Degree and site of chromosomal instability define its oncogenic potential.

Project description:Most human cancers are aneuploid, due to a chromosomal instability (CIN) phenotype. Despite being hallmarks of cancer, however, the roles of CIN and aneuploidy in tumor formation have not unequivocally emerged from animal studies and are thus still unclear. Using a conditional mouse model for diverse degrees of CIN, we find that a particular range is sufficient to drive very early onset spontaneous adenoma formation in the intestine. In mice predisposed to intestinal cancer (ApcMin/+), moderate CIN causes a remarkable increase in adenoma burden in the entire intestinal tract and especially in the distal colon, which resembles human disease. Strikingly, a higher level of CIN promotes adenoma formation in the distal colon even more than moderate CIN does, but has no effect in the small intestine. Our results thus show that CIN can be potently oncogenic, but that certain levels of CIN can have contrasting effects in distinct tissues.

Hoxa13 overexpression drives chromosomal instability and liver tumorigenesis in mice

Project description:Background and aims: Class I Homeobox (HOX) genes are fundamental components of embryonic patterning and morphogenesis, also implicated in neoplastic transformations. Among them HOXA13, in particular, has been found to be the most overexpressed in HCC and to be associated with worse prognosis. However, no previous work has shown so far a direct causal effect between HOXA13 overexpression and liver tumorigenesis. In this study we aimed to prove the direct oncogenicity of HOXA13 in the liver and to unravel the molecular mechanisms of Hoxa13-induced liver tumorigenesis. Approach and Results: To unravel the oncogenic mechanism of HOXA13 in vivo, a transgenic mouse model of HOXA13 overexpression in the liver was generated using hydrodynamic tail vein injection coupled with a transposase system. The mice phenotype was followed over time, from 2 weeks up to 1-year post injection. RNA-sequencing was performed to monitor the transcriptomic changes over time. HOXA13-overexpression in the liver led to highly proliferative hepatocytes and correlated with the DNA damage marker yH2AX. 1-year post-injection 50% of the injected mice developed liver tumors of various histological grades and types. RNA-sequencing analysis performed on whole liver extracts of 2 weeks-old mice and tumors showed that the main pathway deregulated by HOXA13 overexpression was cell cycle, in particular G2/M transition and mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint. Additionally, HOXA13-overexpressing livers showed a transcriptomic signature of chromosomal Instability, suggesting a possible mechanism of tumorigenesis driven by genome instability. Conclusions: Our study highlights the role of HOXA13 as a novel oncogenic driver in hepatocarcinogenesis and strongly suggests that its oncogenic properties are least partially mediated by induction of chromosomal instability.

Gene dosage imbalance contributes to chromosomal instability-induced tumorigenesis

Project description:Chromosomal instability (CIN) is thought to be a source of mutability in human cancer. However, CIN is highly deleterious for the cell, and the resulting aneuploidy induces metabolic stress and compromises cell fitness. Here we utilized the X-chromosome dosage compensation mechanism and changes in X-chromosome number to demonstrate in Drosophila epithelial cells the causal relationship between CIN, aneuploidy, gene dosage imbalance and tumorigenesis. Whereas the harmful effects of CIN can be buffered by resetting the X-chromosome dosage compensation to compensate for changes in X-chromosome number, interfering with the mechanisms of dosage compensation suffices to induce tumorigenesis. In addition, multiple mechanisms buffer the deleterious effects of CIN including DNA-damage repair, activation of the p38 signalling pathway, and induction of cytokine expression to promote compensatory cell proliferation. These data reveal a key role of gene dosage imbalances to CIN-induced programmed cell death and tumorigenesis and the existence of robust compensatory mechanisms.

Aldehyde exposure unmasks genome instability in cells heterozygous for clinically relevant BRCA2 mutations

Project description:Abnormalities provoked in human cells heterozygous for clinically relevant truncating mutations in BRCA2 by their exposure to naturally occurring aldehydes define a mechanism promoting carcinogenesis in mutation carriers. The ubiquitous metabolite and environmental toxin, formaldehyde, triggers replication fork instability and structural chromosomal aberrations in BRCA2 heterozygous cells. These abnormalities arise from a previously unrecognized effect of formaldehyde to selectively induce the proteasomal degradation of BRCA2, inducing functional haploinsufficiency only in cells where BRCA2 expression is already compromised by a heterozygous mutation. Similar effects are observed with acetaldehyde, a toxic product of alcohol catabolism. Replication fork instability and chromosomal aberrations in aldehyde-exposed cells arise from the unscheduled accumulation of RNA-DNA hybrids, revealing a mechanism driving genomic instability in BRCA2 heterozygous cells. We propose a model for cancer pathogenesis in which aldehyde exposure unmasks the carcinogenic potential of heterozygous BRCA2 mutations, with public health implications in mutation carriers.

Chromosomal instability adaptation dependencies confer unique targetable vulnerabilities in therapy refractory lethal prostate cancer

Project description:Chromosomal instability (CIN), an ongoing rate of chromosome missegregation during mitosis, is a defining feature of cancer. However, high chromosomal aberrations are detrimental for cell fitness. Here we investigated mechanisms allowing lethal prostate cancer (PCa) to tolerate and survive increasing CIN. Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of patient datasets and experimental models showed a concomitant increase of CIN and cell division fidelity kinases in lethal PCa. Functional studies identified MASTL as a key kinase to which therapy-resistant PCa cells become addicted to restrain lethal CIN and ensure survival. Combined analysis of transcription factors increased in high CIN PCa patient datasets with detailed promoter analysis identified that MASTL expression is regulated by the Androgen Receptor variant 7 (AR-V7) and E2F7. Finally, targeting MASTL addiction vulnerability in vivo using the small molecule inhibitor GKI-1, improves survival of pre-clinical models. These findings provide proof-of-concept for exploiting CIN levels as a therapeutic approach in cancer.
