Abstract Purpose: Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase regulates diverse cellular DNA damage responses, including genome surveillance, cell growth, and gene expression. While the role of histone acetylation/deacetylation in gene expression is well established, little is known as to whether this modification can activate an ATM-dependent signal pathway, and whether this modification can thereby be implicated in an ATM-mediated DNA damage response. Materials and Methods: Formation of H2AXγ foci was examined in HeLa and U2OS cells following treatment with a histone deacetylase inhibitor, Trichostatin A (TSA). We determine an ATM-dependency of the TSA-induced DNA damage signal pathway using isogenic A-T (ATM-) and control (ATM+) cells. We monitored the phosphorylation of ATM, an ATM-downstream effector kinase, Chk2, and H2AXγ to detect the activation of the ATM-de pendent DNA damage signal pathway. Results: Exposure of cells to TSA results in the formation of H2AXγ foci in HeLa and U2OS cells. The TSA-induced formation of H2AXγ foci occurs in an ATM-dependent manner. TSA induces phosphorylation of serine 1981 of ATM, accumulation of phosphorylated H2AX and Chk2, and formation of H2AX foci, in a manner analogous to genotoxic DNA damage. Conclusion: In this work, we show that TSA induces a DNA damage signaling pathway in an ATM-dependent manner. These results suggest that ATM can respond to altered histone acetylation induced by the histone deacetylase inhibitor, TSA. (Cancer Res Treat. 2007;39:125- 130)
