    Chromothripsis from DNA damage in micronuclei (2015)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-05-29
    Description: Genome sequencing has uncovered a new mutational phenomenon in cancer and congenital disorders called chromothripsis. Chromothripsis is characterized by extensive genomic rearrangements and an oscillating pattern of DNA copy number levels, all curiously restricted to one or a few chromosomes. The mechanism for chromothripsis is unknown, but we previously proposed that it could occur through the physical isolation of chromosomes in aberrant nuclear structures called micronuclei. Here, using a combination of live cell imaging and single-cell genome sequencing, we demonstrate that micronucleus formation can indeed generate a spectrum of genomic rearrangements, some of which recapitulate all known features of chromothripsis. These events are restricted to the mis-segregated chromosome and occur within one cell division. We demonstrate that the mechanism for chromothripsis can involve the fragmentation and subsequent reassembly of a single chromatid from a micronucleus. Collectively, these experiments establish a new mutational process of which chromothripsis is one extreme outcome.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4742237/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4742237/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhang, Cheng-Zhong -- Spektor, Alexander -- Cornils, Hauke -- Francis, Joshua M -- Jackson, Emily K -- Liu, Shiwei -- Meyerson, Matthew -- Pellman, David -- GM083299-18/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM061345/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083299/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 Jun 11;522(7555):179-84. doi: 10.1038/nature14493.

    Serial translocation by means of circular intermediates underlies colour sidedness in cattle (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-02-03
    Description: Colour sidedness is a dominantly inherited phenotype of cattle characterized by the polarization of pigmented sectors on the flanks, snout and ear tips. It is also referred to as 'lineback' or 'witrik' (which means white back), as colour-sided animals typically display a white band along their spine. Colour sidedness is documented at least since the Middle Ages and is presently segregating in several cattle breeds around the globe, including in Belgian blue and brown Swiss. Here we report that colour sidedness is determined by a first allele on chromosome 29 (Cs(29)), which results from the translocation of a 492-kilobase chromosome 6 segment encompassing KIT to chromosome 29, and a second allele on chromosome 6 (Cs(6)), derived from the first by repatriation of fused 575-kilobase chromosome 6 and 29 sequences to the KIT locus. We provide evidence that both translocation events involved circular intermediates. This is the first example, to our knowledge, of a phenotype determined by homologous yet non-syntenic alleles that result from a novel copy-number-variant-generating mechanism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Durkin, Keith -- Coppieters, Wouter -- Drogemuller, Cord -- Ahariz, Naima -- Cambisano, Nadine -- Druet, Tom -- Fasquelle, Corinne -- Haile, Aynalem -- Horin, Petr -- Huang, Lusheng -- Kamatani, Yohichiro -- Karim, Latifa -- Lathrop, Mark -- Moser, Simon -- Oldenbroek, Kor -- Rieder, Stefan -- Sartelet, Arnaud -- Solkner, Johann -- Stalhammar, Hans -- Zelenika, Diana -- Zhang, Zhiyan -- Leeb, Tosso -- Georges, Michel -- Charlier, Carole -- England -- Nature. 2012 Feb 1;482(7383):81-4. doi: 10.1038/nature10757.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Unit of Animal Genomics, GIGA-R & Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Liege, 4000-Liege (Sart Tilman), Belgium.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22297974" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Diverse somatic mutation patterns and pathway alterations in human cancers (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-07-30
    Description: The systematic characterization of somatic mutations in cancer genomes is essential for understanding the disease and for developing targeted therapeutics. Here we report the identification of 2,576 somatic mutations across approximately 1,800 megabases of DNA representing 1,507 coding genes from 441 tumours comprising breast, lung, ovarian and prostate cancer types and subtypes. We found that mutation rates and the sets of mutated genes varied substantially across tumour types and subtypes. Statistical analysis identified 77 significantly mutated genes including protein kinases, G-protein-coupled receptors such as GRM8, BAI3, AGTRL1 (also called APLNR) and LPHN3, and other druggable targets. Integrated analysis of somatic mutations and copy number alterations identified another 35 significantly altered genes including GNAS, indicating an expanded role for galpha subunits in multiple cancer types. Furthermore, our experimental analyses demonstrate the functional roles of mutant GNAO1 (a Galpha subunit) and mutant MAP2K4 (a member of the JNK signalling pathway) in oncogenesis. Our study provides an overview of the mutational spectra across major human cancers and identifies several potential therapeutic targets.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kan, Zhengyan -- Jaiswal, Bijay S -- Stinson, Jeremy -- Janakiraman, Vasantharajan -- Bhatt, Deepali -- Stern, Howard M -- Yue, Peng -- Haverty, Peter M -- Bourgon, Richard -- Zheng, Jianbiao -- Moorhead, Martin -- Chaudhuri, Subhra -- Tomsho, Lynn P -- Peters, Brock A -- Pujara, Kanan -- Cordes, Shaun -- Davis, David P -- Carlton, Victoria E H -- Yuan, Wenlin -- Li, Li -- Wang, Weiru -- Eigenbrot, Charles -- Kaminker, Joshua S -- Eberhard, David A -- Waring, Paul -- Schuster, Stephan C -- Modrusan, Zora -- Zhang, Zemin -- Stokoe, David -- de Sauvage, Frederic J -- Faham, Malek -- Seshagiri, Somasekar -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 12;466(7308):869-73. doi: 10.1038/nature09208.

    Recurrent R-spondin fusions in colon cancer (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-08-17
    Description: Identifying and understanding changes in cancer genomes is essential for the development of targeted therapeutics. Here we analyse systematically more than 70 pairs of primary human colon tumours by applying next-generation sequencing to characterize their exomes, transcriptomes and copy-number alterations. We have identified 36,303 protein-altering somatic changes that include several new recurrent mutations in the Wnt pathway gene TCF7L2, chromatin-remodelling genes such as TET2 and TET3 and receptor tyrosine kinases including ERBB3. Our analysis for significantly mutated cancer genes identified 23 candidates, including the cell cycle checkpoint kinase ATM. Copy-number and RNA-seq data analysis identified amplifications and corresponding overexpression of IGF2 in a subset of colon tumours. Furthermore, using RNA-seq data we identified multiple fusion transcripts including recurrent gene fusions involving R-spondin family members RSPO2 and RSPO3 that together occur in 10% of colon tumours. The RSPO fusions were mutually exclusive with APC mutations, indicating that they probably have a role in the activation of Wnt signalling and tumorigenesis. Consistent with this we show that the RSPO fusion proteins were capable of potentiating Wnt signalling. The R-spondin gene fusions and several other gene mutations identified in this study provide new potential opportunities for therapeutic intervention in colon cancer.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3690621/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3690621/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Seshagiri, Somasekar -- Stawiski, Eric W -- Durinck, Steffen -- Modrusan, Zora -- Storm, Elaine E -- Conboy, Caitlin B -- Chaudhuri, Subhra -- Guan, Yinghui -- Janakiraman, Vasantharajan -- Jaiswal, Bijay S -- Guillory, Joseph -- Ha, Connie -- Dijkgraaf, Gerrit J P -- Stinson, Jeremy -- Gnad, Florian -- Huntley, Melanie A -- Degenhardt, Jeremiah D -- Haverty, Peter M -- Bourgon, Richard -- Wang, Weiru -- Koeppen, Hartmut -- Gentleman, Robert -- Starr, Timothy K -- Zhang, Zemin -- Largaespada, David A -- Wu, Thomas D -- de Sauvage, Frederic J -- R00 CA151672/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA134759/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA134759/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA009138/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Aug 30;488(7413):660-4. doi: 10.1038/nature11282.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Genentech Inc., 1 DNA Way, South San Francisco, California 94080, USA. sekar@gene.com〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22895193" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
