| Popis: | Simple Summary Cancer resistance to therapy continues to be the biggest challenge in treating patients. Targeting the mutagenic translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerase REV1 was previously shown to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy. In this study, we tested the ability of REV1 inhibitors to radiation therapy and observed a lack of radiosensitization. In addition, we observed REV1 inhibition to trigger an autophagy stress response. Because reduction of REV1 triggered autophagy and failed to radiosensitize cells, we hypothesize REV1 expression dynamics might link cancer cell response to radiation treatment through the potential induction of autophagy. Abstract Cancer therapy resistance is a persistent clinical challenge. Recently, inhibition of the mutagenic translesion synthesis (TLS) protein REV1 was shown to enhance tumor cell response to chemotherapy by triggering senescence hallmarks. These observations suggest REV1’s important role in determining cancer cell response to chemotherapy. Whether REV1 inhibition would similarly sensitize cancer cells to radiation treatment is unknown. This study reports a lack of radiosensitization in response to REV1 inhibition by small molecule inhibitors in ionizing radiation-exposed cancer cells. Instead, REV1 inhibition unexpectedly triggers autophagy, which is a known biomarker of radioresistance. We report a possible role of the REV1 TLS protein in determining cancer treatment outcomes depending upon the type of DNA damage inflicted. Furthermore, we discover that REV1 inhibition directly triggers autophagy, an uncharacterized REV1 phenotype, with a significant bearing on cancer treatment regimens. |
