Abstract

Background

Constant DNA damage occurs in cells, and the cells are programmed to respond constitutively. This study explored the roles of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated interactor (ATMIN), one of the impaired pathways involving the DNA damage response (DDR) in mismatch repair-deficient [microsatellite instability (MSI)-high] colorectal carcinoma (CRC).

Methods

Expression of ATMIN messenger RNA (mRNA) was detected in CRC specimens with microsatellite instability (MSI) characteristics. The effects of ectopic ATMIN expression and ATMIN knockdown on invasion abilities were evaluated in MSI-high cell lines, and liver metastasis ability was investigated in vivo. Protein-protein interactions were assessed by coimmunoprecipitation analyses in vitro.

Results

Decreased ATMIN expression was positively correlated with advanced stage of disease (P < 0.05), lymph node metastases (P < 0.05), and deeper invasion (P < 0.05) in MSI-high tumors. Transient or stable ATMIN knockdown significantly increased cell motility. Moreover, in the high-throughput microarray and gene set enrichment analysis, ATMIN was shown to act on the Wnt-signaling pathway via PARP1. This cascade influences β-catenin/transcription factor 4 (TCF4) binding affinity in MSI-high tumors, and PARP1 inhibition significantly decreased the number of metastases from ATMIN knockdown cancer cells.

Conclusions

The results not only indicated the critical role of ATMIN, but also shed new light on PARP1 inhibitors, providing a basis for further clinical trials of MSI-high CRC.
