Project description:Aneuploidy causes a proliferative disadvantage in all cells analyzed to date, yet this condition is associated with a disease characterized by unabated proliferative potential, cancer. The mechanisms that allow cancer cells to tolerate the adverse effects of aneuploidy are not known. To probe this question, we identified aneuploid yeast strains with high proliferative abilities and characterized their genetic alterations. We found both strain-specific genetic alterations and mutations shared between different aneuploid strains. One such mutation, a loss of function mutation in the gene encoding the deubiquitinating enzyme UBP6, improves growth rates in four different aneuploid yeast strains. Our data further suggest that deletion of UBP6 attenuates the effects of aneuploidy on cellular protein composition. Our results demonstrate the existence of aneuploidy-tolerating mutations that improve the fitness of multiple different aneuploidies and highlight the importance of ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation in suppressing the adverse effects of aneuploidy. This dataset contains both expression analysis and CGH of yeast strains bearing extra chromosomes. In all cases, the wt euploid strain grown under the same conditions was used as the reference sample. Reference nucleic acid was generally labeled with Cy3, though some were labeled with Cy5 as indicated in the associated annotations for each array. No replicate arrays are included.

Project description:Aneuploidy is a condition frequently found in tumor cells but how it affects cellular physiology is not known. We have characterized one aspect of aneuploidy, the gain of extra chromosomes. We created a collection of haploid yeast strains that each bear an extra copy of one or more of almost all of the yeast chromosomes. Their characterization revealed that aneuploid strains share a number of phenotypes, including defects in cell cycle progression, increased glucose uptake and increased sensitivity to conditions interfering with protein synthesis and protein folding. These phenotypes were observed only in strains carrying additional yeast genes indicating that they reflect the consequences of additional transcription and translation as well as the resulting imbalances in cellular protein composition. We conclude that aneuploidy causes not only a proliferative disadvantage but also a set of phenotypes that is independent of the identity of the individual extra chromosomes. Keywords: CGH, gene expression

Keywords: CGH, gene expression This series of microarrays compares yeast strains carrying extra chromosomes to wt yeast with normal chromosome content. Both DNA/CGH and gene expression comparisons were done, as noted. In some experiments, biological replicates were performed as noted. Reference wt nucleic acid was most commonly labeled with Cy3. Experiments labeled as "swap" have the wt reference nucleic acid labeled with Cy5, and ratio values for these experiments are reported as Cy3/Cy5.

Project description:<p>Aneuploidy causes system-wide disruptions in the stochiometric balances of transcripts, proteins, and metabolites, often resulting in detrimental effects for the organism. The protozoan parasite Leishmania has an unusually high tolerance for aneuploidy, but the molecular and functional consequences for the pathogen remain poorly understood. Here, we addressed this question in vitro and present the first integrated analysis of the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome of highly aneuploid Leishmania donovani strains. Our analyses unambiguously establish that aneuploidy in Leishmania proportionally impacts the average transcript- and protein abundance levels of affected chromosomes, ultimately correlating with the degree of metabolic differences between strains. This proportionality was present in both proliferative and non-proliferative in vitro promastigotes. However, protein complex subunits and non-cytoplasmic proteins, showed dosage compensation, responding less or even not at all to aneuploidy-induced dosage changes. In contrast to other Eukaryotes, we did not observe the widespread regulation at the transcript level that typically modulates some of the negative effects of aneuploidy. Further, the majority of differentially expressed proteins between aneuploid strains were encoded by non-aneuploid chromosomes and were not driven by a significant underlying transcript change, suggesting that aneuploidy is accompanied by extensive post-transcriptional protein-level modulation. This makes Leishmania a unique Eukaryotic model for elucidating post-transcriptional protein-abundance modulation in the context of aneuploidy.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Data availability:</strong></p><p>Proteomic data associated with this study are available in the PRIDE repository: accession number <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD028521' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'>PXD028521</a>.</p>

Project description:Aneuploidy, or an aberrant karyotype, results in developmental disabilities and has been implicated in tumorigenesis. However, the causes of aneuploidy-induced phenotypes and the consequences of aneuploidy on cell physiology remain poorly understood. We have performed a meta-analysis on gene expression data from aneuploid cells in diverse organisms, including yeast, plants, mice, and humans. We found highly-related gene expression patterns that are conserved between species: genes that were involved in the response to stress were consistently upregulated, while genes associated with the cell cycle and cell proliferation were downregulated in aneuploid cells. Within species, different aneuploidies induced similar changes in gene expression, independent of the specific chromosomal aberrations. Taken together, our results demonstrate that aneuploidies of different chromosomes and in different organisms impact similar cellular pathways and cause a stereotypical anti-proliferative response that must be overcome prior to transformation. These experiments are two-color hybridizations of RNA isolated from aneuploid samples vs matched wt cells, all grown to midlog phase.

Project description:Aneuploidy causes severe developmental defects and is a near universal feature of tumor cells. Despite its profound effects, the cellular processes affected by aneuploidy are not well characterized. Here, we examined the consequences of aneuploidy on the proteome of aneuploid budding yeast strains. We show that although protein levels largely scale with gene copy number, subunits of multi-protein complexes are notable exceptions. Posttranslational mechanisms attenuate their expression when their encoding genes are in excess. Our proteomic analyses further revealed a novel aneuploidy-associated protein expression signature characteristic of altered metabolism and redox homeostasis. Indeed aneuploid cells harbor increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, increased protein turnover attenuates ROS levels and this novel aneuploidy-associated signature and improves the fitness of most aneuploid strains. Our results show that aneuploidy causes alterations in metabolism and redox homeostasis. Cells respond to these alterations through both transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms.

Project description:Aneuploidy, an imbalance in chromosome copy numbers, causes genetic disorders, and drives cancer progression, drug tolerance, and antimicrobial resistance. While aneuploidy can confer stress resistance, it is not well understood how cells overcome the fitness burden caused by aberrant chromosomal copy numbers. Studies using both systematically generated and natural aneuploid yeasts triggered an intense debate about the role of dosage compensation, concluding that aneuploidy is transmitted to the transcriptome and proteome without significant buffering at the chromosome-wide level, and is, at least in lab strains, associated with significant fitness costs. Conversely, systematic sequencing and phenotyping of large collections of natural isolates revealed that aneuploidy is frequent and has few, if any, fitness costs in nature. To address these discrepant findings, we developed a platform that yields highly precise proteomic measurements across large numbers of genetically diverse samples and applied it to natural isolates collected as part of the 1011 genomes project (Peter, J. et al, 2018). For 613 of the isolates, we were able to match the proteomes to their corresponding transcriptomes and genomes, subsequently quantifying the effect of aneuploidy on gene expression by comparing 95 aneuploid with 518 euploid strains. We find, as in previous studies, that aneuploid gene dosage is not buffered chromosome-wide at the transcriptome level. Importantly, in the proteome, we detect an attenuation of aneuploidy by about 25% below the aneuploid gene dosage in natural yeast isolates. Furthermore, this chromosome-wide dosage compensation is associated with the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), which is expressed at higher levels and has increased activity across natural aneuploid strains. Thus, through systematic exploration of the species-wide diversity of the yeast proteome, we shed light on a long-standing debate about the biology of aneuploids, revealing that aneuploidy tolerance is mediated through chromosome-wide dosage compensation at the proteome level.

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. The mRNAs from 3 different mouse embryo fibroblast (MEF) lines that are chromosomally stable were compared with mRNAs from 3 different MEF lines that were chromosomally unstable due to mutations in either BUBR1 or CDC20

Project description:Aneuploidy, a condition characterized by whole chromosome gains and losses, is often associated with significant cellular stress and decreased fitness. However, whether and how cells respond to the aneuploid state has remained controversial. In aneuploid budding yeast, two opposing gene expression patterns have been reported: an environmental stress response (ESR) and a “common aneuploidy gene-expression” (CAGE) signature, in which many ESR genes are oppositely regulated. Here, we investigate and bring clarity to this controversy. We show that the CAGE signature is not an aneuploidy-specific gene expression signature but is the result of euploid control cells, but not aneuploid cells, having grown into stationary phase. Because growth into stationary phase is amongst the strongest inducers of the ESR, the ESR in aneuploid cells was masked when stationary phase euploid cells were used for normalization in transcriptomic studies. When exponentially growing euploid cells are used in gene expression comparisons with aneuploid cells, the CAGE signature is no longer evident in aneuploid cells. Instead, aneuploid cells are found to exhibit the ESR. We further show that the ESR causes a selective loss of ribosomes in aneuploid cells, providing an explanation for the decreased cellular density in aneuploid cells. We conclude that aneuploid budding yeast cells mount the ESR, rather than a CAGE signature, in response to aneuploidy-induced cellular stresses that results in selective ribosome loss.
