CPD-seq map of UV damage formation in human fibroblasts


ABSTRACT: UV light is an initiating factor in the etiology of human melanoma due to its production of mutagenic DNA photoproducts, primarily cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts. UV-induced mutations are heterogeneously distributed across melanoma genomes, being enriched, for example, in regions of compact heterochromatin and at active transcription factor binding sites (TFBS). Differential ability of nucleotide excision repair (NER) to remove UV-induced DNA lesions in these regions has been proposed as the primary factor establishing the observed regional differences in melanoma mutation density. However, it is not fully understood to what extent the binding of transcription factors and chromatin structure affect UV damage formation, nor how variations in initial damage levels contribute to mutagenesis. Here, we directly mapped sites of CPD formation across the genome in human cells, and show that variations in UV damage formation, due to primary chromatin structure and transcription factor binding, are strongly correlated with local differences in melanoma mutation density. Analysis of individual transcription factors revealed that the E26 transformation-specific (ETS) family is the major contributor to increased somatic mutation density at TFBS in melanoma, primarily because DNA binding by ETS family transcription factors stimulates the formation of CPD lesions, generating UV damage 'hotspots'. Moreover, many ETS binding sites, including those associated with known cancer genes, are recurrently mutated in human melanomas. These findings establish variable lesion formation as a key contributor to mutation heterogeneity in cancer.
