From the p53 plays an important role in response to
ionizing radiation by regulating cell cycle progression and
triggering apoptosis. These activities are controlled, in part, by the
phosphorylation of p53 by the protein kinase ATM. Recent evidence
indicates that the monofunctional DNA alkylating agent
N-methyl-N'-nitro-N- nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) also triggers up-regulation and phosphorylation of p53; however,
the mechanism(s) responsible for this are unknown. We observed that in
MNNG-treated normal human fibroblasts, up-regulation and
phosphorylation of p53 was sensitive to the ATM kinase inhibitor wortmannin. ATM-deficient fibroblasts exhibited a delay in p53 up-regulation indicating a role for ATM in triggering the MNNG-induced response. Likewise, a mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient colorectal tumor
line failed to show rapid up-regulation of p53. However, unlike
ATM-deficient cells, these MMR-deficient cells displayed rapid
phosphorylation of the p53 residue serine 15 after MNNG. In
vitro kinase assays indicate that ATM is rapidly activated in
both normal and MMR-deficient cells in response to MNNG. Using a number
of morphological and biochemical approaches, we failed to observe
MNNG-induced apoptosis in normal human fibroblasts, suggesting that
apoptosis-induced DNA strand breaks are not required for the activation
of ATM in response to MNNG. Comet assays indicated that strand breaks
accumulated, and p53 up-regulation/phosphorylation occurred quite
rapidly (within 30 min) after MNNG treatment, suggesting that DNA
strand breaks that arise during the repair process activate ATM. These
findings indicate that ATM activation is not limited to the ionizing
radiation-induced response and potentially plays an important role in
response to DNA alkylation.
