An APOBEC cytidine deaminase mutagenesis pattern is widespread in human cancers [PDF]
Recent studies indicate that a subclass of APOBEC cytidine deaminases, which convert cytosine to uracil during RNA editing and retrovirus or retrotransposon restriction, may induce mutation clusters in human tumors.

Tumor mutational burden and heterogeneity has been suggested to fuel resistance to many targeted therapies. The cytosine deaminase APOBEC proteins have been implicated in the mutational signatures of more than 70% of human cancers. However, the mechanism

APOBEC-Induced Mutagenesis in Cancer
Annual Review of Genetics, 2022The initiation, progression, and relapse of cancers often result from mutations occurring within somatic cells. Consequently, processes that elevate mutation rates accelerate carcinogenesis and hinder the development of long-lasting therapeutics. Recent sequencing of human cancer genomes has identified patterns of mutations, termed mutation signatures,

APOBEC mediated mutagenesis drives genomic heterogeneity in endometriosis
Journal of Human Genetics, 2022Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic condition, acting as a precursor of certain histological subtypes of ovarian cancers. The epithelial cells of endometriotic tissues and normal uterine endometrium accumulated somatic mutations in cancer-associated genes such as phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) and ...

Genetic modifiers of APOBEC-induced mutagenesis
2023Abstract The cytidine deaminases APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B (A3B) are prominent mutators of human cancer genomes. However, tumor-specific genetic modulators of APOBEC-induced mutagenesis are poorly defined. Here, we utilized a screen to identify 61 gene deletions that increase A3B-induced mutations in yeast.

Analysis of gene expression and mutation data points on contribution of transcription to the mutagenesis by APOBEC enzymes. [PDF]
Abstract Since the discovery of the role of the APOBEC enzymes in human cancers, the mechanisms of this type of mutagenesis remain little understood. Theoretically, targeting of single-stranded DNA by the APOBEC enzymes could occur during cellular processes leading to the unwinding of DNA double-stranded structure.

The role of APOBEC mutagenesis in the progression and therapeutic guidance of pancreatic cancer
APOBEC (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like) family-mediated mutagenesis is widespread in human cancers. However, we still have a limited understanding of the biological features and clinical relevance of APOBEC mutagenesis in cancer, particularly in pancreatic cancer.In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of ...
