Abstract:
In this review, we discuss new emerging medical applications of the rapidly evolving field of mammalian synthetic biology. We start with simple mammalian synthetic biological components and move towards more complex and therapy-oriented gene circuits. A comprehensive list of ON–OFF switches, categorized into transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational and post-translational, is presented in the first sections. Subsequently, Boolean logic gates, synthetic mammalian oscillators and toggle switches will be described. Several synthetic gene networks are further reviewed in the medical applications section, including cancer therapy gene circuits, immuno-regulatory networks, among others. The final sections focus on the applicability of synthetic gene networks to drug discovery, drug delivery, receptor-activating gene circuits and mammalian biomanufacturing processes.

Abstract:
Synthetic biology is advancing the design of genetic devices that enable the study of cellular and molecular biology in mammalian cells. These genetic devices use diverse regulatory mechanisms to both examine cellular processes and achieve precise and dynamic control of cellular phenotype. Synthetic biology tools provide novel functionality to complement the examination of natural cell systems, including engineered molecules with specific activities and model systems that mimic complex regulatory processes. Continued development of quantitative standards and computational tools will expand capacities to probe cellular mechanisms with genetic devices to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the cell. In this study, we review synthetic biology tools that are being applied to effectively investigate diverse cellular processes, regulatory networks, and multicellular interactions. We also discuss current challenges and future developments in the field that may transform the types of investigation possible in cell biology.

The emergent field of synthetic biology is different from many other biological engineering efforts, in that its roots, design principles, and forward engineering perspective have been adopted from electrical engineering and computer science. Synthetic biology is uniquely poised to make great contributions to numerous fields such as bio-fuel, energy production, agriculture and eco-remediation, national defense, and biomedical and tissue engineering. Considerable progress has been made in engineering novel genetic circuits in many different organisms. However, not much progress has been made toward developing a formal methodology to engineer complex genetic systems in mammalian cells. One of the most promising areas of research is the study of embryonic and adult stem cells. Synthetic biology has the potential to greatly impact the progression and development of research in this area of study. A critical impediment to the development of stem cell engineering is the innate complexity, little to no characterization of parts, and limited compositional predictive capabilities. In this thesis, I discuss the strategies used for constructing and optimizing the performance of signaling pathways, the development of a large mammalian genetic part and circuit library, and the characterization and implementation of novel genetic parts and components aimed at developing a foundation for mammalian synthetic biology. I have designed and tested several orthogonal strategies aimed at cell-cell communication in mammalian cells. I have designed a characterization framework for the complete and proper characterization of genetic parts that allows for modular predictive composition of genetic circuits. With this characterization framework I have generated a small library of characterized parts and composite circuits that have well defined input-output relationships that can be used in novel genetic architectures. I also aided in the development of novel analysis and computational tools necessary for accurate predictive composition of these novel circuits. This work collectively provides a foundation for engineering complex intracellular transcriptional networks and intercellular signaling systems in mammalian cells.

The field of synthetic biology aims to control cellular behavior using programmable gene circuits. Generally these gene circuits sense molecular biomarkers, process these inputs and execute a desired calculated response. This is especially relevant for gene and cell therapies where integrating multiple disease-related inputs and/or sophisticated control could lead to safer and more effective approaches. While mammalian synthetic biology has made great progress, few gene circuit-based therapies have entered the clinic. Regulatory issues aside, this lag may be due to several technical impediments. First, the computing part of circuits is often accomplished via transcriptional regulation, which presents challenges as we move toward the clinic. Second, the field relies on a limited set of sensors; the detection of other types of disease biomarkers will help robustly identify cell state.
Finally, the design cycle currently used to develop gene circuits is laborious and slow, which is not suitable for clinical development, especially applications in personalized medicine. In this thesis I describe how I address these three limitations. I develop a new posttranscriptional regulation platform based on RNA cleavage that I term "PERSIST" (Programmable Endonucleolytic RNA Scission-Induced Stability Tuning). CRISPR-specific endonucleases are adapted as RNA-level regulators for the platform and we demonstrate several genetic devices including cascades, feedback, logic functions and a bistable switch. I explore sensor designs for relevant biomolecules including mRNAs, miRNAs and proteins via the PERSIST and other platforms. Finally, I present a "poly-transfection" method, associated advanced data analysis pipelines, and computational models that make circuit engineering faster and more predictive.
Taken together, the expanded RNA toolkit that the PERSIST platform offers as well as advancements in sensing and circuit design will enable the more straightforward creation of robust gene circuits for gene and cell therapies.

Synthetic biologists seek to collect, refine, and repackage nature so that it's easier to design new and reliable biological systems, typically at the cellular or multicellular level. These redesigned systems are often referred to as "biological circuits," for their ability to perform operations on biomolecular signals, rather than electrical signals, and for their aim to behave as predictably and modularly as would integrated circuits in a computer. In natural and synthetic biological systems, the abstraction of these circuits' behaviors to digital computation is often appropriate, especially in decision-making settings wherein the output is selected to coordinate a discrete set of outcomes, e.g. developmental networks or disease-state classication circuits. However, there are challenges in engineering entire genetic systems that mimic digital logic.
Biological molecules do not generally exist at only two possible concentrations but vary over an analog range of concentrations, and are ordinarily uncompartmentalized in the cell. As a result, scaling biological circuits which rely on digital logic schemes can prove difficult in practice. Neuromorphic devices represent a promising computing paradigm which aims to reproduce desirable, high-level characteristics inspired by how the brain processes information - features like tunable signal processing and resource ecient scaling. They are a versatile substrate for computation, and, in engineered biological systems, marry the practical benefits of digital and analog signal processing. As the decision-making intelligence of engineered-cell therapies, neuromorphic gene circuits could replace digital logic schemes with a modular and reprogrammable analog template, allowing for more sophisticated computation using fewer resources.
This template could then be adapted either externally or autonomously in long-term single cell medicine. Here, I describe the implementation of in-vivo neuromorphic circuits in human cell culture models as a proof-of-concept for their application to personalized medicine. While biology has long served as inspiration for the artificial intelligence community, this work will help launch a new, interactive relationship between the two fields, in which nature offers more to AI than a helpful metaphor. Synthetic biology provides a rigorous framework to actively probe how learning systems work in living things, closing the loop between traditional machine learning and naturally intelligent systems. This thesis offers a starting point from which to pursue cell therapeutic strategies and multi-step genetic differentiation programs, while exposing the inherent learning capabilities of biology (e.g., self-repair, operation in noisy environments, etc.).
Simultaneously, the results included lay groundwork to analyze the role of machine learning in medicine, where its difficult interpretability contradicts the need to guarantee stable, safe, and efficacious therapies. This thesis should not only spur future research in the use of these approaches for personalized medicine, but also broaden the landscape of academics who nd interest in and relevance to its concerns.

Abstract:
Given the explosion in human genetic data, new high-throughput genetic methods are necessary for studying variants and elucidating their role in human disease. In Chapter I, I will expand on this concept and describe current methods for genetically modifying human cells. In E. coli, Multiplex Automatable Genome Engineering (MAGE) is a powerful tool that enables the targeting of multiple genomic loci simultaneously with synthetic oligos that are recombined at high frequencies in an optimized strain. MAGE as a method has two components: organism-specific optimization of oligo recombination parameters and a protein capable of increasing recombination frequencies.

Abstract:
Una de las preguntas sin resolver en la biologia celular, es como las células mamíferas logran generar patrones estables como organos o seres vivos, en un entorno variable. El concepto matemático del bucle de retreoalimentación, es una herramienta que puede generar orden. En esta tesis, presento dos proyectos que forman parte de una idea iterativa para recrear patrones biológicos sintéticamente en células mamíferas. En la primera parte, presento la creación de una linea celular que funge como detector de niveles de la hormona HGF a través de una reportero transcripcional. En la segunda parte, demuestro la reprogramación de esta células con fin de producir HGF en respuesta a HGF, en efecto creando un bucle de retroalimentación positivo. En ambos proyectos, utilizo microscopia cuantitativa espaciotemporal para analyzar y medir la evolución dinámica de las células en respuesta a un estímulo de HGF.
One unanswered riddle in biology is how can mammalian cells organize to generate ordered patterns such as organs and living beings, in an ever changing environment. An underlying mathematical principle for the generation of order is given by feedback motifs. Here, I present two projects which are part of an effort to recreate stable ordered patterns in a cellular system through information encoded in DNA. In the first part, I present a receiver mammalian cell line which can accurately sense the diffusible Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) through a transcriptional reporter. In the second part I reprogrammed this cell line so that it produces more HGF in response to HGF, in effect creating an autocatalytic positive feedback. In both cases, I have used spatiotemporal quantitative microscopy analysis to monitor the dynamic evolution of the cell lines in response to a HGF stimulus.

Abstract:
Topoisomerase 2α (Topo2α) is an essential protein with DNA decatenating enzymatic properties, indispensable for chromosome decatenation and segregation. It is a target for a plethora of antitumour drugs and Topo2α protein levels have been associated with the success of treatment, but also drug resistance and secondary malignancies. Although unique in its ability to resolve catenated chromosomes, the role of Topo2α in other steps of DNA metabolism, such as DNA replication elongation and termination have been elusive. A thorough understanding of the role of Topo2α in the cell will not only allow for increased insight into the mechanisms it is involved in, but it will also shed light on proteins and pathways that can act as back-up in its absence, and therefore hopefully expand the basis on which to improve treatment options. Through a synthetic lethal interaction (SLI) screen with an siRNA library targeting 200 DNA repair and signalling genes, Topo2α emerged as being synthetic lethal to Werner protein (WRN), a RecQ helicase involved in maintaining genome integrity mainly in S phase, and the loss of which leads to Werner Syndrome (WS), a segmental progeroid syndrome. The screen was performed in WRN deficient cells, with the initial aim to find proteins that act to buffer against loss of viability, which is the central idea in the concept of synthetic lethality in the absence of WRN. The screen revealed an SLI between WRN and Topo2α and although we were unable to fully validate this, it spurred the question of Topo2α’s role in DNA replication. The findings in this thesis suggest that Topo2α is not required for DNA elongation and timely completion of S phase, and that simultaneous loss of the closely related isoform Topo2β does not affect replication, suggesting that these proteins do not act in parallel back-up pathways during replication. Interestingly, cells accumulate in the polyploid fraction after both depletion and inhibition of Topo2α, albeit with different kinetics. The mechanistic basis of this phenotype remains to be understood through further research, but it is highly interesting as aneuplidity and polyploidy are implicated in the initial stages of tumour development.

Abstract:
La biologie synthétique des mammifères a le potentiel de permettre la mise au point de nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques, la découverte de nouvelles méthodes d'identification de médicaments et la facilitation de synthèse de nouvelles molécules à haute valeur ajoutée. Toutefois, notre capacité à programmer les cellules est extrêmement limitée à la fois par un manque de technologies adaptées au design, la construction et le screening des circuits génétiques, mais aussi par la complexité des systèmes mammifères. Pour répondre à ces problèmes, j'ai travaillé sur la mise au point de nouvelles approches pendant mon doctorat. Tout d'abord, j'ai créée une nouvelle plateforme 1) d'assemblage modulaire et combinatoire de circuits génétiques mammifères comprenant plusieurs unités de transcription et 2) d'intégration de ces circuits dans un locus spécifique des chromosomes mammifères. Ensuite, j'ai développé une autre plateforme pour identifier et caractériser de nouvelles sérine-recombinases à partir dE génomes séquencés de Mycobactériophages afin d'étendre le spectre des outils disponibles pour l'ingénierie des génomes mammifères. Enfin, j'ai développé deux nouveaux systèmes artificiels de communication intercellulaire pour les systèmes mammifères afin de faciliter le découplage spatial des différents modules d'un circuit génétique synthétique
Mammalian synthetic biology may provide novel therapeutic strategies, help decipher new paths for drug discovery and facilitate synthesis of valuable molecules. Yet, our capacity to program cells is currently hampered both by the lack of efficient approaches to streamline the design, construction and screening of synthetic gene networks, and also by the complexity of mammalian systems and our poor understanding of cellular processes context¬dependencies. To address these problems, I proposed and validated a number of concepts and approaches during my PhD. First, I created a framework for modular and combinatorial assembly of functional (multi)gene expression vectors and their efficient and specific targeted integration into a well-defined chromosomal context in mammalian cells. Second, I developed a platform to identify and characterize new serine reconnbinase systems from Mycobacteriophage genomes in order to extend the toolbox of genome engineering techniques available for mammalian cells progranning. To overcome the apparent limitations in our single-tell rational engineering capacity, I also engineered two new artificial intercellular communication systems for mammalian cells, in order to facilitate the spatial decoupling of different modules of a synthetic circuit. Even though we are still years away from therapies using engineered cells carrying synthetic circuits to repair damaged or non-functional organs or to create de-novo tissues, I believe the contributions developed during the course of my PhD could potentially be used to help fasten the development of therapeutically relevant DNA circuits or to provide new means to understand mechanisms of cellular processes.

Full text
Abstract:
Engineering self-organised spatial patterns based on reaction-diffusion models can be the stepping stone for tissue engineering. Previous reports based on both theoretical and experimental studies have implied the importance of ultrasensitivity and differential diffusion as key requirements for building self-organised spatial patterns on mammalian cells with extracellular signalling systems. In the sender-receiver system developed by our team using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cysts and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) signalling, I have explored the sensitivity of different genes to varying doses of HGF to find ultrasensitive regulatory functions. I have successfully found 12 candidate genes, the regulatory function of which can be used for downstream engineering. I have also developed a fusion protein of HGF, fused to Streptavidin (HGF-SA), that has an apparent 90 times slower diffusion rate in collagen type I extracellular matrix compared to HGF. These well characterised parts can be used to form combined positive and negative feedback loops. Integration and expression of this gene regulatory network in the MDCK genome, using modern genome engineering tools, can potentially allow MDCK cysts to communicate with each other and to form self-organised periodic patterns. These are predicted to have wavelengths of approximately 6 mm, on a field of about 1000 randomly distributed cysts, over a period of 5 days. This study extends our knowledge of the spatiotemporal control of growth and development of MDCK cysts and hence could lead to extending our ability in engineering tissues.
La ingeniería de patrones espaciales auto-organizados basados en modelos de reacción-difusión puede ser el trampolín para la ingeniería de tejidos. Informes anteriores basados en estudios teóricos y experimentales han implicado la importancia de la ultrasensibilidad y la difusión diferencial como requisitos clave para la construcción de patrones espaciales auto-organizados en las células de mamíferos con sistemas de señalización extracelular. En el sistema receptor remitente que hemos desarrollado utilizando quistes de riñones caninos Madin-Darby (MDCK) y la señalización por factor de crecimiento de hepatocitos (HGF), he explorado la sensibilidad de diferentes genes a diferentes dosis de HGF para encontrar funciones reguladoras ultrasensibles. Con este análisis, he encontrado con éxito 12 genes candidatos, cuya función reguladora se puede utilizar en posteriores procesos de ingeniería. También he explorado distintas fusiones de proteína con HGF y he encontrado que el mejor candidato es la fusión con Streptavidina (HGF-SA). Esta proteína de fusión tiene una tasa de difusión aparente, en la matriz extracelular de colágeno tipo I, 90 veces más lenta en comparación con el HGF. Estas partes bien caracterizadas pueden usarse para formar bucles de retroalimentación positivos y negativos combinados. La integración y expresión de esta red reguladora de genes en el genoma MDCK, utilizando las herramientas modernas de ingeniería de genoma, potencialmente puede permitir que los quistes MDCK se comuniquen entre sí y formen patrones periódicos auto-organizados. Se predice que tienen longitudes de onda de aproximadamente 6 mm, en un campo de aproximadamente 1000 quistes distribuidos aleatoriamente, durante un periodo de 5 días. Este estudio extiende nuestro conocimiento del control espacio-temporal del crecimiento y desarrollo de los quistes MDCK y, por lo tanto, podría contribuir en la mejora de la ingeniería de tejidos.

Full text
Abstract:
The biogenesis of ribosomes is a fundamental process that occurs in all living cells. In mammalian cells, it is a highly complex process consisting of the coordinated synthesis and assembly of four ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) with about 80 ribosomal proteins (RPs). More than 150 non-ribosomal proteins are involved in the processing of rRNAs. The main focus of this project is to use adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (ARVCs) as a model to address how mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and other signalling pathways regulate the synthesis of rRNAs. A new technique has been developed to monitor the synthesis of new rRNAs using 4-thiouridine (4-SU) and I have applied it in both HeLa cells and heart muscle cells to study the control of ribosome synthesis. HeLa cells were treated with different mTOR inhibitors to identify effects on the transcription and/or decay of rRNA. We analysed both the synthesis rate and the decay rate of new RNAs made by Pol I and Pol III using real-time RT-PCR. Interestingly, rapamycin not only blocked the synthesis of 18S, 28S and 5S rRNA, but also induced the decay of newly synthesized rRNAs. This demonstrates that mTORC1 regulates Pol I and Pol III transcription, as well as the decay of rRNA. In cardiomyocytes, hypertrophic agents such as phenylephrine (PE) strongly activate protein synthesis and lead to heart cell growth. The boost of protein synthesis drives the increase of cell size and leads to hypertrophy. Cardiac hypertrophy (CH) is a major risk factor for heart failure. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms that how hypertrophic agents which cause the overgrowth of heart muscle increase ribosome production. Although it is known that inhibiting mTORC1 largely blocks the rapid activation of protein synthesis by PE, here it did not affect the synthesis of new 18S rRNAs. However, inhibitors of the MEK/Erk pathway and p90RSK each block the new rRNA synthesis. These data reveal that, in contrast to many other types of cell, ribosome biogenesis is controlled by MEK/ERK/p90RSK signalling, not mTORC1, in cardiomyocytes. Taken together, the data presented here may provide cues for potential valuable therapy of cardiac left ventricular hypertrophy.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how principles underlying natural evo-devo (evolution and development) continue to inspire the design of artificial systems from models of cell growth through to simulated three-dimensional evolved creatures. Research on biological evolvability shows that phenotypic outcomes depend on multiple interactions across different organizational levels—the adult organism is the outcome of a series of genetic cascades modulated in time and space by the wider embryological, bodily, and environmental context. This chapter reviews evo-devo principles discovered in biology and explores their potential for improving the evolvability of artificial systems. Biological topics covered include adaptive, selective, and generative mechanisms, and the role of epigenetic processes in creating phenotypic diversity. Modeling approaches include L-systems, Boolean networks, reaction-diffusion processes, genetic algorithms, and artificial embryogeny. A particular focus is on the evolution and development of the mammalian brain and the possibility of designing, using synthetic evo-devo approaches, brain-like control architectures for biomimetic robots.

Abstract:
The Australian continent provides a unique perspective on the evolution and ecology of carnivorous animals. In earlier ages, Australia provided the arena for a spectacular radiation of marsupial and reptilian predators. The causes of their extinctions are still the subject of debate. Since European settlement, Australia has seen the extinction of one large marsupial predator (the thylacine), another (the Tasmanian devil) is in danger of imminent extinction, and still others have suffered dramatic declines. By contrast, two recently-introduced predators, the fox and cat, have been spectacularly successful, with devastating impacts on the Australian fauna. Carnivores of Australia: Past, Present and Future explores Australia's unique predator communities from pre-historic, historic and current perspectives. It covers mammalian, reptilian and avian carnivores, both native and introduced to Australia. It also examines the debate surrounding how best to manage predators to protect livestock and native biodiversity. Wildlife managers, academics and postgraduate students will benefit from the most up-to-date synthesis by leading researchers and managers in the field of carnivore biology. By emphasising Australian carnivores as exemplars of flesh-eaters in other parts of the world, this book will be an important reference for researchers, wildlife managers and students worldwide.
