Project description:In this study, we used multiplexed DNA repair assays of variants in the BRCA1 carboxy-terminus to functionally characterize 2271 variants for homology-directed repair function (HDR) and 1427 variants for cisplatin resistance (CR). We found a high level of consistent results in the two multiplexed functional assays with non-functional variants located within regions of the BRCA1 protein necessary for its tumor suppression activity.

Project description:Pathogenic variants in BRCA1 are associated with a greatly increased risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). With the increased availability and affordability of genetic testing, many individuals have been identified with BRCA1 variants of uncertain significance (VUSs), which are individually detected in the population too infrequently to ascertain a clinical risk. Functional assays can be used to experimentally assess the effects of these variants. In this study, we used multiplexed DNA repair assays of variants in the BRCA1 carboxyl terminus to functionally characterize 2,271 variants for homology-directed repair function (HDR) and 1,427 variants for cisplatin resistance (CR). We found a high level of consistent results (Pearson's r = 0.74) in the two multiplexed functional assays with non-functional variants located within regions of the BRCA1 protein necessary for its tumor suppression activity. In addition, functional categorizations of variants tested in the multiplex HDR and CR assays correlated with known clinical significance and with other functional assays for BRCA1 (Pearson's r = 0.53 to 0.71). The results of the multiplex HDR and CR assays are useful resources for characterizing large numbers of BRCA1 VUSs.

Project description:Delineating functionally normal variants from functionally abnormal variants in tumor suppressor proteins is critical for cancer surveillance, prognosis, and treatment options. BRCA1 is a protein that has many variants of uncertain significance which are not yet classified as functionally normal or abnormal. In vitro functional assays can be used to identify the functional impact of a variant when the variant has not yet been categorized through clinical observation. Here we employ a homology-directed repair (HDR) reporter assay to evaluate over 300 missense and nonsense BRCA1 variants between amino acid residues 1280 and 1576, which encompasses the coiled-coil and serine cluster domains. Functionally abnormal variants tended to cluster in residues known to interact with PALB2, which is critical for homology-directed repair. Multiplexed results were confirmed by singleton assay and by ClinVar database variant interpretations. Comparison of multiplexed results to designated benign or likely benign or pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the ClinVar database yielded 100% specificity and 100% sensitivity of the multiplexed assay. Clinicians can reference the results of this functional assay for help in guiding cancer treatment and surveillance options. These results are the first to evaluate this domain of BRCA1 using a multiplexed approach and indicate the importance of this domain in the DNA repair process.

Project description:Multiplexed assays of variant effect are powerful methods to profile the consequences of rare variants on gene expression and organismal fitness. Yet, few studies have integrated several multiplexed assays to map variant effects on gene expression in coding sequences. Here, we pioneered a multiplexed assay based on polysome profiling to measure variant effects on translation at scale, uncovering single-nucleotide variants that increase and decrease ribosome load. By combining high-throughput ribosome load data with multiplexed mRNA and protein abundance readouts, we mapped the cis-regulatory landscape of thousands of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) variants from RNA to protein and found numerous coding variants that alter COMT expression. Finally, we trained machine learning models to map signatures of variant effects on COMT gene expression and uncovered both directional and divergent impacts across expression layers. Our analyses reveal expression phenotypes for thousands of variants in COMT and highlight variant effects on both single and multiple layers of expression. Our findings prompt future studies that integrate several multiplexed assays for the readout of gene expression

Project description:BRCA1 (breast cancer 1, early onset) mutations confer a high breast and ovarian cancer risk. Most of BRCA1 cancer-predisposing mutations originate truncated proteins, but missense mutations have also been detected in familial breast and ovarian cancer patients. These variants are rare and their role in cancer predisposition is often difficult to ascertain. Our purpose in the present work was to study the molecular mechanisms affected in human cells by two BRCA1 missense variants both located in the second BRCA1 BRCT domain, M1775R and A1789T. These variants were isolated from familial breast cancer patients and their role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer was also investigated by a study previously performed by our group in yeast cells. Here we present a microarray study to compare the expression profiles of HeLa cells transfected with these two variants and HeLa cells transfected with BRCA1 wild type. Data analysis was performed by evaluating three comparisons: M1775R versus wild-type (M1775RvsWT-contrast), A1789T versus wild-type (A1789TvsWT-contrast) and the mutated BRCT domain versus wild-type (MutvsWT-contrast), obtained by considering the two variants as a unique BRCT mutation. We found 173 differentially expressed genes in MutvsWT-contrast, 201 in M1775RvsWT-contrast and 313 in A1789TvsWT-contrast. Our results showed that the considered BRCA1 variants had an impact on cell processes often deregulated in cancerogenesis, such as cell cycle progression and DNA damage response and repair. Thus, our study further supports the putative role in the pathogenesis of cancer of the M1775R and A1789T BRCA1 variants from a molecular point of view.

Project description:Inactivating germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations confer a defect in homologous recombination DNA repair which was found to leave traces in tumor DNA copy number aberration (CNA) profiles. In analogy to previously trained breast cancer CNA classifiers that predicted association with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutated cancer and benefit of high dose double strand break inducing chemotherapy, we trained BRCA1 and BRCA2 classifiers on CNA profiles of 50 BRCA1 mutated, 10 BRCA2 mutated and 13 non-familial ovarian cancers and investigated whether tumor type and mutation type independent classifiers could be trained. The cross validated area under the curve of the receiver/operator characteristic curve of ovarian cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 classifiers were 0.67 (95% CI: 0.55-0.78) and 0.91 (95% CI: 0.79-1). These classifiers identified the majority of the samples with germline and somatic BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Combining tumor type or mutated gene did not yield higher AUCs than single gene classifiers, although the ovarian BRCA1+BRCA2 classifier identified most BRCA1 and -2 mutated cases, including those in the TCGA dataset, and a combined breast and ovarian cancer BRCA1 classifier may improve response prediction to double strand break inducing chemotherapy.

Project description:BRCA1 exerts transcriptional repression through interaction with CtIP in the C-terminal BRCT domain and ZBRK1 in the central domain. A dozen of genes including angiopoietin-1 (ANG1), a secreted angiogenic factor, are co-repressed by BRCA1 and CtIP based on microarray analysis of mammary epithelial cells in 3-D culture. BRCA1, CtIP and ZBRK1 form a complex that coordinately represses ANG1 expression via a ZBRK1 recognition site in ANG1 promoter. Impairment of this complex upregulates ANG1, which stabilizes endothelial cells forming capillary-like network structure. Consistently, Brca1-deficient mouse mammary tumors exhibit accelerated growth, pronounced vascularization and overexpressed ANG1. These results suggest, besides its role in maintaining genomic stability, BRCA1 directly regulates the expression of angiogenic factors to modulate the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Single nucleotide variants are the most frequent type of sequence changes detected in the genome and these are frequently variants of uncertain significance (VUS). VUS are changes in DNA for which disease risk association is unknown. Thus, methods that classify the functional impact of a VUS can be used as evidence for variant interpretation. In the case of the breast and ovarian cancer specific tumor suppressor protein, BRCA1, pathogenic missense variants frequently score as loss of function in an assay for homology-directed repair (HDR) of DNA double-strand breaks. We previously published functional results using a multiplexed assay for 1056 amino acid substitutions residues 2-192 in the amino terminus of BRCA1. In this study, we have re-assessed the data from this multiplexed assay using an improved analysis pipeline. These new analysis methods yield functional scores for more variants in the first 192 amino acids of BRCA1, plus we report new results for BRCA1 amino acid residues 193-302. We now present the functional classification of 2172 BRCA1 variants in BRCA1 residues 2-302 using the multiplexed HDR assay. Comparison of the functional determinations of the missense variants with clinically known benign or pathogenic variants indicated 93% sensitivity and 100% specificity for this assay. The results from BRCA1 variants tested in this assay are a resource for clinical geneticists for evidence to evaluate VUS in BRCA1.

Project description:BRCA1 functions in multiple biological processes, including double-strand break repair, replication stress suppression, transcriptional regulation, and chromatin reorganization. While non-malignant cells carrying cancer-predisposing BRCA1 mutations exhibit increased genomic instability, it remains unclear whether BRCA1 haploinsufficiency affects transcription and chromatin dynamics. Here we show that primary mammary epithelial cells from women with BRCA1 mutations (BRCA1mut/+) display significant loss of H3K27ac-associated super-enhancers.
