Lower Genomic Stability of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Reflects
Zhang et al. Cancer Commun (2018) 38:49 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40880-018-0313-0 Cancer Communications ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Lower genomic stability of induced pluripotent stem cells refects increased non‑homologous end joining Minjie Zhang1,2†, Liu Wang3†, Ke An1,2†, Jun Cai1, Guochao Li1,2, Caiyun Yang1, Huixian Liu1, Fengxia Du1, Xiao Han1,2, Zilong Zhang1,2, Zitong Zhao1,2, Duanqing Pei4, Yuan Long5, Xin Xie5, Qi Zhou3 and Yingli Sun1* Abstract Background: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) share many common features, including similar morphology, gene expression and in vitro diferentiation profles. However, genomic stability is much lower in iPSCs than in ESCs. In the current study, we examined whether changes in DNA damage repair in iPSCs are responsible for their greater tendency towards mutagenesis. Methods: Mouse iPSCs, ESCs and embryonic fbroblasts were exposed to ionizing radiation (4 Gy) to introduce dou- ble-strand DNA breaks. At 4 h later, fdelity of DNA damage repair was assessed using whole-genome re-sequencing. We also analyzed genomic stability in mice derived from iPSCs versus ESCs. Results: In comparison to ESCs and embryonic fbroblasts, iPSCs had lower DNA damage repair capacity, more somatic mutations and short indels after irradiation. iPSCs showed greater non-homologous end joining DNA repair and less homologous recombination DNA repair. Mice derived from iPSCs had lower DNA damage repair capacity than ESC-derived mice as well as C57 control mice. Conclusions: The relatively low genomic stability of iPSCs and their high rate of tumorigenesis in vivo appear to be due, at least in part, to low fdelity of DNA damage repair. -

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. -

Applying expression profile similarity for discovery of patient-specific functional mutations Guofeng Meng Partner Institute of Computational Biology, Yueyang 333, Shanghai, China email: [email protected] Abstract The progress of cancer genome sequencing projects yields unprecedented information of mutations for numerous patients. However, the complexity of mutation profiles of patients hinders the further understanding of mechanisms of oncogenesis. One basic question is how to uncover mutations with functional impacts. In this work, we introduce a computational method to predict functional somatic mutations for each of patient by integrating mutation recurrence with similarity of expression profiles of patients. With this method, the functional mutations are determined by checking the mutation enrichment among a group of patients with similar expression profiles. We applied this method to three cancer types and identified the functional mutations. Comparison of the predictions for three cancer types suggested that most of the functional mutations were cancer-type-specific with one exception to p53. By checking prediction results, we found that our method effectively filtered non-functional mutations resulting from large protein sizes. In addition, this methods can also perform functional annotation to each patient to describe their association with signalling pathways or biological processes. In breast cancer, we predicted "cell adhesion" and other mutated gene associated terms to be significantly enriched among patients. -

Evaluation of Copy-Number Variants As Modifiers of Breast and Ovarian

To conduct the first genome-wide association analysis of copy- number variants (CNVs) with breast or ovarian cancer risk in a cohort of 2500 BRCA1 pathogenic variant carriers, CNV discovery was performed using multiple calling algorithms and Illumina 610k SNP array data from a previously published genome-wide association study. Our analysis, which focused on functionally disruptive genomic deletions overlapping gene regions, identified a number of loci associated with risk of breast or ovarian cancer for BRCA1 pathogenic variant carriers. Despite only including putative deletions called by at least two or more algorithms, detection of selected CNVs by ancillary molecular technologies only confirmed 40% of predicted common (41% allele frequency) variants. -

Baltasar Lucendo Villarin i ii Abstract Primary human hepatocytes are a scare resource with limited lifespan and variable function which diminishes with time in culture. As a consequence, their use in tissue modelling and therapy is restricted. Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) could provide a stable source of human tissue due to their self-renewal properties and their ability to give rise to all the cell types of the human body. -
