AbstractWe report here that genome editing by CRISPR/Cas9 induces a p53-mediated DNA damage response and cell cycle arrest. Transient inhibition of p53 prevents this response, and increases the rate of homologous recombination more than five-fold. This provides a way to improve precision genome editing of normal cells, but warrants caution in using CRISPR for human therapies until the mechanism of the activation of p53 is elucidated.

Damage Response

A proper DNA damage response (DDR), which monitors and maintains the genomic integrity, has been considered to be a critical barrier against genetic alterations to prevent tumor initiation and progression. The representative tumor suppressor p53 plays an important role in the regulation of DNA damage response. When cells receive DNA damage, p53 is quickly activated and induces cell cycle arrest and/or apoptotic cell death through transactivating its target genes implicated in the promotion of cell cycle arrest and/or apoptotic cell death such asp21WAF1,BAX, andPUMA. Accumulating evidence strongly suggests that DNA damage-mediated activation as well as induction of p53 is regulated by posttranslational modifications and also by protein-protein interaction. Loss of p53 activity confers growth advantage and ensures survival in cancer cells by inhibiting apoptotic response required for tumor suppression. RUNX family, which is composed of RUNX1, RUNX2, and RUNX3, is a sequence-specific transcription factor and is closely involved in a variety of cellular processes including development, differentiation, and/or tumorigenesis. In this review, we describe a background of p53 and a functional collaboration between p53 and RUNX family in response to DNA damage.

ATM is among of the most critical initiators and coordinators of the DNA-damage response. ATM canonical and non-canonical signaling pathways involve hundreds of downstream targets that control many important cellular processes such as DNA damage repair, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, metabolism, proliferation, oxidative sensing, among others. Of note, ATM is often considered a major tumor suppressor because of its ability to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. However, in some advanced stage tumor cells, ATM signaling is increased and confers remarkable advantages for cancer cell survival, resistance to radiation and chemotherapy, biosynthesis, proliferation, and metastasis. This review focuses on addressing major characteristics, signaling pathways and especially the diverse roles of ATM in cellular homeostasis and cancer development.

Stress Induced Premature Senescence

A mitotic cell that rests in permanent cell cycle arrest without the ability to divide is considered as a senescent cell. Cellular senescence is essential to limit the function of cells with heavy DNA damages. The lack of senescence is in favour of tumorigenesis, whereas the accumulation of senescent cells in tissues is likely to induce ageing and age-related pathologies on the organismal level. Understanding of cellular senescence is thus critical to both cancer and ageing studies. Senescence, essentially permanent cell cycle arrest, is one of the results of DNA damage response, such as the ataxia telangiectasia mutated and the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related signaling pathways. In other cases, mild DNA damages can usually be repaired after DNA damage response, while the cells with heavy damages on DNA end in apoptosis. The damage to the special structure of telomere, however, prone to result in permanent cell cycle arrest after activation of DNA damage response. In fact, a few previous pieces of research on ageing have largely focused on telomere and considered it a primary contributor to different types of senescence. For instance, its reduction in length after each replication turns on a timer for replicative senescence, and its tandem repeats specific to binding proteins makes it susceptible to DNA damage from oxidative stress, and thus stress-induced premature senescence. In most of the senescent cells, the accumulation of biomarkers is found around the telomere which has either its tail structure disassembled or damage foci exposed on the tandem repeats. In this review, among several types of senescence, I will investigate two of the most common and widely discussed types in eukaryotic cells -replicative senescence and stress-induced premature senescence - in terms of their mechanism, relationship with telomere, and implication to organismal ageing.

ABSTRACT Female mice lacking the transcription factor C/EBPβ are infertile and display markedly reduced estrogen (E)-induced proliferation of the uterine epithelial lining during the reproductive cycle. The present study showed that E-stimulated luminal epithelial cells of a C/EBPβ-null uterus are able to proceed through the G1 phase of the cell cycle before getting arrested in the S phase. This cell cycle arrest was accompanied by markedly reduced levels of expression of E2F3, an E2F family member, and a lack of nuclear localization of cyclin E, a critical regulator of cdk2. An increased nuclear accumulation of p27, an inhibitor of the cyclin E-cdk2 complex, was also observed for the mutant epithelium. Gene expression profiling of C/EBPβ-null uterine epithelial cells revealed that the blockade of E-induced DNA replication triggers the activation of several well-known components of the DNA damage response pathway, such as ATM, ATR, histone H2AX, checkpoint kinase 1, and tumor suppressor p53. The activation of p53 by ATM/ATR kinase led to increased levels of expression of p21, an inhibitor of G1-S-phase progression, which helps maintain cell cycle arrest. Additionally, p53-dependent mechanisms contributed to an increased apoptosis of replication-defective cells in the C/EBPβ-null epithelium. C/EBPβ, therefore, is an essential mediator of E-induced growth and survival of uterine epithelial cells of cycling mice.
