R-loops and Topoisomerase 1 facilitate formation of transcriptional DSBs at gene bodies of hypertranscribed cancer genes

ABSTRACT: DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) pose a significant threat to genomic integrity, and their generation during essential cellular processes like transcription remains poorly understood. In this study, we employed advanced techniques to map DSBs, R-loops, and Topoisomerase 1 cleavage complex (TOP1cc) and re-analyzed ChIP-seq and DRIP-seq data to comprehensively investigate the interplay between transcription, DSBs, Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1), and R-loops. Our findings revealed the presence of DSBs at highly expressed genes enriched with TOP1 and R-loops, indicating their crucial involvement in transcription-associated genomic instability. Depletion of R-loops and TOP1 specifically reduced DSBs at highly expressed genes, uncovering their pivotal roles in transcriptional DSB formation. By elucidating the intricate interplay between TOP1cc trapping, R-loops, and DSBs, our study provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying transcription-associated genomic instability. Moreover, we establish a link between transcriptional DSBs and early molecular changes driving cancer development. Notably, our study highlights the distinct etiology and molecular characteristics of driver mutations compared to passenger mutations, shedding light on the potential for targeted therapeutic strategies. Overall, these findings deepen our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms governing DSBs in hypertranscribed genes associated with carcinogenesis, opening avenues for future research and therapeutic interventions.

Topoisomerase I poisoning induces R-loop changes and DNA damage in human cancer cells [END-seq]

Project description:DNA topoisomerase I is an essential enzyme in higher eukaryotes that regulates DNA torsional tension during fundamental processes, such as replication and transcription. During its catalytic activity, a transient Topoisomerase I-DNA cleavage complex, called Top1cc, forms to allow strand rotation and duplex relaxation. However, the stabilization of Top1cc can lead to increased DNA:RNA hybrid duplexes, DNA double-strand cuts (DSBs) and genome instability as shown by formation of micronuclei, extranuclear chromatin enveloped by a nuclear membrane. To better comprehend the underlying mechanisms, we have established genomic maps of Top1cc-mediated R-loop changes and DSBs at short times upon Top1cc induction. Our findings show that Top1ccs dynamically changed the genomic distribution of R-loops, with regions of stable hybrid gains. DSBs were at specific gene loci, strongly associated with stable anterior R-loops at highly-transcribed genes and close to backtracked RNA polymerase II. Moreover, DSBs and stable anterior R-loops were highly enriched at early replication origins, thus revealing the location of replication conflicts with backtracked RNA polymerases.

Topoisomerase I cleavage complexes preferentially down-regulate ubiquitin- and RNA degradation-related transcripts in relationship to gene length, exon-intron junctions and p53-dependent up-regulation of miR-142-3p [miRNA]

Project description:DNA topoisomerase I (Top1) is required for transcription as it relaxes positive and negative supercoils by forming transient Top1 cleavage complexes (Top1cc) up- and down-stream of transcription complexes. However, Top1cc can also be trapped by endogenous DNA lesions and by camptothecin (CPT) and its anticancer derivatives, which results in transcription blocks. Here, we undertook a genome-wide analysis of the effects of CPT on gene expression at exon resolution. We tested the impact of Top1 inhibition on miRNA expression at the genome-wide level in human colon carcinoma HCT116. The miRNA of cells treated with camptothecin (CPT) for were measured at several timepoints with Agilent Human miRNA Microarray V3 (8x15K).

TEX264 coordinates p97- and SPRTN-mediated resolution of topoisomerase 1-DNA adducts

Project description:Eukaryotic topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) regulates DNA topology to ensure efficient DNA replication and transcription. TOP1 is also a major driver of endogenous genome instability, particularly when its catalytic intermediate - a covalent TOP1-DNA adduct known as a TOP1 cleavage complex (TOP1cc) - is stabilised. TOP1ccs are highly cytotoxic and a failure to resolve them underlies the pathology of neurological disorders but is also exploited in cancer therapy where TOP1ccs are the target of widely used frontline anti-cancer drugs. A critical enzyme for TOP1cc resolution is the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase, TDP1, which hydrolyses the bond that links a tyrosine in the active site of TOP1 to a 3’ phosphate group on a single-stranded (ss)DNA break. However, TDP1 can only process small peptide fragments from ssDNA ends, raising the question of how the ~90 kDa TOP1 protein is processed upstream of TDP1. We find that TEX264 fulfils this role by forming a complex with the p97 ATPase and the SPRTN metalloprotease. We show that TEX264 recognises both unmodified and SUMO1-modifed TOP1 and initiates TOP1cc repair by recruiting p97 and SPRTN. TEX264 localises to the nuclear periphery, associates with DNA replication forks, and counteracts TOP1ccs during DNA replication. Altogether, our study elucidates the existence of a specialised repair complex required for upstream proteolysis of TOP1ccs and their subsequent resolution.

Genome-wide analysis of novel splice variants induced by topoisomerase I poisoning shows preferential occurrence in genes encoding splicing factors

Project description:Topoisomerase I (Top1) relaxes both positive and negative supercoilings by producing transient Top1 cleavage complexes (Top1cc). Several studies have suggested the implication of Top1 in splicing. Here, we tested the implication of Top1cc in splicing at the global genome level in human carcinoma cells to determine whether Top1 inhibition selectively affects particular families of genes.
