The cellular response to DNA damage is critical for maintenance of genomic integrity and inhibition of tumorigenesis. Mutations or aberrant expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase EDD have been observed in a number of carcinomas and we recently reported that EDD modulates activity of the DNA damage checkpoint kinase, CHK2. Here, we demonstrate that EDD is necessary for G(1)/S and intra S phase DNA damage checkpoint activation and for the maintenance of G(2)/M arrest after double strand DNA breaks. Defective checkpoint activation in EDD-depleted cells led to radio-resistant DNA synthesis, premature entry into mitosis, accumulation of polyploid cells, and cell death via mitotic catastrophe. In addition to decreased CHK2 activation in EDD-depleted cells, the expression of several key cell cycle mediators including Cdc25A/C and E2F1 was altered, suggesting that these checkpoint defects may be both CHK2-dependent and -independent. These data support a role for EDD in the maintenance of genomic stability,

The DNA replication checkpoint is a complex signal transduction pathway, present in all eukaryotic cells, that functions to maintain genomic integrity and cell viability when DNA replication is perturbed. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe the major effector of the replication checkpoint is the protein kinase Cds1. Activation of Cds1 is known to require the upstream kinase Rad3 and the mediator Mrc1, but the biochemical mechanism of activation is not well understood. We report that the replication checkpoint is activated in two stages. In the first stage, Mrc1 recruits Cds1 to stalled replication forks by interactions between the FHA domain of Cds1 and specific phosphorylated Rad3 consensus sites in Mrc1. Cds1 is then primed for activation by Rad3-dependent phosphorylation. In the second stage, primed Cds1 molecules dimerize via phospho-specific interactions mediated by the FHA domains and are activated by autophosphorylation. This two-stage activation mechanism for the replication checkpoint allows for rapid

TY - JOUR. T1 - Undamaged DNA transmits and enhances DNA damage checkpoint signals in early embryos. AU - Peng, Aimin. AU - Lewellyn, Andrea L.. AU - Maller, James L.. PY - 2007/10/1. Y1 - 2007/10/1. N2 - In Xenopus laevis embryos, the midblastula transition (MBT) at the 12th cell division marks initiation of critical developmental events, including zygotic transcription and the abrupt inclusion of gap phases into the cell cycle. Interestingly, although an ionizing radiation-induced checkpoint response is absent in pre-MBT embryos, introduction of a threshold amount of undamaged plasmid or sperm DNA allows a DNA damage checkpoint response to be activated. We show here that undamaged threshold DNA directly participates in checkpoint signaling, as judged by several dynamic changes, including H2AX phosphorylation, ATM phosphorylation and loading onto chromatin, and Chk1, Chk2 phosphorylation and release from nuclear DNA. These responses on physically separate threshold DNA require γ-H2AX and are ...

VANCOUVER, Sept. 27, 2016- ProNAi Licenses Oncology Drug Targeting DNA Damage Response Checkpoint Kinase 1 (Chk1) from CRT Pioneer Fund, UK.

Research into inhibitors of the protein kinases controlling the cellular response to DNA damage has reached an exciting stage, particularly for the checkpoint kinases CHK1 and CHK2. Selective inhibitors are now being tested in clinical trials in cancer patients. In this review, we highlight recent data from cellular and in vivo preclinical models that provide insight into the clinical contexts for checkpoint kinase inhibition (e.g. the timing of treatment and what type of inhibitor would be most appropriate). Although it has been shown that CHK1 inhibition potentiates the efficacy of various DNA-damaging therapies, the context for selective CHK2 inhibition is not yet as well defined. Distinct effects of selective CHK1 or CHK2 inhibition are observed when combined with DNA-damaging agents. It has also been shown that both CHK1 and CHK2 inhibitors potentiate the effects of other molecular targeted therapeutics [e.g. poly(ADPribose) polymerase inhibitors]. We also consider the single-agent activity ...

Although p53-deficiency is a common factor in many cancers and loss of p53 activity contributes to the inappropriate survival of cells that have DNA damage, in vitro studies suggest that there are p53-independent cell death pathways. To facilitate the discovery of such p53-independent pathways, Sidi et al. targeted kinases involved in the DNA damage response with morpholino antisense oligonucleotides in zebrafish embryos defective for p53 activity and found that when the kinase Chk1 was knocked down, cell death (detected with acridine orange) due to irradiation was restored to that of wild-type embryos exposed to irradiation. A specific inhibitor of Chk1 (Gö6976), but not inhibitors for the DNA damage checkpoint kinases ATM or Chk2, also restored irradiation-induced cell death in p53-deficient zebrafish embryos. Although the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of apoptosis were present in the irradiated p53e7/e7;chk1MO embryos (DNA fragmentation, chromatin compaction, and ...

Rad9 functions in the DNA-damage checkpoint pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In whole-cell extracts, Rad9 is found in large, soluble complexes, which have functions in amplifying the checkpoint signal. The two main soluble forms of Rad9 complexes that are found in cells exposed to DNA-damaging treatments were purified to homogeneity. Both of these Rad9 complexes contain the Ssa1 and/or Ssa2 chaperone proteins, suggesting a function for these proteins in checkpoint regulation. Consistent with this possibility, genetic experiments indicate redundant functions for SSA1 and SSA2 in survival, G2/M-checkpoint regulation, and phosphorylation of both Rad9 and Rad53 after irradiation with ultraviolet light. Ssa1 and Ssa2 can now be considered as novel checkpoint proteins that are likely to be required for remodelling Rad9 complexes during checkpoint-pathway activation.

Cancer treatments such as radiotherapy and most of the chemotherapies act by damaging DNA of cancer cells. Upon DNA damage, cells stop proliferation at cell cycle checkpoints, which provides them time for DNA repair. Inhibiting the checkpoint allows entry to mitosis despite the presence of DNA damage and can lead to cell death. Importantly, as cancer cells exhibit increased levels of endogenous DNA damage due to an excessive replication stress, inhibiting the checkpoint kinases alone could act as a directed anti-cancer therapy. Here, we review the current status of inhibitors targeted towards the checkpoint effectors and discuss mechanisms of their actions in killing of cancer cells.

Cells use biochemical signaling mechanisms known as checkpoints to monitor the status of the cell so that cell division occurs only when conditions allow for successful mitosis. One such checkpoint allows cell division to occur only if DNA replication is complete and no active replication forks are present. However, Torres-Rosell et al. (see the Perspective by Weinert) describe experiments in which uncompleted replication of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes does not prevent cells from proceeding into anaphase. Thus, at least in the scenario studied, in which yeast bear mutations in the genes encoding the Smc5 and Smc6 proteins (which function as a heterodimer in DNA repair), the delayed replication of rDNA did not trigger a checkpoint that blocks progression of the cells into mitosis..

with ATM or ATR activation leads to induction of p21Waf1 and cell loss of life in the jnk2 knockout cells. We then centered our studies more closely on the DNA replication element CDT1. CDT1 expression is essential for replication fork development throughout S period. Geminin inhibits CDT1 to stall replication forks and allow G2/M transit. CDT1 degradation by proteases also facilitates this procedure. Lack of CDT1 inhibition/degradation or overexpression of CDT1 results in re-replication in some mobile strains. In other mobile strains, mobile cycle examine factors inhibit re-replication by activating ATR/Chk1 responses. Collapsed replication forks or overt re-replication can direct to double strand breaks. ATM/p53 induction and increased p21Waf1 expression are responses that stop or restore DNA hurt [24]. As in preceding reports, cells have been serum starved and then stimulated with FBS. Endogenous Similarly, CDT1 expression was evaluated in a time dependent trend alongside with p53 Ser15 ...

Now, what factors affect checkpoint_age? When we execute queries that change pages (i.e., INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), we perform writes to the log, we change pages, and checkpoint_age is growing. When we perform flushing of changed pages, checkpoint_age is going down.. So that means the main way we have to keep checkpoint_age within point T is to change the number of pages being flushed per second. That way, we can keep checkpoint_age down.. If this doesnt help-and checkpoint_age keeps growing beyone T toward async-we have a second control mechanism: We can add a delay into INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations. This way we prevent checkpoint_age from growing and reaching async.. To summarize, the idea of our algorithm is : We keep checkpoint_age within point T by increasing or decreasing the number of pages flushed per second. If checkpoint_age continues to grow, we add throttling to prevent it. The throttling depends on the position of checkpoint_age - the closer to async, the bigger the ...

A subtype of familial breast cancer that includes colorectal cancer was recognized by Lynch et al. already in 1972 [19] and recently the CHEK2 1100delC mutation was proposed to represent a low-penetrant breast cancer susceptibility allele [10, 11]. This variant has been identified at a particularly high frequency (18%) in families with a hereditary breast- and colorectal cancer phenotype [16]. Since development of multiple primary tumors is a hallmark of hereditary cancer and a high frequency of the CHEK2 1100delC had been described in hereditary breast and colorectal families, we assessed the contribution of this variant to the development of double primary breast and colorectal cancer in a population-based patient material. Among the 75 patients with metachronous tumors of the breast and the colorectum successfully studied, 2 (2.5%) carried the CHEK2 1100delC mutation compared to 1% in the control group [18]. These frequencies were not significantly different (p = 0.26), but the small size of ...

Faithful duplication and segregation of undamaged DNA is critical to the survival of all organisms and prevention of oncogenesis in multicellular organisms. To ensure inheritance of intact DNA, cells rely on checkpoints. Checkpoints alter cellular processes in the presence of DNA damage preventing cell cycle transitions until replication is completed or DNA damage is repaired. Several checkpoints are specific to S-phase. The S-M replication checkpoint prevents mitosis in the presence of unreplicated DNA. Rather than outright halting replication, the S-phase DNA damage checkpoint slows replication in response to DNA damage. This checkpoint utilizes two general mechanisms to slow replication. First, this checkpoint prevents origin firing thus limiting the number of replication forks traversing the genome in the presence of damaged DNA. Second, this checkpoint slows the progression of the replication forks. Inhibition of origin firing in response to DNA damage is well established, however when this thesis

In response to DNA damage, the eukaryotic genome surveillance system activates a checkpoint kinase cascade. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, checkpoint protein Crb2 is essential for DNA damage-induced activation of downstream effector kinase Chk1. The mechanism by which Crb2 mediates Chk1 activation is unknown. Here, we show that Crb2 recruits Chk1 to double-strand breaks (DSBs) through a direct physical interaction. A pair of conserved SQ/TQ motifs in Crb2, which are consensus phosphorylation sites of upstream kinase Rad3, is required for Chk1 recruitment and activation. Mutating both of these motifs renders Crb2 defective in activating Chk1. Tethering Crb2 and Chk1 together can rescue the SQ/TQ mutations, suggesting that the main function of these phosphorylation sites is promoting interactions between Crb2 and Chk1. A 19-amino-acid peptide containing these SQ/TQ motifs is sufficient for Chk1 binding in vitro when one of the motifs is phosphorylated. Remarkably, the same ...

In fiscal year 2008 thirty-nine tactical checkpoints were in operation. Tactical checkpoints lack permanent buildings, and support permanent checkpoints by monitoring and inspecting traffic on secondary roads that the Border Patrol determined are likely to be used by individuals in the country illegally or smugglers to evade apprehension at permanent checkpoints. A tactical checkpoint might consist of vehicles, traffic cones, signs, a portable water supply, a cage for canines (if deployed), and portable rest facilities.[2]. Due to Congressional restrictions against the funding of permanent checkpoints in the Tucson sector, all of its checkpoints are tactical checkpoints. These were required to relocate every seven days, amended to every 14 days in 2005. Due to the need for road shoulder space and restrictions on placing checkpoints near curves, the number of sites is limited, and the relocation in practice means that checkpoints are periodically shut down. In 2005, the median tactical ...

The frequency of the CHEK2 1100delC among colorectal cancer patients was 2.6% (17/662). The proportions were 1.3% (2/149) and 2.9% (15/513) in familial and non-familial cases, respectively. These frequencies are not significantly higher (odds ratio (OR) 1.393, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.775 to 2.504, p=0.266, for all cases; OR 0.720, 95% CI 0.172 to3.020, p=1.000 for familial cases and OR 1.592, 95% CI 0.863 to 2.939, p=0.134 for non-familial cases) than in the normal population, compared with the geographically adjusted population frequency of 1.9%. These results suggest that the 1100delC variant is not significantly associated with familial colorectal cancer or with colorectal cancer risk in the population; however, larger studies would be needed to detect or exclude any slight increase with a high confidence. In the group of non-familial colorectal cancer cases, there was no difference in allele frequency among those patients with a personal or family history of breast cancer (3/104, ...

In this report, we have compared cell cycle responses of the human breast carcinoma MA-11 cell line to ionizing radiation and HDAC inhibition. Whereas accumulation of G2-M phase cells, as well as the preceding repression of the genes encoding the G2 phase regulators Plk1 and cyclin B1, after irradiation required intact G2 checkpoint signaling through the checkpoint kinase CHK1, the similar phenotypic changes observed with HDAC inhibition did not. MA-11 cells did not show radiation-dependent induction of the G1 phase inhibitor p21, indicative of a defective G1 checkpoint and possibly consistent with the base substitution detected in the tumor suppressor TP53 gene. Induction of p21, however, was observed with HDAC inhibition. Following pretreatment with the HDAC inhibitor, the efficiency of clonogenic regrowth after irradiation was reduced, which is in accordance with the concept of increased probability of mitotic cell death when the chromatin structure is disrupted.. Recent reports have shown ...

SRA737 is a highly selective, orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of Checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1), a key regulator of important cell cycle checkpoints and central mediator of the DNA Damage Response network. In cancer cells, replication stress induced by oncogenes (e.g., MYC and RAS) or genetic mutations in DNA repair machinery (e.g. BRCA1 and FA) combined with loss of function in tumor suppressors (e.g., TP53 and ATM) results in persistent DNA damage and genomic instability leading to an increased dependency on Chk1 for survival. Targeted inhibition of Chk1 by SRA737 may therefore be synthetically lethal to these cancer cells.. The study has been designed to investigate the safety and tolerability of SRA737; to determine the pharmacokinetics of SRA737; to identify the optimal dose, schedule, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD); to obtain preliminary evidence of activity; and to evaluate preliminary efficacy in prospectively-screened, genetically-selected subjects..

Che-1 is a RNA polymerase II binding protein involved in the regulation of gene transcription, and in response to DNA damage promotes p53 transcription. In this study, we investigated whether Che-1 regulates mutant p53 expression. We found that Che-1 is required for sustaining mutant p53 expression in several cancer cell lines, and Che-1 depletion by siRNA induces apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, loss of Che-1 activates DNA damage checkpoint response and induces transactivation of p73. Therefore, these findings suggest a new therapeutic approach that allowing simultaneous modulation of p73 and mutant p53 levels might be used to target the large fraction of human tumors harboring p53 mutations..

In response to genotoxic stress, the DNA damage response, which is governed primarily by the ATM-CHK2, ATR-CHK1, and p38-MK2 (also known as MAPKAPK2) checkpoint effector pathways, becomes activated in order to slow cell-cycle progression and allow time for DNA repair. The CHK1 and MK2 pathways converge on inhibition of cell division cycle 25 (CDC25)-mediated activation of cyclin-dependent kinases, prompting Dietlein and colleagues to hypothesize that simultaneous small-molecule inhibition of CHK1 and MK2 may synergistically silence the DNA damage checkpoint. To systematically characterize combinatorial drug-inhibitor relationships, 96 cancer cell lines were screened with various concentrations of the CHK1 inhibitor PF477736 and the MK2 inhibitor PF3644022, and PreCISE (predictor of chemical inhibitor synergistic effects) software was used to calculate synergism scores based on GI50 drug curves. Synergistic effects between PF477736 and PF3644022 were observed in 33 of 96 cell lines and were ...

p53 is a critical regulator of both the G1 and G2 cellular checkpoints (Bunz et al., 1998). Given that mutations of p53 are observed in approximately 50% of tumors (Hollstein et al., 1999), which are therefore defective in the G1 checkpoint, selective inhibition of the G2 checkpoint may be useful in cancer therapy by enhancing the effects of DNA-damaging agents (Nurse, 1997; Roberge et al., 1998). G2 inhibitors, including caffeine, staurosporine, and UCN-01, and selective Chk1 inhibitors have been shown to enhance the cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging agents (Bunch and Eastman, 1996; Bunz et al., 1998; Roberge et al., 1998; Hollstein et al., 1999; Tse et al., 2007). The observation that G2 inhibitors enhance the effects of DNA-damaging agents supports the rationale for using a specific inhibitor of Chk2 in cells defective in the G1 checkpoint. Moreover, specific Chk2 inhibitors may reduce the side effects commonly associated with chemo/radiotherapy as they may inhibit the p53-induced apoptotic ...
