Note (General)The radiosensitization of tumor cells is one of the promising approaches for enhancing radiation damage to cancer cells and limiting radiation effects on normal tissue. In this study, we performed a comprehensive screening of radiosensitization targets in human lung cancer cell line A549 using an shRNA library and identified apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3G (APOBEC3G: A3G) as a candidate target. APOBEC3G is an innate restriction factor that inhibits HIV-1 infection as a cytidine deaminase. APOBEC3G knockdown with siRNA showed an increased radiosensitivity in several cancer cell lines, including pancreatic cancer MIAPaCa2 cells and lung cancer A549 cells. Cell cycle analysis revealed that APOBEC3G knockdown increased S-phase arrest in MIAPaCa2 and G2/M arrest in A549 cells after γ-irradiation. DNA double-strand break marker γH2AX level was increased in APOBEC3G-knocked-down MIAPaCa2 cells after γ-irradiation. Using a xenograft model of A549 in mice, enhanced radiosensitivity by a combination of X-ray irradiation and APOBEC3G knockdown was observed. These results suggest that the functional inhibition of APOBEC3G sensitizes cancer cells to radiation by attenuating the activation of the DNA repair pathway, suggesting that APOBEC3G could be useful as a target for the radiosensitization of cancer therapy.
