The ROS/SUMO Axis Contributes to the Response of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells to Chemotherapeutic Drugs

Abstract: Chemotherapeutic drugs used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) are thought to induce cancer cell death through the generation of DNA double-strand breaks. Here, we report that one of their early effects is the loss of conjugation of the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO from its targets via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent inhibition of the SUMO-conjugating enzymes. Desumoylation regulates the expression of specific genes, such as the proapoptotic gene DDIT3, and helps induce apoptosis in chem… Show more

“…H 2 O 2 ) and anticancer drugs used for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia induce the formation of a disulfide bridge between the catalytic Cys residues of the E1 and the E2 enzymes. This leads to the transient inactivation of both enzymes and the subsequent desumoylation of most cellular substrates (94,95). Interestingly, under the same conditions, the overall ubiquitination was not affected (94).…”

“…More recently, it was shown that miRNA30a controls Ubc9 levels in human subcutaneous adipocytes, with consequences for their mitochondrial activity (132). Another way to directly regulate the E2 catalytic activity is the previously-discussed transient disulfide bridge formed between the catalytic cysteines of the E1 and the E2 enzymes (94,95). Not surprisingly, PTMs also represent an additional strategy to regulate E2 function.…”

“…ROS exerts a pivotal role in a number of cellular processes associated with tumor progression, including survival, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis [4-6]. Most of the currently available anti-cancerous chemotherapeutic, photodynamic and radiotherapeutic agents are selectively toxic to tumor cells by augmenting oxidative stress, resulting in sustained cell-cycle inhibition, cell death induction, and senescence, in the present, this likely represents one of the best opportunities for cancer therapeutics [7-9]. Several intracellular sources can contribute to the production of ROS, such as cyclooxygenase, cytochrome P450, lipoxygenases, mitochondrial electron transport, xanthine oxidase and NADPH oxidase (NOX) [10, 11].…”

“…Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can inhibit both the SUMO activating and SUMO conjugating enzymes in a different manner, via the formation of reversible disulfide bridges between the catalytic cysteine residues [90]. It has been reported that several chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat acute myeloid leukemias induce the formation of ROS, thereby inhibiting the SUMO pathway and subsequently reducing tumor growth [91]. Additionally, small SUMO-mimicking peptides can act as SUMOylation inhibitors [92].…”
