Abstract

We have previously shown that neoadjuvant chemotherapy can induce the degradation of tumour ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in patients with advanced breast Cancer, a phenomenon we termed "RNA disruption". Extensive tumour RNA disruption during chemotherapy was associated with a post-treatment pathological complete response and improved disease-free survival. The RNA disruption assay (RDA), which quantifies this phenomenon, is now being evaluated for its clinical utility in a large multinational clinical trial. However, it remains unclear if RNA disruption (i) is manifested across many tumour and non-tumour cell types, (ii) can occur in response to cell stress, and (iii) is associated with tumour cell death. In this study, we show that RNA disruption is induced by several mechanistically distinct chemotherapy agents and report that this phenomenon is observed in response to oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, protein translation inhibition and nutrient/growth factor limitation. We further show that RNA disruption is dose- and time-dependent, and occurs in both tumourigenic and non-tumourigenic cell types. Northern blotting experiments suggest that the rRNA fragments generated during RNA disruption stem (at least in part) from the 28S rRNA. Moreover, we demonstrate that RNA disruption is reproducibly associated with three robust biomarkers of cell death: strongly reduced cell numbers, lost cell replicative capacity, and the generation of cells with a subG1 DNA content. Thus, our findings indicate that RNA disruption is a widespread phenomenon exhibited in mammalian cells under stress, and that high RNA disruption is associated with the onset of cell death.
