Extrachromosomal DNA: Biogenesis and Functions in Cancer

Abstract

In cancer, oncogenes can untether themselves from chromosomes onto circular, extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) particles. ecDNA are common in many of the most aggressive forms of cancer of women and men and of adults and children, and they contribute to treatment resistance and shorter survival for patients. Hiding in plain sight and missing from cancer genome maps, ecDNA was not, until recently, widely recognized to be an important feature of cancer pathogenesis. However, extensive new data demonstrate that ecDNA is a frequent and potent driver of aggressive cancer growth and treatment failure that can arise early or late in the course of the disease. The non-Mendelian genetics of ecDNA lies at the heart of the problem. By untethering themselves from chromosomes, ecDNA are randomly distributed to daughter cells during cell division, promoting high oncogene copy number, intratumoral genetic heterogeneity, accelerated tumor evolution, and treatment resistance due to rapid genome change. Further, the circular shape of ecDNA, and its high level of chromatin accessibility, promotes oncogene transcription and generates unique enhancer–promoter interactions in , as well as cooperative regulatory interactions between ecDNA particles in . In this review, we discuss the state of the field and its implications for patients with oncogene-amplified cancers.
