Abstract The tumor suppressor p53 primarily functions as a mediator of DNA damage-induced cell death, thereby contributing to the efficacy of genotoxic anticancer therapeutics. Here, we show, on the contrary, that cancer cells can employ genotoxic stress-induced p53 to acquire treatment resistance through the production of the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin (IL)-6. Mechanistically, DNA damage, either repairable or irreparable, activates p53 and stimulates Caspase-2-mediated cleavage of its negative regulator mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) creating a positive feedback loop that leads to elevated p53 protein accumulation. p53 transcriptionally controls the major adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release channel pannexin 1 (Panx1), which directs IL-6 induction via a mechanism dependent on the extracellular ATP-activated purinergic P2 receptors as well as their downstream intracellular calcium (iCa2+)/PI3K/Akt/NF-ĸB signaling pathway. Thus, p53 silencing impairs Panx1 and IL-6 expression and renders cancer cells sensitive to genotoxic stress. Moreover, we confirm that IL-6 hampers the effectiveness of genotoxic anticancer agents by mitigating DNA damage, driving the expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family genes, and maintaining the migratory and invasive properties of cancer cells. Analysis of patient survival and relevant factors in lung cancer and pan-cancer cohorts supports the prognostic and clinical values of Panx1 and IL-6. Notably, IL-6 secreted by cancer cells during genotoxic treatments promotes the polarization of monocytic THP-1-derived macrophages into an alternative (M2-like) phenotype that exhibits impaired anti-survival activities but enhanced pro-metastatic effects on cancer cells as compared to nonpolarized macrophages. Our study reveals the precise mechanism for genotoxic-induced IL-6 and suggests that targeting p53-mediated IL-6 may improve the responsiveness of cancer cells to genotoxic anticancer therapy. |
