Abstract:
:We have investigated the effects of three unrelated topoisomerase 2 inhibitors, genistein, adriamycin, and etoposide, on phosphorylation/activation of the checkpoint kinase Chk2 in normal or ATM-deficient (ATM-) human fibroblasts and in cells overexpressing a catalytically inactive ATR kinase. We demonstrate that genistein activates Chk2 in a strictly ATM-dependent manner, whereas etoposide and adriamycin can trigger Chk2 activation in long-term cultures of ATM- cells. Moreover, these two latter genotoxic compounds were found to activate Chk2 in fibroblasts expressing the dominant negative form of ATR. We also report a significant decrease in the accumulation in G2-phase of ATM- cells when genistein did not activate Chk2. In conclusion, our results strongly support that activation of Chk2 could be dependent on the type and/or extent of DNA damage and under the control of either an ATM-dependent or an ATM and, maybe, an ATR-independent pathway.
