Summary |
Long-term toxicities caused by cancer treatments have recently gained increasing recognition due to a steadily growing population of cancer survivors. Radiotherapy (RT) is a common treatment known to unintentionally harm surrounding normal tissues including the skin, hindering wound healing even years after treatment. Our study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these late-onset adverse effects caused by RT. By comparing paired skin biopsies from previously irradiated (RT+) and non-irradiated (RT-) sites in breast cancer survivors who underwent RT years ago, we discovered compromised wound healing capacity and impaired fibroblast functions in the RT+ skin. By employing ATAC-seq, we identified altered chromatin landscapes in RT+ fibroblasts, pinpointing THBS1 as a crucial epigenetically primed wound repair-related gene. Further confirmation of THBS1's significance during wound repair came from single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomic analysis of human wounds. Remarkably, heightened and sustained THBS1 expression was observed in RT+ fibroblasts in both mouse and human radiation wound models, leading to impaired fibroblast motility and contractility. Encouragingly, our study found that treatment with anti-THBS1 antibodies promoted ex vivo wound closure in RT+ skin from breast cancer survivors. These findings indicate that dermal fibroblasts retain a long-term radiation memory recorded in the form of epigenetic changes. Targeting this maladaptive epigenetic memory shows promise for mitigating the late-onset adverse effects caused by RT, offering potential solutions to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors.

Overall design |
ATAC-seq was conducted on human skin fibroblasts isolated from both previously irradiated and non-irradiated areas of the same cancer patient, aiming to identify open chromatin regions across the genome. ATAC-seq was performed on human skin dermal fibroblasts treated with and without in vitro irradiation to identify open chromatin regions across the genome. ATAC-seq was performed on mouse dermal cells or fibroblasts isolated from irradiated or non-irradiated mice to identify open chromatin regions across the genome.
