Research Summary
Dr. DeWeese has continued study of the role played by both Msh2 and GSTP1 in cellular oxidative damage tolerance. Previous studies performed by Dr. DeWeeses laboratory have revealed that inactivation of alleles encoding the DNA mismatch repair enzyme, Msh2, result in enhanced survival following exposure to oxidative damage inflicted by protracted, low-dose ionizing radiation, accumulation of potentially mutagenic oxidized DNA bases, and increased mutation frequency. As an example of his recent work, Dr. DeWeese has expanded his study to other, more physiologically relevant oxidant stresses, including hypoxia. In this work, Dr. DeWeese has shown that exposure of mouse ES cells with inactivated Msh2 alleles to a hypoxia/reoxygenation event does not induce significant cell death, but it does induce a tenfold increase in the appearance of Hprt-mutant subclones. Moreover, Dr. DeWeese has identified a hot-spot for hypoxia-induced mutations in the coding region of the murine Hprt gene. These data extend Dr. DeWeeses previous observations by revealing that Msh2 may be a general sensor of genomic DNA oxidant injury and that hypoxia can be a significant mutagenic stress in the face of altered DNA mismatch repair.
Dr. DeWeese also continues to perform experiments with important clinical translation potential. These have included in vitro and in vivo experiments using human prostate cancer cells combining a replication-restricted, PSA-selective oncolytic adenoviral vector with radiation. These experiments reveal a real and significant mathematical synergy between this vector and radiation, with at least a sixfold increase in tumor control over that expected if the two therapies were simply additive. Other experiments performed by Dr. DeWeese and his collaborators revealed that one mechanism of this synergy includes radiation-induced enhancement of viral vectors. These data, combined with results from Dr. DeWeeses recently completed Phase I study, provide the rationale for clinical translation of a combination of this replication-restricted, PSA-selective oncolytic adenoviral vector and radiation to the clinic to treat men with newly diagnosed, clinically localized prostate cancer.
In the search for other unique and clinically translatable methods of augmenting tumor radiation response, Dr. DeWeese is systematically studying a new method of disrupting cellular protein expression, using expression of unique, plasmid-based siRNA to silence genes that produce proteins involved in DNA double-strand break repair. As cellular radiation inflicts significant DNA double-strand breaks, modulation of double-strand break repair holds the promise of increased radiation-induced cell death. It is well known that cells and animals with inactivation of DNA-PKcs alleles or cells treated with inhibitors of DNA-PKcs exhibit enhanced radiation sensitization. Dr. DeWeese's lab has also developed siRNA targets to ATM and ATR, similarly important in the repair of genotoxic stress resulting from radiation and chemotherapy. This work is proceeding rapidly and has been expanded to include incorporation of these siRNA constructs into an adenoviral-based delivery system.
