タイトル Testis-expressed gene 11 inhibits cisplatin-induced DNA damage and contributes to chemoresistance in testicular germ cell tumor.
ジャーナル Sci Rep
Abstract Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) is a rare cancer but the most common tumor among adolescent and young adult males. Patients with advanced TGCT often exhibit a worse prognosis due to the acquisition of therapeutic resistance. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is a standard treatment for advanced TGCTs initially sensitive to cisplatin, as exemplified by embryonal carcinoma. The acquisition of cisplatin resistance, however, could be a fatal obstacle for TGCT management. To identify cisplatin resistance-related genes, we performed transcriptome analysis for cisplatin-resistant TGCT cells compared to parental cells. In two types of cisplatin-resistant TGCT cell models that we established from patient-derived TGCT cells, and from the NEC8 cell line, we found that mRNA levels of the high-mobility-group nucleosome-binding gene HMGN5 and meiosis-related gene TEX11 were remarkably upregulated compared to those in the corresponding parental cells. We showed that either HMGN5 or TEX11 knockdown substantially reduced the viability of cisplatin-resistant TGCT cells in the presence of cisplatin. Notably, TEX11 silencing in cisplatin-resistant TGCT cells increased the level of cleaved PARP1 protein, and the percentage of double-strand break marker γH2AX-positive cells. We further demonstrated the therapeutic efficiency of TEX11-specific siRNA on in vivo xenograft models derived from cisplatin-resistant patient-derived TGCT cells. Taken together, the present study provides a potential insight into a mechanism of cisplatin resistance via TEX11-dependent pathways that inhibit apoptosis and DNA damage. We expect that our findings can be applied to the improvement of cisplatin-based chemotherapy for TGCT, particularly for TEX11-overexpressing tumor.
