UV-induced DNA lesion mapping reveals that carcinogen susceptibility is regulated by genome architecture and dictates cancer mutagenesis

ABSTRACT: In this study, we present the first quantitative human genome-wide map of DNA lesions induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the ubiquitous carcinogen in sunlight that causes skin cancer. Remarkably, the pattern of carcinogen susceptibility across the genome of primary cells significantly reflects mutation frequency in malignant melanoma. Surprisingly, DNase-accessible euchromatin is protected from UV, while lamina-associated heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery is vulnerable. Many cancer driver genes have an intrinsic increase in carcinogen susceptibility, including the BRAF oncogene that has the highest mutation frequency in melanoma. These findings provide a genome-wide snapshot of DNA injuries in cells at the earliest stage of carcinogenesis. Furthermore, they identify carcinogen susceptibility as a previously unrecognized origin of mutagenesis that is regulated by nuclear architecture and dictates genome instability in cancer.

UV-induced DNA lesion mapping in retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) knock out cells

Project description:In this study, we generated a human genome-wide map of DNA lesions induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation in retinoblastoma knockout (RB1 KO) cells. Interestingly, we observed increased carcinogen susceptibility in closed HI-C domainS, pericentric and subtelomeric regions in RB1 KO. We also observed increased susceptibility at cancer driver loci such as TERT and TPTE. These loci are highly mutated in melanoma. Finally, we proposed that loss of tumor suppressor function can alter carcinogen susceptibility, and subsequently the mutation frequency of the genome.

CPD-seq map of UV damage formation in human fibroblasts

Project description:UV light is an initiating factor in the etiology of human melanoma due to its production of mutagenic DNA photoproducts, primarily cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts. UV-induced mutations are heterogeneously distributed across melanoma genomes, being enriched, for example, in regions of compact heterochromatin and at active transcription factor binding sites (TFBS). Differential ability of nucleotide excision repair (NER) to remove UV-induced DNA lesions in these regions has been proposed as the primary factor establishing the observed regional differences in melanoma mutation density. However, it is not fully understood to what extent the binding of transcription factors and chromatin structure affect UV damage formation, nor how variations in initial damage levels contribute to mutagenesis. Here, we directly mapped sites of CPD formation across the genome in human cells, and show that variations in UV damage formation, due to primary chromatin structure and transcription factor binding, are strongly correlated with local differences in melanoma mutation density. Analysis of individual transcription factors revealed that the E26 transformation-specific (ETS) family is the major contributor to increased somatic mutation density at TFBS in melanoma, primarily because DNA binding by ETS family transcription factors stimulates the formation of CPD lesions, generating UV damage 'hotspots'. Moreover, many ETS binding sites, including those associated with known cancer genes, are recurrently mutated in human melanomas. These findings establish variable lesion formation as a key contributor to mutation heterogeneity in cancer.

Lipopolysaccharide-mediated chronic inflammation promotes tobacco carcinogen-induced lung tumorigenesis

Project description:We developed a two-staged lung cancer mouse model, which mimics the smoking carcinogen-induced, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-related airway inflammation promoted lung cancers. We used the carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3- pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) to induce lung cancer and in parallel to repeated Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) installation to induce chronic lung inflammation. To identify genes associated with chronic inflammation promoting lung tumorigenesis, we have performed whole genome microarray expression profiling of mice exposed to Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS), NNK, LPS, and combined NNK and LPS.

Elevated pyrimidine dimer formation at distinct genomic bases underlies promoter mutation hotspots in UV-exposed cancers

Project description:Sequencing of whole cancer genomes has revealed an abundance of recurrent mutations in gene-regulatory promoter regions, in particular in melanoma where strong mutation hotspots are observed adjacent to ETS-family transcription factor (TF) binding sites. While sometimes interpreted as functional driver events, these mutations are commonly believed to be due to locally inhibited DNA repair. Here, we first show that low-dose UV light induces mutations preferably at a known ETS promoter hotspot in cultured cells even in the absence of global or transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (NER). Further, by genome-wide mapping of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) shortly after UV exposure and thus before DNA repair, we find that ETS-related mutation hotspots exhibit strong increases in CPD formation efficacy in a manner consistent with tumor mutation data at the single-base level. Analysis of a large whole genome cohort illustrates the widespread contribution of this effect to recurrent mutations in melanoma. While inhibited NER underlies a general increase in somatic mutation burden in regulatory elements including ETS sites, our data supports that elevated DNA damage formation at specific genomic bases is at the core of the prominent promoter mutation hotspots seen in skin cancers, thus explaining a key phenomenon in whole-genome cancer analyses.

The effects of UV-miRNAs on melanocytes in situ

Project description:The response of microRNAs (miRNAs) to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in human melanocytes while in their natural environment, and in particular, melanocytes from persons with a history of melanoma versus those from healthy persons, have yet to be described. Here, we used laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate and subsequently profile the expression of miRNAs in a pure population of melanocytes from human volunteers exposed to physiological doses of simulated sunlight (ssUVR). The majority of the UV-responsive miRNAs in the melanocytes of melanoma patients were down-regulated in expression when compared to those in the melanocytes of healthy individuals. De-repressed genes associated with these down-regulated UV-miRNAs belonged to regulatory modules involved in controlling the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), apoptosis, and immune-evasion, processes reputedly linked to melanoma.

Gut microbiota carcinogen metabolism causes distal tissue tumours

Project description:<p>Exposure to environmental pollutants and human microbiome composition are important predisposition factors for tumour development. Similar to drug molecules, pollutants are typically metabolised in the body, which can change their carcinogenic potential and impact tissue distribution through altered toxicokinetics. Although recent studies demonstrated that human-associated microbes can chemically convert a wide range of xenobiotics and influence the profile and tissue exposure of resulting metabolites, the effect of microbial biotransformation on chemical-induced tumour development remains unclear. Here we show that the depletion of the gut microbiota dramatically reduces the development and severity of nitrosamine-induced urinary bladder cancer in mice, which affects the toxicokinetics of nitrosamines. We causally linked this carcinogen biotransformation to specific gut bacterial isolates in vitro and in vivo using individualized bacterial culture collections and gnotobiotic mouse models, respectively. We tested gut communities from different human donors to demonstrate that microbial carcinogen metabolism varies between individuals and we showed that this metabolic activity applies to structurally related nitrosamine-carcinogens. Altogether, these results suggest gut microbiota carcinogen metabolism as a contributing factor for chemical-induced carcinogenesis, which could open avenues to target the microbiome for improved predisposition risk assessment and prevention of cancer.</p>

Transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana photoreceptor mutants impaired in UV and blue light signaling

Project description:Plants use sunlight as a source of energy for photosynthesis but also as an important environmental cue to regulate growth, development and light acclimation. Wavelengths in the UV-B (280-315 nm) and UV-A/blue (315-500 nm) regions of the spectrum are perceived by UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) and cryptochromes (CRY1 and CRY2), respectively. Despite recent advances in our understanding of how these photoreceptors promote photomorphogenesis, very little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulated by UVR8 and CRYs in sunlight exposed plants. Here, a factorial experiment was designed to assess the roles of UVR8 and CRYs in regulating transcriptome wide changes, hormone accumulation, and growth competence of Arabidopsis thaliana plants exposed to solar UV-B, UV-A, and blue radiation.

Dynamic Maps of UV Damage Formation and Repair for the Human Genome

Project description:UV-induced DNA damage is the major carcinogen of skin cancer. We developed HS-Damage-seq to map UV damage with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution in human cells. While the distribution of UV-induced damage are mainly determined by sequence context and essentially uniform throughout the genome, transcription factors can affect damage formation at specific positions. With time-course experiments, we observed changes in damage distribution at particular genomic loci and chromatin states, which reflects the nucleotide excision repair preferences and complements the repair maps by XR-seq. Our results demonstrated that while initial damage is uniformly distributed, they are heterogeneously repaired throughout the genome. The combination of damage and repair maps provides a holistic perspective of UV damage and repair in the human genome.

Cutaneous and acral melanoma cross-OMICs reveals prognostic cancer drivers associated with pathobiology and ultraviolet exposure

Project description:Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is causally linked to cutaneous melanoma, yet the underlying epigenetic mechanisms, known as molecular sensors of exposure, have never been characterized in clinical biospecimen. DNA methylome, genome and transcriptome analyses of cutaneous melanoma in two cohorts identified UV-related alterations in regulatory regions and immunological pathways and revealed novel cancer driver genes affecting patient survival. TAPBP, the top gene and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, encompassed several CpG methylation sites altered by UV and independently validated by bisulfite pyrosequencing, providing cost-effective opportunities for clinical application. The DNA methylome also highlighted non UV-related aberrations underlying pathological differences between cutaneous and acral melanomas. Unsupervised epigenomic mapping demonstrated that non UV-mutant cutaneous melanoma more closely resembles acral rather than UV-exposed cutaneous melanoma, with the latter showing better patient prognosis than the other two forms. These gene-environment interactions in multi-ethnic backgrounds reveal translationally impactful mechanisms in melanomagenesis.
