BAP1 Is a Novel Target in HPV-Negative Head and Neck Cancer.
Clinical Cancer Research 2018 Februrary 2
Purpose: This study examined the potential role of the nuclear deubiquitinating enzyme BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) in radioresistance in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Experimental Design: We overexpressed, knocked down, and rescued BAP1 expression in six HNSCC cell lines, three human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative and three HPV-positive, and examined the effects on radiosensitivity in vitro and in an HNSCC mouse xenograft model. Radiosensitivity was assessed by clonogenic cell survival and tumor growth delay assays; changes in protein expression were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. We also analyzed The Cancer Genome Atlas HNSCC database to test for associations between BAP1 expression and outcome in patients. Results: Overexpression of BAP1 induced radioresistance in both cell lines and xenograft models; conversely, BAP1 knockdown led to increased ubiquitination of histone H2A, which has been implicated in DNA repair. We further found that BAP1 depletion suppressed the assembly of constitutive BRCA1 foci, which are associated with homologous recombination (HR), but had minimal effect on γ-H2AX foci and did not affect proteins associated with nonhomologous end joining, suggesting that BAP1 affects radiosensitivity in HNSCC by modifying HR. Finally, in patients with HNSCC, overexpression of BAP1 was associated with higher failure rates after radiotherapy. Conclusions: BAP1 can induce radioresistance in HNSCC cells, possibly via deubiquitination of H2Aub and modulation of HR, and was associated with poor outcomes in patients with HNSCC. BAP1 may be a potential therapeutic target in HNSCC. Clin Cancer Res; 24(3); 600-7. ©2017 AACR .
