Melanoma mutations are caused by deamination of cytosine in pyrimidine dimers

ABSTRACT: The majority of sunlight-associated melanomas carry a unique UV-related C to T mutation signature at dipyrimidine sites. UVB radiation is known to induce cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) as the major form of DNA damage, but the mechanism of how these DNA lesions lead to mutations is unknown. To map the genome-wide distribution of CPDs at single base resolution, we developed a new method, circle damage sequencing (circle-damage-seq). We found that in human cells CPDs form in a specific tetranucleotide sequence context (5’PyPy<>PyT/A), but this alone does not explain the mutation patterns. To test whether mutations arise at CPDs by cytosine deamination, we next applied a modification of circle-damage-seq and mapped UVB-induced cytosine-deaminated CPDs. We observed that the transcription start sites (TSS) are the sequences most protected from CPDs and deaminated CPDs. The strongest spike of CPDs and deaminated CPD lesions was found immediately upstream of the TSS, suggesting a mutation-promoting role of bound transcription factors. Most significantly, the genome-wide dinucleotide and trinucleotide sequence specificity of deaminated CPDs matched the prominent mutation signature found in melanomas. Our data identifies the cytosine-deaminated CPD as the leading premutagenic lesion responsible for the vast majority of mutations in sun-exposure-linked melanomas.

UVA-induced DNA damage and mutations in melanocytes and melanoma mutations

Project description:Melanomas carry characteristic mutational signatures associated with solar UVB radiation-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) that contain deaminated cytosines. However, there are several other mutation signatures, including those found in melanomas from non-sun-exposed body sites, that have unknown origins. To test if these signatures are linked to UVA radiation from the sun, we exposed human melanocytes to UVA and to UVB for comparison. We mapped DNA damage in the form of CPDs or 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) genome-wide at base resolution. We then determined mutational patterns in single melanocyte cell clones by whole genome sequencing. UVA-induced CPDs occurred overwhelmingly at TT sequences resembling melanoma signature SBS7d. We did not observe rising CPD levels after cessation of radiation (dark CPDs). However, the UVA-induced TT-CPDs did not score as mutagenic in the mutation analysis. 8-oxoG was present in melanocytes but was not substantially increased after UVA. G/C to T/A mutations were prominent in melanocyte single cell clones with no major shift after UVA radiation. These mutations matched SBS18, a signature present in melanomas. Our data suggest that melanocytes carry an endogenous but UVA-independent load of oxidative base lesions and their associated mutations that may be associated with a subset of melanoma mutations.

Characterization of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer-dependent modulation of gene expression in human keratinocytes following UVB exposure

Project description:To address CPD-dependent UVB activities, a model system was established in which transfection of keratinocytes with pseudouridine-modified mRNA (M-NM-(-mRNA) encoding CPD-photolyase resulted in 90% reduction of CPDs within 6 and 24 hours after UVB exposure. Microarray analysis of this model system demonstrated that more than 50 % of the gene expression altered by UVB were changed in a CPD-dependent manner. The expression of most of the CPD-dependent genes was changed at 6 h after UVB as compared to 24 h likely due to the higher CPD levels. Nine genes (ATF3, CCNE1, CDKN2B, EGR1, ID2, PTGS2, RUNX1, SNAI1, SNAI2) regulated by CPDs were selected for further investigation (qPCR, Western blot) based on the microarray data. Gene expression modulated by UVB irradiation in HaCaT keratinocytes was measured at 6 and 24 hours after the exposure to dose of 20 mJ/cm2 UVB. Three independent experiments were performed at each time (6 or 24 hours) using different passages for each experiment.

Analysis of UV-induced DNA damage in human cells using CPD-seq 2.0

Project description:Noncoding mutation hotspots have been identified in melanoma and many of them occur at the binding sites of E26 transformation-specific (ETS) proteins; however, their formation mechanism and functional impacts are not fully understood. Here, we used UV damage sequencing data and analyzed cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) formation, DNA repair, and CPD deamination in human cells at single-nucleotide resolution. Our data shows prominent CPD hotspots immediately after UV irradiation at ETS binding sites, particularly at sites with a conserved TTCCGG motif, which correlate with mutation hotspots identified in cutaneous melanoma. Additionally, CPDs are repaired slower at ETS binding sites than in flanking DNA. Cytosine deamination in CPDs to uracil is suggested as an important step for UV mutagenesis. However, we found that CPD deamination is significantly suppressed at ETS binding sites, particularly for the CPD hotspot on the 5’ side of the ETS motif, arguing against a role for CPD deamination in promoting ETS-associated UV mutations. Finally, we analyzed a subset of frequently mutated promoters, including the ribosomal protein genes RPL13A and RPS20, and found that mutations in the ETS motif can significantly reduce the promoter activity. Thus, our data identifies high UV damage and low repair, but not CPD deamination, as the main mechanism for ETS-associated mutations in melanoma and uncover new roles of often-overlooked mutation hotspots in perturbing gene transcription.

Genomic Sites Ultrasensitive to Ultraviolet Radiation

Project description:If the genome contains outlier sequences extraordinarily sensitive to environmental agents, these would be sentinels for monitoring personal carcinogen exposure and might drive direct changes in cell physiology rather than acting through rare mutations. New methods, adductSeq and freqSeq, provided statistical resolution to quantify rare lesions at single-base resolution across the genome. Primary human melanocytes, but not fibroblasts, carried spontaneous apurinic sites and TG sequence lesions more frequently than UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). UV exposure revealed hyperhotspots acquiring CPDs up to 170 fold more frequently than the genomic average; these sites were more prevalent in melanocytes. Hyperhotspots were disproportionately located near genes, particularly for RNA-binding proteins, with the most-recurrent hyperhotspots at a fixed position within two motifs: one occurring at ETS1 transcription factor binding sites, known to be UV targets, and at sites of mTOR/TOP-tract translation regulation; the second occurring at A2-15TTCTY, which developed "dark CPDs" after UV exposure, repaired CPDs slowly, and had accumulated CPDs prior to the experiment. Motif locations active as hyperhotspots differed between cell types. Melanocyte CPD hyperhotspots aligned precisely with recurrent UV signature mutations in individual gene promoters of melanomas and with known cancer drivers. At sunburn levels of UV exposure, every cell would have a hyperhotspot CPD in each of the ~20 targeted cell pathways, making hyperhotspots act as epigenetic marks. Purpose: These experiments searched for genomic sites in human primary fibroblasts and melanocytes that are extraordinarily sensitive to DNA damage, primarily cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) induced by UVC or UVB radiation. They separately detected abasic sites and other spontaneous DNA damage when present.

Differentially expressed genes induced by UVB stimulation between the P2ry6+/+ and P2ry6-/- mice

Project description:Considering that human skin cancer is predominantly attributed to UV radiation from sunlight, additional investigations are needed to elucidate the role of P2RY6 in UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis. Surprisingly, we find that P2ry6 deletion exhibits marked promotion to UVB-induced skin papilloma formation compared with wild-type mice, suggesting its tumor-suppressive role in UVB-induced skin cancer. Additionally, P2ry6 knockout promotes mouse skin hyperplasia induced by short-term UVB irradiation, while UDP, the ligand of P2RY6, can inhibit UVB-induced skin damage. Furthermore, UVB irradiation can significantly upregulate P2RY6 expression in mouse and human skin cells. These results indicate that P2RY6 plays a crucial protective role in resisting UVB-induced skin damage and carcinogenesis. At the molecular level, P2RY6 deletion inhibits ubiquitination and expression of XPC after UVB irradiation in keratinocytes, resulting in the accumulation of CPDs (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers). P2RY6 deletion also activates PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo. The CPD accumulation and inflammatory responses enhanced by P2RY6 deletion are reversed by an AKT inhibitor. These findings suggest that P2RY6 acts as a tumor suppressor in UVB-induced skin cancer by regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

CPD-seq map of UV damage formation in human fibroblasts

Project description: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.

CPD-seq mapping of UV damage formation and repair in yeast

Project description:UV-induced DNA lesions are an important contributor to mutagenesis and cancer, but it is not fully understood how the chromosomal landscape influences UV lesion formation and repair. We have used a novel high-throughput sequencing method to precisely map UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) at nucleotide resolution throughout the yeast genome. Analysis of CPD formation reveals that nucleosomal DNA having an inward rotational setting is protected from CPD lesions. In strongly positioned nucleosomes, this nucleosome 'photofootprint' overrides intrinsic dipyrimidine sequence preferences for CPD formation. CPD formation is also inhibited by DNA-bound transcription factors, in effect protecting important DNA elements from UV damage. Analysis of CPD repair revealed a clear signature of efficient transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair. Repair was less efficient at translational positions near a nucleosome dyad and at heterochromatic regions in the yeast genome. These findings define the roles of nucleosomes and transcription factors in UV damage formation and repair. UV mapping data was analyzed for yeast cells irradiated with 125J/m2 and allowed to repair for 0hr (2 samples), 20 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. Data is also included for naked DNA irradiated with UV 60 or 90 J/m2

Modulation of UV damage formation and repair in nucleosomes in distinct chromatin states in Drosophila

Project description:Here, we describe a new genome-wide map of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in Drosophila S2 cells and a naked DNA control using CPD-seq. We used this data to analyze CPD formation in nucleosomes and different chromatin states across the Drosophila genome. We analyzed CPD formation alongside existing excision repair-sequencing (XR-seq) data to compare CPD damage and repair rates in five distinct chromatin types in Drosophila. This analysis revealed that CPD repair varied in different chromatin domains, while CPD formation was largely unaffected. Moreover, we observed distinct patterns of repair activity in nucleosomes in different chromatin types.
