Replication stress causes delayed mitotic entry and chromosome 12 fragility at the ANKS1B large neuronal gene in human induced pluripotent stem cells. Chromosome Res 2023; 31:23. [PMID: 37597021 DOI: 10.1007/s10577-023-09729-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
Substantial background level of replication stress is a feature of embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which can predispose to numerical and structural chromosomal instability, including recurrent aberrations of chromosome 12. In differentiated cells, replication stress-sensitive genomic regions, including common fragile sites, are widely mapped through mitotic chromosome break induction by mild aphidicolin treatment, an inhibitor of replicative polymerases. IPSCs exhibit lower apoptotic threshold and higher repair capacity hindering fragile site mapping. Caffeine potentiates genotoxic effects and abrogates G2/M checkpoint delay induced by chemical and physical mutagens. Using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) for replication labeling, we characterized the mitotic entry dynamics of asynchronous iPSCs exposed to aphidicolin and/or caffeine. Under the adjusted timing of replication stress exposure accounting revealed cell cycle delay, higher metaphase chromosome breakage rate was observed in iPSCs compared to primary lymphocytes. Using differential chromosome staining and subsequent locus-specific fluorescent in situ hybridization, we mapped the FRA12L fragile site spanning the large neuronal ANKS1B gene at 12q23.1, which may contribute to recurrent chromosome 12 missegregation and rearrangements in iPSCs. Publicly available data on the ANKS1B genetic alterations and their possible functional impact are reviewed. Our study provides the first evidence of common fragile site induction in iPSCs and reveals potential somatic instability of a clinically relevant gene during early human development and in vitro cell expansion.

Abstract
Regenerating the injured heart remains one of the most vexing challenges in cardiovascular medicine. Cell therapy has shown potential for treatment of myocardial infarction, but low cell retention so far has limited its success. Here we show that intramyocardial injection of highly apoptosis-resistant unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSC) into infarcted rat hearts resulted in an unprecedented thickening of the left ventricular wall with cTnT+/BrdU+ cardiomyocytes that was paralleled by progressively restored ejection fraction. USSC induced significant T-cell enrichment in ischemic tissue with enhanced expression of T-cell related cytokines. Inhibition of T-cell activation by anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody, fully abolished the regenerative response which was restored by adoptive T-cell transfer. Secretome analysis of USSC and lineage tracing studies suggest that USSC secrete paracrine factors over an extended period of time which boosts a T-cell driven endogenous regenerative response mainly from adult cardiomyocytes.

Saini N, Bheeshmachar G, Sarin A. Sirtuin1 meditated modification of Notch1 intracellular domain regulates nucleolar localization and activation of distinct signaling cascades.

Abstract
Notch signaling is involved in cell fate decisions in the development and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Spatial regulation of the Notch1 intracellular domain (NIC1), has been shown to underpin signaling outcomes mediated by this receptor. We recently reported a putative Nucleolar Localization Sequence (NoLS) in NIC1. Here we investigate if the putative NoLS identified in NIC1 regulates localization in the nucleolus and anti-apoptotic activity. Confocal imaging of live cells expressing NIC1 or forms modified by deletion or site-directed mutagenesis established that the putative NoLS in NIC1 is required for nucleolar localization and regulated by the deacetylase Sirtuin1. Subsequent analysis of anti-apoptotic activity revealed signaling cascades linked to nucleolar localization. For this, etoposide and 4-Nitroquinoline 1-oxide, an inhibitor of topoisomerase-II and a UV mimetic drug respectively, were used as prototypic triggers of genomic damage in a mammalian cell line. While NIC1 blocked apoptosis regardless of its localization to the nucleoplasm or nucleolus, modifications of NIC1 which promoted localization to the nucleolus triggered a dependence on the nucleolar proteins fibrillarin and nucleolin for anti-apoptotic activity. Further, cells co-expressing NIC1 and Sirtuin1 (but not its catalytically inactive form), confirmed both spatial regulation and the switch to dependence on the nucleolar proteins. Finally, site-directed mutagenesis showed that the NoLS lysine residues are targets of Sirtuin1 activity. NIC1 mediated transcription is not similarly regulated. Thus, NIC1 localization to the nucleolus is regulated by Sirtuin1 modification of the lysine residues in NoLS and triggers a distinct signaling cascade involving nucleolar intermediates for anti-apoptotic activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on a synergistic consortium, the cord blood (CB) bank Düsseldorf was responsible for the selection of HLA-homozygous (HLA-h) donors, contacting/re-consenting the mothers, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-grade CD34+ enrichment, followed by short-term expansion of CD34+ cells and qualification of the resulting CD34+ population as advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP)-starting material. Among 20 639 licensed Düsseldorf cord blood units (CBUs), 139 potential HLA-h donors were identified with the most frequent 10 German haplotypes. 100% of the donors were contacted, and for 47·5%, consent was obtained. HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR, -DQ and -DP were determined by sequencing. METHODS Thawing/washing of the CBUs was performed in the presence of Volulyte/HSA with Sepax® , CD34+ selection by automated CliniMACS® -system (Miltenyi), expansion with qualified GMP-grade cytokines and media in the GMP facility. RESULTS Here, we specify minimal criteria (≥5 x 105 viable CD34+ -count, ≥80% CD34+ -purity and ≥70% viability) and confirm that n = 10 CB units (max storage time 16 years) could be qualified for an ATMP starting material. The mean fold change expansion of isolated CD34+ cells at Day 3/4 (d3/4) was 3·38 ± 3·02 with a mean purity of 86·90 ± 10·38% and a high viability of 96·07 ± 4·72%. CONCLUSION As of March 2019, approval was obtained by the Bezirksregierung Düsseldorf for the GMP-compliant production. The production of HLA-homozygous expanded CD34+ cells from cryopreserved CB under European ATMP regulations presented here describes the successful clinical translation and implementation of a qualified manufacturing process. This approach considers the main obstacle of rejection of transplanted cells (due to the immunological HLA barrier) by preselection of HLA-homozygous transplants.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a highly relevant, because often life-threatening, adverse effect of doxorubicin (Doxo)-based anticancer therapy. Here, we investigated the Doxo-response of cardiovascular stem/progenitor cells employing a mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC)-based in vitro differentiation model. Endothelial progenitor cells revealed a pronounced Doxo sensitivity as compared to mESC, differentiated endothelial-like (EC) and cardiomyocyte-like cells (CM) and CM progenitors, which rests on the activation of senescence. Doxo treatment of EC progenitors altered protein expression of individual endothelial markers, actin cytoskeleton morphology, mRNA expression of genes related to mitochondrial functions, autophagy, apoptosis, and DNA repair as well as mitochondrial DNA content, respiration and ATP production in the surviving differentiated EC progeny. By contrast, LDL uptake, ATP-stimulated Ca2+ release, and cytokine-stimulated ICAM-1 expression remained unaffected by the anthracycline treatment. Thus, exposure of EC progenitors to Doxo elicits isolated and persistent dysfunctions in the surviving EC progeny. In conclusion, we suggest that Doxo-induced injury of EC progenitors adds to anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, making this cell-type a preferential target for pharmacoprotective and regenerative strategies.

Abstract
Stem cells are a sub population of cell types that form the foundation of our body, and have the potential to replicate, replenish and repair limitlessly to maintain the tissue and organ homeostasis. Increased lifetime and frequent replication set them vulnerable for both exogenous and endogenous agents-induced DNA damage compared to normal cells. To counter these damages and preserve genetic information, stem cells have evolved with various DNA damage response and repair mechanisms. Furthermore, upon experiencing irreparable DNA damage, stem cells mostly prefer early senescence or apoptosis to avoid the accumulation of damages. However, the failure of these mechanisms leads to various diseases, including cancer. Especially, given the importance of stem cells in early development, DNA repair deficiency in stem cells leads to various disabilities like developmental delay, premature aging, sensitivity to DNA damaging agents, degenerative diseases, etc. In this review, we have summarized the recent update about how DNA repair mechanisms are regulated in stem cells and their association with disease progression and pathogenesis.

Abstract
The epidermis undergoes constant renewal during its lifetime. This is possible due to a special population of keratinocyte stem cells (KSCs) located at the basal layer. These cells are surrounded by their direct progeny, keratinocyte progenitors or transient amplifying cells (TAs), which arise from cell division. Skin is exposed every day to sun radiation; in particular, UVA radiation penetrates through the epidermis and induces damage to KSCs and TAs. Although keratinocytes in the basal layer are the most likely skin carcinomas and/or photoaging cells of origin, surprisingly few studies have addressed the specific responses of these cells to UV radiation. In this study, we showed for the first time that keratinocyte stem cells were more resistant to UVA irradiation than their direct progeny, transient amplifying cells. Using both the MTT assay and clonogenic assay, we found that KSCs were more photo-resistant compared to TAs after exposure to different doses of UVA (from 0 to 50 J/cm2). Moreover, KSCs had a greater ability to reconstruct human epidermis (RHE) after UVA exposure compared with TAs. Finally, investigations of DNA repair using the comet assay showed that DNA single-strand breaks and thymine dimers were repaired quicker and more efficiently in KSCs compared with TAs. In a previous work, we showed that the same stem cell population was more resistant to ionizing radiation, another carcinogenic agent. Collectively, our results combined with other observations demonstrate that keratinocyte stem cells, which are responsible for epidermal renewal throughout life, are equipped with an efficient arsenal against several genotoxic agents. Our future work will try to identify the factors or signaling pathways that are responsible for this differential photo-sensitivity and DNA repair capacity between KSCs and TAs.

Abstract
Chordoma is a rare, radiation-resistant, skull-base and spinal tumor with high local recurrence containing mixed cell-adhesion phenotypes. We characterized DNA damage response (DDR) signaling (γH2AX, pKAP1, pATM) and survival response to ionizing radiation (IR) in human chordoma samples (42 resections, 23 patients) to test if blocking cell adhesion sensitizes U-CH1 tumor cells to IR. U-CH1 cells expressed brachyury, YAP, and laminin adhesion receptors (CD49c, CD49f, CD44), and approximately 15% to 20% of U-CH1 cells featured an α6 integrin-dependent (CD49f) cohesive cluster phenotype, which confers therapeutic resistance and aids metastasis. DDR to IR in U-CH1 cells was compared to normal prostate epithelial (PrEC) and tumor cells (DU145). Flow cytometry showed a dose- and time-dependent increase in γH2AX and pKAP1 expression in all cell lines. However, nearly 50% of U-CH1 cells exhibited nonresponsive phenotype to IR (measured by γH2AX and pKAP1) independent of cell cycle status. Immunofluorescence microscopy verified that only 15% of U-CH1 clustered cells were γH2AX or pKAP1 positive (versus 80% of nonclustered cells) 2 hours following 2-Gy IR. Conversely, both tumor cell lines were uniformly defective in pATM response. HYD1, a synthetic ECM ligand, inhibited DDR through an unresolved γH2AX response. β1 integrin-blocking antibody (AIIB2) decreased cell survival 50% itself and approximately doubled the IR-induced cell kill at all IR doses observed at 2 and 4 weeks posttreatment. These results suggest that a heterogeneity of DDR to IR exists within a chordoma population. Blocking integrin function alone and/or as an adjuvant to IR may eradicate chordomas containing the cohesive cluster phenotype.

Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) hold great promise in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. However, translation of hiPSC technology depends upon a means of assessing hiPSC quality that is quantitative, high‐throughput, and can decipher malignant teratocarcinoma clones from normal cell lines. These attributes are lacking in current approaches such as detection of cell surface makers, RNA profiling, and/or teratoma formation assays. The latter remains the gold standard for assessing clone quality in hiPSCs, but is expensive, time‐consuming, and incompatible with high‐throughput platforms. Herein, we describe a novel method for determining hiPSC quality that exploits pluripotent cells’ documented hypersensitivity to the topoisomerase inhibitor etoposide (CAS No. 33419‐42‐0). Based on a study of 115 unique hiPSC clones, we established that a half maximal effective concentration (EC50) value of <300 nM following 24 hours of exposure to etoposide demonstrated a positive correlation with RNA profiles and colony morphology metrics associated with high quality hiPSC clones. Moreover, our etoposide sensitivity assay (ESA) detected differences associated with culture maintenance, and successfully distinguished malignant from normal pluripotent clones independent of cellular morphology. Overall, the ESA provides a simple, straightforward method to establish hiPSC quality in a quantitative and functional assay capable of being incorporated into a generalized method for establishing a quality control standard for all types of pluripotent stem cells.

Abstract
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) hold great promise in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, functional genomics, toxicological studies and cell-based therapeutics due to their unique characteristics of self-renewal and pluripotency. Novel methods for generation of pluripotent stem cells and their differentiation to the specialized cell types such as neuronal cells, myocardial cells, hepatocytes and beta cells of the pancreas and many other cells of the body are constantly being refined. Pluripotent stem cell derived differentiated cells, including neuronal cells or cardiac cells, are ideal for stem cell transplantation as autologous or allogeneic cells from healthy donors due to their minimal risk of rejection. Radiation-induced DNA damage, ultraviolet light, genotoxic stress and other intrinsic and extrinsic factors triggers a series of biochemical reactions known as DNA damage response. To maintain genomic stability and avoid transmission of mutations into progenitors cells, stem cells have robust DNA damage response signaling, a contrast to somatic cells. Stem cell transplantation may protect against radiation-induced late effects. In particular, this review focuses on differential DNA damage response between stem cells and derived differentiated cells and the possible pathways that determine such differences.
