AKT1 inhibits homologous recombination by inducing cytoplasmic retention of BRCA1 and RAD51
Abstract
AKT1 is frequently up-regulated in sporadic breast cancer, whereas BRCA1 is frequently mutated in familial breast cancer. Because BRCA1 is involved in homologous recombination (HR), we addressed whether AKT1 also has an effect on this process. We showed that AKT1 repressed HR through cytoplasmic retention of BRCA1 and RAD51 proteins, resulting in a BRCA1-deficient-like phenotype. This process does not require direct BRCA1 phosphorylation by AKT1. The cytoplasmic retention of BRCA1 and RAD51 correlated with activated AKT1 in tumor cell lines and in biopsies from sporadic breast cancers. Under nonpathologic conditions, fibroblast growth factor, which activates AKT1 and stimulates proliferation in fibroblasts, impaired excessive HR without fully inhibiting it, promoting genome stability. Our study reveals that the regulation of BRCA1 and RAD51 is altered in a high frequency of sporadic breast cancers and highlights the role of extracellular AKT signaling-dependent regulation of HR and genome stability.
