Interferon signaling is enhanced by ATR inhibition in glioblastoma cells irradiated with X-rays, protons or carbon ions

Résumé

Background and purpose Interferon (IFN) signaling plays an important role in antitumor immune responses. Inhibitors of the DNA damage response, such as ATR inhibitors, can increase IFN signaling upon conventional radiotherapy with X-rays. However, it is not known whether such inhibitors also enhance IFN signaling after irradiation with high linear energy transfer (LET) particles. Materials and methods Human glioblastoma U-251 and T98G cells were irradiated with X-rays, protons (LET: 4.8 and 41.9 keV/µm) and carbon ions (LET: 28 and 73 keV/µm), with and without ATR inhibitor (VE-822) or ATM inhibitor (AZD1390). DNA damage signaling and cell cycle distribution were analyzed by immunoblotting and flow cytometry, and radiosensitivity was assessed by clonogenic survival assay. IFN-β secretion was measured by ELISA, and STAT1 activation was examined by immunoblotting. Results High-LET protons and carbon ions caused stronger activation of the DNA damage response compared to low-LET protons and X-rays at similar radiation doses. G2 checkpoint arrest was abrogated by the ATR inhibitor and prolonged by the ATM inhibitor after all radiation types. The inhibitors increased radiosensitivity, as measured after X- and carbon ion irradiation. ATR inhibition increased IFN signaling following both low-LET and high-LET irradiation. ATM inhibition also increased IFN signaling, but to a lesser extent. Notably, both cell lines secreted significantly more IFN-β when the inhibitors were combined with high-LET compared to low-LET irradiation. Conclusion These findings indicate that DNA damage response inhibitors can enhance IFN signaling following X-, proton and carbon ion irradiation, with a strong positive dependency on LET.
