Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Stephen J Elledge Kristen Elizabeth Mengwasser Genetic Screening Approaches to Cancer Driver Characterization and Synthetic Lethal Target Discovery Abstract Advances in genetic screening technology have expanded the toolkit for systematic perturbation of gene function. While the CRISPR-Cas9 system robustly probes genetic loss-of-function in mammalian cells, a barcoded ORFeome library offers the opportunity to systematically study genetic gain-of-function. We employed these two screening tools for three purposes. First, we performed shRNA and CRISPR-based screens for synthetic lethality with BRCA2 deficiency, in two pairs of BRCA2 isogenic cell lines. BRCA2 mutation commonly drives hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, but also creates vulnerability to PARP inhibitor treatment. Among other genes, we found the AP endonuclease APEX2 and the flap endonuclease FEN1 to be synthetic lethal with BRCA2 deficiency; the base excision repair (BER) pathway was synthetic lethal overall. We demonstrated that FEN1 plays a role in microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ) and that a FEN1 inhibitor selectively targets BRCA-deficient cells, offering therapeutic potential in the setting of PARP inhibitor resistance. Second, we screened a barcoded ORFeome library for genes that either upregulate PD-L1 or interfere with IFNγ signaling. Tumor-expressed PD-L1 engages PD-1 on T cells, dampening T-cell based immune responses to tumors, while defects in iii IFNγ signaling underlie resistance to immunotherapy. We found 12 GPCRs that significantly increase cell surface PD-L1 display, including three LPARs (LPAR1/2/5), and a family of RNA-binding proteins (CELF3/4/5) that upregulates PD-L1. Conversely, we showed that CLK2 overexpression antagonizes IFNγ signaling; CLK2 is known to phosphorylate PTPN1 and is amplified in tumor types that respond poorly to immunotherapy. Thus, segregating patients based on CLK2 amplification status or augmenting immunotherapy with CLK2 inhibitors may improve clinical responses. Finally, we utilized CRISPR and ORF-based libraries targeting known and predicted tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) or oncogenes (OGs) to systematically screen cancer drivers for a variety of phenotypes. We found at least 20 genes not commonly annotated as drivers that enhanced proliferation, including PAWR, AMBRA1, and USP28. We screened OGs bearing tumor-associated point mutations and functionally validated the MYCN P44L mutation. We mapped drivers across multiple hallmark cancer phenotypes and found that IRF6 knockout promotes anoikis bypass. Thus, functional studies can augment computational approaches in identifying cancer driver genes. iv Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction ........................................................................ 1 I.

Accumulating data demonstrate that DNA repair-defective tumors, in particular homologous recombination (HR), are highly sensitive to DNA-damaging agents. Thus, HR-defective tumors exhibit potential vulnerability to the synthetic lethality approach, which may lead to new therapeutic strategies. It is well known that poly (adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors show the synthetically lethal effect in tumors defective in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes encoded proteins that are required for efficient HR. In this review, we summarize the strategies of targeting DNA repair pathways and other DNA metabolic functions to cause synthetic lethality in HR-defective tumor cells. Keywords: DNA repair; homologous recombination; synthetic lethality; BRCA; Rad52 International Journal of Oral Science (2011) 3: 176-179. doi: 10.4248/IJOS11064 Introduction polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are specifically toxic to homologous recombination (HR)-defective cells [3-4]. Synthetic lethality is defined as a genetic combination Playing a key role in maintaining genetic stability, HR is of mutations in two or more genes that leads to cell a major repair pathway for double-strand breaks (DSBs) death, whereas a mutation in any one of the genes does utilizing undamaged homologous DNA sequence [5-6].

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.

BMC Medical Genomics 2020, 13(Suppl 5):39 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12920-020-0675-4 RESEARCH Open Access An integrative, genomic, transcriptomic and network-assisted study to identify genes associated with human cleft lip with or without cleft palate Fangfang Yan1†, Yulin Dai1†, Junichi Iwata2,3, Zhongming Zhao1,4,5* and Peilin Jia1* From The International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine (ICIBM) 2019 Columbus, OH, USA. 9-11 June 2019 Abstract Background: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is one of the most common congenital human birth defects. A combination of genetic and epidemiology studies has contributed to a better knowledge of CL/P-associated candidate genes and environmental risk factors. However, the etiology of CL/P remains not fully understood. In this study, to identify new CL/P-associated genes, we conducted an integrative analysis using our in-house network tools, dmGWAS [dense module search for Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS)] and EW_dmGWAS (Edge-Weighted dmGWAS), in a combination with GWAS data, the human protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and differential gene expression profiles. Results: A total of 87 genes were consistently detected in both European and Asian ancestries in dmGWAS. There were 31.0% (27/87) showed nominal significance with CL/P (gene-based p < 0.05), with three genes showing strong association signals, including KIAA1598, GPR183,andZMYND11 (p <1×10− 3). In EW_dmGWAS, we identified 253 and 245 module genes associated with CL/P for European ancestry and the Asian ancestry, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that these genes were involved in cell adhesion, protein localization to the plasma membrane, the regulation of the apoptotic signaling pathway, and other pathological conditions.

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes.

We develop the Synthetic Lethality Knowledge Graph (SLKG), presenting the tumor therapy landscape of synthetic lethality (SL) and synthetic dosage lethality (SDL). SLKG 1234567890():,; integrates the large-scale entity of different tumors, drugs and drug targets by exploring a comprehensive set of SL and SDL pairs. The overall therapy landscape is prioritized to identify the best repurposable drug candidates and drug combinations with literature supports, in vitro pharmacologic evidence or clinical trial records. Finally, cladribine, an FDA-approved multiple sclerosis treatment drug, is selected and identified as a repurposable drug for treating melanoma with CDKN2A mutation by in vitro validation, serving as a demonstrating SLKG utility example for novel tumor therapy discovery. Collectively, SLKG forms the com- putational basis to uncover cancer-specific susceptibilities and therapy strategies based on the principle of synthetic lethality. 1 Translational Medical Center for Stem Cell Therapy and Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Shanghai East Hospital, Bioinformatics Department, School of Life Sciences and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China. 2 Department of Oral and Maxillofacial-Head Neck Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, College of Stomatology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
