Identification and Characterization of Extrachromosomal Circular DNA in Plasma of Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chromosome is the basic framework for eukaryotic cells to store genetic information, but certain genes exist in circulation, such as extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA). The unique genetic characteristics and structure of eccDNA provide a new vision on the early diagnosis of cancer; however, whether eccDNA contributes to the early diagnosis and progression of lung cancer remains unclear.

Methods

We performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of eccDNA from the plasma of 6 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. The data of plasma eccDNA of healthy people were obtained from public available database. We compared size distribution, chromosome origin, formation and expression patterns of eccDNA between LUAD patients and those of 6 healthy people and 4 healthy gravidas.

Results

A total number of 716,059 eccDNA ranging from 22 bp to 3,297,519 bp were detected with an average size less than 800bp and distinctive bimodality in size around 191 bp and 320 bp. After comparison of eccDNA abundance in each sequencing sample, nine eccDNA were ranked on top with higher frequency in lung adenocarcinoma patients than healthy people. Among them, four eccDNA (DOCK1, PPIC, TBC1D16, and RP11-370A5.1) were uniquely expressed in lung adenocarcinoma patients, which may serve as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis LUAD.

Conclusion

Cancer-specific eccDNA was presented in LUAD compared to normal people, which might serve as a promising biomarker in LUAD.

Project description:Many studies have confirmed that extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs/ecDNAs) exist in tumor and normal cells independently of the chromosome and are essential for oncogene plasticity and drug resistance. Studies have confirmed that there are many eccDNAs/ecDNAs in maternal plasma derived from the fetus. Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a pregnancy-related disease associated with high newborn morbidity and mortality. However, the characteristics and nature of eccDNAs/ecDNAs in FGR are poorly understood. This study aims to deconstruct the properties and potential functions of eccDNAs/ecDNAs in FGR. We performed circle-seq to identify the expression profile of eccDNAs/ecDNAs, analyzed by bioinformatics, and verified by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) combined with southern blot in FGR compared with the normal groups. A total of 45,131 eccDNAs/ecDNAs (including 2,118 unique ones) were identified, which had significantly higher abundance in FRG group than in normal group, and was bimodal in length, peaking at ~146bp and ~340bp, respectively. Gestational age may be one independent factor affecting the production of eccDNAs/ecDNAs, most of which come from genomic regions with high gene density, with a 4~12bp repeat around the junction, and their origin had a certain genetic preference. In addition, some of the host-genes overlapped with non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) partially or even completely. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis revealed that host-genes on the differentially expressed eccDNAs/ecDNAs (DEEECs/DEECs) were mainly enriched in immune-related functions and pathways. The presence of some ecDNAs were verified, and whose variability were consistent with the circle-seq results. We identified and characterized eccDNAs/ecDNAs in placentas with FGR, and elucidated the formation mechanisms and the networks with ncRNAs, which provide a new vision for the screening of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for FGR.

Project description:Wei pig (WP) and Large White pig (LP) are fatty and lean breeds, respectively. Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) plays an important role in regulating signaling pathway processes of cell. However, there are few reports regarding the eccDNA and ecDNA profiles in WP and LP. The present work aimed to investigate the eccDNA and ecDNA profiles between WP and LP. Three WPs and three LPs (100 ± 1.3 kg) were selected for analysis of eccDNA and ecDNA in the ear samples. Results showed that there were 39,686,953,656-58,411,217,258 and 53,824,168,657-58,311,810,737 clean data for WP and LP, respectively. Sequencing yielded 15,587-25,479 and 71,123-79,605 eccDNAs from the ear samples of WP and LP, respectively. There were 15,111 and 22,594 eccDNA-derived genes in the WP and LP, respectively, and 13,807 eccDNA-derived genes were common in the ear samples of both pigs. Sequencing yielded 13-19 and 27-43 ecDNAs in the ears of WP and LP, respectively. There were 1,005 and 1,777 ecDNA-derived genes in WP and LP, respectively, and 351 ecDNA-derived genes were common in the ear samples of both pigs. The most significant KEGG pathways of eccDNA-derived genes were axon guidance, focal adhesion, metabolic pathways, MAPK signaling pathway, Hedgehog signaling pathway, microRNAs in cancer, tight junction, phospholipase D signaling pathway, endocytosis, and sphingolipid signaling pathway. Furthermore, the most significant KEGG pathways of ecDNA-derived genes were olfactory transduction, B cell receptor signaling pathway, and chemical carcinogenesis. The eccDNA00044301 was lower abundance, while the ecDNA00000060 was higher abundance in WP compared with that in LP. Summary, we found that eccDNAs and ecDNAs are common in WP and LP and occur in sizes large enough to carry one or several partial or complete genes. These findings have expanded the knowledge repertoire of circular DNA in pig and will provide a reference for the use of pigs as a medical model and help discovery of new genetic markers to select high-quality breeds.
