项目摘要

We sought to analyze molecular mechanism of immunodeficiency caused by defective DNA damage response working on cells from disorders including ataxia-telangiectasia (AT), Artemis deficiency, and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS1 deficiency).We have so far revealed that S645 of Artemis is phosphorylated by ATM upon DNA damaging reagent. Through this study, we have shown 70-kDa molecule is associated with Artemis and controls stability of Artemis. The interaction requires phosphorylation of Artemis, but the site is not in the hitherto-known region. A new role of Artemis was also demonstrated. Endonuclease activity of Artemis was shown to be required for double strand DNA break when DNA replication is stalled in a ragging strand. This process was dependent on ATM. Further investigation is currently in progress.DNA damage response (DDR) is absolutely required for diversification of immune receptors; and disrupted DDR during the process leads to chromosomal aberration. We analyzed involvement of the DDR molecules in tumorigenesis, and found that DDR is activated in pre-malignant stage. The loss of DDR led to malignant transformation of the cells with mutation in p53 in some cases (Leukemia 2006).ATM and Ku70/80 were shown to be degraded upon oxidative stress leading to cellular apoptosis (Ann NY Acad Sci 2006, Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2008)。 The cells escaped from apoptosis may lead to acquisition of chromosomal aberration.We diagnosed 14 patients with AT, 2 DNA ligase IV deficiency, 2 Mre11deficiency (ATLD) and one Cernunnos deficiency. Finally, we carried out the first nation-wide survey for AT. We observed phenotypic variety between sibling cases with AT. Hyper-IgM was noted in 10% of the patients indicating involvement of ATM in class switch recombination.

我们试图分析由共济失调毛细血管扩张症 (AT)、Artemis 缺陷和奈梅亨断裂综合征 (NBS1 缺陷) 等疾病的细胞 DNA 损伤反应缺陷引起的免疫缺陷的分子机制。迄今为止，我们已经发现 Artemis 的 S645 被磷酸化通过 ATM 对 DNA 损伤试剂的研究，我们发现 70-kDa 分子与 Artemis 相关并控制 Artemis 的稳定性。 Artemis 的磷酸化，但该位点不在迄今为止已知的区域，还证明了当 DNA 复制在一条杂乱的链中时，Artemis 的核酸内切酶活性是双链 DNA 断裂所必需的。进一步的研究正在进行中。DNA损伤反应（DDR）对于免疫受体的多样化是绝对必要的，并且在此过程中破坏DDR会导致染色体。我们分析了DDR分子在肿瘤发生中的参与情况，发现DDR在癌前阶段被激活，在某些情况下，DDR的缺失会导致p53突变的细胞发生恶性转化（Leukemia 2006）。 /80 显示在氧化应激下降解，导致细胞凋亡（Ann NY Acad Sci 2006，Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2008）。逃避凋亡的细胞可能导致获得性染色体畸变。我们诊断了14例AT患者，2例DNA连接酶IV缺陷，2例Mre11缺陷（ATLD）和1例Cernunnos缺陷。最后，我们进行了第一次全国范围的AT调查。我们观察到 10% 的 AT 兄弟姐妹之间存在表型变异，表明 ATM 参与了类别转换重组。
