Wild-type Heterogeneity Contributes to Clonal Variability in Genome-Edited Cells

ABSTRACT: Phenotypic variability among different knockout clones of the same gene is a common problem confounding the establishment of robust genotype-phenotype correlations. Optimized genome editing protocols to enhance reproducibility include measures to reduce off-target effects. However, even if current state-of-the-art protocols are applied phenotypic variability is frequently observed. Here we identify heterogeneity of wild-type cells as an important and often neglected confounding factor in genome-editing experiments. We demonstrate that isolation of individual wild-type clones from an apparently homogenous stable cell line uncovers significant phenotypic differences between clones. Strikingly, we observe hundreds of differentially regulated transcripts when comparing two populations of wild-type cells. Heterogeneity of wild-type cells thus contributes to variability in genome-edited cells when these are generated through isolation of clones. We show that the generation of monoclonal isogenic wild-type cells prior to genomic manipulation reduces phenotypic variability.

Clonal variation in drug and radiation response among glioma-initiating cells is linked to proneural-mesenchymal transition (Methylation BeadChip)

Project description:Intra-tumor heterogeneity is a hallmark of glioblastoma multiforme, and thought to negatively affect treatment efficacy. Here we establish libraries of glioma-initiating cell (GIC) clones from patient samples and find extensive molecular and phenotypic variability between clones, including a wide range of responses to radiation and drugs. This widespread variability was observed as a continuum of multitherapy resistance phenotypes linked to a proneural-to-mesenchymal shift in the transcriptome.

TALENs-mediated gene disruption of FLT3 in leukemia cells: Using genome-editing approach for exploring the molecular basis of gene abnormality

Project description:Novel analytic tools are needed to elucidate the molecular basis of leukemia-relevant gene mutations in the post-genome era. We generated isogenic leukemia cell clones in which the FLT3 gene was disrupted in a single allele using TALENs. Isogenic clones with mono-allelic disrupted FLT3 were compared to an isogenic wild-type control clone and parental leukemia cells for transcriptional expression, downstream FLT3 signaling and proliferation capacity. The global gene expression profiles of mutant K562 clones and corresponding wild-type controls were compared using RNA-seq. The transcriptional levels and the ligand-dependent autophosphorylation of FLT3 were decreased in the mutant clones. TALENs-mediated FLT3 haplo-insufficiency impaired cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro. These inhibitory effects were maintained in vivo, improving the survival of NOD/SCID mice transplanted with mutant K562 clones. Cluster analysis revealed that the gene expression pattern of isogenic clones was determined by the FLT3 mutant status rather than the deviation among individual isogenic clones. Differentially expressed genes between the mutant and wild-type clones revealed an activation of nonsense-mediated decay pathway in mutant K562 clones as well as an inhibited FLT3 signaling. Our data support that this genome-editing approach is a robust and generally applicable platform to explore the molecular bases of gene mutations.

Quantitative proteomic analyses of budding yeast cells harboring an additional chromosome

Project description:Phenotypic variability is a hallmark of diseases involving chromosome gains and losses, such as Down Syndrome and cancer. Allelic variances have been thought to be the sole cause of this heterogeneity. Here, we systematically examine the consequences of gaining and losing single or multiple chromosomes to show that the aneuploid state causes non-genetic phenotypic variability. Yeast cell populations harboring the same defined aneuploidy exhibit heterogeneity in cell cycle progression and response to environmental perturbations, which we show to be partly due to gene copy number imbalances. Thus, subtle changes in gene expression severely impact the robustness of biological networks and cause alternate behaviors when they occur at a large scale. Because trisomic mice also exhibit variable phenotypes, we further propose that non-genetic individuality is a universal characteristic of the aneuploid state that could contribute to variability in presentation and treatment responses of diseases caused by aneuploidy.

A CRISPR/Cas9 engineered Von Willebrand factor deficient endothelial cell model shows alternative trafficking of Weibel-Palade body proteins

Project description:Synthesis of the hemostatic protein Von Willebrand factor (VWF) drives formation of endothelial storage organelles called Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). In the absence of VWF, angiogenic and inflammatory mediators that are co-stored in WPBs are subject to alternative trafficking routes. In Von Willebrand disease (VWD) patients, the partial or complete absence of VWF/WPBs may lead to additional bleeding complications, such as angiodysplasia. Studies addressing the role of VWF using VWD patient-derived blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) have reported conflicting results due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of patient-derived BOECs. To study the role of WPBs in endothelial cells using CRISPR-mediated knockout of VWF in BOECs. We used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in single donor cord blood-derived BOECs (cbBOECs) to generate clonal VWF-/- cbBOECs. Clones were selected using high-throughput screening, VWF mutations were validated by sequencing and cells were phenotypically characterized. Two VWF-/- BOEC clones were obtained and were entirely devoid of WPBs, while overall cell morphology was unaltered. Several WPB proteins, including CD63, syntaxin-3 and the cargo proteins Ang-2, IL-6 and IL-8 showed alternative trafficking and secretion in absence of VWF. Interestingly, Ang-2 changed localization to the cell periphery and colocalized with Tie-2. CRISPR editing of VWF provides a robust method to create VWF deficient BOECs that can be directly compared to their wild-type counterparts. Results obtained with our model system confirmed alternative trafficking of several WPB proteins in the absence of VWF and support the theory that increased Ang-2/Tie-2 interaction contributes to angiogenic abnormalities in VWD patients.

Identification of predictive markers for human mesenchymal stromal cells chondrogenic potential is challenged by donor variability

Project description:Human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) represent a putative cell source candidate for tissue engineering based strategies to repair cartilage and bone. However, traditional isolation of BMSCs by their preference to adhere to plastic leads to very heterogeneous cell populations and may account for high inter-donor variability and unpredictability of chondrogenic differentiation out-come. Identification of a cell fraction with higher chondrogenic capacity and reduced variance in basic chondrogenic differentiation could further aid the process for developing BMSC-based cartilage and bone regeneration approaches. Since single cell derived clones isolated from fresh bone marrow aspirates show a broad range of chondrogenic capacity, we assessed whether the gene expression profile of clones with high and low chondrogenic capacity differs. While a clustering between high and low chondrogenic capacity clones was observed for one donor, donor-to-donor variability drastically hampered the possibility to achieve conclusive results when different donors were considered. NCAM1/CD56 as identified by the transcriptomic analysis of one donor was still up-regulated in clones with higher chondrogenic capacity and we showed that enriching expanded multiclonal BMSCs for CD56+ expression led to an increase in chondrogenic capacity, though still highly affected by donor-to-donor variability. Our study finally suggests that the definition of predictive marker(s) for BMSCs chondrogenesis is challenged by the high donor’s heterogeneity of these cells. Moreover, we hypothesis that multiple pathways may be involved in determining the chondrogenic potential of BMSCs, making the identification of putative markers still an open issue.

The genetic basis for individual differences in mRNA splicing and APOBEC1 editing activity in murine macrophages

Project description:Alternative splicing and mRNA editing are known to contribute to transcriptome diversity. Although alternative splicing is pervasive and known to contribute to a variety of pathologies, including cancer, the genetic context for individual differences in isoform usage is still evolving. Similarly, although mRNA editing is ubiquitous and associated with important biological processes such as intracellular viral replication and cancer development, individual variations in and the genetic transmissibility of mRNA editing are equivocal. Here, we have used linkage analysis to show that both mRNA editing and alternative splicing are regulated by the macrophage genetic background and environmental cues. We show that distinct loci, potentially harboring variable splice factors, regulate the splicing of multiple transcripts. Additionally, we show that individual genetic variability at the Apobec1 locus results in differential rates of C-to-U(T) editing in murine macrophages; with mouse strains expressing mostly a truncated isoform of Apobec1 exhibiting lower rates of editing. As a proof of concept, we have used linkage analysis to identify 36 high confidence novel edited sites. These results provide a novel and complementary method that can be used to identify C-to-U editing sites in individuals segregating at specific loci and show that, beyond individual DNA sequence and structural changes, differential isoform usage and mRNA editing can contribute to intra-species genomic and phenotypic diversity. Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) from female AxB/BxA mice were left unstimulated or stimulated with IFNG/TNF, or CpG for 18 hrs or infected with infected with type II (Pru A7) for 8 hrs. The transcriptional response was then measured using the illumina RNA-seq protocol on an illumuna HiSeq 2000.
