Modulation of Cytotoxicity by Transcription-Coupled Nucleotide Excision Repair Is Independent of the Requirement for Bioactivation of Acylfulvene.
Chemical Research in Toxicology 2017 March 21
Bioactivation as well as DNA repair affects the susceptibility of cancer cells to the action of DNA-alkylating chemotherapeutic drugs. However, information is limited with regard to the relative contributions of these processes to the biological outcome of metabolically activated DNA alkylating agents. We evaluated the influence of cellular bioactivation capacity and DNA repair on cytotoxicity of the DNA alkylating agent acylfulvene (AF). We compared the cytotoxicity and RNA synthesis inhibition by AF and its synthetic activated analogue iso-M0 in a panel of fibroblast cell lines with deficiencies in transcription-coupled (TC-NER) or global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER). We related these data to the inherent bioactivation capacity of each cell type on the basis of mRNA levels. We demonstrated that specific inactivation of TC-NER by siRNA had the largest positive impact on AF activity in a cancer cell line. These findings establish that transcription-coupled DNA repair reduces cellular sensitivity to AF, independent of the requirement for bioactivation.
