The onset of inflammation is associated with reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage to macromolecules such as 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) in DNA. Since 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) binds to 8-oxoG and Ogg1-deficient mice are resistant to acute and systemic inflammation, the researchers hypothesized that OGG1 inhibition may represent a strategy to prevent and treat inflammation. They developed TH5487, a selective OGG1 active site inhibitor that blocks OGG1 binding to and repair of 8-oxoG and is well tolerated by mice. TH5487 prevents tumor necrosis factor α-induced OGG1-DNA interactions at guanine-rich pro-inflammatory gene promoters. This in turn reduces nuclear factor κB DNA occupancy and pro-inflammatory gene expression, leading to reduced immune cell recruitment in the lungs of mice. Thus, they present a proof of concept that targeting oxidative DNA repair could alleviate inflammatory conditions in vivo.
For OGG1 inhibitors to exert pharmacological effects, they need to bind to OGG1 in cells and inhibit its activity. TH5487 increased the melting temperature of OGG1 in human cells (Figure 1A), indicating that TH5487 binds to its target in living cells and protects it from thermal denaturation. In addition, TH5487 also impaired KBrO3-induced genomic 8-oxoG repair. TH5487 caused a significant increase in genomic 8-oxoG after 2.5 hours (Figure 1B and C), and after 24 hours, 50 ± 8% of 8-oxoG remained in TH5487-treated cells (Figure 1C) without disrupting proliferation. Therefore, both genomic 8-oxoG and TH5487 are well tolerated by cells. Treatment with TH5487 increased the nuclear mobility of OGG1-GFP at 3 and 5 h after KBrO3 exposure (Figure 1D and E), indicating that TH5487 prevents OGG1 from binding to its genomic substrates in living cells. In addition, OGG1 knockout HEK293T cell showed reduced induction of CXCL1 [chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1] mRNA after tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) stimulation (Figure 1F). Treatment with 5 μM TH5487 reduced CXCL1 expression by more than 50% in wild-type cells but not in OGG1 knockout HEK293T cells (Figure 1F). Therefore, this compound can be used to specifically inhibit OGG1-dependent proinflammatory gene expression.
