RNA 5-methylcytosine status is associated with DNMT2/TRDMT1 nuclear localization in osteosarcoma cell lines

Sumario: | Osteosarcoma (OS) is a pediatric malignant bone tumor with unsatisfying improvements in survival rates due to limited understanding of OS biology and potentially druggable targets. The present study aims to better characterize osteosarcoma U-2 OS, SaOS-2, and MG-63 cell lines that are commonly used as in vitro models of OS. We focused on evaluating the differences in cell death pathways, redox equilibrium, the activity of proliferation-related signaling pathways, DNA damage response, telomere maintenance, DNMT2/TRDMT1-based responses and RNA 5-methylcytosine status. SaOS-2 cells were characterized by higher levels of superoxide and nitric oxide that promoted AKT and ERK1/2 activation thus modulating cell death pathways. OS cell lines also differed in the levels and localization of DNA repair regulator DNMT2/TRDMT1. SaOS-2 cells possessed the lowest levels of total, cytoplasmic and nuclear DNMT2/TRDMT1, whereas in MG-63 cells, the highest levels of nuclear DNMT2/TRDMT1 were associated with the most pronounced status of RNA 5-methylcytosine. In silico analysis revealed potential phosphorylation sites at DNMT2/TRDMT1 that may be related to the regulation of DNMT2/TRDMT1 localization. We postulate that redox homeostasis, proliferation-related pathways and DNMT2/TRDMT1-based effects can be modulated as a part of anti-osteosarcoma strategy reflecting diverse phenotypic features of OS cells. |
