Project description:Mutations in TRP53, prevalent in human cancers, reportedly drive tumorigenesis through dominant-negative-effects (DNE) over wt TRP53 and neomorphic gain-of-function (GOF) effects. We show that five TRP53 mutants do not accelerate lymphomagenesis on a TRP53-deficient background but strongly synergize with c-MYC over-expression. RNA-seq analysis revealed that mutant TRP53 does not globally repress wt TRP53 function but exerts a DNE with disproportionate impact on subsets of wt TRP53 target genes, particularly those involved in DNA repair, proliferation and metabolism. This reveals that the mutant TRP53 DNE drives tumorigenesis by modulating wt TRP53 function in a manner that is advantageous for neoplastic transformation.

Project description:Opioid use disorder (OUD) is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. While recent research suggests epigenetic disturbances in OUD, this is mostly limited to DNA methylation (5mC). DNA hydroxymethylation (5hmC) has been widely understudied. We conducted a multi-omics profiling of OUD in a male cohort, integrating neuronal-specific 5mC and 5hmC as well as gene expression profiles from human postmortem orbitofrontal cortex (OUD=12; non-OUD=26). Single locus methylomic analysis and co-methylation analysis showed a higher number of OUD-associated genes and gene networks for 5hmC compared to 5mC; these were enriched for GPCR, Wnt, neurogenesis, and opioid signaling. 5hmC marks also showed a higher correlation with gene expression patterns and enriched for GWAS of psychiatric traits. Drug interaction analysis revealed interactions with opioid-related drugs, some used as OUD treatments. Our multi-omics findings suggest an important role of 5hmC and reveal loci epigenetically dysregulated in OFC neurons of individuals with OUD.

Project description:Following exposure to either high LET (linear energy transfer) or gamma radiation, the most frequently observed malignancies in both Trp53?P and Trp53+/- mice are mammary and skin tumours, and thymic lymphomas. To gain further insights into the landscape of radiation-induced tumours the overall frequency and size of insertions and deletions in expressed genes was assessed by RNA-Seq. RNA was extracted from 12 mammary tumours of a range of histologies that had been induced using 50cGy of either high- or low- LET. 5 normal mammary tissue controls were also analyzed. A further 8 thymic lymphomas induced by gamma or Fe-ion radiation exposure were also sequenced as part of this study.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:BackgroundThe key to interpreting the contribution of a disease-associated mutation in the development and progression of cancer is an understanding of the consequences of that mutation both on the function of the affected protein and on the pathways in which that protein is involved. Protein domains encapsulate function and position-specific domain based analysis of mutations have been shown to help elucidate their phenotypes.ResultsIn this paper we examine the domain biases in oncogenes and tumour suppressors, and find that their domain compositions substantially differ. Using data from over 30 different cancers from whole-exome sequencing cancer genomic projects we mapped over one million mutations to their respective Pfam domains to identify which domains are enriched in any of three different classes of mutation; missense, indels or truncations. Next, we identified the mutational hotspots within domain families by mapping small mutations to equivalent positions in multiple sequence alignments of protein domainsWe find that gain of function mutations from oncogenes and loss of function mutations from tumour suppressors are normally found in different domain families and when observed in the same domain families, hotspot mutations are located at different positions within the multiple sequence alignment of the domain.ConclusionsBy considering hotspots in tumour suppressors and oncogenes independently, we find that there are different specific positions within domain families that are particularly suited to accommodate either a loss or a gain of function mutation. The position is also dependent on the class of mutation.We find rare mutations co-located with well-known functional mutation hotspots, in members of homologous domain superfamilies, and we detect novel mutation hotspots in domain families previously unconnected with cancer. The results of this analysis can be accessed through the MOKCa database (http://strubiol.icr.ac.uk/extra/MOKCa).

Project description:Ornithine lipids (OLs) are phosphorus-free membrane lipids that are widespread among Gram-negative bacteria. Their basic structure consists of a 3-hydroxy fatty acyl group attached in amide linkage to the α-amino group of ornithine and a second fatty acyl group ester-linked to the 3-hydroxy position of the first fatty acid. It has been shown that OLs can be hydroxylated within the amide-linked fatty acyl moiety, the secondary fatty acyl moiety or within the ornithine moiety. These modifications have been related to increased stress tolerance and symbiotic proficiency in different organisms such as Rhizobium tropici or Burkholderia cenocepacia. Analysing the membrane lipid composition of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens we noticed that it forms two different OLs. In the present work we studied if OLs play a role in stress tolerance and pathogenicity in A. tumefaciens. Mutants deficient in the OLs biosynthesis genes olsB or olsE were constructed and characterized. They either completely lack OLs (ΔolsB) or only form the unmodified OL (ΔolsE). Here we present a characterization of both OL mutants under stress conditions and in a plant transformation assay using potato tuber discs. Surprisingly, the lack of agrobacterial OLs promotes earlier tumour formation on the plant host.

Project description:Purpose : In this study we observed that inactivation of the genes encoding for the chromatin associated proteins HP1 lead to a highly increased predisposition of mice to develop tumours within liver. The purpose of this analysis was to identify and characterize genes whose expression was altered early on within livers of the HP1 mutant mice that could explain the tumorigenesis phenotype observed in very old animals. Results : this analysis revealed that only few genes (129 for HP1αKO, 84 for HP1αβliverKO and 87 for HP1αγliverKO) displayed differential expression between control and mutant animals [with a threshold of 1.5 fold difference and an adjusted pvalue≤0.05]. Besides several genes putatively involved in tumorigenesis, we found a significant enrichment in genes encoding several members of the family of transcriptional repressors KRAB-ZFP and presented data arguing that this increased expression resulted from their own loss of repressive activity because of the loss of interaction between their corepressor TRIM28 and HP1. Conclusions: our study represents the first demonstration that HP1 behave as tumour suppressors within liver and provide a comprehensive analysis of the underlying molecular mechanisms suggesting that HP1 main function within liver is to allow an appropriately regulated activity of the KRAB-ZFP/TRIM28/HP1 axis essential for liver homeostasis.

Project description:We cloned a Tetrahymena thermophila gene, IFT52, encoding a homolog of the Chlamydomonas intraflagellar transport protein, IFT52. Disruption of IFT52 led to loss of cilia and incomplete cytokinesis, a phenotype indistinguishable from that of mutants lacking kinesin-II, a known ciliary assembly transporter. The cytokinesis failures seem to result from lack of cell movement rather than from direct involvement of ciliary assembly pathway components in cytokinesis. Spontaneous partial suppressors of the IFT52 null mutants occurred, which assembled cilia at high cell density and resorbed cilia at low cell density. The stimulating effect of high cell density on cilia formation is based on the creation of pericellular hypoxia. Thus, at least under certain conditions, ciliary assembly is affected by an extracellular signal and the Ift52p function may be integrated into signaling pathways that regulate ciliogenesis.

Project description:Collectin-11 (CL-11) is a recently described soluble C-type lectin, which has distinct roles in embryonic development, host defence, autoimmunity and fibrosis. Here we show that CL-11 also plays an important role in promoting melanoma growth. Colec11 deficient mice engrafted with B16 melanoma cells displayed significantly reduced tumour burden compared with WT mice. Cellular and molecular analyses showed that melanoma tumour in Colec11-/- mice had: i) lower levels of angiogenesis and tumour cell proliferation, ii) less immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment characterised by high lymphocyte to myeloid infiltrate ratio, increased infiltration of CD8+ T cells into the tumour core, high levels of anti-tumour cytokines/chemokines, reprogramming macrophages to M1 phenotype.
