Characterizing Age-Related Extrachromosomal Circular DNA in Mouse Liver: Potential Biomarker for Liver Aging [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Background: Extrachromosomal circular deoxyribonucleic acid (eccDNA) is progressively being recognized as a useful biomarker, however, its presence in the liver remains relatively understudied. Methods: Through the application of Circle-Seq, this research reports on the identification and subsequent analysis of eccDNAs in both young and aging livers of the house mouse species. As a complement, RNA-Seq tests were conducted, and results subjected to a combined analysis with the initial Circle-Seq findings. Results: In total, Hundreds of thousands of unique eccDNAs were identified and methodically characterized. The eccDNAs detected were predominantly GC-rich. The majority of eccDNAs were under the size of 10000 base pairs, accumulating predominantly in two distinct peaks. The genomic distribution analysis of the eccDNAs revealed their presence across all chromosomes, concentrating on the 5’UTR and CpG islands. Analysis of the junction sequences infer that microhomology and palindromic repeats may contribute to eccDNA formation. The frequency of eccDNAs in aged mice exceeded that of their youthful counterparts. In addition, there was a noticeable positive correlation between the substantial production of eccDNA and the transcription of its corresponding mRNA, all of which were reported as senescence-related genes. Conclusions: This research offers the inaugural comprehensive characterisation of aging-related eccDNAs in the liver. It underscores the potential of eccDNA as a valuable biomarker for liver aging.

The Urinary eccDNA Landscape in Prostate Cancer Reveals Associations with Genome Instability and Vital Roles in Cancer Progression [Circle-Seq]

Project description:Introduction: Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) plays significant roles in cancer progression and prognosis. However, it remains unclear whether cell-free eccDNA, considered more stable than linear DNA, possesses cancer-specific genomic features. Furthermore, the biogenesis and function of eccDNAs are not yet fully understood. Objectives: This study aims to characterize the genomic landscape of urinary cell-free eccDNAs in prostate cancer (PCa) and non-cancer (NC) individuals, elucidate their biogenesis and PCa-specific genomic features, and investigate their roles in PCa progression. Methods: We conducted urine Circle-seq for 21 PCa patients and 16 NC individuals, performed integrated analysis with other omics datasets, and finally validated the function of eccDNA by in vitro transfection and RNA-seq. Results: We pioneered the profiling of urinary cell-free eccDNAs landscape in PCa and uncovered a high association between eccDNA generation and active chromatin status as well as gene transcription. Double strand breaks and R-loops, which preferentially occur in active genomic sites and cause genome instability, can promote eccDNA generation. Genome instability frequently results in genomic mutations, and our study further established a link between eccDNA generation and oncogenic mutations. Additionally, genes specifically exhibiting high eccDNA generation frequency (HFGs) in PCa contributed to PCa progression and were associated with poorer survival outcomes in PCa patients. Finally, we demonstrated that eccDNAs derived from PCa-specific HFGs, in contrast to intergenic eccDNAs, could suppress PCa cell proliferation and migration, which was independent of their host gene expression. Conclusion: Our study illustrated the biogenesis of eccDNAs from DSBs in active genes, revealed PCa-specific eccDNA features and suggested new mechanisms underlying eccDNA function.

Whole-genome sequencing of Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) of cerebrospinal fluid of Medulloblastoma

Project description:Background: Medulloblastoma (MB) is one of the malignant tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) with a poor prognosis and lack of effective detection. Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) has been reported to be closely related to CNS tumors. However, there is still a gap in eccDNA of MB.Methods: Genomic features of eccDNAs were identified in MB tissues and matched cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using a circle-map, compared with normal. The nucleotides on both sides of the eccDNAs breakpoint were analyzed to investigate the mechanisms of eccDNAs formation. Bioinformatics analysis combined with the GEO database identified reliable features of eccDNA-related genes in MB. Lasso Cox regression model, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, time-dependent ROC, and Kaplan–Meier curve were used to assess the potential diagnostic and prognostic value of the Hub genes.Results: 35179 eccDNAs were identified, with the majority less than 1000 base pairs (bp). The distribution of eccDNAs on the genome was closely related to gene density. EccDNAs in CSF exhibited phase parallelism with matched MB tissues and were shown differently in tumors and normal. Ten core genes were identified in combination with GEO and showed reliable diagnostic and prognostic value in independent datasets through univariate and multivariate Cox regression. Nomogram included Hub-gene signatures was established and showed clinical benefit.Conclusions: This study described the characteristics and formation mechanism of eccDNAs in MB and CSF. The role of eccDNA in MB was revealed, and eccDNA-associated hub genes in CSF could be used as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for MB.

Extrachromosomal circular SUZ12 amplicon dictates retinoblastoma progression through reprogramming H3K27 methylation [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is double-stranded circular DNA that is derived from but independent of chromosomal DNA. Owing to its nonchromosomal inheritance, eccDNA facilitates the amplification of oncogenes and expedites the process of genome evolution in tumor. However, the role of eccDNA in RB remains enigmatic. Herein, we identified a set of SUZ12-containing eccDNAs in RB. Through multiomics analyses, we demonstrated that SUZ12 contributes to elevated levels of H3K27me3 modification and subsequently inhibits the transcription of KLF4 during the oncogenic progression of retinoblastoma. Conclusively, our study unveiled a novel SUZ12-containing eccDNA/H3K27me3 oncogenic mechanism where eccDNA dictates retinoblastoma progression through regulating transcription levels of linear DNA.

Characterization of extrachromosomal circular DNA for human dilated cardiomyopathy

Project description:Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are prevalent in different tumors, and have been shown to be important oncogenic drivers. While recent studies have found many eccDNAs in non-tumor cells, to date, the nature and characteristics of eccDNAs in human heart failure are rarely known. In this study, we provided a comprehensive analysis of eccDNAs in human heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Using the Circle-Seq method, we identified the expression profile of eccDNAs in heart samples from DCM patients and healthy controls. Most eccDNAs were less than 1kb and enriched in two peaks. Analysis of the genomic distribution of eccDNAs revealed that eccDNAs were derived from all chromosomes and half of these eccDNAs carried at least one gene or gene fragment. Most eccDNAs originated from 5’UTR, 3’UTR, CpG island, long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs). In addition, eccDNAs were more enriched on gene-rich chromosomes 17 and 19. In conclusion, our work delineated the eccDNAs profiling of human healthy heart and DCM and explored potential functions of eccDNAs in the development of DCM.

ATAC-seq identifies thousands of extrachromosomal circular DNA in cancers and cell lines

Project description:Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are usually somatically mosaic and a source of intercellular heterogeneity in normal and tumor cells. Because short eccDNAs are poorly chromatinized, we hypothesized that they are sequenced by tagmentation in ATAC-seq experiments, without any enrichment of circular DNA, and thus identified thousands of eccDNAs. The eccDNAs identified in cell lines were validated by inverse PCR on DNA that survives exonuclease digestion of linear DNA, and by metaphase FISH. ATAC-seq in Gliomas and Glioblastomas identify hundreds of eccDNAs, including one containing the well-known EGFR gene amplicon from chr7. Over 18,000 eccDNAs, many carrying known cancer driver genes, are identified in a pan-cancer analysis of 360 ATAC-seq libraries from 23 tumor types. Because of somatic mosaicism, eccDNAs are identified by ATAC-seq even before amplification of the locus is recognized by genome-wide copy number variation measurements. Thus, standard ATAC-seq is a sensitive method to detect eccDNA present in a subset of tumor cells, ready to be amplified under appropriate selection, as during therapy.
