    Abstract The co-occurrence of chromosome 10 loss and chromosome 7 gain in gliomas is the most frequent loss-gain co-aneuploidy pair in human cancers, a phenomenon that has been investigated without resolution since the late 1980s. Expanding beyond previous gene-centric studies, we investigate the co-occurrence in a genome-wide manner taking an evolutionary perspective. First, by mining large tumor aneuploidy data, we predict that the more likely order is 10 loss followed by 7 gain. Second, by analyzing extensive genomic and transcriptomic data from both patients and cell lines, we find that this co-occurrence can be explained by functional rescue interactions that are highly enriched on 7, which can possibly compensate for any detrimental consequences arising from the loss of 10. Finally, by analyzing transcriptomic data from normal, non-cancerous, human brain tissues, we provide a plausible reason why this co-occurrence happens preferentially in cancers originating in certain regions of the brain.

    Abstract Aniridia is a panocular inherited rare eye disease linked to heterozygous mutations on the PAX6 gene, which fail to properly produce sufficient protein essential for normal eye development and function. Most of the patients suffer from aniridia-related keratopathy, a progressive opacification of the cornea. There is no effective treatment for this blinding disease. Here we screen for small compounds and identified Ritanserin, a serotonin 2A receptor antagonist, that can rescue PAX6 haploinsufficiency of mutant limbal cells, defective cell migration and PAX6-target gene expression. We further demonstrated that Ritanserin activates PAX6 production through the selective inactivation of the MEK/ERK signaling pathway. Our data strongly suggest that repurposing this therapeutic molecule could be effective in preventing or treating existing blindness by restoring corneal transparency.

    Abstract Mitotic errors lead to aneuploidy, a condition of karyotype imbalance, frequently found in cancer cells. Alterations in chromosome copy number induce a wide variety of cellular stresses, including genome instability. Here, we show that cancer cells might exploit aneuploidy-induced genome instability and the resulting gene copy-number changes to survive under conditions of selective pressure, such as chemotherapy. Resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs was dictated by the acquisition of recurrent karyotypes, indicating that gene dosage might play a role in driving chemoresistance. Thus, our study establishes a causal link between aneuploidy-driven changes in gene copy number and chemoresistance and might explain why some chemotherapies fail to succeed.
