description Abstract Objective To study the effect of inhibitor of differentiation 3 (ID3) on radiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer and to explore its primary mechanism. Methods Cell proliferation and clonogenic assays were used to study the relationship between ID3 and radiosensitivity. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence were performed to analyze the possible mechanism of ID3 in the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer. At the same time, a xenograft tumor model of HCT116 cells in nude mice was established to study the effect of irradiation on the tumorigenesis of ID3 knockdown colorectal cancer cells in vivo. Immunohistochemistry was performed to analyze the relationship between ID3 expression and the efficacy of radiotherapy in 46 patients with rectal cancer. Results Proliferation and clonogenic assays revealed that the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells decreased with ID3 depletion through p53–independent pathway. With the decrease in ID3 expression, MDC1 was downregulated. Furthermore, the expression of ID3, MDC1, and γH2AX increased and formed foci after irradiation. ID3 interacted with PPARγ and form a positive feedback loop to enhance the effect of ID3 on the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer. Irradiation tests in nude mice also confirmed that HCT116 cells with ID3 knockdown were more affected by irradiation. Immunohistochemical study showed that rectal cancer patients with low expression of ID3 had better radiotherapy efficacy. Conclusions ID3 and PPARγ influence the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells by interacting with MDC1 to form a positive feedback loop that promotes DNA damage repair. Patients with low expression of ID3 who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy can obtain a better curative effect.
