Expression data from intestinal crypts and stroma of wild type and late generation (4th generation) telomerase-deficient mice

ABSTRACT: Telomeres shorten with each round of cell division, and the expression of telomerase serves to lengthen telomeres. In the absence of telomerase, telomeres shorten to the point of uncapping and causes defects in tissues with high turnover, including the intestinal epithelium. In mice lacking telomerase (e.g. mTR-/-), telomeres critically shorten after several generations of telomerase deficiency, with pronounced defects in their intestine. Crypt epithelium and underlying stroma were each isolated from wild type (WT) and late generation (4th generation or G4) mice and used for mRNA expression profiling.

Comparing effects of mTR and mTERT deletion on gene expression and DNA damage response: liver

Project description:Telomerase, the essential enzyme that maintains telomere length, contains two core components, TERT and TR. While early studies in yeast and mouse both indicated that loss of telomerase leads to phenotypes that arise after an increased number of generations, due to telomere shortening, recent studies claim additional roles for telomerase components in transcription and the response to DNA damage. To test these telomere length maintenance-independent roles of telomerase components, we examined first generation mTR-/- and mTERT-/- mice with long telomeres. We used gene expression profiling and found no genes that were expressed at significantly different levels when independent mTR-/- G1 mice were compared to mTERT-/- G1 mice and to wild-type mice. In addition, we compared the response to DNA damage in mTR-/-G1 and mTERT-/- G1 mouse embryonic fibroblasts, and found no increase in the response to DNA damage in the absence of either telomerase components compared to wild-type. We conclude that in the wild-type physiological telomere length setting, neither mTR nor mTERT act as a transcription factor or have a role in the DNA damage response.

TERRA interactome in human ALT cancer cells identified by iDRiP-MS method

Project description:Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) cancer cells are a subset of cancers that depend on the homologous recombination mechanism to extend their telomere length independent of telomerase. ALT cells contain elevated levels of the telomeric-repeat containing long noncoding RNA (TERRA), which is an RNA transcribed by RNA polymerase II and can form RNA:DNA (R-loops) hybrids at telomeres. Lines of evidence have shown that the formation of R-loops at telomeres could be one of the mechanisms to trigger DNA repair to lengthen telomeres. We perform iDRiP-MS, a method to capture specific RNA interacting protein by UV light crosslinking using antisense probe capture (Chu et al., 2017a; Minajigi et al., 2015), to explore the TERRA interactomes in human ALT cancer cell. Our TERRA interactome data reveals that TERRA interacts with an extensive subset of DNA repair proteins in ALT cells including the endonuclease XPF, suggesting that TERRA R-loops activate DDR via XPF to promote homologous recombination and telomere replication to drive ALT.

Expression data between WT and G3/4 Terc KO mouse ESCs during differentiation

Project description:Mammalian telomeres are formed by tandem repeats of the TTAGGG sequence, and shorten with each round of cell division in the absence of telomerase. Telomere shortening and dysfunction has been implicated in the pathology of several age-related diseases and premature ageing syndromes. Telomerase is important for telomere length maintenance. Telomerase RNA component, also known as TERC, is a component of telomerase. Terc knockout leads to telomerase deficiency and telomere shortening. Heterozygous telomerase-deficient (Terc+/-) mice were housed and bred for homozygous generation. ESC lines were generated with high efficiency from wild-type (WT, Terc+/+), heterozygous (Het, Terc+/-) and early- to late-generation (G1, G3 and G4) Terc-/- mouse blastocysts. Telomeres were shorter in Terc+/- ES cells than in WT ES cells, and further shortened from G1 to G4 Terc-/- ES cells. We took advantage of ES cell lines with various telomere lengths to investigate roles of telomere length on differentiation capacity of ES cells. We found that telomere length, but not telomerase activity, is required for differentiation of ES cells into epidermis. We performed microarray analysis to investigate differential gene expression profile at genome-wide levels between WT and G3/G4 Terc-/- (KO) mouse ES cells and during differentiation in vitro of WT and G4 Terc-/- mouse ES cells.

A genetic interaction between RAP1 and telomerase reveals an unanticipated role for RAP1 in telomere protection

Project description:RAP1 is one of the components of mammalian shelterin, the capping complex at chromosome ends or telomeres, although its role in telomere protection has remained elusive. RAP1 binds along chromosome arms, where it regulates gene expression and has been shown to function in metabolism control. Telomerase is the enzyme that elongates telomeres and its deficiency causes a premature aging in mice. We describe an unanticipated genetic interaction between RAP1 and telomerase. While RAP1 deficiency alone does not impact in mouse survival, mice lacking both RAP1 and telomerase show a progressive decreased survival with increasing mouse generation as compared to telomerase single mutants. Telomere shortening was more pronounced in Rap1-/- Terc-/- than in Terc-/- counterparts, leading to an earlier onset of DNA damage and its consequent DNA damage response as well as accelerated degenerative pathologies in the intestines. In its turn, telomerase deficiency abolishes RAP1-mediated obesity and liver pathologies. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts with shorten telomeres present less amount of telomere-bound RAP1 but in contrast show higher numbers of RAP1 bound extratelomeric sites genomewide. Absence of RAP1 leads to deregulation of several metabolic pathways, and these changes were more pronounce in cells with short telomeres suggesting that RAP1 release from telomere foci could constitute a coordinated genomic response to telomere shortening. Our findings also demonstrate that although RAP1 is not a key factor in telomere capping under normal conditios, under stress situation such as critical telomere shortening RAP1 exerts an important function for telomere protection and justify its evolutionary conservation as a shelterin component in mammalian cells.

Peroxiredoxin 1 protects telomeres from oxidative damage preserving chromosome ends for extension by telomerase

Project description:With the increase of atmospheric oxygen 2.3 billion years ago, mechanisms evolved to mitigate the toxic effects of oxygen radicals. Telomeres appear particularly susceptible to oxidative damage, which leads to cellular and organismal aging, cancer, cardiac failure and other diseases. Specific mechanisms of telomere protection from oxidative damage and the molecular consequences of the damage have not been described. Here, we identify the antioxidant enzyme peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) enriched in telomeric chromatin in S and G2 phases of the cell cycle during which telomeres become replicated. PRDX1 depletion leads to oxidative damage of telomeric DNA without affecting the bulk of genomic DNA. The oxidized nucleotide 8-oxo-2’deoxyguanosine-5’-triphosphate (8oxodGTP) can be incorporated by telomerase into telomeric repeats but it mediates premature chain termination when incorporated as first G in the telomeric 5’-TTAGGG-3’ sequence. In dependency of the alignment position within the telomerase RNA template, terminus 8oxoG containing DNA substrates also completely block extension by telomerase. We propose two major mechanisms by which PRDX1 counteracts telomere damage and aging. In safeguarding telomeres from oxygen radicals, PRDX1 prevents DNA damage, telomere replication defects and mutations that will perturb recognition of telomeric DNA by shelterin components. In preventing modification of the telomeric DNA substrate and the dNTP pool, PRDX1 preserves telomeres for elongation by telomerase.

Small RNA-mediated genomic silencing promotes telomere stability in the absence of telomerase

Project description:Telomerase deficiency and progressive telomere erosion in human somatic cells results in senescence. Small RNAs that target telomeres have been observed in diverse organisms but their functions are not well characterized. We define an endogenous small RNA pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans that promotes heterochromatin formation at telomeres via Dicer, the perinuclear Argonaute protein WAGO-1 and the nuclear Argonaute protein HRDE-1. Loss of telomerase induces biogenesis of siRNAs that target the telomeric lncRNA TERRA, whereas loss of both telomerase and small RNA-mediated telomeric silencing induces TERRA expression, DNA damage, and an accelerated sterility phenotype. The latter phenotypes can be rescued by exogenous telomeric siRNAs or by loss of the DNA damage response protein EXO-1. Thus, endogenous siRNAs interact with TERRA to promote heterochromatin formation in a manner that is critical for the stability of naturally eroding telomeres. We propose that small RNA-mediated heterochromatin defects could contribute to proliferative aging by promoting genome stability.

Transcriptional profiling of short telomere iPS derived sorted SFTPC+ iAT2 cells

Project description:Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by deficiencies in telomere maintenance leading to very short telomeres and the premature onset of certain age_Related diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis (PF). PF is thought to derive from epithelial failure, particularly that of type II alveolar epithelial (AT2) cells, which are highly dependent on Wnt signaling during development and adult regeneration. We use human iPSC-derived AT2 (iAT2) cells to model how short telomeres affect AT2 cells. Cultured DC mutant iAT2 cells accumulate shortened, uncapped telomeres and manifest defects in the growth of alveolospheres, hallmarks of senescence, and apparent defects in Wnt signaling. The GSK3 inhibitor, CHIR99021, which mimics the output of canonical Wnt signaling, enhances telomerase activity and rescues the defects. These findings support further investigation of Wnt agonists as potential therapies for DC related pathologies.
