Genetic Screens

5.9K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Human adenocarcinomas display unique mutation and copy-number profiles, indicating varied selective pressures and oncogene dependencies.
  • Understanding these tissue-specific patterns is key to deciphering tumor initiation and progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of in vivo CRISPR activation screening (CRISPRa) in recapitulating oncogene selection during tumor initiation.
  • To identify frequently amplified and mutated genes in autochthonous lung and pancreas cancer models.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized CRISPRa-competent PPKS mice for in vivo screening.
  • Administered pooled lentivirus via intranasal or intraductal delivery.
  • Screened frequently amplified and mutated genes in lung and pancreas cancer models.

Main Results:

  • Observed strong selection for Egfr, Myc, Sox2, and Pik3cb activation in lung tumors.
  • Demonstrated near-complete dominance of Myc activation in pancreatic tumors, highlighting tissue-specific differences.
  • Sox2 activation suppressed Nkx2-1 signaling, driving mucinous lung adenocarcinoma.
  • MYC activation in pancreatic tumors mirrored human PDAC amplification and led to an immune-cold microenvironment.

Conclusions:

  • In vivo CRISPR activation screening accurately captures oncogene selection during tumor initiation.
  • This screening method offers a powerful tool for investigating tumor initiation and progression mechanisms.
  • Findings underscore the critical role of tissue-specific oncogene dependencies in adenocarcinoma development.
