Project description:Transcriptome analysis to map transcriptomes of Mad2 p53null-driven aneuploid liver cancers and T-ALLs, to determine correlation between copy number changes and expression changes and to map the transcriptional response to CIN Chromosome instability (CIN) leads to aneuploidy and copy number variations (CNVs). Even though both are hallmarks of cancer cells, aneuploidy inhibits proliferation of untransformed cells, suggesting that cancer cells have adapted to cope with CIN. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) prevents CIN by monitoring chromosome attachment and sister chromatid tension in mitosis. By conditionally inactivating Mad2, an essential SAC gene, we find that SAC inactivation in T-cells or hepatocytes is remarkably well tolerated and becomes tumorigenic when placed in a p53null or p53+/- predisposed background. The resulting T-ALLs and HCCs are highly aneuploid, exhibit clonal copy number changes that are tumor specific despite ongoing CIN, indicating that CIN is a powerful driver of tumor evolution.

Project description:Mad2 and p53 loss were combined in liver or T-cells specificely leading to early onset and highly aggressive aneuploid HCC and T-ALL. Tumours were characterized for (recurrrent) copy number changes with a focus on whole chromosome abnormalities.

Project description:RNF8 is downregulated in glioblastoma and low RNF8 expression correlates with poor patient prognosis. Overexpression (OE) of RNF8 in glioblastoma stem cell (GSC) impairs its proliferation and tumorigenicity, and the anti-cancer effects of RNF8 are dependent on both its FHA and RING domains. Paradoxically, transcriptomic analysis of RNF8 OE GSC reveals cell cycle as the top upregulated pathway. Mechanistically, RNF8 interacts with the mitotic checkpoint protein MAD2 in a RING domain-dependent manner to induce spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) activation. RNF8 OE GSC displays increase level of aneuploidy and micronuclei formation, suggesting that RNF8 promotes chromosomal instability (CIN) in GSC through persistent SAC activation.

Project description:Aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer, often arises from whole chromosome instability (W-CIN). Many cancers exhibiting W-CIN, however, show no direct insult to the mitotic proteins that ensure proper segregation of chromosomes. This has stimulated interest in identifying defects in non-mitotic processes that might disrupt chromosome behavior in mitosis. Here we show in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that re-replication of centromeric DNA, caused by deregulation of replication initiation proteins, efficiently induces chromosome instability––either by causing missegregation of both sister chromatids to one daughter cell or by triggering formation of an extra chromatid through a pathway dependent on homologous recombination. Given the emerging connections between the deregulation of replication initiation proteins and oncogenesis, our findings offer the possibility of a new non-mitotic source of W-CIN and aneuploidy that may be relevant to cancer. Diploid strains containing a re-replicating locus were induced to re-replicate through a centromere. This compilation includes the analysis of the re-replication, as well as the copy-number determination of alleged aneuploid colonies from various backgrounds. Series contains a total of 194 copy number hybridizations and 8 re-replication profile hybridizations. Note that the VALUE field reported for all of the sample tables in this series are the log2 of the normalized Cy3/Cy5 ratio. To convert these into usable copy number profiles raise 2 to the indicated VALUE.

Project description:Analysis of the transcriptional response to aneuploidy in mouse epidermis. In this study we measured the transcriptional response to aneuploidy by aboragting the spindle checkpoint in mouse epidermis. We found that, whereas spindle checkpoint inactivation in the epidermis is tolerated, but results in metabolic deranged cells, SAC abrogation kills bulge stem cells Mad2; K14-Cre mice were sacrificed at indicated timepoints and epidermis was separated from dermis using overnight trypsin. RNA was isolated and expression patterns were compared between K14-Cre; Mad2f/f and Cfre negative animals for all timepoints.

Project description:Chromosomal instability (CIN), defined as an increased occurrence of chromosome segregation errors during cell division, is a prominent form of genomic instability (Bakhoum and Avi Landau, 2017). It is the major cause of aneuploidy, an imbalanced complement of whole chromosomes or chromosome arms, which is the most prevalent genetic alteration in human cancers (Vasudevan et al., 2021; Santaguida and Amon, 2015). Importantly, aneuploidy is commonly associated with ongoing CIN through consecutive cell divisions (Shelzer et al. 2011; Passerini et al., 2016), resulting in intratumor genetic heterogeneity, a central driver of cancer evolution and therapeutic resistance (Sansregret et al., 2018; Ben-David and Amon, 2019). Indeed, aneuploidy has been shown to act both as a tumor suppressor and as a tumor initiator (Weaver et al., 2007; Silk et al., 2013; Vasudevan et al., 2020), most likely depending on the specific chromosomes that are gained or lost (Ben-David et al., 2011; Sack et al., 2018; Adell et al., 2023). Despite the ubiquitous presence of CIN in several aneuploid cancer types and its clinical relevance, its presence in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) remains largely unexplored owing to the impaired proliferation of leukemic cells in vitro and the lack of reliable experimental models to comprehensively assess chromosome segregation in vivo. B-ALL is the most frequent childhood cancer, with 75% of cases occurring in children under 6 years of age, and it is characterized by the accumulation of highly proliferative immature B-cell precursors in the bone marrow (BM) (Hunger and Mullighan, 2015). The presence of CIN and its contribution to aneuploid cB-ALL progression is largely unknown due to the lack of preclinical models to study actively dividing cells. Accordingly, studies of CIN in cB-ALL are limited to the characterization of chromosomal copy-number heterogeneity (chr-CNH) in primary cB-ALL samples, but there is controversy over its presence due to the different techniques used to assess karyotype variability (Raimondi et al., 1996; Talamo et al., 2010; Alpar et al., 2014; Heerema et al.; 2007; Ramos-Muntada et al., 2022). Here, we explored the presence and the levels of CIN in different clinically-relevant aneuploid subtypes of cB-ALL using single-cell whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of primary samples to reliably assess chr-CNH, and by generating a large cohort of PDX models from primary cB-ALL samples (cB-ALL-PDX). Our results in cB-ALL-PDX models revealed variable levels of CIN in aneuploid cB-ALL subtypes, which significantly correlate with intraclonal karyotype heterogeneity and with disease progression. Additionally, mass-spectrometry analyses of cB-ALL-PDX samples revealed a CIN “signature” enriched in mitosis and chromosome segregation regulatory pathways. We speculate that this signature identifies adaptive mechanisms to ongoing CIN in aneuploid cB-ALL cells, which displayed a transcriptional signature characterized by an impaired mitotic spindle as observed by RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) analyses of a large cohort of primary cB-ALL patient samples. Our work might help to improve stratification of patients with cB-ALL with different levels of CIN who could benefit in the future from new therapeutic approaches aiming to target ongoing CIN.

Project description:Chromosome instability (CIN) leads to aneuploidy, a state in which cells have abnormal numbers of chromosomes affecting two out of three cancers. Continuous CIN in murine T-cells was previously shown to dramatically accelerate lymphomagenesis in a p53-deficient background. Despite the predicted ongoing CIN in our mouse model, we observed whole chromosome copy number changes that affected all lymphoma cells, suggesting that CIN is somehow suppressed in the aneuploid lymphomas or that selection for frequently lost/gained chromosomes outcompetes the CIN-imposed missegregation. To distinguish between these explanations and to examine karyotype dynamics in CIN lymphoma, we used a newly developed single-cell whole genome-sequencing (scWGS) platform that provides a complete and unbiased overview of copy number variations (CNV) in individual cells. In this study we applied single cell whole genome sequencing (scWGS) to map and quantify karyotype heterogeneity in primary mouse lymphoma and human leukaemia samples. We used cohorts of Mps1f/f; Lck-Cre+, Mps1f/f; p53f/f; Lck-Cre+ and Mps1f/f; p53f/+; Lck-Cre+ mice, and Lck-Cre- mice as controls. Mice were sacrificed when exhibiting signs of lymphoma (10-14 weeks of age, typically dyspnoea due to an enlarged thymus), thymuses were harvested, and primary T-ALL single cell suspensions were frozen for subsequent single cell sequencing analysis.

Project description:Chromosomal instability (CIN) is thought to be a source of mutability in human cancer. However, CIN is highly deleterious for the cell, and the resulting aneuploidy induces metabolic stress and compromises cell fitness. Here we utilized the X-chromosome dosage compensation mechanism and changes in X-chromosome number to demonstrate in Drosophila epithelial cells the causal relationship between CIN, aneuploidy, gene dosage imbalance and tumorigenesis. Whereas the harmful effects of CIN can be buffered by resetting the X-chromosome dosage compensation to compensate for changes in X-chromosome number, interfering with the mechanisms of dosage compensation suffices to induce tumorigenesis. In addition, multiple mechanisms buffer the deleterious effects of CIN including DNA-damage repair, activation of the p38 signalling pathway, and induction of cytokine expression to promote compensatory cell proliferation. These data reveal a key role of gene dosage imbalances to CIN-induced programmed cell death and tumorigenesis and the existence of robust compensatory mechanisms.

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.
