RESUMO
Drug resistance is the main obstacle in the treatment of many cancers. It is of great clinical significance to study the mechanism of drug resistance and find new targets. Multi-omics mainly includes genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and radiomics. In recent years, the research of tumor resistance has made rapid development, which has significantly accelerated the discovery of new targets.

OBJECTIVES: The individual differences and pervasive resistance seriously hinder the optimization of irinotecan-based therapeutic effectiveness. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3a (eIF3a) plays a key role in tumour occurrence, prognosis and therapeutic response. This study focused on the role of eIF3a in irinotecan-induced DNA damage response. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cck8 cell viability and clone survival analyses were used to test the regulatory role of eIF3a on irinotecan sensitivity in HT29 and CACO2 cell lines in vitro. This regulatory role was also verified in vivo by conducting subcutaneous xenograft model. Irinotecan-induced DNA damage, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were tested by flow cytometry analysis, TUNEL staining, western blot and comet assays. The immunofluorescence, co-IP, luciferase reporter assay, RIP and flow cytometric analyses were carried out to investigate the underline mechanism. RESULTS: We demonstrated that eIF3a continuously activates ATM/ATR signal by translationally inhibiting PPP2R5A, a phosphatase that directly dephosphorylates and inactivates ATM/ATR after DNA repair complete. Suppression of PPP2R5A resulted in chronic ATM/ATR phosphorylation and activation, impairing DNA repair and enhancing irinotecan sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggested eIF3a with a high potential to influence phenotypic functions, which may contribute substantially to the early identification of susceptible individuals and the provision of personalized medication to irinotecan-treated patients.
