Project description:Quiescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are prone to mutagenesis, and accumulation of mutations can result in hematological malignancies. The mechanisms through which HSCs prevent such detrimental accumulation, however, are unclear. Here, we show that Aspp1 coordinates with p53 to maintain the genomic integrity of the HSC pool. Aspp1 is preferentially expressed in HSCs and restricts HSC pool size by attenuating self-renewal under steady state conditions. After genotoxic stress, Aspp1 promotes HSC cycling and induces p53-dependent apoptosis in cells with persistent DNA damage foci. Beyond these p53-dependent functions, Aspp1 attenuates HSC self-renewal and accumulation of DNA damage in p53-null HSCs. Consequently, concomitant loss of Aspp1 and p53 leads to the development of hematological malignancies, especially T-cell leukemia and lymphoma. Together, these data highlights coordination between Aspp1 and p53 in regulating HSC self-renewal and DNA damage tolerance, and suggest that HSCs possess specific mechanisms that prevent accumulation of mutations and malignant transformation. 8-week-old WT, Aspp1-/-, Mx1-Cre(+)p53flox/flox and Mx1-Cre(+)Aspp1-/-p53flox/flox mice were intraperitoneally administered with 400 μg pIpC five times every other day to obtain WT, Aspp1-/-, p53-/- and Aspp1-/-p53-/- bone marrow. 4 weeks after pIpC treatment, bone marrow lineage(-) Sca-1(+) cKit(+) cells were isolated. RNA was extracted and pooled from 3 independent mice per genotype. RNA samples were then amplified, labeled, and hybridized to independent arrays.

Abstract:
Following DNA damage caused by exogenous sources, such as
ionizing radiation, the tumour suppressor p53 mediates cell
cycle arrest via expression of the CDK inhibitor, p21. However,
the role of p21 in maintaining genomic stability in the absence
of exogenous DNA-damaging agents is unclear. Here, using live
single-cell measurements of p21 protein in proliferating
cultures, we show that naturally occurring DNA damage incurred
over S-phase causes p53-dependent accumulation of p21 during
mother G2- and daughter G1-phases. High p21 levels mediate G1
arrest via CDK inhibition, yet lower levels have no impact on
G1 progression, and the ubiquitin ligases CRL4Cdt2 and SCFSkp2
couple to degrade p21 prior to the G1/S transition.
Mathematical modelling reveals that a bistable switch, created
by CRL4Cdt2, promotes irreversible S-phase entry by keeping p21
levels low, preventing premature S-phase exit upon DNA damage.
Thus, we characterize how p21 regulates the
proliferation-quiescence decision to maintain genomic
stability.

Project description:DNA integrity is constantly challenged by both endogenous and exogenous damaging agents, resulting in various forms of damage. Failure to repair DNA accurately leads to genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer. Distinct pathways exist to repair different types of DNA damage. Double-strand breaks (DSBs) represent particularly severe form of damage, due to physical separation of DNA strands. Repair of DSBs requires activity of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) and generation of Damage-associated transcripts (DARTs). Here we show that the RNA m5C-methyltransferase NSUN2 localizes to DSBs in transcription-dependent manner, where it binds to and methylates DARTs. Depletion of NSUN2 results in an accumulation of nascent DARTs around DSBs, specifically of the de novo primary DARTs. Furthermore, we detected an RNA-dependent interaction between NSUN2 and DICER, which was stimulated by DNA damage. NSUN2 activity promoted Dicer cleavage of DARTs associated R-loops, which is required for efficient DNA repair. We report a previously unrecognized role of the RNA m5C-methyltransferase NSUN2 within RNA-dependent DNA damage response, highlighting its function as a DICER chaperone for the clearance of non-canonical substrates such as DARTs, thereby contributing to genomic integrity.

A comprehensive model for
the proliferation-quiescence decision in response to endogenous
DNA damage in human cells.

Abstract:
Human cells that suffer mild DNA damage can enter a
reversible state of growth arrest known as quiescence. This
decision to temporarily exit the cell cycle is essential to
prevent the propagation of mutations, and most cancer cells
harbor defects in the underlying control system. Here we
present a mechanistic mathematical model to study the
proliferation-quiescence decision in nontransformed human
cells. We show that two bistable switches, the restriction
point (RP) and the G1/S transition, mediate this decision by
integrating DNA damage and mitogen signals. In particular, our
data suggest that the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21
(Cip1/Waf1), which is expressed in response to DNA damage,
promotes quiescence by blocking positive feedback loops that
facilitate G1 progression downstream of serum stimulation.
Intriguingly, cells exploit bistability in the RP to convert
graded p21 and mitogen signals into an all-or-nothing
cell-cycle response. The same mechanism creates a window of
opportunity where G1 cells that have passed the RP can revert
to quiescence if exposed to DNA damage. We present experimental
evidence that cells gradually lose this ability to revert to
quiescence as they progress through G1 and that the onset of
rapid p21 degradation at the G1/S transition prevents this
response altogether, insulating S phase from mild, endogenous
DNA damage. Thus, two bistable switches conspire in the early
cell cycle to provide both sensitivity and robustness to
external stimuli.

Project description:Various modes of DNA repair counteract genotoxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to maintain genome stability. Recent findings suggest that the human DNA damage response (DDR) utilises damage-induced small RNA for efficient repair of DSBs. However, production and processing of RNA is poorly understood. Here we show that localised induction of DSBs triggers phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) on carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) residue tyrosine-1 in an Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex-dependent manner. CTD Tyr1-phosphorylated RNAPII synthetises, strand-specific, damage-responsive transcripts (DARTs). DART synthesis occurs via formation of transient RNA-DNA hybrid (R-loop) intermediates. Impaired R-loop formation attenuates DART synthesis, impairs recruitment of repair factors and delays the DDR. Collectively, we provide mechanistic insight in RNA-dependent DSB repair.
