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.
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
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:There are many different types and origins of aneuploidy, but whether there is a uniform cellular response to aneuploidy in human cells has not been addressed so far. To uncover a uniform transcriptional response to aneuploidy we evaluted the transcription profiles of trisomic and tetrasomic cell lines and cell lines with complex aneuploid karyotypes.
Project description:<p>Aneuploidy causes system-wide disruptions in the stochiometric balances of transcripts, proteins, and metabolites, often resulting in detrimental effects for the organism. The protozoan parasite Leishmania has an unusually high tolerance for aneuploidy, but the molecular and functional consequences for the pathogen remain poorly understood. Here, we addressed this question in vitro and present the first integrated analysis of the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome of highly aneuploid Leishmania donovani strains. Our analyses unambiguously establish that aneuploidy in Leishmania proportionally impacts the average transcript- and protein abundance levels of affected chromosomes, ultimately correlating with the degree of metabolic differences between strains. This proportionality was present in both proliferative and non-proliferative in vitro promastigotes. However, protein complex subunits and non-cytoplasmic proteins, showed dosage compensation, responding less or even not at all to aneuploidy-induced dosage changes. In contrast to other Eukaryotes, we did not observe the widespread regulation at the transcript level that typically modulates some of the negative effects of aneuploidy. Further, the majority of differentially expressed proteins between aneuploid strains were encoded by non-aneuploid chromosomes and were not driven by a significant underlying transcript change, suggesting that aneuploidy is accompanied by extensive post-transcriptional protein-level modulation. This makes Leishmania a unique Eukaryotic model for elucidating post-transcriptional protein-abundance modulation in the context of aneuploidy.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Data availability:</strong></p><p>Proteomic data associated with this study are available in the PRIDE repository: accession number <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD028521' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'>PXD028521</a>.</p>
Project description:There are many different types and origins of aneuploidy, but whether there is a uniform cellular response to aneuploidy in human cells has not been addressed so far. To uncover a uniform transcriptional response to aneuploidy we evaluted the transcription profiles of trisomic and tetrasomic cell lines and cell lines with complex aneuploid karyotypes. mRNA expression analysis of aneuploid cell lines derived from HCT116 compared to the HCT116 diploid cell line. With the exception of HCT116 3/3, three biological replicates of the Microarray experiment were performed.
Project description:Recent advancements in genome sequencing have facilitated accessing the natural genetic diversity of species, unveiling hidden genetic traits, clarifying gene functions, and the degree to which laboratory studies can be generalized. One notable discovery is the frequent (~20%) aneuploidy - an imbalance in chromosome copy numbers - in natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) isolates, despite the significant fitness costs and transient nature reported for lab-engineered yeast aneuploids. To examine this discrepancy, we adapted a high-throughput proteomic platform to analyze the proteome of 800 diverse yeast isolates. Matching these proteomes to the natural isolates’ genomes, transcriptomes, as well as generating ubiquitinome and protein turnover data for selected isolates, we report that natural and lab-generated aneuploids differ specifically at the proteome. While lab-generated aneuploids attenuate specific proteins – mostly protein complex subunits – and do not alter the average gene dosage provided by chromosome duplications, in natural strains, 70% of proteins encoded on aneuploid chromosomes are attenuated, and protein levels are shifted towards the euploid state chromosome-wide. Our data links chromosome-wide dosage compensation in natural strains to i) genome-wide buffering of gene expression changes manifesting in trans on euploid chromosomes, ii) increased expression of structural components of the ubiquitin proteasome system, and iii) increased global rates of protein turnover. Our results encourage the exploitation of natural diversity of species to understand complex biological processes at the molecular level. This submission contains the raw files for the disomics lab engineered strains, the library used for the analysis and the corresponding DIA-NN report and associated files.
Project description:Aneuploidy, or an aberrant karyotype, results in developmental disabilities and has been implicated in tumorigenesis. However, the causes of aneuploidy-induced phenotypes and the consequences of aneuploidy on cell physiology remain poorly understood. We have performed a meta-analysis on gene expression data from aneuploid cells in diverse organisms, including yeast, plants, mice, and humans. We found highly-related gene expression patterns that are conserved between species: genes that were involved in the response to stress were consistently upregulated, while genes associated with the cell cycle and cell proliferation were downregulated in aneuploid cells. Within species, different aneuploidies induced similar changes in gene expression, independent of the specific chromosomal aberrations. Taken together, our results demonstrate that aneuploidies of different chromosomes and in different organisms impact similar cellular pathways and cause a stereotypical anti-proliferative response that must be overcome prior to transformation.
