DNA Replication Dynamics within the Centromeres of Chromosome Y and Chromosome 21 in Human Neural Progenitor Cells Overexpressing Tau Proteins

ABSTRACT: Aging somatic cells are characterized by specific chromosome aneuploidy. This work examines the role of DNA replication within the centromeres of chromosomes Y (ChrY) and 21 (Chr21). The aneuploidy of these two chromosomes is associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathology. Using human neural progenitor cells engineered to overexpress wild-type (wt) and pseudo-hyper-phosphorylated (php) Tau proteins, we developed a novel method to analyze replication dynamics in centromeric regions. Our findings reveal overexpression reduces the replication initiation events that are active within alpha satellite sequences in control condition. Mass spectrometry analysis on immunoprecipitated Tau identified nuclear interactors of Tau, particularly in its php form, which might directly influence chromatin architecture and gene expression. This research provides critical insights into the molecular mechanisms of aneuploidy in tauopathies.

KaryoCreate: a CRISPR-based technology to study chromosome-specific aneuploidy by targeting human centromeres

Project description:Aneuploidy, the presence of chromosome gains or losses, is a hallmark of cancer and congenital syndromes. Here, we describe KaryoCreate (Karyotype CRISPR Engineered Aneuploidy Technology), a system that enables generation of chromosome-specific aneuploidies by co-expression of a sgRNA targeting chromosome-specific CENPA-binding ɑ-satellite repeats together with dCas9 fused to a mutant form of KNL1. We designed unique and highly specific sgRNAs for 19 out of 24 chromosomes. Expression of these sgRNAs with KNL1Mut-dCas9 leads to missegregation and induction of gains or losses of the targeted chromosome in cellular progeny with an average efficiency of 8% and 12% for gains and losses, respectively (up to 20%), tested and validated across 9 chromosomes. Using KaryoCreate in colon epithelial cells, we show that chromosome 18q loss, a frequent occurrence in gastrointestinal cancers, promotes resistance to TGFβ, likely due to synergistic hemizygous deletion of multiple genes. Altogether, we describe a novel technology to create and study chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy in the context of cancer and beyond.

RNA-Seq of human primary microglial cells treated with vehicle or human paired helical filaments (PHFs) purified from human tauopathy autopsy brain

Project description:Neuroinflammation is one of the major neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. Activated microglia often co-exist in the same brain regions where tau protein accumulates as hyperphosphorylated and aggregated PHFs or neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) within neurons in patients with AD and related tauopathies. However, the exact mechanisms how pathological tau could induce neuroinflammatory responses are not clear. In this study, we treated primary human microglia with purified human PHFs and performed RNA-sequence analysis.

Y-chromosome clonal random expression produces mosaics in male mice

Project description:Monoallelic expression of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) genes produces female mosaicism, but it is unknown whether chromosome Y (chrY) mosaicism exists in males. ChrY contains some ubiquitously expressed and evolutionary conserved dosage-sensitive regulator genes, including neighbouring Kdm5d, Ddx3y, Uty, and (in mice) Eif2s3y, that have on chrX counterparts that escape XCI. Here, we have produced a transgenic mice line containing an EGFP gene between Uty and Ddx3y genes. These males have mosaic (tortoiseshell) green fluorescence in the skin, similar to females carrying one copy (hemizygous) of an X-linked EGFP transgene owing to inactivation of one chrX, and show clonal inheritance of the inactive state through cell division. The skin tortoiseshell expression of the Y-GFP indicates that the choice of which chrY remains active is stably maintained and clonally inherited. We have produced 3 Sertoli lines from Y-GFP transgenic male, and we have separated by flow cytometry size homogeneous GFP-positive and GFP-negative cells. To analyse the transcriptomic profile and evaluate whether genes from chrY follow the same EGFP expression pattern and explore the regulatory mechanism of the chrY we performed RNA-seq. The results indicate that GFP-positive and GFP-negative cells have considerable differences in their expression levels at chrY, chrX and autosomal chromosomes. Concretely, 18 chrY genes show under expression in GFP-negative cells, including Ddx3y, Zfy1, Zfy2, Usp9y, Uba1y and 10 genes from the Rbmy family. Moreover, the differences in expression observed brings out the influence of chromosome Y expression on the expression of the rest of the autosomal genes.

GENETIC VARIATION IN CHROMOSOME Y REGULATES SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFLUENZA A VIRUS INFECTION

Project description:Males of many species, ranging from humans to insects, are more susceptible than females to parasitic, fungal, bacterial, and viral infections. One mechanism which has been proposed to account for this difference is the ‘immunocompetence handicap model’ which posits that the higher infectious disease burden in males is due to testosterone (T), which drives the development of secondary male sex characteristics at the expense of suppressing immunity. However, emerging data suggest that cell-intrinsic (chromosome X and Y) sex-specific factors may also contribute to the sex differences in infectious disease burden. Using a murine model of influenza A virus (IAV) infection and a panel of chromosome Y (ChrY) consomic strains on the C57BL/6J background, we present data showing that genetic variation in ChrY influences IAV pathogenesis in males. Specific ChrY variants increase susceptibility to IAV in males and augment pathogenic immune responses in the lung, including activation of pro-inflammatory IL-17-producing γδ T cells, without affecting viral replication. Additionally, susceptibility to IAV segregates independently of copy number variation (CNV) in multicopy ChrY gene families that influence susceptibility to other immunopathologic phenotypes, including survival following infection with Coxsackievirus B3. These results demonstrate a critical role for genetic variation in ChrY in regulating susceptibility to infectious disease.

Centromeres license the mitotic condensation of yeast chromosome arms

Project description:During mitosis, chromatin condensation shapes chromosomes as separate, rigid and compacted sister-chromatids to facilitate their segregation. Here, we show that unlike wild type yeast chromosomes, non-chromosomal DNA circles and chromosomes lacking a centromere fail to condense during mitosis. Genetics and ChIP-seq experiments establish that the centromere functions in chromosome condensation upstream of the kinases Aurora B and Bub1. Downstream of Aurora B and Bub1, Shugoshin and the deacetylase Hst2 facilitated spreading of the condensation signal from the pericentromeric region to the chromosome arms. Targeting Aurora B to DNA circles or centromere-ablated chromosomes, or releasing Shugoshin from PP2A-dependent inhibition bypassed the centromere requirement for condensation and enhanced the mitotic stability of DNA circles. Our data indicate that yeast cells license in a centromere-dependent manner the chromosome-autonomous condensation of their chromatin, excluding non-centromeric DNA from this process and thereby inhibiting their propagation.

Elevated Levels of Aneuploidy and Chromosome Rearrangements are Separable Genome Instability Events

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Elevated Levels of Aneuploidy and Chromosome Rearrangements are Separable Genome Instability Events Controlled by the Tel1 and Mec1 Kinases Cancer cells often have elevated frequencies of chromosomal aberrations, and it is likely that loss of genome stability is one driving force behind tumorigenesis. Deficiencies in DNA replication, DNA repair, or cell cycle checkpoints can all contribute to increased rates of chromosomal duplications, deletions and translocations. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins Tel1 and Mec1 (homologues of the human ATM and ATR proteins, respectively) are known to participate in the DNA damage response, replication checkpoint, and telomere maintenance pathways and are critical to maintain genome stability. In the absence of induced DNA damage, tel1 mec1 diploid yeast strains exhibit extremely high rates of chromosome aneuploidy. There is a significant bias towards trisomy of chromosomes II, VIII, X, and XII, whereas the smallest chromosomes I and VI are commonly monosomic. tel1 mec1 strains also demonstrate elevated levels of chromosome rearrangements, including translocations as well as interstitial duplications and deletions. Restoring wild-type telomere length with the Cdc13-Est2 fusion protein substantially reduces the amount of chromosome rearrangements in tel1 mec1 strains. This result suggests that most of the rearrangements are initiated by telomere-telomere fusions. However, the telomere defects associated with tel1 mec1 strains do not cause the high rate of aneuploidy, as restoring proper telomere function does not prevent cells from becoming aneuploid. Our data demonstrate that the same mutant genotype can produce both high levels of chromosome rearrangements and high levels of aneuploidy, and these two types of events occur through separate mechanisms.

Increased G3BP2-Tau interaction in Tauopathies is a natural defense against Tau aggregation

Project description:Many RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), particularly those associated with RNA granules, promote pathological protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we demonstrate that G3BP2, a core component of stress granules, directly interacts with Tau and inhibits Tau aggregation. In the human brain, the interaction of G3BP2 and Tau is dramatically increased in multiple Tauopathies and precedes neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) formation in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Surprisingly, Tau pathology is significantly elevated upon loss of G3BP2 in human neurons and brain organoids. Moreover, we find that G3BP2 masks the microtubule-binding region (MTBR) of Tau, thereby inhibiting Tau aggregation. Our study defines a novel role for RBPs as a line of defense against Tau aggregation in Tauopathies.

Comparative genomic hybridization of yeast strains with different chromosome copy numbers

Project description:Aneuploidy, the condition of having an abnormal number of chromosomes, is a hallmark of cancer cells. Recent work performed in yeast and mouse models suggests that aneuploidy interferes with cell proliferation and organism development. However, other recent experiments suggested that aneuploidy might play a positive role in tumor initiation and/or progression and in the emergence of chemotherapy as well as antibiotic resistances. Given its general deleterious effects on cellular fitness, how could aneuploidy be beneficial? In this set of experiments we plan to provide evidence that aneuploidy induces phenotypic variation through direct and indirect changes not only at the transcriptome but also at the proteome level.
