p53-dependent repression of DPYD is dependent on signaling from ATM and DNA-PK following TS inhibition. (A) Rescue of DPYD repression by inhibition of DNA damage response, HCT-116-WT and p53 −/− cells treated with 5-FU, with ATM (KU-55933) and DNA-PK (NU7026) inhibitors for 24 hrs. (B,C) Co-treatment with ATM and DNA-PK inhibitors relieves inhibited DPYD expression following targeting of TS with siRNA (TSsi) and Tomudex. The effects of siRNA targeting of DPYD on 72-hr cell-viability of HCT-116-WT and p53 −/− cells following treatment with isotoxic doses of 5-FU (D) and Tomudex. (E) High expression of DPYD mRNA predicts poor disease-free survival in colorectal cancer patients mainly with Duke Stage B and C as analyzed from the GSE14333 (Melbourne) data set. P-value was calculated by cox regression analysis (Cox P-Value = 0.00105).
