  • Nucleotide Metabolism oncogene induced senescence and cancer
    Cancer Letters, 2015
    Co-Authors: Katherine M. Aird, Rugang Zhang
    Abstract:

    Senescence is defined as a stable cell growth arrest. Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) occurs when an activated oncogene is expressed in a normal cell. OIS acts as a bona fide tumor suppressor mechanism by driving stable growth arrest of cancer progenitor cells harboring the initial oncogenic hit. OIS is often characterized by aberrant DNA replication and the associated DNA damage response. Nucleotides, in particular deoxyriboNucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs), are necessary for both DNA replication and repair. Imbalanced dNTP pools play a role in a number of human diseases, including during the early stages of cancer development. This review will highlight what is currently known about the role of decreased Nucleotide Metabolism in OIS, how Nucleotide Metabolism leads to transformation and tumor progression, and how this pathway can be targeted as a cancer therapeutic by inducing senescence of cancer cells.

  • suppression of Nucleotide Metabolism underlies the establishment and maintenance of oncogene induced senescence
    Cell Reports, 2013
    Co-Authors: Katherine M. Aird, Zhigang Tu, Gao Zhang, Azat Garipov, Benjamin G. Bitler, Stephan N. Wagner, Hua Li, Hong Wu, Meenhard Herlyn
    Abstract:

    Summary Oncogene-induced senescence is characterized by a stable cell growth arrest, thus providing a tumor suppression mechanism. However, the underlying mechanisms for this phenomenon remain unknown. Here, we show that a decrease in deoxyriboNucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) levels underlies oncogene-induced stable senescence-associated cell growth arrest. The decrease in dNTP levels is caused by oncogene-induced repression of riboNucleotide reductase subunit M2 (RRM2), a rate-limiting protein in dNTP synthesis. This precedes the senescence-associated cell-cycle exit and coincides with the DNA damage response. Consistently, RRM2 downregulation is both necessary and sufficient for senescence. Strikingly, suppression of Nucleotide Metabolism by RRM2 repression is also necessary for maintenance of the stable senescence-associated cell growth arrest. Furthermore, RRM2 repression correlates with senescence status in benign nevi and melanoma, and its knockdown drives senescence of melanoma cells. These data reveal the molecular basis whereby the stable growth arrest of oncogene-induced senescence is established and maintained through suppression of Nucleotide Metabolism.
