Naturally occurring tumours in the basal metazoan Hydra.

Project description:The molecular nature of malignant tumors is well studied in vertebrates, while their evolutionary origin remains unknown. In particular, there is no evidence for naturally occurring malignant tumors in pre-bilaterian animals, such as sponges and cnidarians. This is somewhat surprising given that recent computational studies have predicted that all metazoans are prone to develop tumors. Here we provide first evidence for naturally occurring tumors in Hydra oligactis. Histological, cellular and molecular data reveal that these tumors are transplantable and caused by differentiation arrest of female gametes. Growth of tumor cells is independent from the cellular environment. Tumor bearing polyps have significantly reduced fitness. In addition, Hydra tumors show a greatly altered transcriptome that mimics expression shifts in vertebrate cancers. Therefore, this study shows, that invasive tumors have deep roots in animal phylogeny, and that early branching animals may be informative in revealing the fundamental mechanisms of tumorigenesis.

Differentiating naturally occurring and disease associated autoantibodies in MPO-ANCA vasculitis through immunogenomic and epitope comparisons

Project description:It has been established that there are naturally occurring autoantibodies including ANCAs that are found in healthy individuals. While ANCAs are pathogenic in patients with vasculitis, they can be present without active clinical disease. This raises the question of what is distinct about the autoantibodies which cause disease. We used highly sensitive methods to isolate autoantibody producing cells from healthy individuals and patients with MPO-ANCA to sequence the BCRs (autoantibodies). We also used serum samples to analyze the reactive epitopes from both groups. We found that the isolated autoantigen specific B cells from our patients (but not healthy individuals) produced high levels of detectable MPO-ANCAs. The BCRs from patient cells showed clonal expansion and significant overlap in the complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3). We also identified distinct epitopes bound by patient autoantibodies only. Our study highlights the differences in naturally occurring autoantibodies (from healthy individuals) compared to autoantibodies identified in patients with MPO-ANCA.

First empirical evidence of naturally occurring androgenesis in vertebrates.

Project description:Androgenesis among vertebrates is considered a rare phenomenon, with some cases reported so far, but linked to experiments involving gamete manipulation (artificial androgenesis). Herein, we report the first empirical evidence of the natural occurrence of spontaneous androgenesis in a vertebrate, the Squalius alburnoides allopolyploid complex. A genetically screened random sample of a natural population was allowed to reproduce in an isolated pond without any human interference, and the viable offspring obtained was later analysed for paternity. Both nuclear and mitochondrial markers showed that the only allodiploid fish found among all the allotriploid offspring was androgenetically produced by an allodiploid male. This specimen had no female nuclear genomic input, and the sequence of the mitochondrial fragment examined differed from that of the male progenitor, matching one of the parental females available in the pond, probably the mother. The possible role of androgenesis in the reproductive dynamics of this highly successful vertebrate complex is discussed.

Systematic analysis of effects of naturally occurring insertions and deletions that alter transcription factor spacing identifies tolerant and sensitive transcription factor pairs [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Regulation of gene expression requires the combinatorial binding of sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) at promoters and enhancers. Prior studies showed that alterations in the spacing between TF binding sites can influence promoter and enhancer activity. However, the relative importance of TF spacing alterations resulting from naturally occurring insertions and deletions (InDels) has not been systematically analyzed. To address this question, we first characterized the genome-wide spacing relationships of 75 TFs in K562 cells as determined by ChIP-sequencing. We found a dominant pattern of a relaxed range of spacing between collaborative factors, including forty-six factors exclusively exhibiting relaxed spacing with their binding partners. Next, we exploited millions of InDels provided by genetically diverse mouse strains and human individuals to investigate the effects of altered spacing on TF binding and local histone acetylation. Spacing alterations resulting from naturally occurring InDels are generally tolerated in comparison to genetic variants directly affecting TF binding sites. A remarkable range of tolerance was further established for PU.1 and C/EBPβ, which exhibit relaxed spacing, by introducing synthetic spacing alterations ranging from 5-bp increase to >30-bp decrease using CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis. These findings provide implications for understanding mechanisms underlying enhancer selection and for interpretation of non-coding genetic variation.

De novo assembly of siRNA immunity in wild plants

Project description:We describe an application of deep sequencing and de novo assembly of short RNA reads to investigate small interfering (si)RNAs mediated immunity in leaf samples from eight tree taxa naturally occurring in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire, UK. BLAST search for homologues of contigs in the GenBank identified siRNA populations against a number of RNA viruses and a Ty1-copia retrotransposons in these tree species.
