Developmental and cancer-associated plasticity of DNA replication preferentially targets GC-poor, lowly expressed and late-replicating regions.

ABSTRACT: The spatiotemporal program of metazoan DNA replication is regulated during development and altered in cancers. We have generated novel OK-seq, Repli-seq and RNA-seq data to compare the DNA replication and gene expression programs of twelve cancer and non-cancer human cell types. Changes in replication fork directionality (RFD) determined by OK-seq are widespread but more frequent within GC-poor isochores and largely disconnected from transcription changes. Cancer cell RFD profiles cluster with non-cancer cells of similar developmental origin but not with different cancer types. Importantly, recurrent RFD changes are detected in specific tumour progression pathways. Using a model for establishment and early progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), we identify 1027 replication initiation zones (IZs) that progressively change efficiency during long-term expression of the BCR-ABL1 oncogene, being twice more often downregulated than upregulated. Prolonged expression of BCR-ABL1 results in targeting of new IZs and accentuation of previous efficiency changes. Targeted IZs are predominantly located in GC-poor, late replicating gene deserts and frequently silenced in late CML. Prolonged expression of BCR-ABL1 results in massive deletion of GC-poor, late replicating DNA sequences enriched in origin silencing events. We conclude that BCR-ABL1 expression progressively affects replication and stability of GC-poor, late-replicating regions during CML progression.

Project description:Duplications play a significant role in both extremes of the phenotypic spectrum of newly arising mutations: they can have severe deleterious effects (e.g. duplications underlie a variety of diseases) but can also be highly advantageous. The phenotypic potential of newly arisen duplications has stimulated wide interest in both the mutational and selective processes shaping these variants in the genome. Here we take advantage of the Drosophila simulans-Drosophila melanogaster genetic system to further our understanding of both processes. Regarding mutational processes, the study of two closely related species allows investigation of the potential existence of shared duplication hotspots, and the similarities and differences between the two genomes can be used to dissect its underlying causes. Regarding selection, the difference in the effective population size between the two species can be leveraged to ask questions about the strength of selection acting on different classes of duplications. In this study, we conducted a survey of duplication polymorphisms in 14 different lines of D. simulans using tiling microarrays and combined it with an analogous survey for the D. melanogaster genome. By integrating the two datasets, we identified duplication hotspots conserved between the two species. However, unlike the duplication hotspots identified in mammalian genomes, Drosophila duplication hotspots are not associated with sequences of high sequence identity capable of mediating non-allelic homologous recombination. Instead, Drosophila duplication hotspots are associated with late-replicating regions of the genome, suggesting a link between DNA replication and duplication rates. We also found evidence supporting a higher effectiveness of selection on duplications in D. simulans than in D. melanogaster. This is also true for duplications segregating at high frequency, where we find evidence in D. simulans that a sizeable fraction of these mutations is being driven to fixation by positive selection.
