In spite of chemotherapy and systematic screening for people at risk, the mortality rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains consistently high, with 600,000 deaths per year. This low success rate in the treatment of CRC results from many failures associated with high resistance and the risk of metastasis. Therefore, in response to these therapeutic failures, new strategies have been under development for several years aimed at increasing the effect of anticancer compounds and/or at reducing their secondary effects on normal cells, thus enabling the host to better withstand chemotherapy. This study highlights that xanthohumol (Xn) concentrations under the IC50 values were able to induce apoptosis and to enhance the DNA-damage response (DDR). We demonstrate for the first time that Xn exerts its anticancer activity in models of colon cancer through activation of the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) pathway. Subsequently, the ability of Xn to restore DNA damage in CRC cells can sensitize them to anticancer agents such as SN38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin) used in chemotherapy.

Numerous anticancer agents and environmental mutagens target DNA. Although all such compounds interfere with the progression of the replication fork and inhibit DNA synthesis, there are marked differences in the DNA-damage response pathways they trigger, and the relative impact of the proximal or the distal signal transducers on cell survival is mainly lesion-specific. Accordingly, checkpoint kinase inhibitors in current clinical development show synergistic activity with some DNA-targeting agents, but not with others. In the present study, we characterize the DNA-damage response to the antitumour acronycine derivative S23906, which forms monofunctional adducts with guanine residues in the minor groove of DNA. S23906 exposure is accompanied by specific recruitment of RPA (replication protein A) at replication sites and rapid Chk1 activation. In contrast, neither MRN (Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1) nor ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated), contributes to the initial response to S23906. Interestingly, genetic attenuation of ATR (ATM- and Ras3-related) activity inhibits not only the early phosphorylation of histone H2AX and Chk1, but also interferes with the late phosphorylation of Chk2. Moreover, loss of ATR function or pharmacological inhibition of the checkpoint kinases by AZD7762 is accompanied by abrogation of the S-phase arrest and increased sensitivity towards S23906. These findings identify ATR as a central co-ordinator of the DNA-damage response to S23906, and provide a mechanistic rationale for combinations of S23906 and similar agents with checkpoint abrogators.
