Radiation therapy is beneficial for cancer patients, and this study provides a comprehensive investigation of the differential expression of small GTPase proteins associated with the development of radioresistance in breast cancer cells. The study identifies ARFRP1 as a novel regulator of radioresistance and a potential target for enhancing radiation sensitivity in breast cancer. This research has important implications for the treatment of breast cancer.
Radiation therapy benefits more than 50% of all cancer patients and cures 40% of them, where ionizing radiation (IR) deposits energy to cells and tissues, thereby eliciting DNA damage and resulting in cell death. Small GTPases are a superfamily of proteins that play critical roles in cell signaling. Several small GTPases, including RAC1, RHOB, and RALA, were previously shown to modulate radioresistance in cancer cells. However, there is no systematic proteomic study on small GTPases that regulate radioresistance in cancer cells. Herein, we applied a high-throughput scheduled multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) method, along with the use of synthetic stable isotope-labeled (SIL) peptides, to identify differentially expressed small GTPase proteins in two pairs of breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and MCF7, and their corresponding radioresistant cell lines. We identified 7 commonly altered small GTPase proteins with over 1.5-fold changes in the two pairs of cell lines. We also discovered ARFRP1 as a novel regulator of radioresistance, where its downregulation promotes radioresistance in breast cancer cells. Together, this represents the first comprehensive investigation about the differential expression of the small GTPase proteome associated with the development of radioresistance in breast cancer cells. Our work also uncovered ARFRP1 as a new target for enhancing radiation sensitivity in breast cancer.
