Chemotherapy with cisplatin becomes limiting due to toxicity and secondary malignancies. In principle, therapeutics could be improved by targeting translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases (Pols) that promote replication through intrastrand cross-links, the major cisplatin-induced DNA adduct. However, to specifically target malignancies with minimal adverse effects on normal cells, a good understanding of TLS mechanisms in normal versus cancer cells is paramount. We show that in normal cells, TLS through cisplatin intrastrand cross-links is promoted by Polη- or Polι-dependent pathways, both of which require Rev1 as a scaffolding component. In contrast, cancer cells require Rev1-Polζ. Our findings that a recently identified Rev1 inhibitor, JH-RE-06, purported to specifically disrupt Rev1 interaction with Polζ to block TLS through cisplatin adducts in cancer cells, abrogates Rev1's ability to function with Y family Pols as well, implying that by inactivating Rev1-dependent TLS in normal cells, this inhibitor will exacerbate the toxicity and tumorigenicity of chemotherapeutics with cisplatin.

ABSTRACT 3-Methyl adenine (3meA), a minor-groove DNA lesion, presents a strong block to synthesis by replicative DNA polymerases (Pols). To elucidate the means by which replication through this DNA lesion is mediated in eukaryotic cells, here we carry out genetic studies in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae treated with the alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate. From the studies presented here, we infer that replication through the 3meA lesion in yeast cells can be mediated by the action of three Rad6-Rad18-dependent pathways that include translesion synthesis (TLS) by Polη or -ζ and an Mms2-Ubc13-Rad5-dependent pathway which presumably operates via template switching. We also express human Pols ι and κ in yeast cells and show that they too can mediate replication through the 3meA lesion in yeast cells, indicating a high degree of evolutionary conservation of the mechanisms that control TLS in yeast and human cells. We discuss these results in the context of previous observations that have been made for the roles of Pols η, ι, and κ in promoting replication through the minor-groove N2-dG adducts.

AimsDNA methylation has its distribution influenced by DNA demethylation processes with the catalytic conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has been associated with epigenetic dysregulation of genes related to DNA repair system, chronic immune response and cell cycle.MethodsWe evaluated the tissue DNA methylation/hydroxymethylation in bone marrow trephine biopsies of 73 patients with MDS, trying to correlate with the mRNA expression of 21 genes (POLH, POLL, REV3L, POLN, POLQ, POLI, POLK, IRF-1, IRF-2, IRF-3, IRF-4, IRF-5, IRF6, IRF-7, IRF-8,IRF-9, MAD2, CDC20, AURKA, AURKB and TPX2).ResultsThe M-score (5mC) was significantly higher in patients with chromosomal abnormalities than patients with normal karyotype (95% CI –27.127779 to –2.368020; p=0.022). We observed a higher 5mC/5hmC ratio in patients classified as high-risk subtypes compared with low-risk subtypes (95% CI –72.922115 to –1.855662; p=0.040) as well as patients with hypercellular bone marrow compared with patients with normocellular/hypocellular bone marrow (95% CI –69.189259 to –0.511828; p=0.047) and with the presence of dyserythropoiesis (95% CI 17.077703 to 51.331388; p=0.001). DNA pols with translesion activity are significantly influenced by methylation. As 5mC immunoexpression increases, the expressions of POLH (r=−0.816; r2 =0.665; p=0.000), POLQ (r=−0.790; r2=0.624; p=0.001), PCNA (r=−0.635; r2=0.403; p=0.020), POLK (r=−0.633; r2=0.400; p=0.036 and REV1 (r=−0.578; r2=0.334; p=0.049) decrease.ConclusionsOur results confirm that there is an imbalance in the DNA methylation in MDS, influencing the development of chromosomal abnormalities which may be associated with the low expression of DNA polymerases with translesion synthesis polymerases activity.
