Research Abstract

In contrast to extensive studies on the roles of molecular chaperones in mammalian cell responses to DNA-damaging stresses, there are only a few reports about the roles of Bip/GRP78, an endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress-induced molecular chaperone. To investigate whether Bip/GRP78 is involved in resistance to a DNA-damaging agent, UVC (principally 254 nm in wavelength), we established human cells with down-regulation of Bip/GRP78 by transaction of human RSa cells with antisense cDNA for Bip/GRP. We found that the transfected cells showed higher sensitivity to UVC-induced cell death than control cells transfected with the vector alone. In the antisense-cDNA transfected cells, the removal capacities of the two major types of UVC-damaged DNA (thymine dimers and (6-4) photoproducts) in vivo and DNA synthesis activity of whole cell extracts to repair UVC-irradiated plasmids in vitro were remarkably decreased compared with those in the control cells. Furthermore, the antisense-cDNA transfected cells also showed slightly higher sensitivity to cisplatin-induced cell death than the control cells. Cisplatin-induced DNA damage is primarily repaired by nucleotide excision repair, like UVC-induced DNA damage. The present results suggest that Bip/GRP78 plays a protective role against UVC-induced cell death possibly via nucleotide excision repair, at least in the human RSa cells tested.
