Project description:Surgical resection is the preferred treatment for Hepatocellular carcinoma; however, it induces tumor recurrence. Our objective was to understand the molecular mechanisms linking liver regeneration under chronic-inflammation to tumorigenesis. Mdr2-knockout mice, a model of inflammation-associated cancer, underwent partial-hepatectomy which led to enhanced hepatocarcinogenesis. Yet, liver regeneration in these mice was severely attenuated. We demonstrate the activation of the DNA damage response machinery and altered genomic instability during early liver inflammatory stages resulting in hepatocyte apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest, and suggest their involvement in tumor recurrence subsequent to partial hepatectomy. We propose that under the regenerative proliferative stress induced by liver resection, the genomic unstable hepatocytes generated during chronic-inflammation, escape apoptosis and reenter the cell-cycle, triggering the enhanced tumorigenesis At present, there is a great organ shortage worldwide, thus the main treatment for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is liver resection. However, liver resection induces recurrence and mortality. In our study, we decipher, for the first time, the contribution of the DNA damage response in HCC development and recurrence, the immediate and long term effect. This is an important finding regarding the association between carcinogenesis and DNA damage response. Additionally, we demonstrate yet another link between inflammation, inducing DNA damage and genome instability, and carcinogenesis that has not been explored in the past. These results may assist in developing treatments that will reduce tumor recurrence and additionally, new prophylactic therapies during early inflammatory stages. Keywords: time course, regeneration RNA was isolated from liver samples of 9-month-old Mdr2-/- and control mice obtained on days 0 (the removed lobe), 2 and 6 following PHx. Samples of d0 were obtained from the same mice that were sacrificed on later days. As we were concerned by the variability in the KO group 6 samples were obtained for d0. All other time points and groups contained 3 samples each.

Project description:DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are linked to neurodegeneration and senescence. However, it is not clear how DSB-bearing neurons influence neuroinflammation associated with neurodegeneration. Here, we characterize DSB-bearing neurons from the CK-p25 mouse model of neurodegeneration using single-nucleus, bulk, and spatial transcriptomic techniques. DSB-bearing neurons enter a late-stage DNA damage response marked by NFκB-activated senescent and antiviral immune pathways. In humans, Alzheimer’s disease pathology is significantly associated with immune activation in excitatory neurons. Spatial transcriptomics reveal that regions of CK-p25 brain tissue dense with DSB-bearing neurons harbor signatures of inflammatory microglia, which is ameliorated by NFκB knock-down in neurons. Inhibition of NFκB in DSB-bearing neurons also reduces microglia activation in organotypic mouse brain slice culture. In conclusion, DSBs activate immune pathways in neurons, which in turn adopt a senescence-associated secretory phenotype to elicit microglia activation. These findings highlight a novel role for neurons in the mechanism of disease-associated neuroinflammation.

Project description:Persistent DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in neurons are an early pathological hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), with the potential to disrupt genome integrity. We used single-nucleus RNA-seq in human post-mortem prefrontal cortex samples and found that excitatory neurons in AD were enriched for somatic mosaic gene fusions. Gene fusions were particularly enriched in excitatory neurons with DNA damage repair and senescence gene signatures. In addition, somatic genome structural variations and gene fusions were enriched in neurons burdened with DSBs in the CK-p25 mouse model of neurodegeneration. Neurons enriched for DSBs also had elevated levels of cohesin along with progressive multiscale disruption of the 3D genome organization aligned with transcriptional changes in synaptic, neuronal development, and histone genes. Overall, this study demonstrates the disruption of genome stability and the 3D genome organization by DSBs in neurons as pathological steps in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Project description:Damage to genomic DNA, especially as DNA double strand breaks (DSB), elicits prompt activation of DNA damage response (DDR) which arrest cell-cycle either G1/S or G2/M to avoid entering S and M phase with DNA damage. In mammalian organs cells are in both proliferating and quiescent states. Quiescent cells are already arrested in G0, therefore there may be fundamental difference in DDR between proliferating and quiescent cells. To address these differences we studied recruitment of DSB repair factors and resolution of DNA lesions induced at site-specific DSBs occurring at different cell cycle phases, i.e. in asynchronously proliferating, G0, and G1 arrested cells. Strikingly, DSBs occurring in G0 quiescent cells are irreparable with a sustained activation of p53-pathway. Conversely, reentry of G0-damaged cells into cell cycle progression, show a delayed clearance of recruited DNA repair factors bound at DSBs, indicating an inefficient repair when compared to DSBs induced in asynchronously proliferating or G1 cells. Moreover, we found that initial recognition of DSBs and assembly of DSB factors is largely similar at different cell cycle phases. Our study thereby demonstrates the crucial role of cell cycle phases in repair and resolution of DSBs.

Project description:DNA Double Strands Breaks (DSBs) are highly detrimental since they can lead to mutations and chromosomes rearrangements (amplification, deletion, translocation and chromosome loss). Here, we set to assess the role of senataxin, a RNA:DNA helicase involved in the regulation of transcription and the maintenance of genome integrity, at sites of DNA Double Strand Breaks. We performed ChIP-Seq mapping of senataxin before and after damage, genome-wide DNA:RNA hybrids (DRIP) mapping before and after damage. We also performed RNA-Seq and RNA pol II mapping (total and phosphorylated on serine 2 of the CTD) by ChIP-Seq in undamaged cells to discriminate between damage in active versus inactive regions.

Project description:Maintaining genome integrity presents a particular challenge for plants due to their sedentary lifestyle, which disables direct avoidance of unfavorable external conditions. Additionally, plants’ metabolic processes generate reactive molecules as by-products of e.g. photosynthesis, creating internal DNA-damaging conditions. Due to this, plants have developed a unique and strictly regulated web of DNA damage responses (DDR). We initiated analysis of the DDR system in cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare), a temperate cereal model with a large and repeat rich genome. A series of DNA damaging assays was established to describe barley plants’ phenotypic response to chemically induced DNA double-strand breaks. The efficacy of assays as a tool to be used for assessing potential new DDR barley mutants was demonstrated. DNA damage response network activation in barley was assessed by transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing for wild type and mutant in the DDR signaling kinase ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA MUTATED AND RAD3-RELATED (ATR). Considering the barley genome had only recently been sequenced, and it lacks the in-depth gene analysis, a list of potential DNA damage response genes in barley was compiled based on their homology with Arabidopsis genes.

Project description:Chromatin acts as a key regulator of DNA related processes such as DNA damage repair. While ChIP-chip is a powerful technique to provide high-resolution maps of protein-genome interactions, its use to study DNA Double Strand Break (DSB) repair has been hindered by the limitations of the available damage induction methods. We have developed a human cell line that permits induction of multiple DSBs randomly distributed and unambiguously positioned within the genome. Using this system, we have generated the first genome-wide mapping of gammaH2AX around DSBs. We found that all DSBs trigger large gammaH2AX domains, which extend from the DSB in a bidirectional, discontinuous and not necessarily symmetrical manner. Strikingly we uncovered that, within domains, gammaH2AX distribution is highly influenced by gene transcription since parallel mapping of RNA Polymerase II and strand specific expression revealed that ?H2AX does not propagate on active genes. In addition, we demonstrate that transcription is accurately maintained within gammaH2AX domains, indicating that mechanisms may exist to protect genes transcription from gammaH2AX spreading and from the chromatin rearrangements induced by DSBs.
