Human DCTPP1 (dCTP pyrophosphatase 1), also known as XTP3-transactivated protein
A, belongs to MazG-like nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphatase (NTP-PPase)
superfamily. Being a newly identified pyrophosphatase, its relevance to
tumorigenesis and the mechanisms are not well investigated. In the present study,
we have confirmed our previous study that DCTPP1 was significantly hyperexpressed
in breast cancer and further demonstrated its strong association with tumor
progression and poor prognosis in breast cancer. Knockdown of DCTPP1 in breast
cancer cell line MCF-7 cells remarkably retarded proliferation and colony
formation in vitro. The capacity of mammosphere formation of MCF-7 was suppressed
with the silence of DCTPP1, which was consistent with the enhanced
mammosphere-forming ability in DCTPP1-overexpressed MDA-MB-231 cells. To further
dissect the mechanisms of DCTPP1 in promoting tumor cell growth and stemness
maintenance, its biochemical properties and biological functions were
investigated. DCTPP1 displayed bioactive form with tetrameric structure similar
to other MazG domain-containing pyrophosphatases based on structure simulation. A
substrate preference for dCTP and its methylated or halogen-modified derivatives
over the other canonical (deoxy-) NTPs was demonstrated from enzymatic assay.
This substrate preference was also proved in breast cancer cells that the
intracellular 5-methyl-dCTP level increased in DCTPP1-deficient MCF-7 cells but
decreased in DCTPP1-overexpressed MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, global methylation
level was elevated in DCTPP1-knockdown MCF-7 cells or mammosphere-forming MCF-7
cells but decreased significantly in DCTPP1-overexpressed MDA-MB-231 cells and
its mammospheres. Our results thus indicated that human DCTPP1 was capable of
modulating the concentration of intracellular 5-methyl-dCTP. This in turn
affected global methylation, contributing to a known phenomenon of
hypomethylation related to the cancer cell growth and stemness maintenance. Our
current investigations point to the pathological functions of DCTPP1
overexpression in breast cancer cells with aberrant dCTP metabolism and
epigenetic modification.
