Pancreatic cancer is associated with a poor prognosis despite multimodal treatments. To improve the efficacy of radiotherapy, the use of nanoscintillators is emerging. Made of high‐Z elements, they absorb X‐rays more efficiently than tissues and can locally enhance the radiation dose provided they have accumulated near tumor cells. This study focuses on the role of the coating, a key parameter that controls both in vitro and in vivo properties of nanoparticles, including their internalization, biocompatibility, and therapeutic efficacy. Polyethylene glycol and tripolyphosphate molecules are used to coat lanthanum fluoride nanoscintillators, and their properties are evaluated on pancreatic cancer models. The experiments demonstrate a higher internalization of the nanoparticles when coated with tripolyphosphate, in both 2D and 3D culture models, correlating with greater efficacy under X‐rays, which may be associated with higher radiation dose‐enhancement. The nanoparticles are also injected intravenously in healthy or tumor‐bearing mice in order to study their toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution. Despite a strong liver and spleen accumulation, especially for the tripolyphosphate‐coated nanoparticles, no toxicity is observed for either coating. Because they show promising radiation dose‐enhancement in vitro in both culture models and a limited toxicity in vivo, polyethylene glycol‐coated nanoparticles are good candidates for biomedical applications. more...

Abstract Background Perinatal exposure to titanium dioxide (TiO2), as a foodborne particle, may influence the intestinal barrier function and the susceptibility to develop inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) later in life. Here, we investigate the impact of perinatal foodborne TiO2 exposure on the intestinal mucosal function and the susceptibility to develop IBD-associated colitis. Pregnant and lactating mother mice were exposed to TiO2 until pups weaning and the gut microbiota and intestinal barrier function of their offspring was assessed at day 30 post-birth (weaning) and at adult age (50 days). Epigenetic marks was studied by DNA methylation profile measuring the level of 5-methyl-2′-deoxycytosine (5-Me-dC) in DNA from colic epithelial cells. The susceptibility to develop IBD has been monitored using dextran-sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model. Germ-free mice were used to define whether microbial transfer influence the mucosal homeostasis and subsequent exacerbation of DSS-induced colitis. Results In pregnant and lactating mice, foodborne TiO2 was able to translocate across the host barriers including gut, placenta and mammary gland to reach embryos and pups, respectively. This passage modified the chemical element composition of foetus, and spleen and liver of mothers and their offspring. We showed that perinatal exposure to TiO2 early in life alters the gut microbiota composition, increases the intestinal epithelial permeability and enhances the colonic cytokines and myosin light chain kinase expression. Moreover, perinatal exposure to TiO2 also modifies the abilities of intestinal stem cells to survive, grow and generate a functional epithelium. Maternal TiO2 exposure increases the susceptibility of offspring mice to develop severe DSS-induced colitis later in life. Finally, transfer of TiO2-induced microbiota dysbiosis to pregnant germ-free mice affects the homeostasis of the intestinal mucosal barrier early in life and confers an increased susceptibility to develop colitis in adult offspring. Conclusions Our findings indicate that foodborne TiO2 consumption during the perinatal period has negative long-lasting consequences on the development of the intestinal mucosal barrier toward higher colitis susceptibility. This demonstrates to which extent environmental factors influence the microbial-host interplay and impact the long-term mucosal homeostasis. more...

Abstract Thiolation of uridine 34 in the anticodon loop of several tRNAs is conserved in the three domains of life and guarantees fidelity of protein translation. U34-tRNA thiolation is catalyzed by a complex of two proteins in the eukaryotic cytosol (named Ctu1/Ctu2 in humans), but by a single NcsA enzyme in archaea. We report here spectroscopic and biochemical experiments showing that NcsA from Methanococcus maripaludis (MmNcsA) is a dimer that binds a [4Fe-4S] cluster, which is required for catalysis. Moreover, the crystal structure of MmNcsA at 2.8 Å resolution shows that the [4Fe-4S] cluster is coordinated by three conserved cysteines only, in each monomer. Extra electron density on the fourth nonprotein-bonded iron most likely locates the binding site for a hydrogenosulfide ligand, in agreement with the [4Fe-4S] cluster being used to bind and activate the sulfur atom of the sulfur donor. Comparison of the crystal structure of MmNcsA with the AlphaFold model of the human Ctu1/Ctu2 complex shows a very close superposition of the catalytic site residues, including the cysteines that coordinate the [4Fe-4S] cluster in MmNcsA. We thus propose that the same mechanism for U34-tRNA thiolation, mediated by a [4Fe-4S]-dependent enzyme, operates in archaea and eukaryotes. more...

Abstract To improve the prognosis of glioblastoma, innovative radiotherapy regimens are required to augment the effect of tolerable radiation doses while sparing surrounding tissues. In this context, nanoscintillators are emerging radiotherapeutics that down‐convert X‐rays into photons with energies ranging from UV to near‐infrared. During radiotherapy, these scintillating properties amplify radiation‐induced damage by UV‐C emission or photodynamic effects. Additionally, nanoscintillators that contain high‐Z elements are likely to induce another, currently unexplored effect: radiation dose‐enhancement. This phenomenon stems from a higher photoelectric absorption of orthovoltage X‐rays by high‐Z elements compared to tissues, resulting in increased production of tissue‐damaging photo‐ and Auger electrons. In this study, Geant4 simulations reveal that rare‐earth composite LaF3:Ce nanoscintillators effectively generate photo‐ and Auger‐electrons upon orthovoltage X‐rays. 3D spatially resolved X‐ray fluorescence microtomography shows that LaF3:Ce highly concentrates in microtumors and enhances radiotherapy in an X‐ray energy‐dependent manner. In an aggressive syngeneic model of orthotopic glioblastoma, intracerebral injection of LaF3:Ce is well tolerated and achieves complete tumor remission in 15% of the subjects receiving monochromatic synchrotron radiotherapy. This study provides unequivocal evidence for radiation dose‐enhancement by nanoscintillators, eliciting a prominent radiotherapeutic effect. Altogether, nanoscintillators have invaluable properties for enhancing the focal damage of radiotherapy in glioblastoma and other radioresistant cancers. more...

The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), also called Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder whose incidence is estimated at about 1 per 55,600–256,000 individuals. It is characterized by several developmental abnormalities and an increased predisposition to the development of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). Cutaneous fibroblasts from Gorlin patients have been shown to exhibit an increased sensitivity to ionizing radiations. Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene PTCH1, which is part of the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway, are responsible for these clinical manifestations. As several genetic mutations in the DNA repair genes are responsible of photo or radiosensitivity and high predisposition to cancers, we hypothesized that these effects in Gorlin syndrome might be due to a defect in the DNA damage response (DDR) and/or the DNA repair capacities. Therefore, the objective of this work was to investigate the sensitivity of skin fibroblasts from NBCCS patients to different DNA damaging agents and to determine the ability of these agents to modulate the DNA repair capacities. Gorlin fibroblasts showed high radiosensitivity and also less resistance to oxidative stress-inducing agents when compared to control fibroblasts obtained from healthy individuals. Gorlin fibroblasts harboring PTCH1 mutations were more sensitive to the exposure to ionizing radiation and to UVA. However, no difference in cell viability was shown after exposure to UVB or bleomycin. As BER is responsible for the repair of oxidative DNA damage, we decided to assess the BER pathway efficacy in Gorlin fibroblasts. Interestingly, a concomitant decrease of both BER gene expression and BER protein activity was observed in Gorlin fibroblasts when compared to control. Our results suggest that low levels of DNA repair within Gorlin cells may lead to an accumulation of oxidative DNA damage that could participate and partly explain the radiosensitivity and the BCC-prone phenotype in Gorlin syndrome. more...

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Low-energy X-rays induce Auger cascades by photoelectric absorption in iodine present in the DNA of cells labeled with 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR). This photoactivation therapy results in enhanced cellular sensitivity to radiation which reaches its maximum with 50 keV photons. Synchrotron core facilities are the only way to generate such monochromatic beams. However, these structures are not adapted for the routine treatment of patients. In this study, we generated two beams emitting photon energy means of 42 and 50 keV respectively, from a conventional 225 kV X-ray source. Viability assays performed after pre-exposure to 10 μM of IUdR for 48h suggest that complex lethal damage is generated after low energy photons irradiation compared to 137Cs irradiation (662KeV). To further decipher the molecular mechanisms leading to IUdR-mediated radiosensitization, we analyzed the content of DNA damage-induced foci in two glioblastoma cell lines and showed that the decrease in survival under these conditions was correlated with an increase in the content of DNA damage-induced foci in cell lines. Moreover, the follow-up of repair kinetics of the induced double-strand breaks showed the maximum delay in cells labeled with IUdR and exposed to X-ray irradiation. Thus, there appears to be a direct relationship between the reduction of radiation survival parameters and the production of DNA damage with impaired repair of these breaks. These results further support the clinical potential use of a halogenated pyrimidine analog combined with low-energy X-ray therapy. more...

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
The term "bystander effect" is used to describe an effect in which cells that have not been exposed to radiation are affected by irradiated cells though various intracellular signaling mechanisms. In this study we analyzed the kinetics and mechanisms of bystander effect and radioadaptation in embryonic zebrafish cells (ZF4) exposed to chronic low dose of gamma rays. ZF4 cells were irradiated for 4 hours with total doses of gamma irradiation ranging from 0.01-0.1 Gy. In two experimental conditions, the transfer of irradiated cells or culture medium from irradiated cells results in the occurrence of DNA double strand breaks in non-irradiated cells (assessed by the number of γ-H2AX foci) that are repaired at 24 hours post-irradiation whatever the dose. At low total irradiation doses the bystander effect observed does not affect DNA repair mechanisms in targeted and bystander cells. An increase in global methylation of ZF4 cells was observed in irradiated cells and bystander cells compared to control cells. We observed that pre-irradiated cells which are then irradiated for a second time with the same doses contained significantly less γ-H2AX foci than in 24 h gamma-irradiated control cells. We also showed that bystander cells that have been in contact with the pre-irradiated cells and then irradiated alone present less γ-H2AX foci compared to the control cells. This radioadaptation effect is significantly more pronounced at the highest doses. To determine the factors involved in the early events of the bystander effect, we performed an extensive comparative proteomic study of the ZF4 secretomes upon irradiation. In the experimental conditions assayed here, we showed that the early events of bystander effect are probably not due to the secretion of specific proteins neither the oxidation of these secreted proteins. These results suggest that early bystander effect may be due probably to a combination of multiple factors. more...

Base excision repair ,Dna ,Guanine radical cation ,Pathway ,Chemistry ,QD1-999 - Abstract
Several examples of oxidative and reductive reactions of DNA components that lead to single and tandem modifications are discussed in this review. These include nucleophilic addition reactions of the one-electron oxidation-mediated guanine radical cation and the one-electron reduced intermediate of 8-bromopurine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides that give rise to either an oxidizing guanine radical or related 5',8-cyclopurine nucleosides. In addition, mechanistic insights into the reductive pathways involved in the photolyase induced reversal of cyclobutadipyrimidine and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts are provided. Evidence for the occurrence and validation in cellular DNA of •OH radical degradation pathways of guanine that have been established in model systems has been gained from the accurate measurement of degradation products. Relevant information on biochemical aspects of the repair of single and clustered oxidatively generated damage to DNA has been gained from detailed investigations that rely on the synthesis of suitable modified probes. Thus the preparation of stable carbocyclic derivatives of purine nucleoside containing defined sequence oligonucleotides has allowed detailed crystallographic studies of the recognition step of the base damage by enzymes implicated in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Detailed insights are provided on the BER processing of non–double strand break bistranded clustered damage that may consist of base lesions, a single strand break or abasic sites and represent one of the main deleterious classes of radiation-induced DNA damage. more...

Bacterial nucleotide excision repair (NER), mediated by the UvrA, UvrB and UvrC proteins is a multistep, ATP-dependent process, that is responsible for the removal of a very wide range of chemically and structurally diverse DNA lesions. DNA damage removal is performed by UvrC, an enzyme possessing a dual endonuclease activity, capable of incising the DNA on either side of the damaged site to release a short single-stranded DNA fragment containing the lesion. Using biochemical and biophysical approaches, we have probed the oligomeric state, UvrB- and DNA-binding abilities and incision activities of wild-type and mutant constructs of UvrC from the radiation resistant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans. Moreover, by combining the power of new structure prediction algorithms and experimental crystallographic data, we have assembled the first model of a complete UvrC, revealing several unexpected structural motifs and in particular, a central inactive RNase H domain acting as a platform for the surrounding domains. In this configuration, UvrC is maintained in a ‘closed’ inactive state that needs to undergo a major rearrangement to adopt an ‘open’ active state capable of performing the dual incision reaction. Taken together, this study provides important insight into the mechanism of recruitment and activation of UvrC during NER. more...

Cells are inevitably challenged by low-level/endogenous stresses that do not arrest DNA replication. Here, in human primary cells, we discovered and characterized a noncanonical cellular response that is specific to nonblocking replication stress. Although this response generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), it induces a program that prevents the accumulation of premutagenic 8-oxoguanine in an adaptive way. Indeed, replication stress-induced ROS (RIR) activate FOXO1-controlled detoxification genes such as SEPP1, catalase, GPX1, and SOD2. Primary cells tightly control the production of RIR: They are excluded from the nucleus and are produced by the cellular NADPH oxidases DUOX1/DUOX2, whose expression is controlled by NF-κB, which is activated by PARP1 upon replication stress. In parallel, inflammatory cytokine gene expression is induced through the NF-κB-PARP1 axis upon nonblocking replication stress. Increasing replication stress intensity accumulates DNA double-strand breaks and triggers the suppression of RIR by p53 and ATM. These data underline the fine-tuning of the cellular response to stress that protects genome stability maintenance, showing that primary cells adapt their responses to replication stress severity. more...

Several types of Quantum Dots (QDs) (CdS, CdSe and InP, as well as core-shell QDs such as type I InP-ZnS, quasi type-II CdSe-CdS and inverse type-I CdS-CdSe) were considered for generating α-aminoalkyl free radicals. The feasibility of the oxidation of the N-aryl amines and the generation of the desired radical was evidenced experimentally by quenching of the photoluminescence of the QDs and by testing a vinylation reaction using an alkenylsulfone radical trap. The QDs were tested in a radical [3+3]-annulation reaction giving access to tropane skeletons and that requires the completion of two consecutive catalytic cycles. Several QDs such as CdS core, CdSe core and inverted type I CdS-CdSe core-shell proved to be efficient photocatalysts for this reaction. Interestingly, the addition of a second shorter chain ligand to the QDs appeared to be essential to complete the second catalytic cycle and to obtain the desired bicyclic tropane derivatives. Finally, the scope of the [3+3]-annulation reaction was explored for the best performing QDs and isolated yields that compares well with classical iridium photocatalysis were obtained. more...

Sulfuration of uridine 8, in bacterial and archaeal tRNAs, is catalyzed by enzymes formerly known as ThiI, but renamed here TtuI. Two different classes of TtuI proteins, which possess a PP-loop-containing pyrophosphatase domain that includes a conserved cysteine important for catalysis, have been identified. The first class, as exemplified by the prototypic Escherichia coli enzyme, possesses an additional C-terminal rhodanese domain harboring a second cysteine, which serves to form a catalytic persulfide. Among the second class of TtuI proteins that do not possess the rhodanese domain, some archaeal proteins display a conserved CXXC + C motif. We report here spectroscopic and enzymatic studies showing that TtuI from Methanococcus maripaludis and Pyrococcus furiosus can assemble a [4Fe–4S] cluster that is essential for tRNA sulfuration activity. Moreover, structural modeling studies, together with previously reported mutagenesis experiments of M. maripaludis TtuI, indicate that the [4Fe–4S] cluster is coordinated by the three cysteines of the CXXC + C motif. Altogether, our results raise a novel mechanism for U8-tRNA sulfuration, in which the cluster is proposed to catalyze the transfer of sulfur atoms to the activated tRNA substrate. more...

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a universal and versatile DNA repair pathway, capable of removing a very wide range of lesions, including UV-induced pyrimidine dimers and bulky adducts. In bacteria, NER involves the sequential action of the UvrA, UvrB and UvrC proteins to release a short 12- or 13-nucleotide DNA fragment containing the damaged site. Although bacterial NER has been the focus of numerous studies over the past 40 years, a number of key questions remain unanswered regarding the mechanisms underlying DNA damage recognition by UvrA, the handoff to UvrB and the site-specific incision by UvrC. In the present study, we have successfully reconstituted in vitro a robust NER system using the UvrABC proteins from the radiation resistant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans. We have investigated the influence of various parameters, including temperature, salt, protein and ATP concentrations, protein purity and metal cations, on the dual incision by UvrABC, so as to find the optimal conditions for the efficient release of the short lesion-containing oligonucleotide. This newly developed assay relying on the use of an original, doubly-labelled DNA substrate has allowed us to probe the kinetics of repair on different DNA substrates and to determine the order and precise sites of incisions on the 5′ and 3′ sides of the lesion. This new assay thus constitutes a valuable tool to further decipher the NER pathway in bacteria. more...

International audience; In this work, we report on the synthesis and the characterisation of three novel iridium(III) bis-cyclometalated complexes. Their photophysics has been fully characterized by classical methods and revealed charge transfer (CT) and ligand centered (LC) transitions. Their ability to selectively interact with G-quadruplex telomeric DNA over duplex DNA has been studied by Circular Dichroïsm (CD), Bio Layer Interferometry (BLI) and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) analyses. Interestingly, one of them is able to perform photo-induced electron transfer (PET) with guanine DNA base, which can in turn lead to oxidative damage (such as 8-oxo-guanine) to the telomeric sequence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of highly photo-oxidant bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes towards G-quadruplex telomeric DNA. 2 more...

DNA-protein cross-links constitute bulky DNA lesions that interfere with the cellular machinery. Amongst these stable covalently tethered adducts, the efficient nucleophilic addition of the free amino group of lysines onto the guanine radical cation has been evidenced. In vitro addition of a trilysine peptide onto a guanine radical cation generated in a TGT oligonucleotide is so efficient that competitive addition of a water molecule, giving rise to 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, is not observed. This suggests a spatial proximity between guanine and lysine for the stabilization of the prereactive complex. We report all-atom microsecond scale molecular dynamics simulations that probe the structure and interactions of the trilysine peptide (KKK) with two oligonucleotides. Our simulations reveal a strong, electrostatically driven yet dynamic interaction, spanning several association modes. Furthermore, the presence of neighbouring cytosines has been identified as a factor favoring KKK binding. Relying on ab initio molecular dynamics on a model system constituted of guanine and methylammonium, we also corroborate a mechanistic pathway involving fast deprotonation of the guanine radical cation followed by hydrogen transfer from ammonium leaving as a result a nitrogen reactive species that can subsequently cross-link with guanine. Our study sheds new light on a ubiquitous mechanism for DNA-protein cross-links also stressing out possible sequence dependences. more...

Sulfuration of uridine 34 in the anticodon of tRNAs is conserved in the three domains of life, guaranteeing fidelity of protein translation. In eubacteria, it is catalyzed by MnmA-type enzymes, which were previously concluded not to depend on an iron–sulfur [Fe–S] cluster. However, we report here spectroscopic and iron/sulfur analysis, as well as in vitro catalytic assays and site-directed mutagenesis studies unambiguously showing that MnmA from Escherichia coli can bind a [4Fe–4S] cluster, which is essential for sulfuration of U34-tRNA. We propose that the cluster serves to bind and activate hydrosulfide for nucleophilic attack on the adenylated nucleoside. Intriguingly, we found that E. coli cells retain s2U34 biosynthesis in the ΔiscUA ΔsufABCDSE strain, lacking functional ISC and SUF [Fe–S] cluster assembly machineries, thus suggesting an original and yet undescribed way of maturation of MnmA. Moreover, we report genetic analysis showing the importance of MnmA for sustaining oxidative stress. more...

Advanced science xx, 2001675 (1-18) (2020). doi:10.1002/advs.202001675, To improve the prognosis of glioblastoma, innovative radiotherapy regimens are required to augment the effect of tolerable radiation doses while sparing surrounding tissues. In this context, nanoscintillators are emerging radiotherapeutics that down‐convert X‐rays into photons with energies ranging from UV to near‐infrared. During radiotherapy, these scintillating properties amplify radiation‐induced damage by UV‐C emission or photodynamic effects. Additionally, nanoscintillators that contain high‐Z elements are likely to induce another, currently unexplored effect: radiation dose‐enhancement. This phenomenon stems from a higher photoelectric absorption of orthovoltage X‐rays by high‐Z elements compared to tissues, resulting in increased production of tissue‐damaging photo‐ and Auger electrons. In this study, Geant4 simulations reveal that rare‐earth composite LaF$_3$:Ce nanoscintillators effectively generate photo‐ and Auger‐electrons upon orthovoltage X‐rays. 3D spatially resolved X‐ray fluorescence microtomography shows that LaF$_3$:Ce highly concentrates in microtumors and enhances radiotherapy in an X‐ray energy‐dependent manner. In an aggressive syngeneic model of orthotopic glioblastoma, intracerebral injection of LaF$_3$:Ce is well tolerated and achieves complete tumor remission in 15% of the subjects receiving monochromatic synchrotron radiotherapy. This study provides unequivocal evidence for radiation dose‐enhancement by nanoscintillators, eliciting a prominent radiotherapeutic effect. Altogether, nanoscintillators have invaluable properties for enhancing the focal damage of radiotherapy in glioblastoma and other radioresistant cancers., Published by Wiley-VCH, Weinheim more...

Branched oligonucleotides containing a biologically relevant DNA lesion, dCyd341, which involves an interstrand crosslink between a cytosine base on one strand and a ribose moiety on the opposite strand, were prepared in a single automated solid-phase synthesis. For this, we first prepared the phosphoramidite analogue of dCyd341 bearing an orthogonal levulinyl protecting group. Then, following the synthesis of the first DNA strand containing dCyd341, the levulinic group was removed and the synthesis was then continued from the free base hydroxyl group at the branching point, using traditional phosphoramidites. The synthesized oligonucleotides were fully characterized by MALDI-TOF/MS and were enzymatically digested, and the presence of the lesion was confirmed by HPLC-MS/MS and the sequence was finally controlled upon exonuclease digestion followed by MALDI-TOF/MS analysis. The developed strategy was successfully employed for the preparation of several short linear and branched oligonucleotides containing the aforementioned lesion. Fil: Taverna Porro, Marisa Lia.

International audience; During the last few decades, a considerable amount of work has been done to better assess the effects of ionizing radiation on living organisms. In particular a lot of attention has been focused on the consequences of modifications of the DNA macromolecule, the support of the genetic information. Detailed information is now available on the formation of radiation-induced DNA lesions at the physical, chemical and biological levels. Emphasis will be placed in this review article on the differences and similarities, in term of DNA lesions formation and outcome, between endogenous oxidative stress and ionizing radiation, both stresses that could produce oxidative DNA lesions through similar mechanistic pathways involving mostly reactive oxygen species. If the chemical nature of the generated lesions is similar, the differences in term of biological consequences could be attributed to their spatial distribution in genomic DNA, since ionizing radiations produce lesions in cluster. These clusters of lesions represent a challenge for the DNA repair machinery. In contrast, endogenous oxidative stress generates scattered lesions that could be repaired with a much higher efficacy and fidelity. Possible implication of the use of DNA damage and repair for human health purposes and radiological protection will be discussed. more...

International audience; Background: Radiation therapy remains a fundamental tool for cancer treatment, but selective dose deposition within a targeted‐tumor, while sparing surrounding structures, remains a challenge. This objective can be achieved by loading the tumor with high‐Z elements prior delivery of radiation therapy. Synchrotron sources are ideal sources since they provide high‐intensity and tunable monochromatic X‐rays within the optimal energy‐range.Aim: We evaluated the ability of various high-Z elements, either as molecular agents (iodine or gadolinium contrast agents) or in the form of nanoparticles (gold and gadolinium), to act as radiation dose-enhancers through theoretical and experimental studies.Methods: Clonogenic assays were used to quantify cell survival after irradiation in the presence of the dose-enhancers using monochromatic X-rays from a synchrotron or 1.25 MeV photons from a Cobalt-60 source. Preclinical studies were performed on rats bearing F98 glioma after administration of either iodine as contrast agent or AuNPs. In parallel, Monte Carlo simulations were performed to evaluate the dose, for comparisons. Finally, a pilot clinical study was performed using an iodinated contrast agent as the radiation-dose-enhancer. 14 Patients with brain metastases received one fraction of the overall radiotherapy treatment at the synchrotron, the additional fractions were delivered using a conventional Linac at the university hospital.Results/Conclusions Radiosensitization was demonstrated with all agents in combination with X-irradiation at low energies. The radiation dose-enhancements were found to be highly energy-dependent for all agents. Secondary-electron-emission generated after photoelectric events appeared to be the primary mechanism by which Iodine and Gd contrast agents or AuNPs act as dose-enhancers. Increase of the animal’s survival was observed after iodine systemic injection or intracerebral infusion of AuNPs. The phase I-II clinical studies demonstrated the feasibility of this technique. Our overall experience will be summarized, pointing out the advantages and difficulties of applying this method for the treatment of brain tumors. more...

Endonuclease III (EndoIII) is a bifunctional DNA glycosylase that removes oxidized pyrimidines from DNA. The genome of Deinococcus radiodurans encodes for an unusually high number of DNA glycosylases, including three EndoIII enzymes (drEndoIII1-3). Here, we compare the properties of these enzymes to those of their well-studied homologues from E. coli and human. Our biochemical and mutational data, reinforced by MD simulations of EndoIII-DNA complexes, reveal that drEndoIII2 exhibits a broad substrate specificity and a catalytic efficiency surpassing that of its counterparts. In contrast, drEndoIII1 has much weaker and uncoupled DNA glycosylase and AP-lyase activities, a characteristic feature of eukaryotic DNA glycosylases, and was found to present a relatively robust activity on single-stranded DNA substrates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such an activity for an EndoIII. In the case of drEndoIII3, no catalytic activity could be detected, but its ability to specifically recognize lesion-containing DNA using a largely rearranged substrate binding pocket suggests that it may play an alternative role in genome maintenance. Overall, these findings reveal that D. radiodurans possesses a unique set of DNA repair enzymes, including three non-redundant EndoIII variants with distinct properties and complementary activities, which together contribute to genome maintenance in this bacterium. more...

Sulfuration of uridine 34 in the anticodon of tRNAs is conserved in the three domains of life, guaranteeing fidelity of protein translation. In eubacteria, it is catalyzed by MnmA-type enzymes, which were previously concluded not to depend on an iron-sulfur [Fe-S] cluster. However, we report here spectroscopic and iron/sulfur analysis, as well as in vitro catalytic assays and site-directed mutagenesis studies unambiguously showing that MnmA from Escherichia coli can bind a [4Fe-4S] cluster, which is essential for sulfuration of U34-tRNA. We propose that the cluster serves to bind and activate hydrosulfide for nucleophilic attack on the adenylated nucleoside. Intriguingly, we found that E. coli cells retain s2U34 biosynthesis in the ΔiscUA ΔsufABCDSE strain, lacking functional ISC and SUF [Fe-S] cluster assembly machineries, thus suggesting an original and yet undescribed way of maturation of MnmA. Moreover, we report genetic analysis showing the importance of MnmA for sustaining oxidative stress. more...

International audience; Both UV and ionizing radiations damage DNA. Two main mechanisms, so-called direct and indirect pathways, are involved in the degradation of DNA induced by ionizing radiations. The direct effect of radiation corresponds to direct ionization of DNA (one electron ejection) whereas indirect effects are produced by reactive oxygen species generated through water radiolysis, including the highly reactive hydroxyl radicals, which damage DNA. UV (and visible) light damages DNA by again two distinct mechanisms. UVC and to a lesser extend UVB photons are directly absorbed by DNA bases, generating their excited states that are at the origin of the formation of pyrimidine dimers. UVA (and visible) light by interaction with endogenous or exogenous photosensitizers induce the formation of DNA damage through photosensitization reactions. The excited photosensitizer is able to induce either a one-electron oxidation of DNA (type I) or to produce singlet oxygen (type II) that reacts with DNA. In addition, through an energy transfer from the excited photosensitizer to DNA bases (sometime called type III mechanism) formation of pyrimidine dimers could be produced. Interestingly it has been shown recently that pyrimidine dimers are also produced by direct absorption of UVA light by DNA, even if absorption of DNA bases at these wavelengths is very low. It should be stressed that some excited photosensitizers (such as psoralens) could add directly to DNA bases to generate adducts. The review will described the differences and similarities in terms of damage formation (structure and mechanisms) between these two physical genotoxic agents. more...

International audience; The potential health effects of exposure to nanomaterials (NMs) is currently heavily studied. Among the most often reported impact is DNA damage, also termed genotoxicity. While several reviews relate the DNA damage induced by NMs and the techniques that can be used to prove such effects, the question of impact of NMs on DNA repair processes has never been specifically reviewed. The present review article proposes to fill this gap of knowledge by critically describing the DNA repair processes that could be affected by nanoparticle (NP) exposure, then by reporting the current state of the art on effects of NPs on DNA repair, at the level of protein function, gene induction and post-transcriptional modifications, and taking into account the advantages and limitations of the different experimental approaches. Since little is known about this impact, working hypothesis for the future are then proposed. more...

We examined the effects of chronic exposure to different concentrations (2 and 20 μg L(-)(1)) of environmentally relevant waterborne depleted uranium (DU) on the DNA methylation patterns both at HpaII restriction sites (5'-CCGG-3') and across the whole genome in the zebrafish brain, gonads, and eyes. We first identified sex-dependent differences in the methylation level of HpaII sites after exposure. In males, these effects were present as early as 7 days after exposure to 20 μg L(-)(1) DU, and were even more pronounced in the brain, gonads, and eyes after 24 days. However, in females, hypomethylation was only observed in the gonads after exposure to 20 μg L(-)(1) DU for 24 days. Sex-specific effects of DU were also apparent at the whole-genome level, because in males, exposure to 20 μg L(-)(1) DU for 24 days resulted in cytosine hypermethylation in the brain and eyes and hypomethylation in the gonads. In contrast, in females, hypermethylation was observed in the brain after exposure to both concentrations of DU for 7 days. Based on our current knowledge of uranium toxicity, several hypotheses are proposed to explain these findings, including the involvement of oxidative stress, alteration of demethylation enzymes and the calcium signaling pathway. This study reports, for the first time, the sex- and tissue-specific epigenetic changes that occur in a nonhuman organism after exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of uranium, which could induce transgenerational epigenetic effects. more...

International audience; The long-term consequences of the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) that occurred on March 2011, have been scarcely studied on wildlife. We sampled Japanese tree frogs (Dryophytes japonicus), in a 50-km area around the FDNPP to test for an increase of DNA damages and variation of DNA methylation level. The ambient dose rate ranged between 0.4 and 2.8 µGy h-1 and the total estimated dose rate absorbed by frogs ranged between 0.4 and 4.9 µGy h-1. Frogs from contaminated sites exhibited a dose dependent increase of global genomic DNA methylation level (5-mdC and 5-hmdC) and of mitochondrial DNA damages. Such DNA damages may indicate a genomic instability, which may induce physiological adaptations governed by DNA methylation changes. This study stresses the need for biological data combining targeted molecular methods and classic ecotoxicology, in order to better understand the impacts on wildlife of long term exposure to low ionizing radiation levels. more...

[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]BELCA [ADD1_IRSTEA]Systèmes aquatiques soumis à des pressions multiples; International audience; To improve the assessment of aquatic organism responses to environmental stressors, there is an interest in studying epigenetic marks in addition to other validated biomarkers. Indeed, the epigenetic marks may be influenced by the surrounding environment. Non-model invertebrates such as gammarids are sentinel organisms representative of the diversity of natural stream communities. Despite their ecologically relevance, the epigenetic responses have been to date poorly documented in these species. The present study explores the measurement of the global cytosine methylation level in the genome of the freshwater crustacean Gammarus fossarum. In a first step, natural variability of global cytosine methylation level (basal level) was assessed by studying the effect of sex, age and sampling site of organisms. Results showed a significant effect of age and sampling site. In a second step, effects of water temperature and food starvation were studied. For both factors, a hypermethylation was observed after 1 month of exposure. In a third step, gammarids were exposed to a range of environmentally relevant cadmium concentrations (0.05-5 µg/L) in order to assess the effect of a chemical stress. Whatever the cadmium concentration used, a significant hypomethylation was observed after 14 days followed by a trend for hypermethylation after 1 month of exposure. These results are the first ones dealing with the 5Cmethylation status in gammarids. The results constitute potential markers of environmental stresses in relevant sentinel species widely used in ecotoxicological studies. more...

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules essential for protein synthesis. Post-transcriptionally they are heavily modified to improve their function, folding and stability. Intronic polymorphisms in CDKAL1, a tRNA methylthiotransferase, are associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk. Loss-of-function mutations in TRMT10A, a tRNA methyltransferase, are a monogenic cause of early onset diabetes and microcephaly. Here we confirm the role of TRMT10A as a guanosine 9 tRNA methyltransferase, and identify tRNAGln and tRNAiMeth as two of its targets. Using RNA interference and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived pancreatic β-like cells from healthy controls and TRMT10A-deficient patients we demonstrate that TRMT10A deficiency induces oxidative stress and triggers the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in β-cells. We show that tRNA guanosine 9 hypomethylation leads to tRNAGln fragmentation and that 5'-tRNAGln fragments mediate TRMT10A deficiency-induced β-cell death. This study unmasks tRNA hypomethylation and fragmentation as a hitherto unknown mechanism of pancreatic β-cell demise relevant to monogenic and polygenic forms of diabetes., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published more...

International audience; The use of CdSe-ZnS type I quantum.clots as redox photocatalysts with visible light in water is investigated by monitoring the oxidation reaction of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine and the reduction of nitrophenylalanine derivatives. The detection of reaction intermediates and the identification and quantitation of reaction products establish that both reactions are photocatalyzed simultaneously by CdSe-ZnS type I quantum dots. The photocatalyzed reactions are observed without the need for sacrificial reactants and with high turnover numbers (>400). These results demonstrate that CdSe-ZnS type I quantum dots can work efficiently as redox photocatalysts in water solution. more...

We acknowledge the Pole Scientifique de Modeisation Numerique (PSMN) for computational resources.; International audience; Biogenic polyamines, which play a role in DNA condensation and stabilization, are ubiquitous and are found at millimolar concentration in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. The interaction modes of three polyamines-putrescine (Put), spermine (Spm), and spermidine (Spd)-with a self-complementary 16 base pair (bp) duplex, are investigated by all-atom explicit-solvent molecular dynamics. The length of the amine aliphatic chain leads to a change of the interaction mode from minor groove binding to major groove binding. Through all-atom dynamics, noncovalent interactions that stabilize the polyamine-DNA complex and prefigure the reactivity, leading to the low-barrier formation of deleterious DNA-polyamine cross-links, after one-electron oxidation of a guanine nucleobase, are unraveled. The binding strength is quantified from the obtained trajectories by molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area post-processing (MM-GBSA). The values of binding free energies provide the same affinity order, Put more...

International audience; Sulfur is present in several nucleosides within tRNAs. In particular, thiolation of the universally conserved methyl-uridine at position 54 stabilizes tRNAs from thermophilic bacteria and hyperthermo-philic archaea and is required for growth at high temperature. The simple nonredox substitution of the C2-uridine carbonyl oxygen by sulfur is catalyzed by tRNA thiouridine synthetases called TtuA. Spectroscopic, enzymatic, and structural studies indicate that TtuA carries a catalytically essential [4Fe-4S] cluster and requires ATP for activity. A series of crystal structures shows that (i) the cluster is ligated by only three cysteines that are fully conserved, allowing the fourth unique iron to bind a small ligand, such as exogenous sulfide, and (ii) the ATP binding site, localized thanks to a protein-bound AMP molecule, a reaction product, is adjacent to the cluster. A mechanism for tRNA sulfuration is suggested, in which the unique iron of the catalytic cluster serves to bind exogenous sul-fide, thus acting as a sulfur carrier. tRNA modification | thiolation | [Fe-S] cluster | thiouridine synthetase | U54-tRNA T he cellular translation machinery contains essential components such as tRNAs. To achieve their function, they feature a great variety of well-conserved posttranscriptional chemical modifications. Sulfur is present in several of these modified nucleosides: thiouridine and derivatives (s 4 U8, s 2 U34, and m 5 s 2 U54), 2-thioadenosine derivatives (ms 2 i 6 A37 and ms 2 t 6 A37), and 2-thiocytidine (s 2 C32). However, mechanisms of sulfur insertion into tRNAs are largely unknown, and the enzymes responsible for these reactions are incompletely characterized. Whereas redox conversion of a C-H to a C-S bond (synthesis of ms 2 i 6 A37 and ms 2 t 6 A37) depends on redox enzymes from the RadicalS -adenosyl-L-methionine iron-sulfur enzyme family, simple nonredox conversion of C = O to C = S group (synthesis of s 2 U34 and s 4 U8) is not expected to require such redox clusters. Intriguingly, we recently discovered that the ATP-dependent formation of s 2 C32 in some tRNAs is catalyzed by an iron-sulfur enzyme, TtcA (1). However, the role of its cluster has not been defined. In the same superfamily, TtuA enzymes catalyze the C2-thiolation of uridine 54 in the T loop of thermophilic tRNAs (Fig. 1A), allowing stabilization of tRNAs at high temperature in thermophilic microorganisms. Sequences analysis shows that they share conserved cysteines and ATP binding motif (Fig. S1). Here, we report a detailed biochemical and structural characterization of TtuA that shows the presence of a [4Fe-4S] cluster essential for activity. The crystal structures of Pyrococcus horikoshii TtuA (PhTtuA) show that the cluster, chelated by only three cysteines, is adjacent to the ATP binding site. The presence of electron density near the fourth iron, nonbonded to the protein, indicates that the cluster can bind an exogenous substrate. We propose that thiolation occurs via sulfur binding to the cluster and transfer to the tRNA substrate. The fact that the catalytic [4Fe-4S] cluster serves as a sulfur carrier during a nonredox thiolation reaction illustrates an unknown function in iron-sulfur enzymology. Results m 5 s 2 U but Not s 2 C Is Present in tRNAs from Thermotoga maritima. In the Thermotoga maritima genome, only one homolog of the ttuA gene was detected (2). It was earlier suggested that TtuA could perform thiolation of both C32 and m 5 U54 in this organism (2), because both s 2 C and m 5 s 2 U were detected in bulk tRNAs (3). However, our results show that, although 10.7 m 5 s 2 U modifications per 1,000 uridines were detected, both m 5 U and s 2 C were under the threshold of detection (below one modification per million normal nucleosides) (Fig. S2). T. maritima TtuA Binds an [Fe-S] Cluster. Recombinant T. maritima TtuA (TmTtuA) was purified as an apoprotein, apo-TmTtuA (Fig. 2A and Fig. S3A), then anaerobically treated with ferrous iron and L-cysteine in the presence of a cysteine desulfurase, and finally, purified (Fig. S3B) in the form of a homogeneous dimeric brownish protein, named holo-TmTtuA. Metal analysis (1.6 ± 0.1 Zn, 3.1 ± 0.2 Fe, and 2.6 ± 0.3 S per monomer) and UV-visible as well as EPR spectroscopy (Fig. 2) show that one TmTtuA monomer binds Significance Posttranscriptional modifications of tRNA are essential for trans-lational fidelity. More specifically, mechanisms of selective sul-furation of tRNAs are still largely unknown, and the enzymes responsible for these reactions are incompletely investigated. Therefore, characterizing such systems at the molecular level is greatly valuable to our understanding of a whole class of tRNA modification reactions. We study TtuA, a representative member of a tRNA modification enzyme superfamily, and show that it intriguingly catalyzes a nonredox sulfur insertion within tRNA using a catalytically essential [4Fe-4S] cluster. This report opens perspectives regarding functions of iron-sulfur proteins in biology as well as chemical reactions catalyzed by iron-sulfur clusters. more...

Purpose Nanoparticles appear as a novel tool to enhance the effectiveness of radiotherapy in cancer treatments. Many parameters influence their efficacy, such as their size, concentration, composition, their cellular localization, as well as the photon source energy. The current Monte Carlo study aims at comparing the dose-enhancement in presence of gadolinium (Gd), either as isolated atoms or atoms clustered in nanoparticles (NPs), by investigating the role played by these physical parameters at the cellular and the nanometer scale. In parallel, in vitro assays were performed in presence of either the gadolinium contrast agent (GdCA) Magnevist® or ultrasmall gadolinium NPs (GdNPs, 3 nm) for comparison with the simulations. Methods PENELOPE Monte Carlo Code was used for in silico dose calculations. Monochromatic photon beams were used to calculate dose-enhancements in different cell compartments and low-energy secondary electron spectra dependence with energy. Particular attention has been placed on the interplay between the X-ray beam energy, the Gd localization and its distance from cellular targets. Clonogenic assays were used to quantify F98 rat glioma cell survival after irradiation in the presence of GdNPs or GdCA, using monochromatic X-rays with energies in the 30 keV-80 keV range from a synchrotron and 1.25 MeV gamma photons from a cobalt-60 source. The simulations that correspond to the experimental conditions were compared with the experimental results. Results In silico, a highly heterogeneous and clustered Gd-atom distribution, a massive production of low energy electrons around GdNPs and an optimal X-ray beam energy, above the Gd K-edge, were key factors found to increase microscopic doses, which could potentially induce cell death. The different Gd localizations studied all resulted in a lower dose enhancement for the nucleus component than for cytoplasm or membrane compartments, with a maximum dose-enhancement factor (DEF) found at 65 keV and 58 keV, respectively. In vitro, radiosensitization was observed with GdNPs incubated 5h with the cells (2.1 mg Gd/mL) at all energies. Experimental DEFs were found to be greater than computational DEFs but follow a similar trend with irradiation energy. However, an important radiosensitivity was observed experimentally with GdNPs at high energy (1.25 MeV), whereas no effect was expected from modeling. This effect was correlated with GdNPs incubation time. In vitro, GdCA provided no dose-enhancement at 1.25 MeV energies, in agreement with computed data. Conclusions These results provide a foundation on which to base optimizations of the physical parameters in Gd radiation-enhanced therapy. Strong evidence was provided that GdCA or GdNPs could both be used for radiation dose-enhancement therapy. Their in vivo biological distribution, in the tumor volume and at the cellular scale, will be the key factor for providing large dose-enhancements and determine their therapeutic efficacy.

International audience; Low-energy X-rays induce Auger cascades by photoelectric absorption in iodine present in the DNA of cells labeled with 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR). This photoactivation therapy results in enhanced cellular sensitivity to radiation which reaches its maximum with 50 keV photons. Synchrotron core facilities are the only way to generate such monochromatic beams. However, these structures are not adapted for the routine treatment of patients. In this study, we generated two beams emitting photon energy means of 42 and 50 keV respectively, from a conventional 225 kV X-ray source. Viability assays performed after pre-exposure to 10 μM of IUdR for 48h suggest that complex lethal damage is generated after low energy photons irradiation compared to 137 Cs irradiation (662KeV). To further decipher the molecular mechanisms leading to IUdR-mediated radiosensitization, we analyzed the content of DNA damage-induced foci in two glioblastoma cell lines and showed that the decrease in survival under these conditions was correlated with an increase in the content of DNA damage-induced foci in cell lines. Moreover, the follow-up of repair kinetics of the induced double-strand breaks showed the maximum delay in cells labeled with IUdR and exposed to X-ray irradiation. Thus, there appears to be a direct relationship between the reduction of radiation survival parameters and the production of DNA damage with impaired repair of these breaks. These results further support the clinical potential use of a haloge-nated pyrimidine analog combined with low-energy X-ray therapy. more...

International audience; We report the design of a luminescent sensor based upon the zinc finger (ZF) protein TIS11d, that allows for the selective time-resolved detection of the UUAUUUAUU sequence of the 3 0-untranslated region of messenger RNA. This sensor is composed of the tandem ZF RNA binding domain of TIS11d functionalized with a luminescent Tb 3+ complex on one of the ZFs and a sensitizing antenna on the other. This work provides the proof of principle that an RNA binding protein can be re-engineered as an RNA sensor and, more generally, that tunable synthetic luminescent probes for biomolecules can be obtained by modifying biomolecule-binding domains. more...

International audience; The hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus gammatolerans can resist huge doses of γ-irradiation, up to 5.0 kGy, without loss of viability. The potential to withstand such harsh conditions is probably due to complementary passive and active mechanisms, including repair of damaged chromosomes. In this work, we documented the formation and repair of oxidative DNA lesions in T. gammatolerans. The basal level of the oxidized nucleoside, 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dGuo), was established at 9.2 (± 0.9) 8-oxo-dGuo per 106 nucleosides, a higher level than those usually measured in eukaryotic cells or bacteria. A significant increase in oxidative damage, i.e., up to 24.2 (± 8.0) 8-oxo-dGuo/106 nucleosides, was measured for T. gammatolerans exposed to a 5.0 kGy dose of γ-rays. Surprisingly, the yield of radiation-induced modifications was lower than those previously observed for human cells exposed to doses corresponding to a few grays. One hour after irradiation, 8-oxo-dGuo levels were significantly reduced, indicating an efficient repair. Two putative base excision repair (BER) enzymes, TGAM_1277 and TGAM_1653, were demonstrated both by proteomics and transcriptomics to be present in the cells without exposure to ionizing radiation. Their transcripts were moderately upregulated after gamma irradiation. After heterologous production and purification of these enzymes, biochemical assays based on electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight) mass spectrometry indicated that both have a β-elimination cleavage activity. TGAM_1653 repairs 8-oxo-dGuo, whereas TGAM_1277 is also able to remove lesions affecting pyrimidines (1-[2-deoxy-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl]-5-hydroxyhydantoin (5-OH-dHyd) and 1-[2-deoxy-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl]-5-hydroxy-5-methylhydantoin (5-OH-5-Me-dHyd)). This work showed that in normal growth conditions or in the presence of a strong oxidative stress, T. gammatolerans has the potential to rapidly reduce the extent of DNA oxidation, with at least these two BER enzymes as bodyguards with distinct substrate ranges. more...

International audience; It has been shown that in addition to formation of pyrimidine dimers, UV irradiation of DNA in the absence of photosensitizer also induces formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine, but the mechanism of formation of that oxidized base has not been clearly established. In the present study, we provide an unambiguous demonstration that absorption of UVC and UVB radiation by the nucleobases induces DNA oxidation via a direct process (one-electron oxidation) and not singlet oxygen. Evidence arose from the fact that polyamine-guanine adducts that are specifically produced through the transient formation of guanine radical cation are generated following UV irradiation of DNA in the presence of a polyamine even in the absence of any photosensitizer. more...

This study investigated the effects of adult zebrafish exposure to a nominal concentration of 20μgL-1 of depleted uranium (DU) for six days upon DNA methylation, gene expression and the appearance of histopathological damage in their progeny. In the embryos at the 2-8 cell stage, the parental exposure induced significant DU accumulation, with levels seven times higher than those measured in the control embryos, but in larvae 96h post-fertilisation (hpf), uranium concentration had already returned to a level identical to that of the control larvae. A significant two-fold increase in the global level of DNA methylation was observed in embryos as early as the prim5 (24 hpf) stage and was still maintained at the 96 hpf stage despite the fact that DU had already been depurated at the later stage. RNA sequencing analysis indicated an impact of parental exposure upon the total RNAs transmitted from the mother to eggs, and the up-regulated genes were those associated with post-traductional protein modification and trafficking and cellular signalling pathways, whereas the down-regulated genes concerned the translational process, cell cycle regulation and several cell signalling pathways. Alterations of photoreceptor cells and the axon-axon junctions between photoreceptors were observed in the eyes of adult fish exposed for 10days to DU. Actin and myosin filament disorganisation was observed in the skeletal muscles of 96 hpf larvae, at a stage when the maternally transmitted DU had already been excreted. These data reveal the extreme sensitivity of zebrafish embryos to DU transmitted through the oocyte by exposed females. more...

Chemistry - Abstract
Reaction rate constants of HOCl with zinc-bound cysteines are determined, demonstrating that zinc fingers are potent targets for HOCl and may serve as HOCl sensors., Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is one of the strongest oxidants produced in mammals to kill invading microorganisms. The bacterial response to HOCl involves proteins that are able to sense HOCl using methionine, free cysteines or zinc-bound cysteines of zinc finger sites. Although the reactivity of methionine or free cysteine with HOCl is well documented at the molecular level, this is not the case for zinc-bound cysteines. We present here a study that aims at filling this gap. Using a model peptide of the Zn(Cys)4 zinc finger site of the chaperone Hsp33, a protein involved in the defence against HOCl in bacteria, we show that HOCl oxidation of this model leads to the formation of two disulfides. A detailed mechanistic and kinetic study of this reaction, relying on stopped-flow measurements and competitive oxidation with methionine, reveals very high rate constants: the absolute second-order rate constants for the reaction of the model zinc finger with HOCl and its conjugated base ClO– are (9.3 ± 0.8) × 108 M–1 s–1 and (1.2 ± 0.2) × 104 M–1 s–1, the former approaching the diffusion limit. Revised values of the second-order rate constants for the reaction of methionine with HOCl and ClO– were also determined to be (5.5 ± 0.8) × 108 M–1 s–1 and (7 ± 5) × 102 M–1 s–1, respectively. At physiological pH, the zinc finger site reacts faster with HOCl than methionine and glutathione or cysteine. This study demonstrates that zinc fingers are potent targets for HOCl and confirms that they may serve as HOCl sensors as proposed for Hsp33. more...

The cellular responses of the J774 macrophage cell line to zinc oxide and zirconium oxide nanoparticles have been studied by a comparative quantitative, protein level based proteomic approach. The most prominent results have been validated by targeted approaches. These approaches have been carried out under culture conditions that stimulate mildly the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, thereby mimicking conditions that can be encountered in vivo in complex environments. The comparative approach with two nanoparticles allows to separate the common responses, which can be attributed to the phagocytosis event per se, from the response specific to each type of nanoparticles. The zinc-specific responses are the most prominent ones and include mitochondrial proteins too, but also signaling molecules such as MyD88, proteins associated with methylglyoxal detoxification (glyoxalase 2, aldose reductase) and deoxyribonucleotide hydrolases. The in cellulo inhibition of GAPDH by zinc was also documented, representing a possible source of methylglyoxal in the cells, leading to an increase in methylglyoxal-modified DNA bases. These observations may be mechanistically associated with the genotoxic effect of zinc and its selective effects on cancer cells.The responses of the murine J774 macrophage cell lines to two types of metallic oxide nanoparticles (zinc oxide and zirconium dioxide) were studied by a comparative 2D gel based approach. This allows sorting of shared responses from nanoparticle-specific responses. Zinc oxide nanoparticles induced specifically a strong decrease in the mitochondrial function, in phagocytosis and also an increase in the methylglyoxal-associated DNA damage, which may explain the well known genotoxicity of zinc. In conclusion, this study allows highlighting of pathways that may play an important role in the toxicity of the zinc oxide nanoparticles. more...

International audience; The reaction of singlet molecular oxygen with purine DNA bases is investigated by computational means. We support the formation of a transient endoperoxide for guanine and by classical molecular dynamics simulations we demonstrate that the formation of this adduct does not affect the B-helicity. We thus identify the guanine endoperoxide as a key intermediate, confirming a low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance proof of its existence, and we delineate its degradation pathway, tracing back the preferential formation of 8-oxoguanine versus spiro-derivates in B-DNA. Finally, the latter oxidized 8-oxodGuo product exhibits an almost barrierless reaction profile, and hence is found, coherently with experience, to be much more reactive than guanine itself. On the contrary, in agreement with experimental observations, singlet-oxygen reactivity onto adenine is kinetically blocked by a higher energy transition state. more...

The chapter is aimed at providing an updated overview of the main available data on the oxidation of nucleic acids by singlet oxygen (1O2). Mechanistic insights into the selective oxidative pathways of guanine, the predominant DNA and RNA target, were gained from detailed model studies. These have also allowed identification of spiroiminodihydantoin and minor 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine as the main decomposition products of nucleosides and nucleotides. Evidence has been provided that the latter guanine oxidation product and thionucleobases are also highly reactive to singlet oxygen. The 1O2 oxidation of isolated and cellular DNA and RNA is much more specific giving rise almost exclusively to 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine though the intermediacy of 4,8-endoperoxide that subsequently rearranges into easily reducible 8-hydroperoxyguanine. It was also shown that 1O2 is not able to induce significant levels of strand breaks and/or alkali-labile sites in cellular DNA upon exposure to a chemical source of singlet oxygen. UVA irradiation of cells and human skin is able to oxidatively damage nuclear DNA as inferred from the measurement of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine. This has been rationalized in terms of the predominant implication of 1O2 produced by type-II photosensitization mechanism over Fenton-type reactions. more...

International audience; Oxidatively generated DNA lesions are numerous and versatile, and have been the subject of intensive research since the discovery of 8-oxoguanine in 1984. Even for this prototypical lesion, the precise mechanism of formation remains elusive due to the inherent difficulties in characterizing high-energy intermediates. We have probed the stability of the guanine endoperoxide in B-DNA as a key intermediate and determined a unique activation free energy of around 6 kcal mol−1 for the formation of the first C−O covalent bond upon the attack of singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) on the central guanine of a solvated 13 base-pair poly(dG-dC), described by means of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations. The B-helix remains stable upon oxidation in spite of the bulky character of the guanine endoperoxide. Our modeling study has revealed the nature of the versatile 1O2 attack in terms of free energy and shows a sensitivity to electrostatics and solvation as it involves a charge-separated intermediate. more...

International audience; RimO, a radical-S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzyme, catalyzes the specific C3 methylthiolation of the D89 residue in the ribosomal S12 protein. Two intact iron–sulfur clusters and two SAM cofactors both are required for catalysis. By using electron paramagnetic resonance, Mössbauer spectroscopies, and site-directed mutagenesis, we show how two SAM molecules sequentially bind to the unique iron site of the radical-SAM cluster for two distinct chemical reactions in RimO. Our data establish that the two SAM molecules bind the radical-SAM cluster to the unique iron site, and spectroscopic evidence obtained under strongly reducing conditions supports a mechanism in which the first molecule of SAM causes the reoxidation of the reduced radical-SAM cluster, impeding reductive cleavage of SAM to occur and allowing SAM to methylate a HS– ligand bound to the additional cluster. Furthermore, by using density functional theory-based methods, we provide a description of the reaction mechanism that predicts the attack of the carbon radical substrate on the methylthio group attached to the additional [4Fe-4S] cluster. more...
