Off-target cleavage by Cas9 can confound measurements of cell proliferation/viability in CRISPR assays by eliciting a DNA-damage response that includes cell cycle arrest1-3. This gene-independent toxicity has been documented in large scale assays2-4 and shown to be a source of false-positives when libraries are populated by promiscuous guide RNAs (gRNAs)7. To address this, we developed CSC, a computational method to correct for the effect of specificity on gRNA depletion. We applied CSC to screening data from the Cancer Dependency Map and show that it significantly improves the specificity of CRISPR-Cas9 essentiality screens while preserving known gene essentialities even for genes targeted by highly pro-miscuous guides. We packaged CSC in a Python software to allow its seamless integration into current CRISPR analysis pipelines and improve the sensitivity of essentiality screens for repetitive genomic loci.

Abstract In addition to the ARF/p53 pathway, the DNA damage response (DDR) has been recognized as another oncogene-provoked anticancer barrier in early human tumorigenesis leading to apoptosis or cellular senescence. DDR mutations may promote tumor formation, but their impact on treatment outcome remains unclear. In this study, we generated ataxia telangiectasia mutated (Atm)–proficient and -deficient B-cell lymphomas in Eμ-myc transgenic mice to examine the role of DDR defects in lymphomagenesis and treatment sensitivity. Atm inactivation accelerated development of lymphomas, and their DNA damage checkpoint defects were virtually indistinguishable from those observed in Atm+/+-derived lymphomas that spontaneously inactivated the proapoptotic Atm/p53 cascade in response to Myc-evoked reactive oxygen species (ROS). Importantly, acquisition of DDR defects, but not selection against the ARF pathway, could be prevented by lifelong exposure to the ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in vivo. Following anticancer therapy, DDR-compromised lymphomas displayed apoptotic but, surprisingly, no senescence defects and achieved a much poorer long-term outcome when compared with DDR-competent lymphomas treated in vivo. Hence, Atm eliminates preneoplastic lesions by converting oncogenic signaling into apoptosis, and selection against an Atm-dependent response promotes formation of lymphomas with predetermined treatment insensitivity.

ABSTRACTPericentromeric human satellite II (HSATII) repeats are normally silent, but can be actively transcribed in tumor cells, where increased HSATII copy number is associated with a poor prognosis in colon cancer, and in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-infected cells, where the RNA facilitates viral replication. Here, we report that HCMV infection or treatment of ARPE-19 diploid epithelial cells with the DNA-damaging agents, etoposide and zeocin, induced HSATII RNA expression, and a kinase-independent function of ATM was required for the induction. Additionally, various breast cancer cell lines growing in adherent, 2-dimensional cell culture expressed HSATII RNA at different levels, and levels were markedly increased when cells were either infected with HCMV or treated with zeocin. High levels of HSATII RNA expression correlated with enhanced migration of breast cancer cells, and knockdown of HSATII RNA reduced cell migration and the rate of cell proliferation. Our investigation links high expression of HSATII RNA to the DNA damage response, centered on a non-canonical function of ATM, and demonstrates a role for the satellite RNA in tumor cell proliferation and movement.SIGNIFICANCEHSATII RNA is associated with cancer progression, immunostimulation and, as we recently reported, it plays an important role in herpesvirus infections. However, the understanding of cellular processes responsible for the expression of HSATII RNA has been limited. Our current investigation identified a non-canonical, ATM kinase-independent DNA-damage response pathway as a common cellular mechanism regulating HSATII RNA induction in virus-infected cells or cells treated with DNA-damaging agents. Additionally, our study provides a link between expression of HSATII RNA and the cellular growth and migration phenotypes of cancer cells, establishing a new paradigm to study the biological consequences of HSATII RNA expression, i.e., treatment of normal diploid and tumor cells with DNA-damaging agents.
