| Summary |
Telomere dysfunction drives chromosomal instability (CIN) during the transition from benign adenoma to malignant adenocarcinoma. While CIN provides a mutator mechanism for cancer- relevant genomic events, its role in shaping tumor biology during carcinogenesis is not well understood. Here, we explored the molecular and biological impact of telomere dysfunction and associated CIN in vivo in a faithful model of CRC. In vivo lineage tracing revealed that CIN increased the rate of neoplastic cell clonal expansion through accelerated differentiation of neighboring stem cells, resulting in increased number of adenomas and decreased survival in CIN-high Apcmin mice. Mechanistically, CIN represses EZH2 leading to upregulation of secreted Wnt antagonists, which resulted in a growth advantage to CIN-high neoplastic cells. Correspondingly, pharmacological activation of intrinsic WNT signaling enhanced intestinal stem cells fitness, leading to reduced neoplastic cell clonal expansion and adenoma burden. Thus, the CIN-EZH2-WNT axis enhances intestinal cancer initiation in the nascent tumor microenvironment, providing a preventive strategy for patients harboring germline APC mutations.
