Outline of Final Research Achievements

Hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1beta enhances checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) activation and promotes G2/M cell cycle progression in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) following exposure to diverse genotoxic agents including bleomycin. Loss-of-function studies using RNAi-mediated gene silencing indicated that HNF-1beta facilitated the Claspin expression after treatment with a genotoxic agent bleomycin, resulting in accumulation of phosphorylated Chk1 (p-Chk1) and promotion of survival in CCC cell lines. This study showed for the first time that USP28, a de-ubiquitinase crucial for Claspin expression, is one target gene of HNF-1beta. Knockdown of endogenous USP28 suppressed the Claspin and p-Chk1 expression and cell viability. Our findings identify a novel pathway of the HNF-1beta―Claspin―Chk1 axis in checkpoint signal amplification in response to DNA damage. Targeting this pathway may represent a putative, novel, anticancer strategy in CCC.
