Genome sequencing studies have revealed a number of cancer-associated mutations in the telomere-binding factor POT1. Here, we show that when combined with p53 deficiency, depletion of murine POT1a in common lymphoid progenitor cells fosters genetic instability, accelerates the onset, and increases the severity of T cell lymphomas. In parallel, we examined human and mouse cells carrying POT1 mutations found in cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) patients. Inhibition of POT1 activates ATR-dependent DNA damage signaling and induces telomere fragility, replication fork stalling, and telomere elongation. Our data suggest that these phenotypes are linked to impaired CST (CTC1-STN1-TEN1) function at telomeres. Lastly, we show that proliferation of cancer cells lacking POT1 is enabled by the attenuation of the ATR kinase pathway. These results uncover a role for defective telomere replication during tumorigenesis.
基因组测序研究已经揭示了端粒结合因子POT1中一些与癌症相关的突变。在此,我们表明,当与p53缺陷相结合时,在普通淋巴祖细胞中缺失小鼠POT1a会促进基因不稳定,加速T细胞淋巴瘤的发病,并增加其严重程度。同时,我们研究了携带在皮肤T细胞淋巴瘤(CTCL)患者中发现的POT1突变的人类和小鼠细胞。抑制POT1会激活ATR依赖性DNA损伤信号传导,并诱导端粒脆性、复制叉停滞和端粒延长。我们的数据表明,这些表型与端粒处受损的CST(CTC1-STN1-TEN1)功能有关。最后,我们表明,缺乏POT1的癌细胞的增殖是由ATR激酶途径的减弱所促成的。这些结果揭示了肿瘤发生过程中端粒复制缺陷的作用。
