Activation of proto-oncogenes by disruption of chromosome neighborhoods [chIA-PET]

ABSTRACT: Mutations such as gene fusion, translocation and focal amplification are a frequent cause of proto-oncogene activation during tumorigenesis, but such mutations do not explain all cases of proto-oncogene activation. Here we show that disruption of local chromosome conformation can also activate proto-oncogenes in human cells. We mapped chromosome structures in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), and found that active oncogenes and silent proto-oncogenes generally occur within insulated neighborhoods formed by the looping of two interacting CTCF sites co-occupied by cohesin. Recurrent microdeletions frequently overlap neighborhood boundary sites in T-ALL genomes, and we demonstrate that site-specific perturbation of loop boundaries is sufficient to activate the respective proto-oncogenes in non-malignant cells. We found somatic genomic rearrangements affecting loop boundaries in many cancers. These results suggest that chromosome structural organization is fundamental to identify functional somatic alterations in cancer genomes.

Yap1/Birc, c-Met and N-ras DNA amplifications are mutually exclusive in mouse mammary tumors.

Project description:Tumors acquire somatic DNA copy number aberrations, leading to activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressors. Many studies have focused on the analysis of single copy number aberrations and associated driver genes, but few studies have performed combinatorial analyses. We propose a genome-wide scoring framework to find mutually exclusive gains and losses. Mutually exclusive copy number aberrations can identify genes whose oncogenic function is redundant, either by functioning in the same pathway or in a parallel pathway. As one gene is aberrated the selective pressure for its partner is alleviated which leads to a mutually exclusive perturbation pattern. In a dataset of mouse models for invasive lobular carcinoma we found three mutually exclusive DNA amplifications, containing several well-known oncogenes: the Met proto-oncogene on chromosome 6, the cluster of Birc2, Birc3 and Yap1 genes on chromosome 9, and Nras on chromosome 3. Furthermore, gene expression or protein expression of these genes correlates very well with copy number data indicating that they are the target of the amplification. Although homologous amplifications in human tumors are rare, the mutual exclusivity of MET, BIRC/YAP1 and NRAS is maintained in a variety of cancer types. This suggests a novel function for YAP1 in the mitogen-activated signaling pathway by association with MET and NRAS, known players in this pathway. This function is independent to the propensity of YAP1 to cause Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal transition. aCGH data of 67 mouse mammary tumors from K14-Cre and WAP-Cre driven P53-F/F;Cdh1-F/F animals - tumor DNA hybridized against same-animal splenic DNA

Expression of PTTG1 is associated with aggressive clear cell renal carcinoma

Project description:The pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG1) is a recently discovered oncogene implicated in the malignant progression of a number of neoplasms. It has been shown to drive both endocrine and non-endocrine malignancies, but has not yet been studied in the context of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Clear cell RCC (ccRCC) is cytogenetically characterized by deletion of chromosome 3p, harboring the von-Hippel Lindau tumor suppressor gene, and amplification of chromosome 5q. The significance of copy number gain of chromosome 5 is not clear, but is presumed to be the location of oncogenes that influence ccRCC development or progression. The PTTG1 oncogene maps to chromosome 5q, and here we show that PTTG1 is amplified in clear cell RCC, is overexpressed in tumor tissue relative to adjacent normal kidney, and expression is associated with high grade, high stage, and poor prognosis. Furthermore, we establish a functional role for PTTG1 in ccRCC tumorigenesis and progression. PTTG1 ablation reduces both the tumorigenic ability of ccRCC cells in vitro and in vivo and the invasive ability of these cells in vitro. An analysis of genes whose transcription is regulated by PTTG1 was supportive of an association with invasive and metastatic disease. PTTG1-dependent expression of the Rho-GEF ECT2, another proto-oncogene, is observed in a number of ccRCC cell lines, and ECT2 expression correlates with PTTG1 expression, high stage, high grade, and poor prognosis ccRCC. As GEF's have been promoted as potential drug targets for targeted cancer therapeutics, the relationship between the PTTG1 and ECT2 oncogenes may be able to be exploited for the treatment of this disease. PTTG1 was knocked down by siRNA.
