Whole genome expression data from formalin-fixed parrafin embedded (FFPE) primary and metastatic melanomas

ABSTRACT: The dominant genetic signature found in melanoma is C to T mutations due to UV radiation. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) recognises and repairs UV-induced DNA damage. We aimed to determine the effect of high UV exposure on the melanoma transcriptome and key NER transcripts in melanoma tumours in association with clinical and genetic features of the disease. 196 primary or metastatic melanomas were utilised for this study. Solar elastosis and transcriptome data was collected. mRNA transcript levels of NER components XPC, DDB1 and DDB2 were quantified and compared to clinical parameters. Solar elastosis negatively correlated with Breslow thickness (-0.251, p=0.017) and was significantly lower in BRAFV600E melanomas. Lower XPC expression was associated with BRAFV600E and NRASQ61R mutations, earlier age of diagnosis and poorer survival. Transcriptome profiling identified an over-representation of DNA repair processes in high vs low solar elastosis. Further analysis revealed DNA repair and kinase activity related transcripts in the low XPC melanomas. XPC deficiency is associated with the presence of kinase mutations and an aggressive disease phenotype, both of which result from the hypermutability of melanoma.

ASH1L methyltransferase deposits H3K4me3 and FACT for damage verification in nucleotide excision repair [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:To recognize DNA damage, nucleotide excision repair (NER) deploys a multipart mechanism by which the XPC sensor detects helical distortions followed by engagement of TFIIH for lesion verification. Accessory players ensure that this factor handover takes place on chromatin where DNA is wrapped around histones. We show that the histone methyltransferase ASH1L, once activated by MRG15, accelerates global-genome NER activity. Upon UV irradiation, ASH1L deposits H3K4me3 marks all over the genome (except in gene promoters), thus priming chromatin for relocations of XPC from native to damaged DNA. ASH1L further recruits the histone chaperone FACT to UV lesions. In the absence of ASH1L, MRG15 or FACT, XPC persists on damaged DNA without being able to deliver lesions to the TFIIH verifier. We conclude that ASH1L implements repair hotspots whose H3K4me3 and FACT occupancy confers an active promoter-like code and organization of histones that make DNA damage verifiable by the NER machinery.

Sema6A and Mical1 control cell growth and survival of BRAFV600E human melanomas

Project description:Therapeutic targeting of BRAFV600Eand of MEK has shown a significant impact on progression-free and overall survival in advanced melanoma, but only a fraction of patients benefit from these treatments, suggesting that additional signaling pathways involved in melanoma growth/survival need to be identified. To this end, we used whole genome microarray analysis to identify differentially expressed genes in a set of neoplastic clones, isolated from a single melanoma metastasis, and characterized by mututally exclusive expression of BRAFV600E or NRASQ61R. By this approach we identified two genes, SEMA6A and Mical-1 belonging to the semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway and higly expressed, at mRNA and protein level, in BRAF-mutant neoplastic clones. Real-time PCR, Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry confirmed the preferential expression of SEMA-6A and Mical-1 in BRAFV600E neoplastic cells from melanoma clones, primary and metastatic cell lines and tissue sections from melanoma lesions. SEMA6A depletion, by specific RNA-interference experiments, led to cytoskeletal remodeling, loss of stress fibers, generation of actin-rich protrusion, and cell death, whereas SEMA6A overexpression, in NRASQ61R clones, promoted invasiveness. Mical-1 depletion, by siRNA, in BRAFV600E melanomas, did not alter the actin cytoskeleton organization but caused a strong NDR phosphorylation and NDR-dependent apoptosis. Overall, these results suggest that the SEMA and MICAL pathways contribute to promote survival of BRAFV600E melanomas.

Global Genome-Nucleotide Excision Repair is Organised into Domains Promoting Efficient DNA Repair in Chromatin

Project description:The rates at which lesions are removed by DNA repair can vary widely throughout the genome with important implications for genomic stability. We measured the distribution of nucleotide excision repair (NER) rates for UV induced lesions throughout the yeast genome. By plotting these repair rates in relation to all ORFs and their associated flanking sequences, we reveal that in normal cells, genomic repair rates display a distinctive pattern, suggesting that DNA repair is highly organised within the genome. We compared genome-wide DNA repair rates in wild type and in RAD16 deleted cells, which are defective in the global genome-NER (GG-NER) sub-pathway, demonstrating how this alters the normalâ¨distribution of NER rates throughout the genome. We examine the genomic locations of global genome NER factor binding in chromatin before and after UV irradiation, and reveal that GG-NER is organized and initiated from specific locations. By controlling the chromatin occupancy of the histone acetyl transferase Gcn5, the GG-NER complex regulates the histone H3 acetylation status and chromatin structure in the vicinity of these genomic sites to promote the efficient DNA repair of UV induced lesions. This demonstrates that chromatin remodeling during the GG-NER process is organized into domains in the genome. Importantly, we demonstrate that deleting the histone modifier GCN5, an accessory factor required for chromatin remodeling during GG-NER, significantly alters the genomic distribution of NER rates. These observations could have important implications for the effect of histone and chromatin modifiers on the distribution of genomic mutations acquired throughout the genome.

CPD-seq map of UV damage formation in human fibroblasts

Project description:UV light is an initiating factor in the etiology of human melanoma due to its production of mutagenic DNA photoproducts, primarily cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts. UV-induced mutations are heterogeneously distributed across melanoma genomes, being enriched, for example, in regions of compact heterochromatin and at active transcription factor binding sites (TFBS). Differential ability of nucleotide excision repair (NER) to remove UV-induced DNA lesions in these regions has been proposed as the primary factor establishing the observed regional differences in melanoma mutation density. However, it is not fully understood to what extent the binding of transcription factors and chromatin structure affect UV damage formation, nor how variations in initial damage levels contribute to mutagenesis. Here, we directly mapped sites of CPD formation across the genome in human cells, and show that variations in UV damage formation, due to primary chromatin structure and transcription factor binding, are strongly correlated with local differences in melanoma mutation density. Analysis of individual transcription factors revealed that the E26 transformation-specific (ETS) family is the major contributor to increased somatic mutation density at TFBS in melanoma, primarily because DNA binding by ETS family transcription factors stimulates the formation of CPD lesions, generating UV damage 'hotspots'. Moreover, many ETS binding sites, including those associated with known cancer genes, are recurrently mutated in human melanomas. These findings establish variable lesion formation as a key contributor to mutation heterogeneity in cancer.

Elevated pyrimidine dimer formation at distinct genomic bases underlies promoter mutation hotspots in UV-exposed cancers

Project description:Sequencing of whole cancer genomes has revealed an abundance of recurrent mutations in gene-regulatory promoter regions, in particular in melanoma where strong mutation hotspots are observed adjacent to ETS-family transcription factor (TF) binding sites. While sometimes interpreted as functional driver events, these mutations are commonly believed to be due to locally inhibited DNA repair. Here, we first show that low-dose UV light induces mutations preferably at a known ETS promoter hotspot in cultured cells even in the absence of global or transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (NER). Further, by genome-wide mapping of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) shortly after UV exposure and thus before DNA repair, we find that ETS-related mutation hotspots exhibit strong increases in CPD formation efficacy in a manner consistent with tumor mutation data at the single-base level. Analysis of a large whole genome cohort illustrates the widespread contribution of this effect to recurrent mutations in melanoma. While inhibited NER underlies a general increase in somatic mutation burden in regulatory elements including ETS sites, our data supports that elevated DNA damage formation at specific genomic bases is at the core of the prominent promoter mutation hotspots seen in skin cancers, thus explaining a key phenomenon in whole-genome cancer analyses.

Role of Set2 in regulating transcription coupled-nucleotide excision repair

Project description:Repair of UV damage from the transcribed strand (TS) of yeast genes is rapid due to the transcription coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway. TC-NER is triggered when RNA polymerase stalls at UV damage, such as a UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD). During transcription, the histone methyltransferase Set2 methylates histone H3K36, but it is not known if Set2 regulates TC-NER. Here, we report genome-wide repair maps of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in yeast cells lacking Set2.

Role of H3K36 methylation in regulating transcription coupled-nucleotide excision repair
