Nuclear envelope rupture drives genome instability in cancer

Abstract: The nuclear envelope, composed of two lipid bilayers and numerous accessory proteins, has evolved to house the genetic material of all eukaryotic cells. In so doing, the nuclear envelope provides a physical barrier between chromosomes and the cytoplasm. Once believed to be highly stable, recent studies demonstrate that the nuclear envelope is prone to rupture. These rupture events expose chromosomal DNA to the cytoplasmic environment and have the capacity to promote DNA damage. Thus nuclear rupture may be an u… Show more

“…However, this explanation was not suitable for cardiac myocytes, which belong to postmitotic Cells 2020, 9, 712 9 of 14 cells. Several other observations have recently been made that disprove the assertion that invasion of mitochondria to the nucleus occurs when the nuclear membrane is disassembled during mitosis [23][24][25][26].…”

“…The observations, first made already in the middle of the 20th century of mitochondria inside a nucleus, are no longer considered an artifact of electron microscopy technique [42]. On the basis of a great number of immunofluorescence assays in which brief disruption of the nuclear membrane in interphase nuclei was observed in association with various diseases and abnormal conditions [18,[22][23][24][25] as well as in healthy cells [26,43], the presence of mitochondria in the nucleoplasm is usually considered as a result of catastrophic loss of the barrier function of the nuclear membrane that might be a contributing factor of disease progression [44]. In some reports, the penetration of mitochondria into the nucleus was believed to occur due only to a mechanical process [12,44].…”

“…The nuclear envelope (NE) is a bi-layer membrane that separates the nucleus with the chromosomes from the rest of the cellular compartments [10] and contains a large number of membrane proteins with sophisticated roles and functions [11][12][13][14]. The structure and condition of the NE is of huge importance as it has been related to viral infections [15][16][17][18][19], Muscular dystrophy [20], Cancer [21][22][23][24][25], Osteoporosis [26], Cardiovascular diseases [27][28][29], other diseases [30][31][32], and ageing [33][34][35]. Therefore, algorithms for the segmentation, visualisation and analysis of the NE could provide parameters to understand the conditions of health and disease of a cell.…”

“…Thus while in some cell types nuclear shape and genome organization are robust to deformation, in other cell types the nucleus is highly deformable.The importance of maintaining nuclear shape for cell, tissue, and organism homeostasis is highlighted by the fact that changes in nuclear morphology and genome organization are associated with cancer 4, 26 . For example, nuclear rupture is frequently an oncogenic event 27,28 . Indeed, pathologists have used nuclear shape as a diagnostic for over a century 29 .…”
