After validation, miR-31 and miR-30c were significantly deregulated by a decrease of expression. In 52 patients expression analyses of the 8 microRNAs in matched pre-treatment and post-treatment samples showed a significant decrease for all microRNAs (p < 0.05) after treatment.

Such stressed replication forks can be conservatively repaired and restarted using homologous recombination (HR) or non-conservatively repaired using micro-homology mediated end joining (MMEJ). HR repair of stressed forks is initiated by 5' end resection near the fork junction, which permits 3' single strand invasion of a homologous template for fork restart. This 5' end resection also prevents classical non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ), a competing pathway for DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. Unopposed NHEJ can cause genome instability during replication stress by abnormally fusing free double strand ends that occur as unstable replication fork repair intermediates. We show here that the previously uncharacterized Exonuclease/Endonuclease/Phosphatase Domain-1 (EEPD1) protein is required for initiating repair and restart of stalled forks. EEPD1 is recruited to stalled forks, enhances 5' DNA end resection, and promotes restart of stalled forks. Interestingly, EEPD1 directs DSB repair away from cNHEJ, and also away from MMEJ, which requires limited end resection for initiation. EEPD1 is also required for proper ATR and CHK1 phosphorylation, and formation of gamma-H2AX, RAD51 and phospho-RPA32 foci. Consistent with a direct role in stalled replication fork cleavage, EEPD1 is a 5' overhang nuclease in an obligate complex with the end resection nuclease Exo1 and BLM. EEPD1 depletion causes nuclear and cytogenetic defects, which are made worse by replication stress. Depleting 53BP1, which slows cNHEJ, fully rescues the nuclear and cytogenetic abnormalities seen with EEPD1 depletion. These data demonstrate that genome stability during replication stress is maintained by EEPD1, which initiates HR and inhibits cNHEJ and MMEJ."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pgen.1005675"],["dc.identifier.isi","000368518400016"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26684013"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12699"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/35210"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Public Library Science"],["dc.relation.issn","1553-7404"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","EEPD1 Rescues Stressed Replication Forks and Maintains Genome Stability by Promoting End Resection and Homologous Recombination Repair"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The HSP90-inhibitor ganetespib showed benefit in advanced clinical trials. This raises the need to identify the molecular determinants of treatment response. We tested the efficacy of ganetespib on a series of colorectal cancer (CRC)-derived cell lines and correlated their sensitivities with comprehensive gene expression analysis. Notably, the drug concentration required for 50% growth inhibition (IC50) varied up to 70-fold (from 36 to 2500 nM) between different cell lines. Correlating cell line-specific IC(50)s with the corresponding gene expression patterns revealed a strong association between ganetespib resistance (IC50 > 500 nM) and high expression of the UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1A (UGT1A) gene cluster. Moreover, CRC tumor samples showed a comparable distribution of UGT1A expression levels. The members of the UGT1A gene family are known as drug-conjugating liver enzymes involved in drug excretion, but their function in tumor cells is hardly understood. Chemically unrelated HSP90 inhibitors, for example, 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), did not show correlation of drug sensitivities with UGT1A levels, whereas the ganetespib-related compound NVP-AUY922 did. When the most ganetespib-resistant cell line, HT29, was treated with ganetespib, the levels of HSP90 clients were unaffected. However, HT29 cells became sensitized to the drug, and HSP90 client proteins were destabilized by ganetespib upon siRNA-mediated UGT1A knockdown. Conversely, the most ganetespib-sensitive cell lines HCT116 and SW480 became more tolerant toward ganetespib upon UGT1A overexpression. Mechanistically, ganetespib was rapidly glucuronidated and excreted in resistant but not in sensitive CRC lines. We conclude that CRC cell-expressed UGT1A inactivates ganetespib and other resorcinolic Hsp90 inhibitors by glucuronidation, which renders the drugs unable to inhibit Hsp90 and thereby abrogates their biological activity. UGT1A levels in tumor tissues may be a suitable predictive biomarker to stratify CRC patients for ganetespib treatment."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access Publikationsfonds 2014"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/cddis.2014.378"],["dc.identifier.isi","000343162000012"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25210794"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/10891"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/32445"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","2041-4889"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 3.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0"],["dc.title","UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1A expression levels determine the response of colorectal cancer cells to the heat shock protein 90 inhibitor ganetespib"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The Wnt-transcription factor, TCF7L2, is overexpressed in primary rectal cancers that are resistant to chemoradiotherapy and TCF7L2 mediates resistance to chemoradiotherapy. However, it is unclear whether the resistance is mediated by a TCF7L2 inherent mechanism or Wnt/β-catenin signaling in general. Here, inhibition of β-catenin by siRNAs or a small-molecule inhibitor (XAV-939) resulted in sensitization of colorectal cancer cells to chemoradiotherapy. To investigate the potential role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in controlling therapeutic responsiveness, nontumorigenic RPE-1 cells were stimulated with Wnt-3a, a physiologic ligand of Frizzled receptors, which increased resistance to chemoradiotherapy. This effect could be recapitulated by overexpression of a degradation-resistant mutant of β-catenin (S33Y), also boosting resistance of RPE-1 cells to chemoradiotherapy, which was, conversely, abrogated by siRNA-mediated silencing of β-catenin. Consistent with these findings, higher expression levels of active β-catenin were observed as well as increased TCF/LEF reporter activity in SW1463 cells that evolved radiation resistance due to repeated radiation treatment. Global gene expression profiling identified several altered pathways, including PPAR signaling and other metabolic pathways, associated with cellular response to radiation. In summary, aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling not only regulates the development and progression of colorectal cancer, but also mediates resistance of rectal cancers to chemoradiotherapy.Implications: Targeting Wnt/β-catenin signaling or one of the downstream pathways represents a promising strategy to increase response to chemoradiotherapy.

While CD133 has been identified as a prognostic marker in rectal cancers after preoperative radiochemotherapy (RCT) it was recently characterized as a very unspecific feature for colorectal cancer stem cells. We therefore analyzed the association between CD133 expression and mutations in the proto-oncogenes K-Ras and PI3K in rectal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant RCT. Methods: CD133 expression was evaluated immunhistochemically in pre-treatment biopsies and surgical specimens of 128 patients with locally advanced rectal cancers (cUICC II/III) treated with preoperative RCT within the phase-III German Rectal Cancer Trials. K-Ras mutations were analyzed by sequencing of exons 1, 2, and 3. PI3K mutations were detected by sequencing the p110α subunit (PIK3CA) and correlated with histopathologic parameters, tumor regression and survival. Results: CD133 expression was significantly associated with mutations in the K-Ras gene in both pre-treatment biopsies and post-treatment tumor specimens in uni- and multivariate analyses. However, no significant correlation was observed between CD133 and PI3K mutations. Post-treatment CD133 levels were correlated with neoadjuvant RCT (50.4 Gy/5-FU vs. 50.4 Gy/5-FU+Ox) and tumor regression grading. Anyway, there was no significant association between pre- and post-treatment CD133 expression and disease-free survival. Conclusions: CD133 expression levels are strongly associated with mutations in the K-Ras proto-oncogene in rectal cancers before and after preoperative RCT. Our results strengthen the hypothesis that CD133 is not a specific marker for colorectal stem cells but might be integrated in proliferation pathways like the ras-raf axis."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1200/jco.2013.31.4_suppl.400"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/110058"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-575"],["dc.relation.eissn","1527-7755"],["dc.relation.issn","0732-183X"],["dc.title","Association of CD133 expression levels with the k-ras mutation status in rectal cancers before and after preoperative radiochemotherapy."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Results: Thirty-six miRNAs were identified to significantly correlate with sensitivity to CRT (Q < 0.05) including miR-320a and other miRNAs involved in the MAPK-, TGF- and Wnt-pathway. Transfection of selected miRNAs (let-7g, miR-132, miR-224, miR-320a) each induced a shift of sensitivity. High expression of let-7g was associated with a good prognosis in rectal cancer patients (P = 0.03). Conclusions: This is the first report of a miRNA expression signature for in vitro chemoradiosensitivity of cell lines. Many of the identified miRNAs have not been linked to the response to CRT and may represent potential molecular targets to sensitize resistant cancers. If further validated, let7g expression may serve as predictive biomarker. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
