摘要

We have previously shown that there is a deficiency in the structural protein, nonerythroid α spectrin (αIISp), in cells from patients with Fanconi anemia (FA). These studies indicate that this deficiency is due to reduced stability of αIISp and correlates with decreased repair of DNA interstrand cross-links and chromosomal instability in FA cells. An important factor in the stability of αIISp is its susceptibility to cleavage by the protease, μ-calpain. We hypothesized that increased μ-calpain cleavage of αIISp in FA cells leads to increased breakdown of αIISp and that knocking-down expression of μ-calpain in FA cells should restore levels of αIISp and correct a number of the phenotypic defects observed. The results showed that there is increased μ-calpain activity in FA-A, FA-C, FA-D2, FA-F and FA-G cells which could account for the deficiency in αIISp in these FA cells. Protein interaction studies indicated that FANCA and FANCG bind directly to μ-calpain. We hypothesize that this binding may lead to inhibition of μ-calpain activity in normal cells. Knocking-down μ-calpain by siRNA in FA-A cells restored levels of αIISp to normal and reversed a number of the cellular deficiencies in these cells. It corrected the DNA repair defect and the chromosomal instability observed after exposure to a DNA interstrand cross-linking agent. These studies indicated that FA proteins may play an important role in maintaining stability of αIISp in the cell by regulating its cleavage by μ-calpain. Thus by reducing breakdown of αIISp in FA cells, it may be possible to reverse a number of the cellular deficiencies observed in this disorder.
