Project description:APOBEC3s-related somatic mutations are the predominant burden in biliary tract cancers (BTCs). Here, we reveal the effects and mechanisms of APOBEC3A/3B functional polymorphisms on cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer (GBC). rs2267401-G at the APOBEC3B promoter decreases cholangiocarcinoma risk but increased GBC risk. rs2267401-G confers a decreased APOBEC3B promoter activity in cholangiocarcinoma cells but an increased activity in GBC cells. rs12157810-C at the APOBEC3A promoter decreases the risk of BTCs. rs12157810-C up-regulated the promoter activity in both cells. APOBEC3A overexpression attenuates cancer evolution via causing apoptosis, in contrast to APOBEC3B. Inflammatory factors promote cancer evolution via interacting with transcriptional repressors regulating the APOBEC3A/3B promoters. ATAC-seq was used to identify the difference between transcriptional networks of cholangiocarcinoma and GBC.

Project description:Base editors (BEs) shed new light on correcting disease-related T-to-C mutations. However, current rat APOBEC1-based BEs are less efficient in editing cytosines in highly-methylated regions or in GpC context. By screening a variety of APOBEC/AID deaminases, we showed that human APOBEC3A-conjugated BE and its engineered forms can mediate efficient C-to-T base editing in all examined contexts, including regions with high-methylation levels and GpC dinucleotides, which extends base editing scope.

Project description:The advent of base editors (BEs) holds a promising potential in correcting pathogenic-related point mutations to treat relevant diseases. Unexpectedly, Cas9 nickase (nCas9) derived BEs lead to DNA double-strand breaks, which can trigger unwanted cellular responses including a p53-mediated DNA damage response (DDR). Here, we showed that catalytically-dead-Cas12a (dCas12a) conjugated BEs induced no DNA break and minimally activated DDR proteins including H2AX, ATM, ATR and p53. We further developed a BEACON (Base Editing induced by human APOBEC3A and Cas12a without DNA break) system that fuses dCas12a to the engineered APOBEC3A with enhanced deamination efficiency and editing specificity. By using BEACON, efficient C-to-T editing was achieved at levels comparable to AncBE4max and only low levels of DDR and RNA off-target (OT) effects were triggered in mammalian cells. BEACON also induced in vivo base editing in mouse embryos and targeted C-to-T conversions were detected in F0 mice.

Project description:The utility of RADseq in an experimental setting is also demonstrated, based on our chasacterisation of an APOBEC mutation signature in an APOBEC3A transfected mouse cell line. 0D5 cells, derived from SSM3 cells, were co-transfected with a mixture containing pcDNA3.1 vectors expressing either APOBEC3A or APOBEC3B (kindly donated by Vincent Caval), pcDNA3.1 construct expressing deaminase null APOBEC3A linked to a uracil deglycosylase construct and a plasmid encoding mutant GFP and WT mCherry that is a reporter for APOBEC mutagenesis. Cells were grown, and gDNA extracted, prior to preparation of RADseq libraries using a PstI- MspI double-digest. Libraries underwent a Pippin Prep to select fragments in the size range of 220-520 bp (genomic sequence plus 148 bp of adapters). Single-end sequencing (1x101bp) was performed on an Illumina NovaSeq6000 utilizing v1.5 chemistry. Reads were aligned to mm10 using bwa mem and variants called using the GATK4 pipeline.

Project description:Macrophages acquire a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in response to microbial products or pro-inflammatory cytokines through incompletely understood molecular mechanisms. We recently described the induction of APOBEC3A-mediated cellular site-specific cytosine-to-uracil (C>U) RNA editing during M1 macrophage polarization. However, the functional significance of this RNA editing is unknown. Here, we find that cellular RNA editing by APOBEC3A can also be induced by influenza or Maraba virus infections in normal macrophages, and by interferons in tumor-associated macrophages. Gene knockdown and RNA Seq analyses show that APOBEC3A induces C>U RNA editing (range 7%-88%) of 209 exonic or UTR sites in 203 genes during M1 polarization of monocyte-derived macrophages. The highest level of deleterious protein-recoding C>U RNA editing is observed in THOC5, which encodes a key nuclear protein implicated in the export of mRNAs during M-CSF driven macrophage differentiation. Knockdown of APOBEC3A in M1 macrophages reduces pro-inflammatory IL6, IL23A, and IL12B gene expression, CD80 and CD86 surface protein expression, and TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 cytokine secretion, and increases glycolysis and glycolytic capacity. These results demonstrate that APOBEC3A cytidine deaminase plays an important role in transcriptomic and functional polarization of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages.

Project description:CRISPR-guided DNA base editors enable the efficient installation of targeted single-nucleotide changes. Cytosine or adenine base editors (CBEs or ABEs), which are fusions of cytidine or adenosine deaminases to CRISPR-Cas nickases, can efficiently induce DNA C-to-T or A-to-G alterations in DNA, respectively. We recently demonstrated that both the widely used CBE BE3 (harboring a rat APOBEC1 cytidine deaminase) and the optimized ABEmax editor can induce tens of thousands of guide RNA-independent, transcriptome-wide RNA base edits in human cells with high efficiencies. In addition, we showed the feasibility of creating SElective Curbing of Unwanted RNA Editing (SECURE)-BE3 variants that exhibit substantially reduced unwanted RNA editing activities while retaining robust and more precise on-target DNA editing. Here we describe structure-guided engineering of SECURE-ABE variants that not only possess reduced off-target RNA editing with comparable on-target DNA activities but are also the smallest Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) base editors described to date. In addition, we tested CBEs composed of cytidine deaminases other than APOBEC1 and found that human APOBEC3A (hA3A) cytidine deaminase CBE induces substantial transcriptome-wide RNA base edits with high efficiencies. By contrast, a previously described “enhanced” A3A (eA3A) cytidine deaminase CBE or a human activation-induced cytidine deaminase (hAID) CBE induce substantially reduced or near background levels of RNA edits. In sum, our work describes broadly useful SECURE-ABE and -CBE base editors and reinforces the importance of minimizing RNA editing activities of DNA base editors for research and therapeutic applications.
