Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in MAD1 result in systemic inflammation, clonal selection of aneuploid cells and high tumor susceptibility

ABSTRACT: Aneuploidy is a frequent feature of tumor cells. Yet, germline mutations leading to chromosomal instability are less frequent and are typically found in patients with mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA). We describe here novel germline biallelic loss-of-function mutations in MAD1L1, a gene that encodes the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) protein MAD1, in a 36-year-old female with microcephaly and developmental delay. The patient developed a constelation of benign and malignant neoplasias derived from the three embryonic layers, some of them such as pilomatrixoma, bone tumors enchondromas and multinodular goiter rarely described in MVA. Cytogenetic and single-cell DNA analysis of peripheral blood cells detected ~35% of aneuploid cells with a variety of random gains of chromosomes. Functional studies demonstrated deficient SAC responses in the absence of MAD1 in mutant lymphocytes. Transcriptomic studies of peripheral blood cells at the single cell level suggested inhibition of protein synthesis, and increased antigen presentation and cytokine signaling in aneuploid T-cells. These pathways were also deregulated in euploid cells from the patient suggesting an immflamation-like, systemic response to chromosomal instability. In addition, single cell RNA-seq analysis detected clonal expansions affecting chromosomes 12 and 18 in specific B-cell and T-cell populations without evidence of hematopoietic neoplasias. These data point to MAD1L1 as a new gene mutated in MVA, and suggest that clonal expansion of minor aneuploid cell populations can be detected in pro-tumoral stages using single-cell technologies.

Bilallelic germline mutations in MAD1L1 induce a novel syndrome of aneuploidy with high tumor susceptibility

Project description:Aneuploidy is a frequent feature of human tumors. Germline mutations leading to aneuploidy are very rare in humans, and their tumor-promoting properties are mostly unknown at the molecular level. We report here novel germline biallelic mutations in MAD1L1, the gene encoding the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) protein MAD1, in a 36-year-old female with a dozen of neoplasias, including five malignant tumors. Functional studies in peripheral blood cells demonstrated lack of full-length protein and deficient SAC response, resulting in ~30-40% of aneuploid cells as detected by cytogenetic and single-cell (sc) DNA analysis. scRNA-seq analysis of proband blood cells identified mitochondrial stress accompanied by systemic inflammation with enhanced interferon and NFkB signaling. The inference of chromosomal aberrations from scRNA-seq analysis detected inflammatory signals both in aneuploid and euploid cells, suggesting a non-cell autonomous response to aneuploidy. In addition to random aneuploidies, MAD1L1 mutations resulted in specific clonal expansions of T-cells with chromosome 18 gains and enhanced cytotoxic profile, as well as intermediate B-cells with chromosome 12 gains and transcriptomic signatures characteristic of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. These data point to MAD1L1 mutations as the cause of a new variant of mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome (MVA) with systemic inflammation and unprecedented tumor susceptibility.

Transcriptomes of aneuploid mouse liver tumors and T-ALL

Project description:Transcriptome analysis to map transcriptomes of Mad2 p53null-driven aneuploid liver cancers and T-ALLs, to determine correlation between copy number changes and expression changes and to map the transcriptional response to CIN Chromosome instability (CIN) leads to aneuploidy and copy number variations (CNVs). Even though both are hallmarks of cancer cells, aneuploidy inhibits proliferation of untransformed cells, suggesting that cancer cells have adapted to cope with CIN. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) prevents CIN by monitoring chromosome attachment and sister chromatid tension in mitosis. By conditionally inactivating Mad2, an essential SAC gene, we find that SAC inactivation in T-cells or hepatocytes is remarkably well tolerated and becomes tumorigenic when placed in a p53null or p53+/- predisposed background. The resulting T-ALLs and HCCs are highly aneuploid, exhibit clonal copy number changes that are tumor specific despite ongoing CIN, indicating that CIN is a powerful driver of tumor evolution.

Reduction of chromosomal instability and inflammation is a common aspect of adaptation to aneuploidy

Project description:Aneuploidy, while detrimental to untransformed cells, is notably prevalent in cancer. Aneuploidy is found as an early event during tumorigenesis which indicates that cancer cells have the ability to surmount the initial stress responses associated with aneuploidy, enabling rapid proliferation despite aberrant karyotypes. To generate more insight into key cellular processes and requirements underlying adaptation to aneuploidy, we generated a panel of aneuploid clones in p53-deficient RPE-1 cells and studied their behavior over time. As expected, de novo generated aneuploid clones initially displayed reduced fitness, enhanced levels of chromosomal instability and an upregulated inflammatory response. Intriguingly, after a prolonged period of culturing, aneuploid clones exhibited increased proliferation rates while maintaining aberrant karyotypes, indicative of an adaptive response to the aneuploid state. Interestingly, all adapted clones displayed reduced chromosomal instability (CIN) and reduced inflammatory signaling, suggesting that these are common aspects of adaptation to aneuploidy. Collectively, our data suggests that CIN and concomitant inflammation are key processes that require correction to allow for fast proliferation in vitro. Finally, we provide evidence that amplification of oncogenic KRAS can promote adaptation.

Chromosome 20 Aberrations at the Diploid-Aneuploid Transition in Sporadic Colorectal Cancer

Project description:DNA aneuploid sublines in sporadic colorectal cancers (CRCs) are quite frequent (about 85%) and likely the consequence of chromosomal instability and DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs). In order to gain insight into the mechanisms of the diploid-aneuploid transition in CRCs, we compared the CNA status in both diploid and aneuploid sublines. We used fresh/frozen material from 17 aneuploid CRCs, which was separated into 17 DNA diploid and 17 aneuploid sublines using enrichment of the epithelial component by multiparameter flow cytometry and sorting. CNA status of both sublines was obtained by array comparative genomic hybridization. The DNA diploid sublines from the aneuploid CRCs showed already CNAs, in particular, gains at 20p and 20q. The same aberrations were detected at increased frequencies in the corresponding DNA aneuploid sublines. Moreover, the very frequent gains/losses of chromosomes 4, 7, 8, 13, 15, and 18 in the DNA aneuploid sublines were absent or rare in the DNA diploid sublines from the same sporadic aneuploid CRCs. The comparison of the DNA diploid and aneuploid sublines from aneuploid CRCs suggests that 20p and 20q gains may play a role in the diploid-aneuploid transition. The 20q chromosomal arm appears of particular interest since it harbors several genes implicated in chromosomal instability.

A transcriptional and metabolic signature of primary aneuploidy is present in chromosomally-unstable cancer cells and informs clinical prognosis

Project description:In all primary cells analyzed to date, aneuploidy is associated with poor proliferation. Yet, how abnormal karyotypes affect cancer – a disease characterized by both aneuploidy and heightened proliferative capacity – is largely unknown. Here, I demonstrate that the transcriptional alterations caused by aneuploidy in primary cells are also present in chromosomally-unstable cancer cell lines, but are not common to all aneuploid cancers. Moreover, chromosomally-unstable cancer lines display increased glycolytic and TCA-cycle flux, as is also observed in primary aneuploid cells. The biological response to aneuploidy is associated with cellular stress and slow proliferation, and a 70-gene signature derived from primary aneuploid cells is a strong predictor of increased survival in several cancers. Inversely, a transcriptional signature derived from clonal aneuploidy in tumors correlates with high mitotic activity and poor prognosis. I speculate that there are two types of aneuploidy in cancer: clonal aneuploidy, which is selected during tumor evolution and is associated with robust growth, and sub-clonal aneuploidy, which is caused by chromosomal instability (CIN) and more closely resembles the stressed state of primary aneuploid cells. Nonetheless, CIN is not benign: a subset of genes upregulated in high-CIN cancers predict aggressive disease in human patients in a proliferation-independent manner.

CGH analysis of mouse embryonic stem cells trisomic for chromosome 6, 8, 11,12 and 15

Project description:Aneuploidy, an uneven number of chromosomes, leads to severe developmental defects in mammals and is also a hallmark of cancer. However, whether aneuploidy is a driving cause or a consequence of tumor formation remains controversial. Paradoxically, existing studies based on aneuploid yeast and mouse fibroblasts have shown that aneuploidy is usually detrimental to cellular fitness. Here, we examined the effects of aneuploidy on mouse embryonic stem cells. Using a novel genetic scheme, we generated a series of aneuploid cell lines that each carries an extra copy of single chromosomes and then characterized the traits shared by these cell lines. All the aneuploid cell lines had rapid proliferation rates and enhanced colony formation efficiencies. They were less dependent on growth factors for self-renewal and showed a reduced capacity to differentiate in vitro. Moreover, xenografted aneuploid stem cells formed teratomas more efficiently, with features of neoplastic progression. These findings demonstrate that aneuploidy enhances the self-renewal capacities of stem cells and reduces their differentiation abilities.
