Mouse genome rewriting and tailoring of three important disease loci [DNA]

ABSTRACT: Genetically Engineered Mouse Models (GEMMs) aid in understanding human pathologies and developing new therapeutics, yet recapitulating human diseases authentically in mice is challenging to design and execute. Advances in genomics have highlighted the importance of non-coding regulatory genome sequences controlling spatiotemporal gene expression patterns and splicing to human diseases. It is thus apparent that including regulatory genomic regions during the engineering of GEMMs is highly preferable for disease modeling, with the prerequisite of large-scale genome engineering ability. Existing genome engineering methods have limits on the size and efficiency of DNA delivery, hampering routine creation of highly informative GEMMs. Here, we describe mSwAP-In (mammalian Switching Antibiotic resistance markers Progressively for Integration), a method for efficient genome rewriting in mouse embryonic stem cells. We first demonstrated the use of mSwAP-In for iterative genome rewriting of up to 115 kb of the Trp53 locus, as well as for genomic humanization of up to 180 kb ACE2 locus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, we showed the hACE2 GEMM authentically recapitulated human ACE2 expression patterns and splicing, and importantly, presented milder symptoms without mortality when challenged with SARS-CoV-2 compared to the K18-ACE2 model, thus representing a more authentic model of infection. Lastly, we demonstrated serial genome writing by humanizing mouse Tmprss2 in a biallelic fashion, highlighting the versatility of mSwAP-In in mouse genome writing.

GEMM CRC collection analysis

Project description:A collection of genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM) of colorectal cancer (CRC) were created, and primary tumors from these GEMMs were analyzed. Primary CRC tumors from these GEMMs were genotyped to confirm that they contain the core genetic lesions of interest, including APC, P53, KRAS, and BRAF. Primary tumors from GEMMs with combinations of lesions of interest were analyzed by whole genome expression, and their expression profiles were compared to determine how they segregate. Signatures were then generated from GEMM tumors of interest and compared to human clinical datasets with expression and outcome data. Primary tumors from CRC GEMMs with different combinations of mutant alleles of interested were generated and analyzed. Alleles include mutant forms of APC (A), P53 (P), KRAS (K) and BRAF (B).

Fundamental differences in promoter CpG island DNA hypermethylation between human cancer and genetically engineered mouse models of cancer [Methylation profiling by array]

Project description:Genetic and epigenetic alterations are essential for the initiation and progression of human cancer. We previously reported that primary human medulloblastomas showed extensive cancer-specific CpG island DNA hypermethylation in critical developmental pathways. To determine whether genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) of medulloblastoma have comparable epigenetic changes, we assessed genome-wide DNA methylation in three mouse models of medulloblastoma. In contrast to human samples, very few loci with cancer-specific DNA hypermethylation were detected, and in almost all cases the degree of methylation was relatively modest compared to the dense hypermethylation in the human cancers. To determine if this finding was common to other GEMMs, we examined a Burkitt lymphoma and breast cancer model and did not detect promoter CpG island DNA hypermethylation, suggesting that human cancers and at least some GEMMs are fundamentally different with respect to this epigenetic modification. These findings provide an opportunity to both better understand the mechanism of aberrant DNA methylation in human cancer and construct better GEMMs to serve as preclinical platforms for therapy development. Genome-wide DNA methylation profiles generated using the Denaturation Analysis of Methylation Differences (DAMD) assay of cancer versus normal samples.

DNASeq of different Mycoplasma pneumoniae isolated clones presenting a genomic deletion produced by a multi-recombinase engineering protocol

Project description:We developed a multi recombinase engineering rationale, that combines oligonucleotide recombineering with the selective capacity of antibiotic resistance via transient insertion of selector plasmids. We tested this method in Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a bacterium with a very inefficient native recombination machinery. A wide variety of targeted genome modifications were carried out. We did whole genome sequencing of some clones to confirm that the engineering method is not mutagenic and ensure that genome modifications only occurred at the intended loci. Specifically we sequenced clones carrying 1 kb deletion at 4 different chromosomal locations (i.e., M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ1kbmpn088::lox scar, M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ1kbmpn256::lox scar, M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ1kbmpn440::lox scar, M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ1kbmpn583::lox scar), a clone carrying a 30 kb deletion (M129-GP35-PtetCre Δ30kbNE region::pLoxPuro) and a clone carrying a 5.5 kb deletion that was complemented with the two essential genes found in this area (M129-GP35 Δ5.5kbmpn633-mpn638::mpn636-637lox scar)

The sequence of human ACE2 is suboptimal for binding the S spike protein of SARS coronavirus 2

Project description:The rapid and escalating spread of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses an immediate public health emergency, and no approved therapeutics or vaccines are currently available. The viral spike protein S binds membrane-tethered ACE2 on host cells in the lungs to initiate molecular events that ultimately release the viral genome intracellularly. The extracellular protease domain of ACE2 inhibits cell entry of both SARS and SARS-2 coronaviruses by acting as a soluble decoy for receptor binding sites on S, and is a promising candidate for therapeutic and prophylactic development. Using deep mutagenesis, variants of ACE2 are identified with increased binding to the receptor binding domain of S at a cell surface. Mutations are found across the protein-protein interface and also at buried sites where they are predicted to enhance folding and presentation of the interaction epitope. The mutational landscape offers a preliminary blueprint for engineering high affinity ACE2 receptors to meet this unprecedented challenge.

EED orchestration of heart maturation through interaction with HDACs is H3K27me3-independent

Project description:In proliferating cells, where most Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) studies have been performed, gene repression is associated with PRC2 trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3). However, it is uncertain whether PCR2 writing of H3K27me3 is mechanistically required for gene silencing. Here we studied PRC2 function in postnatal mouse cardiomyocytes, where the paucity of cell division obviates bulk H3K27me3 rewriting after each cell cycle. EED (Embryonic Ectoderm Development) inactivation in the postnatal heart (Eed CKO ) caused lethal dilated cardiomyopathy. Surprisingly, gene upregulation in Eed CKO was not coupled with loss of H3K27me3. Rather, the activating histone mark H3K27ac increased. EED interacted with histone deacetylases (HDACs) and enhanced their catalytic activity. HDAC overexpression normalized Eed CKO heart function and expression of derepressed genes. Our results uncovered a non-canonical, H3K27me3-independent EED repressive mechanism that is essential for normal heart function. Our results further illustrate that organ dysfunction due to epigenetic dysregulation can be corrected by epigenetic rewiring.
