Cisplatin is a DNA targeting anticancer drug, yet its damaged gene loci have remained unclear. In the present work, combining affinity isolation and high throughput sequencing, we genome-widely mapped 17729 gene loci containing platination lesions, which mainly function as enzymes, transcription regulators, transporters and kinases, and of which 445 genes account for 71% of potential gene targets for cancer therapy reported in the literature. The most related core signaling pathway, disease and tissue toxicity of 7578 genes with an enrichment fold (EFG) of >12, where EFG refers to the ratio of total read counts of a gene detected in cells with and without cisplatin treatment, are sperm motility, cancer and hepatotoxicity with association P values of < 1×10−22. Among 616 kinase genes damaged by cisplatin, 427 are protein kinases which account for 82% of putative protein kinases, suggesting that cisplatin may act as broad-spectrum protein kinase inhibitor. Western Blot assays verified that expression of 8 important protein kinase genes was significantly reduced due to cisplatin damage. SPAG9 is closely related to 147 of 361 cancer diseases which the cisplatin damaged genes are associated with and was severely damaged by cisplatin. Given SPAG9 abundantly expresses JIP-4, a upstream mediator of protein kinase signaling, in testis, it may be responsible for the high sensitivity of testicular cancer to cisplatin, thus being a potential therapeutic target for precise treatment of testicular cancer. These findings provide novel insights into better understanding in molecular mechanism of anticancer activity and toxicity of cisplatin, more importantly inspire further studies in prioritizing gene targets for precise treatment of cancers. |
