Divergent proteome tolerance against gain and loss of chromosome arms

ABSTRACT: How aneuploid cells tolerate chromosome arm gains or losses remains an open question. Using an isogenic human lung cell model with either 3p loss or 3q gain, combined with quantitative mass spectrometry and isotopic labeling, we reveal distinct proteostasis mechanisms for gain- and loss-type aneuploidy. Surprisingly, while compensation for 3q gain is primarily driven by increased degradation of excess protein complex subunits, 3p loss is neither counteracted by global protein degradation nor selectively reduced degradation, but rather by relatively upregulated protein synthesis to maintain protein complex stoichiometry. Additionally, proteins encoded on 3p exhibit increased thermal stability in loss-type aneuploidy, potentially via their interactions with other proteins from euploid chromosomes. Together, our findings uncover distinct proteomic buffering strategies that enable cells to tolerate either excessive or deficient single-arm aneuploidy.

Project description:Aneuploidy is prevalent in cancer, conferring fitness advantage, multidrug resistance, and poor prognosis. In contrast, experimentally induced aneuploidy often results in adverse effects and impaired proliferation. This paradox underscores the necessity of cancer cells to adapt to abnormal chromosome numbers. To identify molecular mechanisms of adaptation to aneuploidy, we initiated in vitro evolution of cells with extra chromosomes added via microcell-mediated chromosome transfer. To this end, we cultured cells in a nutrient-rich medium for 50 passages or plated the cells at a low density and selectively collected the largest colonies originating from a single cell (colony selection). One of the striking observations following evolution of cells with extra chromosome 5 in HCT116 cell line was the frequent loss of the 5q, while maintaining the 5p arm after in vitro evolution. Chromosome 5 is a frequent target of large copy number alterations in several malignancies, such as ovarian, gastric, and oesophageal cancer, and malignant myeloid diseases. Moreover, analysis of chromosome arm level events in the TCGA dataset clearly shows that loss of chromosome arm 5q and gain of 5p are among the most frequent events. We asked whether these specific changes in copy numbers of chromosome 5 – loss of 5q with simultaneous retention of 5p – could affect the proliferation of the evolved cells. To this end, we used the recently developed technique ReDACT-TR (Restoring Disomy in Aneuploid cells using CRISPR Targeting with Telomere Replacement (Girish et al., 2023)), and transfected cells of a separate clone of Htr5 (before evolution) with a gRNA that cuts near the centromere of chromosome 5, simultaneously with a cassette encoding ~100 repeats of the human telomere seed sequence. Targeting the q-arm generated two independent cell lines with 5p trisomy (Htr5p_1 and Htr5p_2), which were confirmed by FISH with probes specific for 5p and 5q arms and by shallow WGS. No cell lines with trisomy of the q-arm were generated, but we have obtained two diploid cell lines (Hdi5_1 and Hdi5_2), most likely due to the CRISPR/Cas9 induced loss of chromosome 5 (Papathanasiou, Markoulaki et al., 2021, Tsuchida, Brandes et al., 2023). The anaylsis of global proteomes of the ReDACT cell lines was then carried out using a TMT quantification strategy.
