Retroviral mutagenesis in haploid ES cells

ABSTRACT: Retroviral integration sites were mapped using inverse PCR to assess preferred integration sites of this virus in the genome after infection with the retrovirus and its impact on gene expression. Inverse PCR was applied on genomic DNA to identify retroviral integration sites. Inverse PCR allows to identify multiple genomic insertions of a gene trap virus in parallel.

All somatic mammalian cells carry two copies of chromosomes (diploidy), whereas organisms with a single copy of their genome, such as yeast, provide a basis for recessive genetics. Here we report the generation of haploid mouse ESC lines from parthenogenetic embryos. These cells carry 20 chromosomes, express stem cell markers, and develop into all germ layers in vitro and in vivo. We also developed a reversible mutagenesis protocol that allows saturated genetic recessive screens and results in h ...[more]

Project description:We investigated the influence of genome position on propensity to amplify. First, we integrated a mutant form of DHFR into different positions in the human genome, challenged cells with methotrexate and then studied the genomic alterations arising in drug resistant cells. We observed site specific differences in methotrexate sensitivity, organization of amplicons and amplification frequency. One site was uniquely associated with a significantly enhanced propensity to amplify and recurrent amplicon boundaries, possibly implicating a rare folate sensitive fragile site in initiating amplification. Hierarchical clustering of gene expression patterns and subsequent gene enrichment analysis revealed two clusters differing significantly in expression of MYC target genes independent of integration site. We introduced a mutant form of DHFR (L22F), which confers greater resistance to methotrexate than the wild type (endogenous) gene into HCT116+chr3 cells and isolated independent clones containing DHFR* at different positions in the genome and identified genome sequences flanking the integration site of DHFR* using inverse PCR. For further analysis, we selected only clones, which were considered to have a single insertion of DHFR* by inverse PCR (13 independent insertion sites). The individual insertion site clones were further characterized with respect to genome copy number profiles. To select methotrexate resistant colonies, we exposed cells to a concentration of methotrexate that was three to four times the IC-50 for each integration site. Genomic copy number profiles were obtained for isolated resistant colonies (GSE6262) by using UCSF HumArray platform (GPL4421). Twelve methotrexate resistant colonies (four different integration sites) were selected for microarray analysis of gene expression at the mRNA level. The untreated integration site clone was used as the reference (Cy5 labeled cDNA) for each of the hybridizations with its respective resistant colonies (Cy3 labeled cDNA). Hybridizations were carried out on arrays of printed long oligonucleotides (70mers) containing 21,000 elements (Operon V2.0, printed in J. David Gladstone Institutes, Genomics Core Laboratory).

Project description:Background We have developed and validated a set of complementary retroviruses that creates a wide range of nested chromosomal deletions. When applied to mouse ES cells, this retrovirus-based method generated deletions ranging from 6 kb to 23 Mb (average 2.9 Mb), with an efficiency of 64% for drugs-selected clones. Importantly, several of engineered ES cell clones, mostly those with large deletions, showed major alteration in cell fate. The set of complementary replication-defective retroviruses exploited the Cre-loxP recombination system and reconstitution of a functional neomycin cassette for selection of recombination events. The first loxP sequenced was delivered using the anchor virus A1. The integration was selected on puromycin. ES cell clones containing one copy of the virus A1 were isolated and expanded (primary clones). A second loxP was introduced by retroviral gene transfer using the saturation virus S1, selected on hygromycin (secondary clones). The transient expression of the recombinase Cre in secondary clones allowed the recombination between the loxP sites and the functional reconstitution of a split neomycin expression cassette. Neomycin resistant clones (tertiary clones) were isolated and expanded. Chromosomal deletions are expected to have occurred in neomycin resistant clones that have lost both puromycin and hygromycin resistance genes. In addition, other chromosomal rearrangements (e.g., inversions, translocations, etc.) are achievable using this system. Aim Inverse-PCR, array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and spectral karyotyping were employed to confirm deletions (or other Cre-induced rearrangements) in several tertiary clones and to assess the genomic integrity of the ES cells altered. Conclusions aCGH conclusions are summarized together with complementary results from inverse-PCR and spectral karyotyping in 3 tables: Table 1: Summary of the virus A1 integration Table 2: Characteristics of independent deletions confirmed by IPCR-aCGH Table 3: Confirmed or suspected recombination events in trans Notes for Table 2: Mapping and deletion analyses were done using the UCSC Genome Browser (NCBI mouse Build 33). {a} Tertiary clones are labeled according to their family number (same integration of virus A1), followed by a specific id number. If more than one clone presented a redundant rearrangement within the same group infected with virus S1, only one is reported for clarity. {b} Anomaly that was not present in the primary clone from which the tertiary clone was derived, as determined by aCGH or SKY. ( -), no anomaly; (+), additional anomaly. {c} The deletion is not observed, in agreement with the resolution of aCGH. {d} Normal except for the loss of chromosome Y. {e} Amplification of chromosome 1. {f} Amplification of chromosome 8. {g} Many chromosomes were lost according to SKY. {h} Amplification on chromosome 14. Id, identification; kb, kilobase pairs; no., number; aCGH, array-based comparative genomic hybridization; SKY, spectral karyotyping; I-PCR, inverse-PCR; n.d., not determined.
