Chromothripsis is a common mechanism driving genomic rearrangements in primary and metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract: BackgroundStructural rearrangements form a major class of somatic variation in cancer genomes. Local chromosome shattering, termed chromothripsis, is a mechanism proposed to be the cause of clustered chromosomal rearrangements and was recently described to occur in a small percentage of tumors. The significance of these clusters for tumor development or metastatic spread is largely unclear.ResultsWe used genome-wide long mate-pair sequencing and SNP array profiling to reveal that chromothripsis is a widespread… Show more

“…3). Using NGS technology, chromothripsis has been previously reported in one case of CLL (15) and three cases of colorectal cancer (17), but this precise alignment of SV breakpoints and copy number changes was not described. The mechanism of reconstitution of these fragments of DNA into a complex, highly rearranged fragment of DNA as either an intact, cytogenetically recognizable chromosome or double minute has recently been called chromoanagenesis (28) ("chromo," meaning chromosome, and "anagenesis," meaning reborn).…”

“…L'analyse ultérieure de plus de 700 lignées cancéreuses et de 2 700 tumeurs a permis d'évaluer à 2-3 % la fréquence globale de ces réarrangements massifs dans les tumeurs, avec une incidence particulièrement élevée de 25 % dans les tumeurs osseuses [5]. Rapidement, ce phénomène a été identifié dans d'autres types de cancer, comme les cancers colorectaux [6] et prostatiques [7], les myélomes [8], les neuroblastomes [9] et les lymphomes de Hodgkin [10]. Toutes ces observations ont remis en question les modèles classiques de cancéroge-nèse, basés sur l'acquisition progressive, ou par paliers, de multiples remaniements chromosomiques indépendants les uns des autres, et s'accumulant au fil du temps pour constituer une population de cellules malignes [11].…”

“…Il s'agit de processus simples et rapides de réparation des cassures double-brin qui peuvent être utilisés par la cellule à n'importe quel stade du cycle cellulaire, mais la fidélité de restitution des séquences répa-rées est assez faible. Ce type de réparation a été aussi identifié dans plusieurs exemples de chromothripsis constitutionnels [6,15]. Mais de nombreux cas rapportés se caractérisent par la présence, au niveau des points de cassure, d'inversions, vait favoriser, voire induire, divers phénomènes, comme les fusions télomériques, la décondensation prématurée des chromosomes, la duplication des centrosomes, l'inhibition de l'apoptose et la survie des cellules dont l'ADN est endommagé, qui sont autant de facteurs impliqués dans les scénarios d'apparition du chromothripsis.…”
