摘要

The MEK-ERK pathway plays a role in DNA damage response (DDR). This has been thoroughly studied by modulating MEK activation. However, much less has been done to directly examine the contributions of ERK1 and ERK2 kinases to DDR. Etoposide induces G2/M arrest in a variety of cell lines, including MCF7 cells. DNA damage-induced G2/M arrest depends on the activation of the protein kinase ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM). ATM subsequently activates CHK2 by phosphorylating CHK2 threonine 68 (T68) and CHK2 inactivates CDC25C via phosphorylation of its serine 216 (S216), resulting in G2/M arrest. To determine the contribution of ERK1 and ERK2 to etoposide-induced G2/M arrest, we individually knocked-down ERK1 and ERK2 in MCF7 cells using specific small interfering RNA (siRNA). Knockdown of either kinases significantly reduced ATM activation in response to etoposide treatment, and thereby attenuated phosphorylation of the ATM substrates, including the S139 of H2AX (γH2AX), p53 S15, and CHK2 T68. Consistent with these observations, knockdown of either ERK1 or ERK2 reduced etoposide-induced CDC25C S216 phosphorylation and significantly compromised etoposide-induced G2/M arrest in MCF7 cells. Taken together, we demonstrated that both ERK1 and ERK2 kinases play a role in etoposide-induced G2/M arrest by facilitating activation of the ATM pathway. These observations suggest that a cellular threshold level of ERK kinase activity is required for the proper checkpoint activation in MCF7 cells.
