Xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) is a well-known DNA damage recognition protein. Defects in XPC lead to carcinogenesis and progression of many human cancers. In the current study, we defined a novel, important role of XPC in preventing centrosome amplification during cisplatin-mediated DNA damage response. From experiments with human bladder cancer tissue, urothelial tissue from Xpc knockout mice and XPC-silenced cell lines, we found that attenuated XPC expression was associated with increased centrosome amplification in human bladder cancer. A significant increase in centrosome amplification was observed in XPC-silenced cells upon cisplatin treatment. XPC deficiency leads to reduced BRCA1 expression via upregulating its transcriptional repressor, Pit-1. The BRCA1 downregulation results in more DNA double strand breaks accumulation and persistent activation of the ATM-Chk1/Chk2 signaling, resulting in a prolonged G2/M arrest during which centrosome can over-duplicate and lead to centrosome amplification. XPC complementation in silenced cells could reduce Pit-1 expression, increase BRCA1 expression and recover the status of centrosome amplification. Our study reveals a new function for XPC in preventing chromosomal instability, providing new information on cancer chemotherapy and potential clinical significance for cancer management.
Human DNA polymerase iota (pol ι) possesses high error-prone DNA replication features and performs translesion DNA synthesis. It may be specialized and strictly regulated in normal mammalian cells. Dysregulation of pol ι may contribute to the acquisition of a mutator phenotype. However, there are few reports describing the transcription regulatory mechanism of pol ι, and there is controversy regarding its role in carcinogenesis. In this study, we performed the deletion and point-mutation experiment, EMSA, ChIP, RNA interference and western blot assay to prove that c-Jun activated by c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) regulates the transcription of pol ι in normal and cancer cells. Xeroderma pigmentosum group C protein (XPC) and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated related protein (ATR) promote early JNK activation in response to DNA damage and consequently enhance the expression of pol ι, indicating that the novel role of JNK signal pathway is involved in DNA damage response. Furthermore, associated with elevated c-Jun activity, the overexpression of pol ι is positively correlated with the clinical tumor grade in 97 bladder cancer samples and may contribute to the hypermutagenesis. The overexpressed pol ι-involved mutagenesis is dependent on JNK/c-Jun pathway in bladder cancer cells identifying by the special mutation spectra. Our results support the conclusion that dysregulation of pol ι by JNK/c-Jun is involved in carcinogenesis and offer a novel understanding of the role of pol ι or c-Jun in mutagenesis.
