Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Recently we demonstrated that Resveratrol (RSV), a well known natural stilbene, is able to induce a delay in S progression with a concomitant increase in γH2AX expression in U87 glioma cells. Furthermore we showed it inhibits the ability of recombinant human Topoisomerase IIα to decatenate kDNA in vitro. Because proliferating tumour cells express topoisomerases at high levels and these enzymes are important targets of some of the most successful anticancer drugs, we tested whether RSV is able to poison Topoisomerase IIα in glioma cells. Then we monitored the increase of micronuclei in RSV treated U87 cells as a consequence of the conversion of TOPOII/DNA cleavable complexes to permanent DNA damage. Finally, we assayed the ability of RSV in modulating the expression of target proteins involved in DNA damage signalling, namely ATR, ATM, Chk1, Chk2 and γH2AX. Through a molecular modelling here we show that RSV binds at the TOPOII/DNA interface thus establishing several hydrogen bonds. Moreover we show that resveratrol poisons TOPOIIα so inducing DNA damage; ATM, Chk2 and γH2AX are involved in the DNA damage signalling after RSV treatment.
