3D genome organization, transcription and aberrant DNA replication contribute to genome instability at fragile sites

ABSTRACT: Common fragile sites (CFSs) are regions susceptible to replication stress and are hotspots for chromosomal instability in cancer. Several features characterizing CFSs have been associated with their instability, however, these features are prevalent across the genome and do not account for all known CFSs. Here we explored the transcriptional profile and DNA replication timing under mild replication stress in the context of the 3D genome organization. We report the analysis of nascent RNA-seq for high-throughput profiling of gene expression in human fibroblasts (BJ-hTERT), grown with or without aphidicolin, a DNA polymerase inhibitor used to induce CFS expression. We find that aphidicolin treatment does not affect the transcriptional program. However, large expressed genes are susceptible to replication timing delay under stress. We further study the mechanism leading to recurrent chromosomal instability at CFSs and find that the 3D genome organization underlies fragility at large expressed genes. We report a fragility signature at the core of CFSs comprised of a large expressed gene spanning over a TAD-boundary with delayed DNA replication. The fragility signature allows for mapping of the core fragile site and the identification of novel fragile sites in BJ cells.

3D genome organization, transcription and aberrant DNA replication contribute to genome instability at fragile sites

Project description:Common fragile sites (CFSs) are regions susceptible to replication stress and are hotspots for chromosomal instability in cancer. Several features characterizing CFSs have been associated with their instability, however, these features are prevalent across the genome and do not account for all known CFSs. Here we explored the DNA replication timing (RT) and transcriptional profile under mild replication stress in the context of the 3D genome organization. We report the analysis of DNA replication timing profiling of human fibroblasts (BJ-hTERT), grown with or without aphidicolin, a DNA polymerase inhibitor used to induce CFS expression. We find that aphidicolin treatment affects the RT of a small portion of the genome. However, CFSs are enriched for delayed RT regions under stress. We further study the mechanism leading to recurrent chromosomal instability at CFSs and find that the 3D genome organization underlies fragility at RT delayed large expressed genes. We report a fragility signature at the core of CFSs comprised of delayed replication of large expressed gene spanning over a TAD-boundary. The fragility signature allows for mapping of the core fragile site and the identification of novel fragile sites in BJ cells.

Genome-wide replication dynamics quantification reveals stress-induced delayed/under-replication as a hallmark of CFSs

Project description:We report Repli-Seq analysis of the replication program in human lymphoblasts grown in the absence or in the presence of aphidicolin, an inhibitor of replicative DNA polymerases used in vitro to destabilize CFSs. We identified regions displaying specific replication delay upon aphidicolin treatment, resulting in under-replication. We then further study the mechanisms leading to such specific delayed/under-replication within CFSs and show that transcription-dependent segregation of initiation events out of the gene body generates long-traveling forks in large transcribed domains, which elicits the replication timing delay responsible for CFS instability upon replication stress.

Replication timing data for six human cell lines under aphidicolin treatment (t0) and after release (N+1)

Project description:DNA replication is very well orchestrated in mammalian cells due to a tight regulation of the temporal order of replication origin activation, known as the replication timing program. The replication timing of a given replication domain is very robust and well conserved in each cell type. Upon low replication stress, the slowing of replication forks induces delayed replication of some fragile regions leading to DNA damage and genetic instability. Except for these fragile regions, the direct impact of low replication stress on the replication timing in different cellular backgrounds has not been explored in detail. Here we analysed DNA replication timing across the whole genome in a panel of human cell lines in the presence of low replication stress. We demonstrate that low replication stress induced by aphidicolin has a stronger impact on the replication timing of cancer cells than non-tumour cells. Strikingly, we unveiled an enrichment of specific replication domains undergoing a switch from late to early replication in some cancer cells. We found that advances in replication timing correlate with heterochromatin regions poorly sensitive to DNA damage signalling while being subject to an increase of chromatin accessibility in response to aphidicolin. Finally, our data indicate that, following release from replication stress conditions, replication timing advances can be inherited by the next cellular generation, suggesting a new mechanism by which some cancer cells would adapt to cellular or environmental stress.

Bru-seq nascent RNA sequencing of human and mouse cells: correlation to replication timing and genome instability

Project description:Bru-seq nascent RNA sequencing (PubMed ID 23973811) was performed on two primary human fibroblast cell lines, mouse embryonic stem cells, and GM12878 human lymphoblastoid cells. Read data, which include both exon and intron signals, were used to identify transcription unit spans genome-wide, where a transcription unit is roughly correspondent to the longest expressed isoform of a gene. However, because algorithms were not constrained by annotated genes, transcription units need not and often do not correspond precisely to gene boundaries and include extragenic transcription. Transcription units were then compared to separate data sets that comprised induced copy number variants, common fragile sites, and Repli-seq replication timing. The objective was to discover the relationships between transcription unit span and size, local genomic instability, and replication timing. This GEO sample series provides the span and intensity of transcription units called genome-wide in the various samples. Correlations to genome stability and replication timing are provided in the associated manuscript. In addition, one human fibroblast line and the mouse embryonic stem cells had paired samples treated and untreated with low dose aphidicolin. Gene RPKM signal intensities are provided for these samples, although comparing these was not the principal objective of the study. Bru-seq single-read nascent RNA sequencing on human 090 fibroblasts +/- aphidicolin treatment, human UMHF1 fibroblasts (3 replicates), human GM12878 lymphoblastoid cells, and mouse embryonic stem cells+/- aphidicolin treatment.

Tight CDK1 inhibition elicits domain-specific pre-RC setting in S-phase, suppressing CFS instability

Project description:Genome integrity requires replication to be completed before chromosome segregation. This coordination essentially relies on replication-dependent activation of a dedicated checkpoint that inhibits CDK1, delaying mitotic onset. Under-replication of Common Fragile Sites (CFSs), however, escapes surveillance, which generates mitotic chromosome breaks. Using human cells, we asked whether this leakage results from insufficient CDK1 inhibition under modest stresses used to destabilize CFSs. We found that tight CDK1 inhibition does suppress CFS instability in so-stressed cells. Molecular combing and Repli-Seq analyses consistently showed a burst of replication initiations in mid S-phase across large origin-poor domains shaped by transcription, including CFSs. CFS rescue and extra-initiations strikingly require availability of essential pre-Replication Complex (pre-RC) proteins during the S-phase, showing that CDK1 inhibition promotes targeted and mistimed pre-RC reloading. In addition to delay mitotic onset, tight checkpoint activation therefore advances replication completion of origin-poor domains at risk of under-replication, two complementary roles preserving genome stability.

Long Neural Genes Harbor Recurrent DNA Break Clusters in Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells

Project description:Repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by non-homologous end-joining is critical for neural development, and brain cells frequently contain somatic genomic variations that might involve DSB intermediates. We now use an unbiased, high-throughput approach to identify genomic regions harboring recurrent DSBs in primary neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). We identify 27 recurrent DSB clusters (RDCs) and, remarkably, all occur within gene bodies. Most of these NSPC RDCs were detected only upon mild, aphidicolin-induced replication stress, providing a nucleotide-resolution view of replication-associated genomic fragile sites. The vast majority of RDCs occur in long, transcribed, and late-replicating genes. Moreover, almost 90% of identified RDC-containing genes are involved in synapse function and/or neural cell adhesion, with a substantial fraction also implicated in tumor suppression and/or mental disorders. Our characterization of NSPC RDCs reveals a basis of gene fragility and suggests potential impacts of DNA breaks on neurodevelopment and neural functions. We performed high-throughput, genome-wide, translocation sequencing (HTGTS) and GRO-seq in primary mouse neural stem/progenitor cells of the indicated genotypes.

MNase digestion-sensitive nucleosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:The structural complexity of nucleosomes underlies their functional versatility. Here we report a new type of complexity – nucleosome fragility, manifested as high sensitivity to micrococcal nuclease, in contrast to the common presumption that nucleosomes are similar in resistance to MNase digestion. Using differential MNase digestion of chromatin and high-throughput sequencing, we have identified a special group of nucleosomes termed fragile nucleosomes throughout the yeast genome, nearly one thousand of which are at previously determined “nucleosome free” loci. Nucleosome fragility is broadly implicated in multiple chromatin processes, including transcription, translocation and replication, in correspondence to specific physiological states of cells. In the environmental-stress-response genes, the presence of fragile nucleosomes prior to the occurrence of environmental changes suggests that nucleosome fragility poises genes for swift up-regulation in response to the environmental changes. We propose that nucleosome fragility underscores distinct functional statuses of the chromatin and provides a new dimension for portraying the landscape of genome organization. Comparing nucleosome occupancy under different MNase digestion levels and growth conditions.
