, the cells were harvested for immunoprecipitation with an antibody against acetylated lysine, followed by western blot analysis with the indicated antibodies. ( F ) SIRT6 G134W has a high turnover rate. HCA2-hTERT cells were harvested for protein extraction at 3 and 24 h post transfection with a control vector, SIRT6 WT or G134W mutant, followed by western blot analysis of SIRT6 expression.
