DNA Damage Response and Oxidative Stress in Systemic Autoimmunity: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Vassilis Souliotis and Version 1 by Vassilis Souliotis.

 

The DNA damage response and repair (DDR/R) network, a sum of hierarchically structured signaling pathways that recognize and repair DNA damage, and the immune response to endogenous and/or exogenous threats, act synergistically to enhance cellular defence. On the other hand, a deregulated interplay between these systems underlines inflammatory diseases including malignancies and chronic systemic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with these diseases are characterized by aberrant immune response to self-antigens with widespread production of autoantibodies and multiple-tissue injury, as well as by the presence of increased oxidative stress. Recent data demonstrate accumulation of endogenous DNA damage in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from these patients, which is related to (a) augmented DNA damage formation, at least partly due to the induction of oxidative stress, and (b) epigenetically regulated functional abnormalities of fundamental DNA repair mechanisms. Because endogenous DNA damage accumulation has serious consequences for cellular health, including genomic instability and enhancement of an aberrant immune response, these results can be exploited for understanding pathogenesis and progression of systemic autoimmune diseases, as well as for the development of new treatments.

The DNA damage response and repair (DDR/R) network 



The DNA damage response and repair (DDR/R) network is a hierarchically structured mechanism, consisting of sensors, mediators, transducers, and effectors, which recognize any defects during the cell cycle and assign the proper repair process [1]. In case of unrepaired lesions and depending on the extent and type of damage, the cell either passes the mutated genome to its offspring or is neutralized by programmed cell death (apoptosis) or senescence [2]. To compensate for the many types of DNA damage that occur, cells have developed six major DNA repair mechanisms wherein each corrects a different subset of lesions.

 

Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER)



NER is a fundamental DNA repair mechanism involved in the removal of bulky, helix-distorting lesions from DNA[3]. DNA adducts that are repaired by NER include cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts (6-4 PPs) produced by UV radiation, DNA lesions generated by ROS or endogenous lipid peroxidation products, intrastrand cross-links and adducts produced by genotoxic drugs (melphalan, cisplatin), or environmental carcinogens (benzo[a]pyrene)[4][5]. There are two subpathways of NER, termed GGR (global genome repair) and TCR (transcription-coupled repair), where approximately 30 proteins are involved in both subpathways. The biological importance of NER for human health is obvious by the fact that defects in this repair pathway cause several human genetic disorders, including Cockayne syndrome (CS), xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), and trichothiodystrophy (TTD), which are all associated with photosensitivity[6].

 

Base Excision Repair (BER)



BER is a conserved and ubiquitous DNA repair pathway, which recognizes and removes damaged DNA bases that do not significantly distort the structure of the DNA helix[7]. BER is used by the cell to correct DNA lesions that occur through the spontaneous deamination or hydroxylation of bases and by oxidation of nucleotides by ROS produced either by normal metabolism or environmental stresses such as smoking, oxidizing chemicals, or ionizing radiation[8]. In addition, BER is implicated in the repair of alkylated DNA bases generated by endogenous or exogenous factors (carcinogens, antineoplastic drugs, etc.), which if left unrepaired produce mutations in the cells[9]. BER consists of two subpathways, known as single-nucleotide or short-patch and long-patch.



Mismatch Repair (MMR)



MMR mechanism removes base substitution and insertion/deletion mismatches that arise as a result of replication errors escaping the proofreading function of DNA polymerases[10]. Deficiencies in MMR lead to microsatellite instability (MSI), which is a pattern of hypermutation that occurs at genomic microsatellites, and is associated with unique clinical features, such as prognosis and response to therapy, and immune checkpoint blockade[11][12]

 

Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) Repair

 

DSBs may occur as a result of exposure to both exogenous factors, including ionizing radiation, UV light and genotoxic drugs[13] and endogenous events, including oxidative stress, replication fork collapse, and telomere erosion[14]. These lesions, also, occur as programmed events during meiosis, as well as during V(D)J recombination and class-switch recombination (CSR)[15]. To maintain genomic integrity, cells have evolved several pathways to remove DSBs.

 

Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR)



HRR is an error-free DNA repair mechanism, which operates during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle so that it can find a large area of homology on a sister chromatid to use as a template for resynthesizing damaged or lost bases[16].

 

Canonical Non-Homologous End Joining (c-NHEJ)

 

c-NHEJ is an error-prone process, which is active throughout the entire cell cycle. C-NHEJ is initiated by the binding of the heterodimeric protein complex X-ray repair cross complementing 5/6 to both DNA ends. Then, DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is recruited, a DNA dependant protein kinase, which activates X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 4 (XRCC4)-ligase IV complex to link the broken DNA ends together. However, before re-ligation, MRN complex (MRE11-Rad50-NBS1), together with the Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1) and Artemis, are involved in processing DNA ends[17] [18].



Alternative Non-Homologous End Joining (Alt-NHEJ)



Alt-NHEJ is a mechanistically distinct pathway of DSB repair that is frequently termed microhomology-mediated end-joining[19]. Indeed, the foremost distinguishing property of alt-NHEJ is the use of 5–25 base pair microhomologous sequences during the alignment of broken ends before joining, thereby resulting in deletions flanking the original break[20].



Single Strand Annealing (SSA)



This process involves a DSB between homologous repeats, followed by DSB end resection that generates 3′-ssDNA, which reveals flanking homologous sequences that are annealed together to form a synapsed intermediate. This intermediate is then processed for ligation, which requires endonucleolytic cleavage of nonhomologous 3′-ssDNA tails, and polymerase filling of the gaps[21].




Interstrand Cross-Link (ICL) Repair 



The formation of cross-links between the two strands of DNA is considered a critical event, causing cell cycle and replication arrest and eventually cell death if not repaired[22]. Cross-linking agents are exogenous chemicals, including the drugs cyclophosphamide, melphalan, cisplatin, mitomycin C, and psoralen[23], as well as endogenously formed aldehydes [24]. There are three routes for cross-link detection in mammalian cells. Adducts can be recognized in otherwise unperturbed duplex DNA by factors that recognize DNA damage, via encounter with the transcription machinery or by blocking a replication fork, triggering  a repair response that would remove the cross-link and restore replication[25].

 

Direct Repair Pathway



The direct repair mechanism is a single step pathway[26]. The sole protein involved, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), removes alkyl groups of thymine, such as those generated by treatment with alkylating drugs, and transfers it to an internal cysteine residue of MGMT [27].



The Interplay between the DDR/R Network and the Immune Response: The Role of Oxidative Stress 

 

The interplay between DDR/R and innate immune response has been suggested by a few studies in the recent years. Recent studies have demonstrated that deregulation of DNA repair mechanisms result in the accumulation of cytosolic single-stranded DNAs and double-stranded DNAs that can act as potent immunostimulators through the induction of the cGAS-STING-IRF3 pathway and the production of type I interferon.[2828][29][30][31][2932][3033][3134][3235][3336]  On the contrary, loss of immune homeostasis and prolonged inflammatory response can lead to DNA damage and activate the DDR/R network, thus indicating a bi-directional relationship between DDR/R and immune response[21][3437][3538][3639][3740][3841][3942][4043].

Systemic autoimmune diseases are characterized by aberrant immune response to self-antigens with widespread production of autoantibodies and multiple tissue injury, as well as by oxidative stress along with the excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The inappropriate activation of adaptive immunity and production of autoantibodies has been classically linked to autoimmunity, whereas innate immune activation and, specifically, the recognition of nucleic acids by Toll-like receptors and other cytoplasmic innate immune receptors, are gaining attention as part of the pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases[4144].

 

DNA Double-Strand Breaks Per Se Induce Innate Immune Activation 



The presence of DSBs per se has been shown to induce type I IFN production. Treatment of healthy donor-derived primary monocytes with etoposide, mitomycin C or adriamycin, three DSB-inducing drugs, was able to induce type I and III IFNs in primary monocytes and various cell lines, suggesting that DDR-induced IFN expression is a universal mechanism that may underline different pathological processes[4230]. Furthermore, basic components of DSB repair were shown to be responsible for the production of cytoplasmic ssDNA, which seems to be the main immunostimulant[4335].





Defective DNA Repair and Chronic Low Level DNA Damage “Prime” the Innate Immune Response



Important data supporting that defective DNA repair primes innate immune response comes from ataxia-telangiectasia (AT), a neurodegenerative disorder associated with mutations of the central DNA repair kinase ATM[4431]. In summary, ATM deficiency leads to the accumulation of DNA damage, exportation of damaged ssDNA and dsDNA into the cytoplasm, activation of the CGAS-STING pathway, and finally type I IFN production that primed cells for response to exogenous or endogenous stimuli such as viral or bacterial infections. Moreover, Günther and colleagues suggested that defective ribonucleotide removal and accumulation of base lesions and low-grade DNA damage “primed” ImmR[45].  

 

Oxidative Stress Causes DNA Damage That Activates the Immune System



Cellular oxidative damage is a general mechanism of cell and tissue injury, which is primarily caused by free radicals and ROS [46]. ROS are produced by both endogenous and exogenous sources. Endogenous sources include the generation of ROS from mitochondria; peroxisomes, activated inflammatory cells and during the metabolism of xenobiotics. As for the extracellular sources of ROS, these include the ultraviolet A (UVA) light, chemotherapeutics, environmental toxins, and other pollutants[4647][46]. DNA lesions associated with ROS are oxidized purines and pyrimidines, SSBs, DSBs, and abasic sites[4748]. On exposure to oxidative stress, cells initiate a variety of defence mechanisms, including both enzymatic (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase, and catalase) and non-enzymatic antioxidants [ascorbic acid (vitamin C), α-tocopherol (vitamin E), total thiol, glutathione, carotenoids, and flavonoids][4849].

Οxidative stress can participate in the pathogenesis, progression, and complication of many diseases, including cancer and systemic autoimmune diseases[4546]. Especially with regard to systemic autoimmune diseases, several studies have shown that SLE patients are characterized by increased oxidative stress, resulting in immune system dysregulation, abnormal activation and processing of cell-death signals, and autoantibody production[4950]. In addition, oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of SSc[5051]. That is, SSc patients are characterized by increased production of ROS in the skin, visceral fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, as well as by reduced concentrations of various antioxidants, including antioxidant vitamins and minerals[5152].Oxidative stress signs, such as intracellular ROS, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, DNA damage, and deregulated antioxidant defence system of the body, have also been observed in patients with RA[5253]



The DDR/R Network in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases




Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

 

The first hint that abnormalities in DDR/R pathway may be involved in SLE pathophysiology comes from the increased frequency of polymorphisms of central molecules involved in the DDR/R pathway such as TREX1[4954]. Moreover, autoantibodies against components of the DDR pathway have been detected in approximately 10%–20% of patients with SLE [5355]. Some known targets of autoantibodies in SLE are the two subunits of Ku protein (Ku70 and Ku80), DNA ligase IV, XRCC4, DNA-PK, PARP, Mre11 and Werner protein[5456][5557].

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from SLE patients display defects in two main DNA repair pathways, namely, NER and DSB repair. SLE patients with nephritis have approximately 3–5 times higher intrinsic DNA damage compared with healthy controls. Of interest, patients with quiescent disease also exhibited increased levels of DNA damage, although lower than patients with nephritis[5628][3329].

Recent studies suggest that either dysregulated apoptosis or defects in dead cell clearance contribute to the perpetuation of autoimmunity and SLE pathogenesis[58]. Studies revealed a significantly higher percentage of apoptotic cells in SLE patients than in controls, which was also positively correlated with the number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells, the major type I IFN-a producer[5759]. Interestingly, our previous studies have shown that genotoxic drug-induced apoptosis rates were higher in PBMCs from quiescent SLE patients than healthy controls and correlated inversely with DNA repair efficiency, supporting the hypothesis that accumulation of DNA damage contributes to increased apoptosis[5628][3329].



Systemic Sclerosis



Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development and perpetuation of SSc[3060]. In fibroblasts isolated from the skin of patients with diffuse SSc, levels of ROS and type I collagen are significantly higher and the amounts of free thiol are significantly lower when compared to normal fibroblasts[5861]. Moreover, sera from patients with diffuse SSc and lung fibrosis contain elevated levels of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) compared to sera from healthy individuals or from patients with limited SSc and no lung fibrosis[5962]. Furthermore, increased DNA damage levels have also been detected in the peripheral blood of patients with SSc, regardless of disease subtype (diffuse or limited SSc) or treatment[3163].



Rheumatoid Arthritis



The role of oxidative DNA damage and aberrations of the DDR/R network have been long studied in RA[6064]. P53 mutations and overexpression were characteristically detected in the synovium of patients with RA[6165][6266][6367]. Immunohistochemical analysis of RA synovial tissues revealed compensatory up-regulation of MMR enzymes, especially in the synovial lining, which, however, did not completely invert the observed oxidative damage[6468]. Moreover, increased endogenous DNA damage levels in peripheral blood (PBMCs or granulocytes) are observed in patients with RA compared to healthy controls[6569] [5270][3253]



Conclusion



In conclusion, the DDR/R network and the ImmR act synergistically to ensure genomic stability and cell homeostasis, therefore a balance shift in DDR/R may negatively affect ImmR and the opposite may also occur.

As depicted in Figure 1, we propose that epigenetically regulated functional abnormalities of DNA repair mechanisms (i.e., downregulation of DDR/R-related genes and condensed chromatin structure that result in defective repair) and increased endogenous DNA damage formation, partly due to the induction of oxidative stress, may result in the augmented accumulation of DNA damage (both SSBs and DSBs) in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. This accumulation may trigger the induction of apoptosis, which facilitates autoantibody production, as well as the generation of damaged cytosolic DNA and micronuclei that both can act as potent immunostimulators through the induction of the type I IFN pathway, leading to systemic autoimmune disease expression. Notably, some of the components cGAS-STING-IRF3 pathway and the production of type I IFN, leading to systemic autoimmune disease are partially reversible following histone hyperacetylation by HDAC inhibitors.

Recent data have shown that treatment of human SLE-derived PBMCs with the HDACi vorinostat results in hyperacetylation of histone H4, chromatin decondensation, restoration of the DNA repair capacity, and decreased apoptosis rates[4429]. These results are in line with previous data, showing that HDACi ameliorate disease in lupus mouse models[6671][6772][6873], as well treatment of lupus-prone Mrl/lpr mice with the HDACi panobinostat significantly reduced circulating naïve B and plasma cell numbers and the levels of autoantibodies[74]. More importantly, in children with systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis, the HDACi givinostat was found to be safe and beneficial, particularly in reducing the arthritic features, suggesting that HDACi may have important clinical applications in the treatment of systemic autoimmunity[6975].

Taken together, the results reviewed herein suggest that the deregulated interplay between DDR/R and ImmR plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of systemic autoimmune diseases. Thus, unraveling the molecular mechanisms of this interplay can be exploited for understanding pathogenesis and progression of these diseases, as well as to discover new treatment opportunities in the field.
