Abstract

Cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy is the standard of care in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, in a large number of cases, the disease becomes resistant or does not respond to CDDP, and thus progresses and disseminates. In such cases, prognosis of patients is very poor. CDDP manifests its cytotoxic effects mainly through DNA damage induction. Hence, response to CDDP is mainly dependent on DNA damage repair and tolerance mechanisms. Herein, we have examined CDDP response in a panel of the urothelial carcinoma cell (UCC) lines. We characterized these cell lines with regard to viability after CDDP treatment, as well as kinetics of induction and repair of CDDP-induced DNA damage. We demonstrate that repair of CDDP-induced DNA lesions correlates, at least to some extent, with CDDP sensitivity. Furthermore, we monitored expression of the key genes involved in selected DNA repair and tolerance mechanisms, nucleotide excision repair, homologous recombination and translesion DNA synthesis, and show that it differs in the UCC lines and positively correlates with CDDP resistance. Our data indicate that CDDP response in the UCC lines is dependent on DNA damage repair and tolerance factors, which may, therefore, represent valuable therapeutic targets in this malignancy.
