Combined Genetic and Genealogic Studies Uncover a Large BAP1 Cancer Syndrome Kindred Tracing Back Nine Generations to a Common Ancestor from the 1700s.

ABSTRACT: We recently discovered an inherited cancer syndrome caused by BRCA1-Associated Protein 1 (BAP1) germline mutations with high incidence of mesothelioma, uveal melanoma and other cancers and very high penetrance by age 55. To identify families with the BAP1 cancer syndrome, we screened patients with family histories of multiple mesotheliomas and melanomas and/or multiple cancers. We identified four families that shared an identical BAP1 mutation: they lived across the US and did not appear to be related. By combining family histories, molecular genetics, and genealogical approaches, we uncovered a BAP1 cancer syndrome kindred of ~80,000 descendants with a core of 91 individuals, whose members descend from a couple born in Germany in the early 1700s who immigrated to North America. Their descendants spread throughout the country with mutation carriers affected by multiple malignancies. Our data show that, once a proband is identified, extended analyses of these kindreds, using genomic and genealogical studies to identify the most recent common ancestor, allow investigators to uncover additional branches of the family that may carry BAP1 mutations. Using this knowledge, we have identified new branches of this family carrying BAP1 mutations. We have also implemented early-detection strategies that help identify cancers at early-stage, when they can be cured (melanomas) or are more susceptible to therapy (MM and other malignancies).

Gene expression changes resulting from the stable loss of BAP1 in uveal melanoma cell lines

Project description:Uveal melanoma is a highly aggressive cancer with a strong propensity for metastasis, yet little is known about the biological mechanisms underlying this metastatic potential. We recently showed that most metastasizing uveal melanomas, which exhibit a class 2 gene expression profile, contain inactivating mutations in the tumor suppressor BAP1. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of BAP1 in uveal melanoma progression. To that end, uveal melanoma cells were studied following stable shRNA-mediated depletion of BAP1. RNA was isolated from three independent uveal melanoma cell lines each stably depleted using shRNA for either BAP1 or the control gene GFP. Two biological replicates were performed for each cell line.

Genome wide binding sites of BAP1, HCF1 and OGT

Project description:We report the genome wide binding sites of BAP1, HCF1 and OGT in bone marrow derived macrophages. De-ubiquitinating enzyme BAP1 is mutated in a hereditary cancer syndrome with increased risk of mesothelioma and uveal melanoma. Somatic BAP1 mutations occur in various malignancies. We show that mouse Bap1 gene deletion is lethal during embryogenesis, but systemic or hematopoietic-restricted deletion in adults recapitulates features of human myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Knockin mice expressing BAP1 with a 3xFlag tag revealed that BAP1 interacts with host cell factor–1 (HCF-1), O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT), and the polycomb group proteins ASXL1 and ASXL2 in vivo. OGT and HCF-1 levels were decreased by Bap1 deletion, indicating a critical role for BAP1 in stabilizing these epigenetic regulators. Human ASXL1 is mutated frequently in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) so an ASXL/BAP1 complex may suppress CMML. A BAP1 catalytic mutation found in a MDS patient implies that BAP1 loss of function has similar consequences in mice and humans. For BAP1, bone marrow derived macrophages were used differentiated from bone marrow cells of BAP1-3X Flag Tagged KI mice we generated. For OGT and HCF1, bone marrow derived macrophages were used from BAP1 WT mice.

Cancer-associated ASXL1 mutations may act as gain-of-function mutations of the ASXL1-BAP1 complex

Project description:ASXL1 is the obligate regulatory subunit of a deubiquitinase complex whose catalytic subunit is BAP1. Heterozygous mutations of ASXL1 that result in premature truncations are frequent in myeloid leukemias and Bohring-Opitz syndrome. Here, we demonstrate that truncated ASXL1 proteins confer enhanced activity on the ASXL1-BAP1 complex. Stable expression of truncated, hyperactive ASXL1-BAP1 complexes in a hematopoietic precursor cell line resulted in global erasure of H2AK119Ub, striking depletion of H3K27me3, selective upregulation of a subset of genes whose promoters bore both H2AK119Ub and H3K4me3, and spontaneous differentiation to the mast cell lineage. These outcomes required the catalytic activity of BAP1, indicating these events were downstream consequences of H2AK119Ub erasure. In bone marrow precursors, truncated ASXL1-BAP1 expression cooperated with TET2 loss-of-function to increase differentiation to the myeloid lineage in vivo. We propose that pathological ASXL1 mutations confer gain-of-function on the ASXL-BAP1 complex. ChIP-Seq for H2AK119Ub, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 on EML cells. RNA-Seq on EML cells expressing ASXL1(1-479)+BAP1 and control.

Global expression analysis of BAP1 knockdown in transfected 92.1 cells

Project description:Analysis of the effect that reduced BAP1 levels have on global gene expression.The hypothesis tested was that reduction in BAP1 levels would produce changes in gene expression similar to changes observed in class 2 uveal melanomas. Data provided insight into genes that are disrupted with reduced BAP1 levels. Total RNA was isolated from 92.1 cells transfected with either control or BAP1 knockdown constructs for global expression analysis.

TP53 c.1000G>C; p.G334R is an Ashkenazi Jewish predominant mutation associated with a low penetrance Li-Fraumeni Syndrome

Project description:Multiple family members with cancer or individuals with multiple primary cancers are indicative of potential genetic etiology1. Germline mutations in TP53 cause a rare high penetrance cancer syndrome, Li Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS)2. We identified a TP53 tetramerization domain (TD) missense mutation c.1000G>C;p.G334R, in a family with LFS-associated cancers. Twenty-one additional probands were identified, and available tumors showed biallelic somatic inactivation of TP53. The majority of families were of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and the TP53 c.1000G>C allele was found on a commonly inherited haplotype. While classical p53 target gene activation was maintained in p.G334R mutant cell lines treated with Nutlin-3a, a subset of p53 target genes, including PCLO, PLTP, PLXNB3 and LCN15, showed defective transactivation. Structural analysis demonstrated thermal instability of the mutant TD, and the G334R mutant protein showed increased preponderance of mutant conformation protein. TP53 c.1000G>C;p.G334R is a rare AJ-predominant mutation associated with low penetrance Li-Fraumeni Syndrome

RNAseq in BAP1 KO primary mouse mesothelial cells

Project description:Malignancies arising from mutation of tumor suppressor genes display an unexplained tissue proclivity. For example, tumor suppressor BAP1 encodes a ubiquitously expressed deubiquitinase for histone H2A but germline mutations predominantly cause uveal melanomas and mesotheliomas. We show that BAP1 inactivation causes apoptosis in mouse embryonic stem cells, fibroblasts, liver and pancreas, whereas melanocytes and mesothelial cells remain viable. E3 ligase RNF2, which silences genes by monoubiquitinating H2A, promoted apoptosis in BAP1-deficient cells by suppressing the pro-survival genes Bcl-2 and Mcl-1. Our data argue that BAP1 modulates gene expression by countering H2A ubiquitination, but its loss only promotes tumorigenesis in cells that do not engage an RNF2-dependent apoptotic program. We propose that intolerance of BAP1 loss, and perhaps the loss of other tumor suppressors, restricts the mutant tumor spectrum.
