Project description:The chromatins are folded into three-dimensional (3D) structures inside cells, which coordinates the regulation of gene transcription by the non-coding regulatory elements. Aberrant chromatin 3D folding has been shown in many diseases, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and may contribute to tumorigenesis. The anthracycline topoisomerase II inhibitors can induce histone eviction and DNA damage. We performed genome-wide high-resolution mapping of the chemotherapeutic effects of various clinically used anthracycline drugs. ATAC-seq was used to profile the histone eviction effects of different anthracyclines. TOP2A ChIP-seq was used to profile the potential DNA damage regions. Integrated analyses show that different anthracyclines have distinct target selectivity on epigenomic regions, based on their respective ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq profiles. We identified the underlying molecular mechanism that unique anthracycline variants selectively target chromatin looping anchors via disrupting CTCF binding, suggesting an additional potential therapeutic effect on the 3D genome. We further performed Hi-C experiments, and data from K562 cells treated with the selective anthracycline drugs indicate that the 3D chromatin organization is disrupted. Furthermore, AML patients receiving anthracycline drugs showed altered chromatin structures around potential looping anchors of, which linked to distinct clinical outcomes. Our data indicate that anthracyclines are potent and selective epigenomic targeting drugs and can target the 3D genome for anticancer therapy, which could be used for personalized medicine to treat tumors with aberrant 3D chromatin structures

Project description:A major class of chemotherapeutics targets topoisomerase II for DNA double-strand breaks and cancer cell elimination. We compare four members of this class?the anthracyclines doxorubicin, daunorubicin and aclarubicin that does not induce DNA breaks?and a different compound, etoposide. We define a novel activity for anthracyclines: histone eviction from open chromosomal areas. Since histone variant H2AX is also evicted, DNA damage response is attenuated when compared to etoposide. Histone eviction also affects the epigenetic code and deregulates the transcriptome in cancer cells and organs such as the heart. Histone eviction by anthracyclines can drive apoptosis of topoisomerase-negative acute myeloid leukemia blasts in patients. Doxo- and daunorubicin combine the activities of two anti-cancer drugs: etoposide for DNA damage and aclarubicin for histone eviction. We define a novel mechanism of action of anti-cancer drugs doxo- and daunorubicin on chromatin biology with profound consequences on DNA damage responses, epigenetics, transcription, side effects and anti-cancer activities. Comparison of histone occupancy of cells or tissues treated with topoisomerase II inhibitors to un-treated ones by FAIRE-seq.

We identified that unique anthracycline variants selectively target chromatin looping anchors via disrupting CTCF binding, suggesting an additional potential therapeutic effect on the 3D genome. We further performed Hi-C experiments, and data from K562 cells treated with the selective anthracycline drugs indicate that the global 3D chromatin organizations were disrupted dramatically, as exemplified by the disruption of distal regulation of the Myc gene. Furthermore, AML patients receiving anthracycline drugs showed altered chromatin structures around potential looping anchors, which linked to distinct clinical outcomes. Our data indicate that anthracyclines are potent and selective epigenomic targeting drugs and can further target the 3D genome for anticancer effects, which could be explored for personalized medicine to treat tumors with aberrant 3D chromatin structures.

Project description:PURPOSE: Validated biomarkers predictive of response/resistance to anthracyclines in breast cancer are currently lacking. The neoadjuvant TOP trial, in which patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-negative tumors were treated with anthracycline (epirubicin) monotherapy, was specifically designed to evaluate the predictive value of topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) and to develop a gene expression signature to identify those patients who do not benefit from anthracyclines. METHODS: The TOP trial included 149 patients, of which 141 were evaluable for response prediction analyses. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR). TOP2A and gene expression profiles were evaluated using pre-epirubicin biopsies. Gene expression data from ER-negative samples of the EORTC 10994/BIG 00-01 and MDACC 2003-0321 neoadjuvant trials were used for validation purposes. RESULTS: A pCR was obtained in 14% of the evaluable TOP patients. TOP2A amplification, but not protein overexpression, was significantly associated with pCR (p=0.001 and 0.22). We developed an “anthracycline-based score (A-Score)” that combines three signatures: a TOP2A gene signature and two previously published signatures related to tumor invasion and immune response. The A-Score was characterized by a high negative predictive value (NPV=0.98 [95% CI: 0.90-1.00]) overall, and in the HER2-negative and HER2-positive subpopulations. Its performance was independently confirmed in the anthracycline-based (FAC/FEC) arms of the two validation trials (BIG 00-01: 0.80 [0.61-0.92] and MDACC 2003-0321: 1.00 [0.80-1.00]). CONCLUSION: Given its high NPV, the A-Score could become, if further validated, a useful clinical tool to identify those patients who do not benefit from anthracyclines and could therefore be spared the non-negligible side effects. Predicting the efficacy of anthracyclines (epirubicin) in breast cancer (BC) patients (TOP trial) 120 microarray experiments from primary ER-negative breast tumors of anthracycline-treated patients. No replicate, no reference sample.

Project description:The experiment was performed to assess the importance of nucleosome eviction for the binding of condensin to chromatin during mitosis. The condensin complex associates with chromatin during mitosis to ensure chromosome condensation and accurate segregation, but how this binding is achieved remains poorly understood. Our study indicates that transcription co-activators Gcn5 and Mst2 assist condensin binding during mitosis by evicting nucleosomes. To reach this conclusion, we mapped nucleosomes, during mitosis, in wild-type and gcn5mst2 mutant strains. This experiment allowed us (1) to identify nucleosome-depleted regions (ndrs) during mitosis and to show that condensin tends to colocalize with ndr at the 3ends of genes, and (2) to confirm the importance of nucleosome eviction from ndrs by gcn5 and mst2, during mitosis, for the binding of condensin to chromatin.this experiment determines the patterns of nucleosomes in wild type and mutant fission yeast cells arrested in early mitosis. We analysed wild-type cells, cells lacking Gcn5 histone acetylatransferase (gcn5D) and cells lacking both Gcn5 and Mst2 histone acetyltransferases (Gcn5Dmst2D). All cells used in this study expressed a GFP-tagged version of condensin (Cnd2-GFP) and were blocked in early mitosis at 19C by the nda3-KM311 mutation. Mitotic indexes were determined by scoring the accumulation of Cnd2-GFP in the nucleus. Mitotic cells were collected and chromatin was digested by increasing amount of MNase to produce mononucleosomes. Mononucleosomal DNA was purified on an agarose gel and sequence on an Illumina Nextseq 500 apparatus. Three replicates of wild type, gcn5D and gcn5Dmst2D were analysed. Nucleosome patterns were determined in wild-type cells, cells lacking Gcn5 and cells lacking both Gcn5 and Mst2.

Project description:Daunorubicin and doxorubicin, two anthracycline polyketides produced by Streptomyces peucetius, are potent anticancer agents that are widely used in chemotherapy, despite severe side effects. Recent advances have highlighted the potential of producing improved derivatives with reduced side effects by incorporating L-rhodosamine, the N,N-dimethyl analogue of the native amino sugar moiety. In this study, we aimed to produce N,N-dimethylated anthracyclines by engineering the doxorubicin biosynthetic pathway in the industrial S. peucetius strain GOO1. To achieve this, we introduced genes from the aclarubicin biosynthetic pathway encoding the sugar N-methyltransferases AclP and AknX2. Furthermore, the native gene for glycosyltransferase DnrS was replaced with genes encoding the aclarubicin glycosyltransferases AknS and AknT. Additionally, the gene for methylesterase RdmC from the rhodomycin biosynthetic pathway was introduced. A new host was engineered successfully, whereby genes from the aclarubicin pathway were introduced and expressed. LC-MS/MS analysis of the engineered strains showed that dimethylated sugars were efficiently produced, and that these were incorporated ino the anthracycline biosynthetic pathway to produce the novel dimethylated anthracycline N,N-dimethyldaunorubicin. Further downstream tailoring steps catalysed by the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase DoxA exhibited limited efficacy with N,N-dimethylated substrates. This resulted in only low production levels of N,N-dimethyldaunorubicin and no N,N-dimethyldoxorubicin, most likely due to the low affinity of DoxA for dimethylated substrates. S. peucetius GOO1 was engineered such as to produce N,N-dimethylated sugars, which were incorporated into the biosynthetic pathway. This allowed the successful production of N,N-dimethyldaunorubicin, an anticancer drug with reduced cytotoxicity. DoxA is the key enzyme that determines the efficiency of the biosynthesis of N,N-dimethylated anthracyclines, and engineering of this enzyme will be a major step forwards towards the efficient production of more N,N-dimethylated anthracyclines, including N,N-dimethyldoxorubicin. This study provides valuable insights into the biosynthesis of clinically relevant daunorubicin derivatives, highlighting the importance of combinatorial biosynthesis.
