Hence, ATM modulates vimentin expression to facilitate IL-6-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis in lung cancer, indicating that ATM and vimentin might be potential therapeutic targets for inflammation-associated lung cancer metastasis.
We discovered that polymorphisms in the XPD gene in men [log-additive model: odds ratio (OR) = 1.64, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.17-2.31], the ATM gene in women and nonsmokers (codominant model: OR = 0.11, 95% CI: 0.02-0.49 and OR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.08-0.72, respectively), the APEX1 gene for smokers (recessive model: OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.34-4.85), and the NBS1 gene for those who work in the coal industry (overdominant model: OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.21-0.75) are associated with an increased risk of lung cancer.
In conclusion, our study suggests that haplotypes consisting of PPP1R13L rs1970764-CD3EAP rs961591-GLTSCR1 rs1035938 on Chr19q13.3, interaction of smoking and GLTSCR1 rs1035938-ATM rs11212592, and synergistic action of PPP1R13L rs1970764 and ATMrs11212592 may associate with lung cancer risk in the Chinese population.
At the same time, the ATM gene and its encoding product ATM protein predicts the response to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and prognosis of lung cancer, thus suggesting that the ATM gene may be a new potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
The use of RAD-ADAPT is demonstrated using an example that examines the impact of pharmacologic ATM and ATR kinase inhibition on human lung cancer cell line A549 after ionizing radiation.
A literature search of the PubMed and EMBASE databases was performed using keywords such as "ATM gene" and "lung cancer," and the deadline "October 15 (th), 2016."
We selected eight genes, ATM serine/threonine kinase gene (ATM), BRCA2, DNA repair associated gene (BRCA2), checkpoint kinase 2 gene (CHEK2), EGFR, parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase gene (PARK2), telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT), tumor protein p53 gene (TP53), and Yes associated protein 1 gene (YAP1), on the basis of prior anecdotal association with lung cancer or genome-wide association studies.
These studies suggest that simultaneous blocking of ATM/Mcl-1 molcules or downstream Erk signaling may recover the cisplatin-resistance of lung cancer.
A systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) and Wanfang databases to identify studies that investigated the association between the ATM gene polymorphisms and both lung cancer and RP radiotherapy-treated lung cancer (the last search was conducted on Dec.10, 2015).
RanBP9 stable silencing in three different lung cancer cell lines significantly affects the DNA Damage Response (DDR), resulting in delayed activation of key components of the cellular response to IR such as ATM itself, Chk2, γH2AX, and p53.
This meta-analysis suggests that AA genotype of the ATM-111 gene (G>A) may be a risk factor for breast cancer and lung cancer, especially among nonsmokers, within the Chinese population.
Thus, ATM mutational status in lung cancer is a mechanistic biomarker for MEK inhibitor response, which may improve patient stratification and extend the applicability of these drugs beyond RAS and BRAF mutant tumours.
ATM protein is lost in a number of cancer cell lines and ATR kinase inhibitors synergize with cisplatin to resolve xenograft models of ATM-deficient lung cancer.
Analyses of ATM serine 1981 and Chk1 serine 345 phosphorylation, and FANCD2 monoubiquitination revealed that ATM and ATR kinase activation and FA pathway signaling are intact in the lung cancer cell lines examined.
Taken together, these findings demonstrate that IL-6 inducing ATM phosphorylation increases the expression of MMP-3/MMP-13, augments the abilities of cell migration, and promotes lung cancer metastasis, indicating that ATM is a potential target molecule to overcome IL-6 correlated lung cancer metastasis.
This study aimed to investigate the mechanism through which cAMP signaling regulates ATM activation and cellular responses to ionizing radiation in lung cancer cells.
We aimed to explore the prognostic value of rs189037 (G>A), one of ATM single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and detect whether it involves in the risk of lung cancer in Chinese Han people.
Our results provide evidence that the A allele of ATMrs652311 may be associated with lung cancer risk, and may enhance the effects of smoking habit on lung cancer development.
