Abstract:

Carriers of mutations in ATM gene are predisposed to breast cancer risk. ATM prevents oncogenesis by activating p53 in every cell; however, much remains unknown about tissue-specific oncogenesis by ATM loss. Here, we report that ATM ensures appropriate transcriptional response to estrogens, the prominent growth factor for breast cancer. The response associates with the active catalysis of topoisomerase II (TOP2), which generates DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) covalently associated with TOP2 adducts. We revealed that ATM facilitates DSB repair by promoting the removal of TOP2 adducts in G1 cells. Defective repair of TOP2-dependent DSBs changes the activation profile of estrogen-dependent enhancers and transcriptional response of over 1,000 genes to estrogens, demonstrating the crucial role of DSB repair in transcriptional response. The ATM loss causes prolonged overexpression of c-MYC oncogene in mammary epithelial cells after injection of estrogens into mice. In conclusion, ATM suppresses oncogenic effects of estrogens by repairing TOP2-dependent DSBs.
