Tumor specific modulation of KU70/80 DNA binding activity in breast and bladder human tumor biopsies

Oncogene

Abstract

The Ku70/80 heterodimer is the regulatory subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and its DNA-binding activity mediates DNA double-strand breaks repair. Although Ku80 was recently proposed as a caretaker gene involved in the control of genome integrity, no data are available on Ku70/80 DNA-binding activity in human tumors. Heterodimer DNA-binding activity and protein expression were assayed by electrophoretic-mobility-shift-assay (EMSA) and Western blot analysis, in nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts from eight breast, seven bladder primary tumors and three metastatic nodes from breast cancers. Corresponding normal tissues of the same patients were used as controls. Ten out of 15 tumors showed nuclear Ku-binding activity 3-10 times higher than in the normal tissues, irrespective of bladder or breast origin. Conversely, in 5/15 primary tumors and in all the metastatic nodes analysed, nuclear Ku-activity was 1.5-4.5-fold lower than in the corresponding normal tissues. Cytoplasmic heterodimer activity significantly differed between tumor and normal tissues, displaying a 2-10-fold increase in neoplastic tissues. Three different patterns combining both Ku expression and activity with tumor characteristics were identified....Continue Reading
