Abstract:
:8-Chloro-cAMP and 8-chloro-adenosine (8-Cl-Ado) are known to inhibit proliferation of cancer cells by converting 8-Cl-Ado into an ATP analog, 8-chloro-ATP (8-Cl-ATP). Because type II topoisomerases (Topo II) are ATP-dependent, we infer that 8-Cl-Ado exposure might interfere with Topo II activities and DNA metabolism in cells. We found that 8-Cl-Ado exposure inhibited Topo II-catalytic activities in K562 cells, as revealed by decreased relaxation of the supercoiled pUC19 DNA and inhibited decatenation of the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA). In vitro assays showed that 8-Cl-ATP, but not 8-Cl-Ado, could directly inhibit Topo IIalpha-catalyzed relaxation and decatenation of substrate DNA. Furthermore, 8-Cl-ATP inhibited Topo II-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis and increased salt-stabilized closed clamp. In addition, 8-Cl-Ado exposure decreased bromo-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation into DNA and led to enhanced DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) and to increased formation of gamma-H2AX nuclear foci in exposed K562 cells. Together, 8-Cl-Ado/8-Cl-ATP can inhibit Topo II activities in cells, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis and inducing DNA DSBs, which may contribute to 8-Cl-Ado-inhibited proliferation of cancers.
