PARP1 Suppression Drives ROS Resistance in Aneuploid Cancer Cells

Listed in NCBI GEO

Aneuploidy—defined as gains and losses of chromosomes—is frequently observed in cancer and has been implicated in promoting tumor progression and metastasis.

Description

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. By generating new models of aneuploidy, we found that aneuploidy confers remarkable resistance to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cell death.

This resistance is a general consequence of aneuploidy, independent of the specific chromosomes gained or lost. Mechanistically, Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1 (PARP1) is suppressed in aneuploid cells, which inhibits PARP1-mediated cell death after ROS (parthanatos). We validated aneuploidy-associated PARP1 suppression across 15 cell models and human tumors, with pronounced effects in metastatic tumors.

Importantly, decreased PARP1 levels promote tumor metastasis while increased PARP1 suppresses it. Through a genome-wide CRISPR screen and functional validation, we identified the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPB) as a critical mediator of PARP1 downregulation and ROS resistance in aneuploid cells. Furthermore, we found that lysosomal dysfunction serves as the upstream mediator of CEBPB activation in aneuploid cells.

We propose that aneuploidy-driven CEBPB activation promotes PARP1 suppression, fostering ROS resistance and cancer progression.
