Role of the mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex in the cellular response to UV damage.

Abstract

Mammalian cells exhibit complex cellular responses to DNA damage, including cell cycle arrest, DNA repair and apoptosis. Defects in any one of these responses can result in carcinogenesis. Absence of the chromatin remodeling complex Swi/Snf is found in many instances of cancer, and we have investigated its role in the UV damage response. The human carcinoma cell line SW13 is deficient in Swi/Snf and is very sensitive to UV radiation. In contrast, SW13 cells with ectopic Brg1 expression regain active Swi/Snf and become significantly more resistant to UV radiation. Sensitivity to UV light correlates well with dramatic UV induced apoptosis in SW13 cells, but not in SW13 cells expressing Brg1. We show that SW13 cells synchronized at the G(1)/S border progress into S phase after UV irradiation, and this checkpoint deficiency is corrected after Brg1 expression is restored. Interestingly, Brg1 expression in SW13 cells restores expression of two DNA damage responsive genes, Gadd45a and p21. Furthermore, Gadd45a induction and p21 degradation were observed in the Brg1-expressing SW13 cells after UV irradiation. Our findings demonstrate that Swi/Snf protects cells against deleterious consequences of UV induced DNA damage. These results al...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Cancer Epigenetics Chromatin Complexes (Keystone)

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may or may not provide advantages for the cancer cells. This feed focuses on chromatin complexes and their role in cancer epigenetics.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
