Photosensitized one-electron oxidation of DNA has attracted much interest because it causes oxidative damage which leads to mutation, and because it is involved in the basic mechanism of photodynamic therapy. In the present article, we describe the mechanistic study of photosensitized DNA damage, especially addressing the kinetics of hole transfer by adenine(A)-hopping and its effect on the DNA damage. The combination of the transient absorption measurement and DNA damage quantification by high-performance liquid chromatography clearly demonstrate that the yield of the DNA damage correlates well with the lifetime of the charge-separated state caused by A-hopping, showing that hole transfer helps DNA damage. These findings led us to propose a new method to accomplish the efficient DNA damage using a combination of two-color, two-laser irradiation.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Widespread contamination of the brain with malignant cells is a predominant feature of glioblastoma (GBM) and fatal brainstem infiltration is frequently observed at autopsy. Whilst radiotherapy improves survival, irradiation increases GBM cell invasion, resulting in sublethal dose to cells migrating outside the irradiated volume. Tumour cell invasion should be a therapeutic priority if survival is to be improved. The responsible molecular mechanisms are key to improving outcomes but remain enigmatic. Ataxia telangiectasia and rad3-related (ATR) is a DNA damage response (DDR) kinase involved in DNA replication stress (RS) response and is an established therapeutic target for GBM. In this study we demonstrate a novel role for ATR kinase in facilitating malignant cell invasion. METHODS AND RESULTS: Invading margins of human GBM samples demonstrated increased pATR expression relative to core. Live cell imaging demonstrated a reduction in cell velocity following ATR inhibition (ATRi; VE822) or ATR siRNA, and a retraction defect was evident in vitro. Extensive cytoplasmic vacuolation occurred following ATRi or siRNA which were single walled structures on electron microscopy which could engulf high molecular weight dextran, suggesting blockade of macropinosome processing. Live cell imaging with GFP-integrin α5 and integrin recycling assays showed integrin sequestration within macropinosomes and reduced integrin internalisation respectively. Interrogation of a published ‘ATR interactome’ revealed ATR targets with functions in endocytic vesicle trafficking. Intravital in vivo imaging of murine xenograft tumours confirmed vacuolation and dextran uptake following ATRi, whilst a further study demonstrated reduced invading tumour cells following ATRi in intracranial xenografts. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate a novel role for ATR in facilitating macropinocytic vesicle trafficking and integrin internalisation. ATRi results in a profound motility defect in vitro and in vivo. ATR inhibitors are entering early phase trials as radiation sensitisers and we propose that therapeutic benefit will extend beyond DNA damage potentiation.
