    Abstract Here, we present a protocol to perform barcode decay lineage tracing followed by single-cell transcriptome analysis (BdLT-Seq). We describe steps for BdLT-Seq experimental design, building barcoded episome reporters, performing episome transfection, and barcode retrieval. We then describe procedures for sequencing library construction while providing options for sample multiplexing and data analysis. This BdLT-Seq technique enables the assessment of clonal evolution in a directional manner while preserving isogeneity, thus allowing the comparison of non-genetic molecular features between isogenic cell lineages. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Shlyakhtina et al. (2023).

    Abstract Cell plasticity is a core biological process underlying a myriad of molecular and cellular events taking place throughout organismal development and evolution. It has been postulated that cellular systems thrive to balance the organization of meta-stable states underlying this phenomenon, thereby maintaining a degree of populational homeostasis compatible with an ever-changing environment and, thus, life. Notably, albeit circumstantial evidence has been gathered in favour of the latter conceptual framework, a direct observation of meta-state dynamics and the biological consequences of such a process in generating non-genetic clonal diversity and divergent phenotypic output remains largely unexplored. To fill this void, here we develop a lineage-tracing technology termed Barcode decay Lineage Tracing-Seq. BdLT-Seq is based on episome-encoded molecular identifiers that, supported by the dynamic decay of the tracing information upon cell division, ascribe directionality to a cell lineage tree whilst directly coupling non-genetic molecular features to phenotypes in comparable genomic landscapes. We show that cell transcriptome states are both inherited, and dynamically reshaped following constrained rules encoded within the cell lineage in basal growth conditions, upon oncogene activation and throughout the process of reversible resistance to therapeutic cues thus adjusting phenotypic output leading to intra-clonal non-genetic diversity.

    Abstract Cancer development can be defined as a process of cellular and tissular microevolution ultimately leading to malignancy. Strikingly, though this concept has prevailed in the field for more than a century, the precise mechanisms underlying evolutionary processes occurring within tumours remain largely uncharacterized and rather cryptic. Nevertheless, although our current knowledge is fragmentary, data collected to date suggest that most tumours display features compatible with a diverse array of evolutionary paths, suggesting that most of the existing macro-evolutionary models find their avatar in cancer biology. Herein, we discuss an up-to-date view of the fundamental genetic and non-genetic mechanisms underlying tumour evolution with the aim of concurring into an integrated view of the evolutionary forces at play throughout the emergence and progression of the disease and into the acquisition of resistance to diverse therapeutic paradigms. Our ultimate goal is to delve into the intricacies of genetic and non-genetic networks underlying tumour evolution to build a framework where both core concepts are considered non-negligible and equally fundamental.

    Abstract The evolution of organisms has been a subject of paramount debate for hundreds of years and though major advances in the field have been made, the precise mechanisms underlying evolutionary processes remain fragmentary. Strikingly, the majority of the core principles accepted across the many fields of biology only consider genetic information as the major - if not exclusive - biological information carrier and thus consider it as the main evolutionary avatar. However, the real picture appears far more complex than originally anticipated, as compelling data suggest that nongenetic information steps up when highly dynamic evolutionary frameworks are explored. In light of recent evidence, we discuss herein the dynamic nature and complexity of nongenetic information carriers, and their emerging relevance in the evolutionary process. We argue that it is possible to overcome the historical arguments which dismissed these carriers, and instead consider that they are indeed core to life itself as they support a sustainable, continuous source of rapid adaptation in ever-changing environments. Ultimately, we will address the intricacies of genetic and non-genetic networks underlying evolutionary models to build a framework where both core biological information concepts are considered non-negligible and equally fundamental.

    Abstract During the last decade, and mainly primed by major developments in high-throughput sequencing technologies, the catalogue of RNA molecules harbouring regulatory functions has increased at a steady pace. Current evidence indicates that hundreds of mammalian RNAs have regulatory roles at several levels, including transcription, translation/post-translation, chromatin structure, and nuclear architecture, thus suggesting that RNA molecules are indeed mighty controllers in the flow of biological information. Therefore, it is logical to suggest that there must exist a series of molecular systems that safeguard the faithful inheritance of RNA content throughout cell division and that those mechanisms must be tightly controlled to ensure the successful segregation of key molecules to the progeny. Interestingly, whilst a handful of integral components of mammalian cells seem to follow a general pattern of asymmetric inheritance throughout division, the fate of RNA molecules largely remains a mystery. Herein, we will discuss current concepts of asymmetric inheritance in a wide range of systems, including prions, proteins, and finally RNA molecules, to assess overall the biological impact of RNA inheritance in cellular plasticity and evolutionary fitness.

    Abstract Besides its tumor-selective apoptotic activity, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) promotes pro-survival, proliferative or migratory signaling (NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, MAPK and JNK; referred to as 'non-apoptotic' cascades). Indeed, apoptosis and non-apoptotic signaling can be activated in clonal populations of cancer cells in response to treatment and, as a result, only a part of the initial cellular population dies while a fraction survives and develops resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis (referred to as 'fractional survival'). Notably, the molecular characterization of the protein platforms streaming into tumoricidal versus tumor-promoting cascades that control fractional survival remained elusive. Here we demonstrate that, in the context of DR4-DR5-DcR2 hetero-oligomeric complexes, a single death receptor (DR5) suffices to assemble composite plasma membrane-proximal pro-apoptotic/pro-survival platforms that propagate TRAIL signaling to both death and survival pathways in clonal populations of cancer cells. Moreover, we show that while all members of TRAIL-induced complexes support survival, none of them acted exclusively pro-apoptotic. Indeed, key apoptotic proteins as FADD and procaspase-8 were also involved in transducing non-apoptotic signaling in response to this cytokine. Collectively, this study reveals the Janus faces of DR5, and the contributions of other death complex components in fractional survival that foster the generation of resistance. Our data highlight a new level of complexity in TRAIL signaling and point to an improved therapeutic rationale in view of hitherto disappointing results.
