1 Genetic modifications: from cells to organisms As an example: studying anti-cancer therapy resistance in genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) Sven Rottenberg Institute of Animal Pathology Images and graphs are from multiple sources and were partly altered to serve educational purposes. Many images are from Alberts. All material for internal usage during Summer School only. NOT to be distributed outside of Summer School 2017.
2 Cancer is a complex disease Oncogenes Tumor suppressor genes Blood lymph Metastasis Normal cells Primary tumor Immune cells Stroma Angiogenesis WT cells
3 but we have substantial knowledge about what causes cancer
4 and we have powerful weapons to target cancer
5 The painful truth (human medicine) Most cancer patients who have disseminated cancers cannot be cured and cancer is not easily turned into a chronic disease
6 The painful truth (human medicine) Most cancer patients who have disseminated cancers cannot be cured and cancer is not easily turned into a chronic disease The metastatic tumors are eventually resistant to all anti-cancer therapies available
7 The painful truth (human medicine) Most cancer patients who have disseminated cancers cannot be cured and cancer is not easily turned into a chronic disease The metastatic tumors are eventually resistant to all anti-cancer therapies available Therapy resistance remains the major handicap in cancer treatment
8 What about veterinary medicine? Most animals with inoperable, disseminated or locally recurrent cancers are euthanized Systemic anti-cancer therapy is less common
9 What about veterinary medicine? Most animals with inoperable, disseminated or locally recurrent cancers are euthanized Systemic anti-cancer therapy is less common Nevertheless... More and more pet owners want their vets to apply local or systemic anti-cancer therapy to try to cure the animals or at least significantly increase survival
10 The clinical hurdle of anti-cancer therapy resistance will become more relevant in veterinary medicine What about veterinary medicine? Most animals with inoperable, disseminated or locally recurrent cancers are euthanized Systemic anti-cancer therapy is less common Nevertheless... More and more pet owners want their vets to apply local or systemic anti-cancer therapy to try to cure the animals or at least significantly increase survival

20 Which mouse model to choose to study drug resistance??
21 Xenografts of human cell lines: the classical way to study tumor responses in vivo Human cancer Tumor cell culture Tumor cell line xenograft Tumor cell line 21 Tumor cell injection IMMUNO- -DEFICIENT ANIMALS Advantage: high reproducibility because of clonal cell; genetic targeting in vitro Disadvantage: loss of morphology, selection of a single clone on plastic which does not represent the original tumor Courtesy of M.F. Poupon
22 There are substantial differences between real tumors in patients and cell line-derived models Real human tumors (ovarian cancer) Cell line-derived models Gillet J et al. PNAS 2011;108:
23 Xenografts of human cell lines: the classical way to study tumor responses in vivo Human cancer Tumor cell culture Tumor cell line xenograft Tumor cell line 23 Tumor cell injection IMMUNO- -DEFICIENT ANIMALS Advantage: high reproducibility because of clonal cell; genetic targeting in vitro Disadvantage: loss of morphology, selection of a single clone on plastic which does not represent the original tumor Courtesy of M.F. Poupon
24 A second choice: Patient-derived tumor Xenograft (PDX) Human cancer tumor xenograft Tumor cell culture Direct tumor transplantation Tumor cell line xenograft Tumor cell line Tumor cell injection IMMUNO- -DEFICIENT ANIMALS Major improvement: morphology is kept, more similar genomic profiles Remaining disadvantages: genetic targeting of tumors is not easy and tumors are in carried in immunodeficient mice Courtesy of M.F. Poupon 24
25 A third choice: reproducing sporadic human cancer in mice by genetical engineering sporadic cancer controlled switching conventional transgenic/knockout controlled switching of multiple mutations Epithelial cell with 1 mutation Mutagen/radiation Epithelial cell with 2 mutations Epithelial cell with 3 or more mutations (invasive) Controlled switching
26 How are transgenic and knockout mice made?
27 The zygote route: Modification of the mouse germ line via transgenesis Oocyte donor DNA injection into fertilized oocytes Implantation into oviduct Tissue-specific promoter Coding sequences with intron Poly-A signal 10-20% transgenic offspring
28 Properties of transgenic mice Transgenesis is quick-and-dirty Quick: transgenic mice can be generated within 1-3 months Dirty: transgene integrates random into the host genome: Expression may depend on integration site Variable number of concatenated transgene copies integrate Integration may disrupt host genes
29 The CRISPR/Cas9 revolution Repair through NHEJ introduces random insertions/deletions, which potentially disrupts the reading frame
30 Background - why is CRISPR/Cas9 so revolutionizing? To really prove a specific mechanism we usually want to target a gene (product) of interest The challenge: How to target a gene? - RNAi: no complete deletion, off-target effects - Gene targeting using homologous recombination (in embryonic stem cells): not very efficient, long procedure, only one allele changed. - Gene trapping (random integration): tedious selection procedure, off-target effects, only one allele targeted - dominant negative mutants: does not always work; same effect as knock-out? - inhibitors / antibodies that target the protein: really specific? CRISPR-Cas9 provides a new tool to target a gene of interest
31 History of CRISPR/Cas9 discovery
32 Repeated elements with common features interspersed by non-repetitive spacers in multiple organisms
33 Coining the term CRISPR, realization of common CRISPR upstream regions and Cas genes Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
34 Spacers contain phage sequences and strains carrying these are resistant to phages
35 Spacers contain phage sequences and strains carrying these are resistant to phages
36 The spacers can be used to program resistance
37 Bacterial adaptive immune systems Step 1: Programming
38 Bacterial adaptive immune systems Step 2: RNA Transcription and processing
39 Streptococcus pyogenes SpCas9 Type II CRISPR system PAM: Protospacer Adjacent Motif Distinguishes self from non-self In SpCas9: NGG =grna, sgrna
40 Explosion of high-impact papers
41 Cas9/CRISPR knockouts Proper repair by HR or NHEJ Or, when offering repair template (oligo, plasmid), Specific mutations or knock-ins can be made Deleterious repair by NHEJ
42 Additional Applications Multiple grnas Mutant Cas9 / CRISPRi Combined
43 Cell 153, , May 9, 2013
44 The zygote route: Targeted mutations due to CRISPR/Cas9 technology
45 The zygote route: Targeted mutations due to CRISPR/Cas9 technology Creation of frameshift or point mutations in one or more genes simultaneously in an early embryo Introduction of a specific knock-in allele or conditional knockout allele No in vitro steps are required Easy screening of founder animals using PCR or Southern blotting Substantial gain in time: the design and cloning of CRISPR constructs is fast and easy; only in the case of transgene integration does cloning of the accompanying targeting construct demand time
46 The conventional embryonic stem cell (ESC) route: Modification of the mouse germ line via gene targeting in ESCs Blastocyst donor Implantation into oviduct Foster ICM Blastocyst ICM ES cells Injection into blastocysts Chimeric mice ~ ~ Chromosomal DNA x PGK neo pa Targeting vector F1 ~ PGK neo pa ~ Knock-out allele ES cell mice
47 The conventional embryonic stem cell (ESC) route: Modification of the mouse germ line via gene targeting in ESCs Blastocyst donor Implantation into oviduct Foster ICM Blastocyst ICM ES cells Injection into blastocysts Chimeric mice Multiple gene targeting using CRISPR/Cas9 x F1 Cell 153, , May 9, 2013 ES cell mice
48 Properties of targeted mutations via ESCs Targeted mutagenesis via ESCs is slow and precise Slow: generation of mice with targeted mutations takes 6-12 months Precise: mutations are targeted to a defined site in the mouse genome No variation in expression No variation in copy number No variation in integration site
49 Overview of genetic modifications in mice Huijbers et al. Nat Protoc Nov;10(11):
50 Properties of conventional transgenic onco-mice The transgene-promoter determines in which organ tumors will develop: MMTV-Myc: mammary tumors Eμ-Myc: lymphoid tumors Transgenic onco-mice do not mimic sporadic cancer: Transgene is expressed in many cells simultaneously: Transgene is early expressed (often already during embryogenesis) Transgenic mice often develop many tumor simultaneously
51 Limitations of "conventional" tumor suppressor (TS) gene knockouts Many TS gene knockouts are embryonic lethal (e.g. Rb, APC, BRCA1/2, Nf2, VHL, Pten, E-cadherin) Viable TS gene knockouts often develop distinct tumors (e.g. lymphomas and sarcomas in p53 knockouts) Conventional TS gene knockouts do not recapitulate sporadic tumor formation in humans: No interaction with normal cells No control over timing: Mutations present in germline Mutations might trigger compensatory pathways
52 A third choice: reproducing sporadic human cancer in mice by genetical engineering sporadic cancer controlled switching conventional transgenic/knockout controlled switching of multiple mutations Epithelial cell with 1 mutation Mutagen/radiation Epithelial cell with 2 mutations Epithelial cell with 3 or more mutations (invasive) Controlled switching
