'Identification of Synthetic Lethal Gene Interactions with REV3 in Lung Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Identification of synthetic lethal gene interactions with REV3 in lung cancer cells Kotov, Ilya Abstract: Identifizierung von synthetisch-letalen genetischen Interaktionen mit REV3 in Lungenkreb- szellen Polymerase ฀ (Zeta) ist die einzige bekannte Transläsionspolymerase, deren Knockout embry- onale Letalität bei Mäusen bewirkt. Diese Tatsache legt nahe, dass sie, abgesehen von ihrer Funk- tion in der postreplikativen DNA Reparatur, eine besondere, noch unbekannte Rolle in der Entwick- lung von Säugetieren spielt. Es ist bekannt, dass die Hemmung von REV3, der katalytischen Untere- inheit der Transläsionspolymerase ฀, die Resistenzbildung gegen Cisplatin reduziert und die Empfind- lichkeit der menschlichen Zellen dagegen erhöht. Neueste Erkenntnisse aus unserem Labor zeigten, dass die Hemmung von REV3 per se das Zellwachstum von Mesotheliom-, Lungenkrebs- und Brustkreb- szellen reduziert, während normalen Zellen weniger betroffen sind. Das Ziel meiner Doktorarbeit war es, Gene zu identifizieren, deren Hemmung das Wachstum von REV3 -defizitären Krebszellen nicht nur reduzieren sondern vollständig stoppen kann, d.h. synthetisch-letale Interaktionen mit REV3 in men- schlichen Lungenkrebszellen zu identifizieren. Dieses wurde getan, um krebsspezifische Änderungen zu erkennen, die für die beobachtete differenzielle Wirkung von REV3 per se verantwortlich sein könnten. Darüber hinaus könnte die Entdeckung solcher Gene die Grundlage für eine neue Kombinationstherapie bieten. Schliesslich erwarteten wir von den Ergebnissen auch neue Einblicke in die zelluläre Funktion von REV3. Mit einer Gesamtgenom-siRNA-Bibliothek haben wir wiederholt globale Screens durchgeführt, um Ziele zu identifizieren, deren Hemmung vorzugsweise die Lebensfähigkeit von REV3-defizitären A549- Lungenkrebszellen reduziert. Einer der Top-Hits, welcher in unabhängigen Experimenten bestätigt wurde, war RRM1, die grosse Untereinheit der Ribonucleotidreduktase (RNR), eines kritischen Enzyms des de novo-Nukleotidsynthesewegs. Die Behandlung mit dem RNR-Inhibitor Hydroxurea (HU) erhöhte syner- gistisch den Anteil der REV3-defizitären Zellen, welche Einzelstrang-DNA (ssDNA) enthalten, wasmit Hilfe der Durchflusszytometrie als erhöhte Immunfluoreszenzfärbung von Replikationsprotein A(RPA) erkennbar war. Dieser Anstieg war jedoch nicht von einer Akkumulation des DNA-Schadenmarkers ฀H2AX begleitet, was darauf hindeutet, dass REV3 nicht nur eine Funktion in der DNA Reparatur sondern auch in der Toleranz gegen Replikationsstress (RS) hat. Weiter beschränkte sich die erhöhte RPA-Färbung auf Zellen in der S-Phase des Zellzyklus was im Einklang mit einer Rolle von REV3 während der DNA Replikation ist. Zusätzlich haben wir festgestellt, dass Gene, welche mit RS assozi- iert sind, unter den Top-Hits des Screens signifikant angereichert waren, was die Bedeutung von REV3 für die Replikation unter RS Bedingungen weiter bekräftigt. Zusammengefasst implizieren diese Daten eine neue Funktion von REV3 in der Toleranz von RS, welche sowohl die krebsspezifische Wirkung der REV3-Hemmung auf molekularer Ebene erklären als auch die Unentbehrlichkeit von REV3 während der embryonalen Entwicklung in Säugetieren begründen würde. Identification of Synthetic Lethal Gene In- teractions with REV3 in Lung Cancer Cells Polymerase ฀ (zeta) is the only known translesion synthesis polymerase, of which the knockout causes embryonic lethality in mice. This fact suggests that apart from its function in post-replication repair it plays a special, yet to be identified, role in mammalian develop- ment. It is known that inhibition of REV3, the catalytic subunit of the translesion polymerase ฀, reduces the formation of resistance and increases the sensitivity of human cells to cisplatin. Surprisingly, recent findings of our laboratory revealed that inhibition of REV3 per se reduces cell growth of mesothelioma, lung- and breast cancer cells whereas normal cells are less affected. The purpose of my PhD thesis wasto identify genes whose inhibition will not only reduce but completely abolish cancer cell growth in a REV3- deficient background, i.e. to investigate synthetic lethal interactions with REV3 in human lungcancer cells. This was done to identify cancer-specific alterations that might be responsible for the observed differential REV3 per se effect. Additionally, the discovery of such genes could provide arationalefor a new combinational therapy. Finally, these results could also give us insights into the cellular function of REV3. Using a whole-genome siRNA library we performed sets of global screens to identify targets whose inhibition preferentially affects viability of REV3-deficient A549 cells. The top confirmed hitwas RRM1, the large subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), a critical enzyme of de novo nucleotide synthesis. Treatment with the RNR-inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU) synergistically increased the fraction of REV3- deficient cells containing single stranded DNA (ssDNA) as indicated by increased stainingof replication protein A (RPA). However, this increase was not accompanied by accumulation of the DNA damage marker ฀H2AX suggesting a role of REV3 in tolerance of replication stress (RS). Consistent with a role of REV3 in DNA replication, increased RPA staining was confined to S-phase cells. Additionally, we found genes related to RS to be significantly enriched among the top hits of the synthetic lethality screen further corroborating the importance of REV3 for replication under conditions of RS. These data outline a novel function of mammalian REV3 that could serve as a molecular basis of the observed REV3 cancer-specific per se effect as well as its indispensability during embryonic development.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Whole egg consumption increases gene expression within the glutathione pathway in the liver of Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats Abstract Nutrigenomic evidence supports the idea that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) arises due to the interactions between the transcriptome, individual genetic profiles, lifestyle, and diet. Since eggs are a nutrient dense food containing bioactive ingredients that modify gene expression, our goal was to examine the role of whole egg consumption on the transcriptome during T2DM.

    ! ""! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I dedicate this thesis to my parents who inspired me to become a scientist through invigorating scientific discussions at the dinner table even when I was too young to understand what the hippocampus was. They also prepared me for the ups and downs of science and supported me through all of these experiences. I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn and my thesis committee members Dr. Eric Verdin, and Dr. Emmanuelle Passegue. Liz created a nurturing and supportive environment for me to explore my own ideas, while at the same time teaching me how to love science, test my questions, and of course provide endless ways to think about telomeres and telomerase. Eric and Emmanuelle both gave specific critical advice about the proper experiments for T cells and both volunteered their lab members for further critical advice. I always felt inspired with a sense of direction after thesis committee meetings. The Blackburn lab is full of smart and dedicated scientists whom I am thankful for their support. Specifically Dr. Shang Li and Dr. Brad Stohr for their stimulating scientific debates and “arguments.” Dr. Jue Lin, Dana Smith, Kyle Lapham, Dr. Tet Matsuguchi, and Kyle Jay for their friendships and discussions about what my data could possibly mean. Dr. Eva Samal for teaching me molecular biology techniques and putting up with my late night lab exercises. Beth Cimini for her expertise with microscopy, FACs, singing, and most of all for being a caring and supportive friend. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Imke Listerman, my scientific partner for most of the breast cancer experiments.

  • Roles of Human POLD1 and POLD3 in Genome Stability Emanuela Tumini, Sonia Barroso, Carmen Pérez-Calero & Andrés Aguilera

If improperly controlled it can constitute a major Received: 11 July 2016 source of genome instability, frequently associated with cancer and aging. POLD1 is the catalytic Accepted: 16 November 2016 subunit and POLD3 is an accessory subunit of the replicative Pol δ polymerase, which also functions in Published: 15 December 2016 DNA repair, as well as the translesion synthesis polymerase Pol ζ, whose catalytic subunit is REV3L. In cells depleted of POLD1 or POLD3 we found a differential but general increase in genome instability as manifested by DNA breaks, S-phase progression impairment and chromosome abnormalities. Importantly, we showed that both proteins are needed to maintain the proper amount of active replication origins and that POLD3-depletion causes anaphase bridges accumulation. In addition, POLD3-associated DNA damage showed to be dependent on RNA-DNA hybrids pointing toward an additional and specific role of this subunit in genome stability. Interestingly, a similar increase in RNA-DNA hybrids-dependent genome instability was observed in REV3L-depleted cells. Our findings demonstrate a key role of POLD1 and POLD3 in genome stability and S-phase progression revealing RNA-DNA hybrids-dependent effects for POLD3 that might be partly due to its Polζ interaction. DNA replication is an essential process in which DNA is duplicated and passed on to daughter cells, allowing the transmission of genetic information. To safeguard its integrity, cells have developed sophisticated mechanisms that constitute the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway.
