Gene expression of fibroblasts carrying SAMHD1 mutations or not


ABSTRACT: In mammalian cells, the catabolic activity of the dNTP triphosphohydrolase SAMHD1 sets the balance and the concentrations of the four dNTPs. Deficiency of SAMHD1 leads to unequally increased pools and marked dNTP imbalance. Although it is documented that imbalanced dNTP pool expansion increases mutation frequency in cancer cells, it is not known if the SAMHD1-induced dNTP imbalance favors accumulation of somatic mutations in non-transformed cells. Here we have investigated how fibroblasts isolated from Aicardi Goutières Syndrome (AGS) patients with mutated SAMHD1 react to the constitutive pool imbalance characterized by a huge dGTP pool. We focused on the effects on dNTP pools, cell-cycle progression, dynamics and fidelity of DNA replication, efficiency of UV-induced DNA repair. AGS fibroblasts entered senescence prematurely or upregulated genes involved in G1/S transition and DNA replication. The normally growing AGS cells exhibited unchanged DNA replication dynamics and, when quiescent, faster rate of excision repair of UV-induced DNA damages than wildtype fibroblasts. To investigate if the lack of SAMHD1 affects DNA replication fidelity we compared de novo mutations in AGS and WT cells by exome next generation sequencing. Somatic variant analysis indicated a mutator phenotype suggesting that SAMHD1 is a caretaker gene whose deficiency is per se mutagenic promoting genome instability in non-transformed cells.
