Multi-Dimensional Epigenetic Analysis Reveals Transcription as a Primary Driver of Radiation Induced Double Strand Break Recognition

ABSTRACT: DNA Double Strand Breaks (DSBs) are a deleterious product of genotoxic agents or radiotherapy. Despite the inherent chromatin localization of DSBs, the literature has largely ignored the effect of local chromatin or histone post translational modifications (PTMs) on DSB induction or recognition especially in a therapy-relevant setting. Analysis of epigenetic linkages to the DNA Damage Response are challenging owing to the random nature of exogenous DSB induction. Here, we directly measure stochastic DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation (IR) and infer relationships between basal epigenetic states and cellular ability to detect DSBs. Contrary to the expected uniform localization of DSBs and γH2AX, we show that DSB recognition is separate from DSB induction and that both processes are dependent on the local chromatin milieu. In general, actively transcribed regions contain more γH2AX than heterochromatic regions suggesting a link between transcription and the DDR. In contrast to previous studies, we suggest that transcription proximal to DNA damage is necessary for early DSB detection and suggest a requirement for transcription mediated repair in genome maintenance. Finally, we reveal a dual effect of the repressive mark H3K27me3 on the DNA damage response. While basal H3K27me3 attenuates γH2AX deposition, transcribed regions recruit H3K27me3 following DSB induction possibly as an obligate step in DSB recognition. We uncover epigenetic determinants of DSB recognition and suggest new mechanisms by which the epigenome direct DNA repair. Our findings suggest new targets for radio-adjuvant therapy and reframe the current stochastic model of radiotherapy induced damage.

DNA Double-Strand Breaks Induce H2Ax Phosphorylation Domains in a Contact-Dependent Manner

Project description:Efficient repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) requires a coordinated DNA Damage Response (DDR), which includes phosphorylation of histone H2Ax, forming γH2Ax. This histone modification spreads beyond the DSB into neighboring chromatin, generating a DDR platform that protects against end disassociation and degradation, minimizing chromosomal rearrangements. However, mechanisms that determine the breadth and intensity of γH2Ax domains remain unclear. Here, we show that chromosomal contacts of a DSB site are the primary determinants for γH2Ax landscapes. DSBs that disrupt a topological border permit extension of γH2Ax domains into both adjacent compartments. In contrast, DSBs near a border produce highly asymmetric DDR platforms, with γH2Ax nearly absent from one broken end. Collectively, our findings lend insights into a basic DNA repair mechanism and how the precise location of a DSB may influence genome integrity.

Ma2005-digital response of p53 to DNA damage-ATM Activation Module

Project description:Recent observations show that the single-cell response of p53 to ionizing radiation (IR) is “digital” in that it is the number of oscillations rather than the amplitude of p53 that shows dependence on the radiation dose. We present a model of this phenomenon. In our model, double-strand break (DSB) sites induced by IR interact with a limiting pool of DNA repair proteins, forming DSB–protein complexes at DNA damage foci. The persisting complexes are sensed by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a protein kinase that activates p53 once it is phosphorylated by DNA damage. The ATM-sensing module switches on or off the downstream p53 oscillator, consisting of a feedback loop formed by p53 and its negative regulator, Mdm2. In agreement with experiments, our simulations show that by assuming stochasticity in the initial number of DSBs and the DNA repair process, p53 and Mdm2 exhibit a coordinated oscillatory dynamics upon IR stimulation in single cells, with a stochastic number of oscillations whose mean increases with IR dose. The damped oscillations previously observed in cell populations can be explained as the aggregate behavior of single cell

Activity-Induced DNA Breaks Govern the Expression of Neuronal Early-Response Genes

Project description:Neuronal activity causes the rapid expression of immediate early genes that are crucial for experience driven changes to synapses, learning, and memory. Here, using both molecular and genome-wide next generation sequencing methods, we report that neuronal activity stimulation triggers the formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in the promoters of a subset of early-response genes, including Fos, Npas4, and Egr1. Generation of targeted DNA DSBs within Fos and Npas4 promoters is sufficient to induce their expression even in the absence of an external stimulus. Activity-dependent DSB formation is likely mediated by the type II topoisomerase, Topoisomerase IIb (Topo IIb), and knockdown of Topo IIb attenuates both DSB formation and early response gene expression following neuronal stimulation. Our results suggest that DSB formation is a physiological event that rapidly resolves topological constraints to early-response gene expression in neurons. Generation of sequencing data from ChIP-seq with antibodies against γH2AX and Topo IIβ after neuronal activity stimulation, and RNA-seq after etoposide treatment

Cell cycle-dependent resolution of DNA double-strand breaks repair

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.

ChIP-chip profiling of human gammaH2AX spreading around DNA double strand breaks

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.

Tyrosine kinase c-Abl couples RNA polymerase II transcription to an RNA-dependent DNA damage response

Project description:Various modes of DNA repair counteract genotoxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to maintain genome stability. Recent findings suggest that the human DNA damage response (DDR) utilises damage-induced small RNA for efficient repair of DSBs. However, production and processing of RNA is poorly understood. Here we show that localised induction of DSBs triggers phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) on carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) residue tyrosine-1 in an Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex-dependent manner. CTD Tyr1-phosphorylated RNAPII synthetises, strand-specific, damage-responsive transcripts (DARTs). DART synthesis occurs via formation of transient RNA-DNA hybrid (R-loop) intermediates. Impaired R-loop formation attenuates DART synthesis, impairs recruitment of repair factors and delays the DDR. Collectively, we provide mechanistic insight in RNA-dependent DSB repair.

Cohesin profiling at DSBs

Project description:Chromatin undergoes major remodeling around DNA double strand breaks (DSB) to promote repair and DNA damage response (DDR) activation. We recently reported a high resolution map of gammaH2AX around multiple breaks on the human genome, using a new cell-based DSB inducible system. In an attempt to further characterize the chromatin landscape induced around DSBs, we now report the profile of SMC3, a subunit from the cohesin complex, previously characterized as required for repair by homologous recombination. We found that the recruitment of cohesin is moderate and restricted to the immediate vicinity of DSBs. In addition, we show that the cohesin complex, which was also recently proposed to be a key player in chromosome organisation and chromatin looping, controls gammaH2AX distribution within domains. Indeed, as we reported for transcription, cohesin binding antagonizes gammaH2AX spreading. Remarkably, depletion of cohesin leads to an increase of gammaH2AX at cohesin-bound genes (revelead by gammaH2AX mapping in upon SCC1 siRNA), associated with a decrease in their expression level after DSB induction. Thus our study identifies a novel role for the cohesin complex in protecting the genes located in gammaH2AX domains from both gammaH2AX spreading and transcriptional shut-down after DSB induction.

DNA double-strand breaks and 3D chromatin conformation (Hi-C, 4C-seq, ChIP-seq)

Project description:DNA Double-Strand 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 tridimensional genome organization around DSBs and its role in DSB repair foci formation. We performed Hi-C experiments before and after DSB induction and upon ctrl or SCC1 depletion, 4C-seq experiments before and after DSB induction and upon cohesin (SCC1) depletion or ATM inhibition. We also performed ChIP-seq of pATM(S1981), CTCF, P-SMC3(S1083), MDC1 and a calibrated ChIP-seq of SCC1 with or without damage. ChIP-chip of SMC3 (S1083) and SMC1 (S966) were used to show the recruitment of these marks on DNA repair foci. ChIP-chip of gammaH2AX was realized upon SCC1 depletion and ChIP-seq of gammaH2AX was realized upon SCC1 or WAPL to show the role of the cohesin complex in gammaH2AX foci formation. ChIP-seq of gammaH2AX was realized upon ATM or ATR inhibition to show that ATM is the major kinase that phosphorylates H2AX at clean breaks in human cells.

Substrate spectrum of PPM1D in the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks

Project description:PPM1D (also known as WIP1) is a p53-regulated protein phosphatase that modulates the DNA damage response (DDR) by dephosphorylation of DDR proteins. Amplification of PPM1D gene or gain-of-function mutations are commonly found in cancer. Here, we employed chemical inhibition of PPM1D and quantitative mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics to identify the substrates of PPM1D upon induction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) by topoisomerase II poison etoposide. We identified 73 putative PPM1D substrates that are involved in DNA repair, regulation of transcription and RNA processing. One third of DSB-induced S/TQ phosphorylation sites are dephosphorylated by PPM1D, demonstrating that PPM1D only partially counteracts ATM/ATR/DNA-PK signaling. PPM1D-targeted phosphorylation sites are found in a specific amino acid sequence motif that is characterized by glutamic acid residues, high intrinsic disorder and poor evolutionary conservation. We identified a functionally uncharacterized protein Kanadaptin as ATM and PPM1D substrate upon DSB induction. We propose that PPM1D plays a role during the response to DSBs formation by regulating the phosphorylation of DNA- and RNA-binding proteins in intrinsically disordered regions.

A damaged genome's transcriptional landscape through multilayered expression profiling around in situ-mapped DNA double-strand breaks

Project description:Background: Of the many types of DNA damage, DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are probably the most deleterious. Mounting evidence points to an intricate relationship between DSBs and transcription. A cell system in which the impact on transcription can be investigated at precisely mapped genomic DSBs is essential to study this relationship. Methods: Here in a human cell line, we map genome-wide and at high-resolution the DSBs induced by a restriction enzyme and we characterize their impact on gene expression by four independent approaches by monitoring steady-state RNA levels, rates of RNA synthesis, transcription initiation and RNA polymerase II elongation. Results: We consistently observe transcriptional repression in proximity to DSBs. Downregulation of transcription depends on ATM kinase activity and it is sensitive to the distance from the DSB. Conclusions: Our study couples for the first time high-resolution mapping of DSBs with multilayered transcriptomics to dissect the events shaping gene expression after DSB induction at multiple endogenous sites.
