A pivotal contribution of proteostasis failure and mitochondria dysfunction to Chromosomal Instability-induced microcephaly

ABSTRACT: Mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA), a rare human congenital disorder that causes microcephaly, is characterized by extensive abnormalities in chromosome number and caused by mutations in genes involved in accurate mitotic chromosome segregation. Here we generated a Drosophila model of microcephaly caused by depletion of a single spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) gene in the neural stem cell (NSC) compartment to characterize the cellular mechanisms underlying this disease. We present evidence that loss of stemness of NSCs – compromised identity and proliferative capacity - is the underlying cause of the disease and results in a reduced number of neurons and glial cells. We show that loss of stemness is a consequence of the accumulation overtime of an unbalanced number of gains and losses of more than one chromosome, rather than a direct consequence of chromosomal instability-induced DNA damage or the production of simple aneuploidies. We unravel a contribution of proteostasis failure, most probably as a consequence of the imbalance in the whole protoeome, and mitochondria dysfunction to the negative impact of complex aneuploidies on stem cell identity. We identify autophagy activation -either directly or through TOR depletion –, overexpression of Radical Oxygen Species scavengers, or restoration of mitochondria proteostasis as genetic interventions capable of dampening the deleterious effects of aneuploidy on NSC identify and brain development

Expression profiling analysis of mouse E10.5 Magoh mutant brain cortices

Project description:Human brain structure and size requires regulated division of neural stem cells (NSCs). NSCs undergo precise divisions to self-renew and to produce intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) and neurons. The factors that regulate NSC divisions remain poorly understood, as do mechanistic explanations of how aberrant NSC division causes reduced brain size, as seen in microcephaly. Here we demonstrate that Magoh, a component of the core exon junction complex (EJC) that binds spliced RNA, controls cerebral cortical size by regulating NSC division. Magoh haploinsufficiency causes microcephaly due to INP depletion, neuronal apoptosis, and improper mitotic spindle orientation. Defective mitosis underlies these phenotypes as depletion of EJC components disrupts mitotic spindle integrity, chromosome number and genomic stability. We show that an essential function of Magoh is to regulate expression of the human microcephaly protein, LIS1, and that Lis1 addition rescues neurogenesis defects caused by Magoh knockdown, thus providing a genetic explanation for the microcephaly. This study uncovers new requirements for the EJC in brain development, NSC maintenance, mitosis and chromosome stability, thus implicating this complex in the pathogenesis of microcephaly. Mouse embryonic cortices were used for expression analysis 5 biological replicates each of control (C57BL/6) and Magoh mutant brains were analyzed

The Impact of Monosomies, Trisomies and Segmental aneuploidies on Chromosomal stability

Project description:Aneuploidy and chromosomal instability are both commonly found in cancer. Chromosomal instability leads to karyotype heterogeneity in tumors and is associated with therapy resistance, metastasis and poor prognosis. It has been hypothesized that aneuploidy per se is sufficient to drive CIN, however due to limited models and heterogenous results, it has remained controversial which aspects of aneuploidy can drive CIN. In this study we systematically tested the impact of different types of aneuploidies on the induction of CIN. We generated a plethora of isogenic aneuploid clones harboring whole chromosome or segmental aneuploidies in human p53-deficient RPE-1 cells. We observed increased segregation errors in cells harboring trisomies that strongly correlated to the number of gained genes. Strikingly, we found that clones harboring only monosomies do not induce a CIN phenotype. Finally, we found that an initial chromosome breakage event and subsequent fusion can instigate breakage-fusion-bridge cycles. By investigating the impact of monosomies, trisomies and segmental aneuploidies on chromosomal instability we further deciphered the complex relationship between aneuploidy and CIN.

Oncogene-like addiction to aneuploidy in human cancers

Project description:Most cancers exhibit aneuploidy, but its functional significance in tumor development is controversial. Here, we describe ReDACT (Restoring Disomy in Aneuploid cells using CRISPR Targeting), a set of chromosome engineering tools that allow us to eliminate specific aneuploidies from cancer genomes. Using ReDACT, we created a panel of isogenic cells that have or lack common aneuploidies, and we demonstrated that trisomy of chromosome 1q is required for malignant growth in cancers harboring this alteration. Mechanistically, gaining chromosome 1q increases the expression of MDM4 and suppresses TP53 signaling, and we show that TP53 mutations are mutually-exclusive with 1q aneuploidy in human cancers. Thus, specific aneuploidies play essential roles in tumorigenesis, raising the possibility that targeting these “aneuploidy addictions” could represent a novel approach for cancer treatment.

Genome-wide transcriptional response to random aneuploidy in human cells

Project description:Previous studies on transcriptional response to aneuploidy have focused on comparing model cell lines harbouring defined aneuploidy (specific chromosomes) with their parental diploid cell lines. However, the majority of tumours are composed of cancer cells with complex karyotypes (diverse chromosome assortment). Despite this fact, proven functions of random aneuploidies in promoting tumourigenesis are lacking. This prompted us to investigate the transcriptional response to heterogenous cell populations with discernible random aneuploidies.

Trichostatin A preferentially reverses the upregulation of gene expression levels induced by gain of chromosome 7 in colorectal cancer cell lines

Project description:Epithelial cancers are defined by a tumor-specific distribution of chromosomal aneuploidies that are maintained when cells metastasize and are conserved in cell lines derived from primary tumors. Correlations between genomic copy number and gene expression have been observed for different tumors including, colorectal (CRC), breast and pancreatic cancer. These ploidy-driven transcriptional deregulations are characterized by low-level expression changes of most genes on the affected chromosomes. The emergence of these aberrations at an early stage of tumorigenesis and the strong selection for the maintenance of these aneuploidies suggests that aneuploidy-dependent transcriptional deregulations might contribute to cellular transformation and maintenance of the malignant phenotype. The histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) Trichostatin A (TSA) has anticancer effects and is well known to lead to large scale gene expression changes. Here we assessed if TSA could disrupt the aneuploidy-driven gene expression in the aneuploid colon cancer cell line SW480 and the artificially generated aneuploid cell line DLD-1+7. We found that TSA increases transcriptional activity throughout the genome, yet inhibits aneuploidy-induced gene expression changes on chromosome 7. Among the TSA affected genes on chromosome 7 we identified potential CRC oncogenes. These experiments represent the first attempt to explain how histone acetylation affects aneuploidy-driven gene expression changes.

Loss of the SUMO Protease Ulp2 Triggers a Specific Multi-Chromosome Aneuploidy

Project description:Post-translational protein modification by the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) protein regulates numerous cellular pathways, including transcription, cell division and genome maintenance. The SUMO protease Ulp2 modulates many of these SUMO-dependent processes in budding yeast. To investigate changes to the transcriptome of cells lacking Ulp2, whole-genome RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was employed. Unexpectedly, ulp2Δ cells display a general two-fold increase in transcript levels across two particular chromosomes, Chromosome I (ChrI) and Chromosome XII (ChrXII). Quantification of relative DNA levels showed that ChrI and ChrXII are present at twice their normal copy number in ulp2Δ cells. This double disomy occurs in mutants in multiple genetic backgrounds and does not require passage through meiosis. An abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, termed aneuploidy, is usually deleterious. However, development of specific aneuploidies allows rapid adaptation to cellular stresses in yeast and other species, and aneuploidy characterizes most tumors. Extra copies of ChrI and ChrXII appear quickly following loss of active Ulp2, suggesting aneuploidy is an adaptive mechanism in cells lacking the functional SUMO protease. The specific aneuploidy in ulp2Δ cells highlights a unique example of a homogeneous, multi-chromosome aneuploidy in response to mutation of a single gene.
