    Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a genodermatosis defined by cutaneous photosensitivity with an increased risk of skin tumors because of DNA repair deficiency. The worldwide prevalence of XP is ~1 to 4 in million, with higher incidence in some countries and regions including Japan (1 in 22,000) and North Africa due to founder mutations and a high degree of consanguinity. Among XP, the complementation group F (XP-F), is a rare form (1% of worldwide XP); however, this is underdiagnosed, because the ERCC4/XPF gene is essential for fetal development and most of previously reported ERCC4/XPF pathogenic variants are hypomorphs causing relatively mild phenotypes. From the largest Japanese XP cohort study, we report 17 XP-F cases bearing two pathogenic variants, both identified in deep intronic regions of the ERCC4/XPF gene. The first variant, located in intron 1, is a Japanese founder mutation, which additionally accounts for ~10% of the entire Japanese XP cases (MAF = 0.00196), causing an aberrant pre-mRNA splicing due to a miss-binding of U1snRNA. The second mutation located in intron eight induces an alternative polyadenylation. Both mutations cause a reduction of the ERCC4/XPF gene expression, resulting in XP clinical manifestations. Most cases developed early-onset skin cancers, indicating that these variants need critical attention. We further demonstrate that antisense oligonucleotides designed for the mutations can restore the XPF protein expression and DNA repair capacity in the patients' cells. Collectively, these pathogenic variants can be potential therapeutic targets for XP.

    CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing has great potential utility for treating genetic diseases. However, its therapeutic applications are limited by unintended genomic alterations arising from DNA double-strand breaks and random integration of exogenous DNA. In this study, we propose NICER, a method for correcting heterozygous mutations that employs multiple nicks (MNs) induced by Cas9 nickase and a homologous chromosome as an endogenous repair template. Although a single nick near the mutation site rarely leads to successful gene correction, additional nicks on homologous chromosomes strongly enhance gene correction efficiency via interhomolog homologous recombination (IH-HR). This process partially depends on BRCA1 and BRCA2, suggesting the existence of several distinct pathways for MN-induced IH-HR. According to a genomic analysis, NICER rarely induces unintended genomic alterations. Furthermore, NICER restores the expression of disease-causing genes in cells derived from genetic diseases with compound heterozygous mutations. Overall, NICER provides a precise strategy for gene correction.

    Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by progressive encephalopathy, involving microcephaly, intracranial calcification, and cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis with increased interferon-α concentrations. The clinical features of AGS overlap with fetal cerebral anomalies caused by congenital infections, such as TORCH (toxoplasmosis, other, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes), or with those of other genetic disorders showing neonatal microcephaly, including Cockayne syndrome (CS) with transcription-coupled DNA repair deficiency, and Seckel syndrome (SS) showing aberrant cell-cycle checkpoint signaling. Therefore, a differential diagnosis to confirm the genetic cause or a proof of infection should be considered. In this report, we describe an individual who showed primordial dwarfism and encephalopathy, and whose initial diagnosis was CS. First, we conducted conventional DNA repair proficiency tests for the patient derived fibroblast cells. Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) activity, which is mostly compromised in CS cases, was slightly reduced in the patient's cells. However, unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) was significantly diminished. These cellular traits were inconsistent with the diagnosis of CS. We further performed whole exome sequencing for the case and identified a compound heterozygous loss-of-function variants in the SAMHD1 gene, mutations in which are known to cause AGS. As SAMHD1 encodes deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase, we reasoned that the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pool size in the patient's cells was elevated, and the labeling efficiency of UDS-test was hindered due to the reduced concentration of phosphorylated ethynyl deoxyuridine (EdU), a nucleoside analogue used for the assay. In conclusion, UDS assay may be a useful diagnostic tool to distinguish between AGS with SAMHD1 mutations and other related diseases.

    Transcription-blocking DNA lesions (TBLs) in genomic DNA are triggered by a wide variety of DNA-damaging agents. Such lesions cause stalling of elongating RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) enzymes and fully block transcription when unresolved. The toxic impact of DNA damage on transcription progression is commonly referred to as transcription stress. In response to RNA Pol II stalling, cells activate and employ transcription-coupled repair (TCR) machineries to repair cytotoxic TBLs and resume transcription. Increasing evidence indicates that the modification and processing of stalled RNA Pol II is an integral component of the cellular response to and the repair of TBLs. If TCR pathways fail, the prolonged stalling of RNA Pol II will impede global replication and transcription as well as block the access of other DNA repair pathways that may act upon the TBL. Consequently, such prolonged stalling will trigger profound genome instability and devastating clinical features. In this review, we will discuss the mechanisms by which various types of TBLs are repaired by distinct TCR pathways and how RNA Pol II processing is regulated during these processes. We will also discuss the clinical consequences of transcription stress and genotype-phenotype correlations of related TCR-deficiency disorders.

    Cells employ transcription-coupled repair (TCR) to eliminate transcription-blocking DNA lesions. DNA damage-induced binding of the TCR-specific repair factor CSB to RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) triggers RNAPII ubiquitylation of a single lysine (K1268) by the CRL4CSA ubiquitin ligase. How CRL4CSA is specifically directed towards K1268 is unknown. Here, we identify ELOF1 as the missing link that facilitates RNAPII ubiquitylation, a key signal for the assembly of downstream repair factors. This function requires its constitutive interaction with RNAPII close to K1268, revealing ELOF1 as a specificity factor that binds and positions CRL4CSA for optimal RNAPII ubiquitylation. Drug-genetic interaction screening also revealed a CSB-independent pathway in which ELOF1 prevents R-loops in active genes and protects cells against DNA replication stress. Our study offers key insights into the molecular mechanisms of TCR and provides a genetic framework of the interplay between transcriptional stress responses and DNA replication.

    転写と共役したDNA修復機構 (transcription coupled repair: TCR)は、転写が活発に行われている領域に生じたDNA損傷を効率良く修復するシステムであり、生体の恒常性維持に重要なメカニズムである。本研究では、DNA損傷箇所で停止したRNA合成酵素がユビキチン化修飾を受けてTCRを開始・制御する分子機構の詳細解明に取り組むとともに、TCRの破綻により発症するヒト疾患の病態を明らかにすることを目指す。
    転写と共役したDNA修復機構 (transcription coupled repair: TCR)は、転写が活発に行われている領域に生じたDNA損傷を、優先的かつ効率良く修復するシステムであり、生体の恒常性維持に重要なメカニズムである。本研究では、DNA損傷箇所で停止したRNA合成酵素がユビキチン化修飾を受けてTCRを開始・制御する分子機構の詳細解明に取り組むとともに、TCRの破綻により発症するヒト疾患の病態を明らかにすることを目指している。これまでに特殊なChIPseq法を開発し、TCRの進行やDNA損傷誘発後のRNA合成酵素の挙動等をゲノムレベルで解析してきたが、より詳細にTCRの制御メカニズムを理解するため、種々のTCR因子でのChIPseq解析に取り組んだ。適用可能な抗体の探索と検証を実施し、複数種類の抗体が利用可能であることが判明した。これをもとに、紫外線誘発DNA損傷後の種々のTCR因子のChIPseqデータの取得を進めた。また、DNA損傷による転写阻害がもたらす遺伝子発現の撹乱に起因する生体影響を調査するため、樹立済みのTCR欠損モデルマウスを活用して各臓器・組織のRNAseq解析に取り組んだ。さらに、TCRの分子メカニズム解明に向けて、新たな手法での解析を取り入れるため、必要となる遺伝子編集細胞シリーズの作製を進めた。本解析には、複数の変異を組み合わせて持つ細胞を十数種類作製する必要があるため、継続して細胞樹立に取り組む。また、TCR機能の欠損が疑われており疾患原因未同定のヒト症例について解析を行ったところ、いずれも既知の遺伝子異常が疾患原因であることが判明した。
    ChIPseq解析に使用可能な種々のTCR因子抗体を特定し、紫外線誘発DNA損傷後のChIPseqデータの取得を進めており、順調にデータを蓄積している。一連のデータ取得の後に、既存のデータも合わせて比較検討することで、ゲノムレベルでのTCRの評価がより詳細に行える様になると考えられ、順調に進展している。DNA損傷による転写阻害がもたらす遺伝子発現の撹乱に起因する生体影響の調査のため、TCR欠損モデルマウスの各臓器・組織のRNAseq解析に取り組み、着実にデータ取得を進めている。また、新たな解析法導入に向けた遺伝子編集細胞作製を実施し、いくつかの目的細胞は作製完了したほか、他の種類の遺伝子編集細胞についても、良好に作製が進んでいる。これらのことから、本研究は順調に進展していると考えられる。
    ChIPseq解析に適用可能な複数のTCR因子抗体について、継続して紫外線誘発DNA損傷後のChIPseqデータの取得を進める。それぞれの抗体について、DNA損傷誘発後の時間経過ごとに調査を行うことで、修復の過程を追ってゆく。一連のデータ取得後、既存のデータと合わせて検討し、より詳細な評価を行う。これにより、TCRの反応制御と転写再開の時空間的な理解を深める。あわせて、より幅広い種類のDNA損傷の評価を実施するため、特殊なChIPseq法の改良に取り組む。また、TCR欠損モデルマウスの各臓器・組織のRNAseq解析を継続して行うことで、DNA損傷による転写阻害がもたらす遺伝子発現の撹乱に起因する生体影響を評価する。さらに、モデル細胞にて実施している特殊なChIPseq解析をモデルマウスの評価にも応用するため、各種実験条件の検討を進める。また、新たな解析法導入に向けて取り組んでいる遺伝子編集細胞シリーズの作製を推進するほか、TCR欠損が疑われるヒト症例の解析による新規TCR関連因子の探索も継続して行う。

    次世代ゲノム解析技術が普及し、各種疾患の発症原因となっている遺伝子変異同定が急速に進む一方で、意義が明らかでない変異 (Variants of Uncertain Significance: VUSs)のデータも大量に蓄積されてきている。本研究では、ゲノム不安定性を示す遺伝性疾患を対象に、マルチオミクス的アプローチによりVUSの病原性を評価し疾患原因変異を同定する新たな手法を確立するとともに、疾患治療薬候補の探索にも取り組む。
    次世代ゲノム解析技術が普及してきたことにより、各種疾患の発症原因となっている遺伝子変異の同定が急速に進んできた。しかし、同定される変異の多くは、疾患原因である事の確証が得られやすい、エキソン領域あるいはエキソンとイントロンの境界領域に生じたものである。一方、病的意義が明らかでない変異 (Variants of Uncertain Significance: VUSs)のデータも大量に蓄積されてきているが、これらVUSの疾患発症原因としての検証あるいは生物学的な意義付けについては、十分には行われていない。本研究ではゲノム不安定性を示す遺伝性疾患群を対象として、マルチオミクス的アプローチによりVUSの病原性について検討・評価し、疾患原因変異を同定する新たな手法の構築に取り組んでいる。ゲノム不安定性疾患群は、DNA損傷応答やDNA修復機構の先天的な異常により発症する様々な遺伝性疾患を包括しており、多種類の希少な疾患も含まれる。一般的に、次世代ゲノム解析で疾患原因変異が同定されるのは、およそ30-40%程度と言われており、残りの60-70%は発症原因が不明なままである。そこで、次世代ゲノム解析のみでは疾患原因が特定できないゲノム不安定性疾患疑い症例について、VUSの病原性評価により新規疾患原因変異の特定を目指した。また、マルチオミクス的アプローチを応用して、疾患治療薬・緩和薬・予防薬の探索にも取り組んだ。本年度は、初年度の解析にて特定された新規疾患原因変異を標的とした疾患治療薬・緩和薬・予防薬探索を実施し、有力な候補を得たほか、継続した対象症例の収集とVUSの病原性検証を行ったところ、さらに新たな疾患原因変異の同定に成功した。
    初年度の成果にて、ゲノム不安定性を示す遺伝性疾患が疑われる症例で、次世代ゲノム解析のみでは疾患原因変異の同定が困難であったケースを対象に、ゲノム解析で抽出されたVUSについて病原性の検討と評価を実施し、新規疾患原因変異を同定しており、この変異情報をもとにマルチオミクス的アプローチにより疾患治療薬・緩和薬・予防薬探索を実施したところ、有力な候補を得ることに成功した。このことから、本探索法は創薬スクリーニングに活用可能であることが示された。また、継続した対象症例の収集とVUSの病原性検証を行ったところ、追加で新たな疾患原因変異の同定に複数成功している。以上の結果から、本研究課題は順調に進展したと考えられる。
    初年度の成果にて、ゲノム不安定性を示す遺伝性疾患が疑われる症例で、次世代ゲノム解析のみでは疾患原因変異の同定が困難であったケースを対象として、ゲノム解析で抽出されたVUSについて病原性の検討と評価を実施し、新規疾患原因変異を同定している。また、この変異情報をもとにマルチオミクス的アプローチにより疾患治療薬・緩和薬・予防薬探索を実施したところ、有力な候補を得ることにも成功している。これらの情報は広く共有することで、他の遺伝性疾患の原因変異探索や創薬にも貢献可能であると考えられることから、本研究成果を含む論文投稿を進める。

    We analyzed an uncharacterised Cockayne syndrome like patient with normal NER (nucleotide excision repair) activity. We performed next-generation exome sequencing and identified pathogenic mutations in the XRCC4 gene, which encodes a non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) protein required for the ligation process. Our XRCC4 syndrome patient retained normal immune response, although LIG4 syndrome patients usually display immunodeficiency. Fibroblast cell lines derived from the XRCC4 and LIG4 patients showed significant radiation sensitivity. We performed plasmid-based V(D)J recombination assays for the XRCC4 patient cell lines. We are currently establishing model mice to further study molecular pathogeneses of XRCC4 syndrome.
