Targeting natural splicing plasticity of APOBEC3B restricts its expression and mutagenic activity

Abstract: APOBEC3A (A3A) and APOBEC3B (A3B) enzymes drive APOBEC-mediated mutagenesis. Identification of factors affecting the activity of these enzymes could help modulate mutagenesis and associated clinical outcomes. Here, we show that canonical and alternatively spliced A3A and A3B isoforms produce corresponding mutagenic and non-mutagenic enzymes. Increased expression of the mutagenic A3B isoform predicted shorter progression-free survival in bladder cancer. We demonstrate that the production of mutagenic vs. non-mu… Show more

“…High APOBEC3B expression was also associated with more APOBEC3-induced mutations in lung cancer, while both APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B levels were correlated with APOBEC3-induced mutations in breast cancer [ 22 , 47 , 53 , 54 ]. Similar associations have been observed in bladder cancer, which has one of the highest APOBEC3-induced mutation burden [ 1 , 27 , 34 , 46 ]. In cholangiocarcinoma, only APOBEC3A expression was associated with APOBEC3-induced mutation burden [ 43 ].…”

“…Exposure to certain drugs can also trigger APOBEC3-mediated mutagenesis, and chemotherapies such as bleomycin, cisplatin, etoposide, 5-fluorouracil, gemcitabine, hydroxyurea, aphidicolin, and camptothecin have all been shown to induce APOBEC3 expression in cancer cell lines [ 1 , 61 , 90 , 91 ]. NF-κB signaling likely mediates APOBEC3 induction in response to some of these drugs, but replication stress and PI3K signaling may also play major role (Fig.…”

“…The canonical and non-canonical NF-κB pathway and b-Myb enhance A3B transcription, while E2F complexes suppress it 8 11 . Post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms include protein kinase A mediated phosphorylation which inhibits A3B mutagenic activity 12 and alternative splicing of A3B which creates non-mutagenic isoforms 13 .…”
