We aimed to refine HCA natural history according to an updated molecular classification. Methods 607 samples of 533 HCA from 411 patients collected in 28 centers were systematically analyzed by expression profiling and sequencing 20 and 8 genes, respectively. Microarray analysis, RNA sequencing, whole-exome and genome sequencing were performed in selected cases. Clinical and pathological features were compared with molecular data. Results Symptomatic bleeding occurred in 14% of the patients (female 85%, median age 38 y), 7% of the nodules were borderline between adenoma and carcinoma (HCA/HCC) and in 3% HCC developed on HCA. We defined a new molecular classification of HCA in 8 molecular subgroups. Among them, we identified a new HCA subgroup (4%, previously unclassified) associated with obesity and bleeding. These tumors were characterized by a sonic Hedgehog pathway activation due to focal deletions creating INHBE promoter/GLI1 fusions. Analysis of inter-tumor genetic heterogeneity of multiple HCA in patients revealed a "molecular subtype field effect" with tumors harboring private mutations leading to similar pathway deregulation. Specific molecular HCA subtypes were associated with various risk factors and estrogen/androgen hormonal balances. Finally, the molecular classification enabled to stratify patients according to the risk of bleeding and malignant transformation. Conclusion INHBE-GLI1 fusion defined a new subgroup of HCA characterized by sonic hedgehog activation. Molecular classification identified subgroups of patients related to specific risk factors, clinical behavior and pathological features laying the foundations for personalized treatment.

  • Analysis of Trans Esnps Infers Regulatory Network Architecture
    Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anat Kreimer All rights reserved ABSTRACT Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer eSNPs are genetic variants associated with transcript expression levels. The characteristics of such variants highlight their importance and present a unique opportunity for studying gene regulation. eSNPs affect most genes and their cell type specificity can shed light on different processes that are activated in each cell. They can identify functional variants by connecting SNPs that are implicated in disease to a molecular mechanism. Examining eSNPs that are associated with distal genes can provide insights regarding the inference of regulatory networks but also presents challenges due to the high statistical burden of multiple testing. Such association studies allow: simultaneous investigation of many gene expression phenotypes without assuming any prior knowledge and identification of unknown regulators of gene expression while uncovering directionality. This thesis will focus on such distal eSNPs to map regulatory interactions between different loci and expose the architecture of the regulatory network defined by such interactions. We develop novel computational approaches and apply them to genetics-genomics data in human. We go beyond pairwise interactions to define network motifs, including regulatory modules and bi-fan structures, showing them to be prevalent in real data and exposing distinct attributes of such arrangements. We project eSNP associations onto a protein-protein interaction network to expose topological properties of eSNPs and their targets and highlight different modes of distal regulation.

  • Evidence for Differential Alternative Splicing in Blood of Young Boys With
    Stamova et al. Molecular Autism 2013, 4:30 http://www.molecularautism.com/content/4/1/30 RESEARCH Open Access Evidence for differential alternative splicing in blood of young boys with autism spectrum disorders Boryana S Stamova1,2,5*, Yingfang Tian1,2,4, Christine W Nordahl1,3, Mark D Shen1,3, Sally Rogers1,3, David G Amaral1,3 and Frank R Sharp1,2 Abstract Background: Since RNA expression differences have been reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for blood and brain, and differential alternative splicing (DAS) has been reported in ASD brains, we determined if there was DAS in blood mRNA of ASD subjects compared to typically developing (TD) controls, as well as in ASD subgroups related to cerebral volume. Methods: RNA from blood was processed on whole genome exon arrays for 2-4–year-old ASD and TD boys. An ANCOVA with age and batch as covariates was used to predict DAS for ALL ASD (n=30), ASD with normal total cerebral volumes (NTCV), and ASD with large total cerebral volumes (LTCV) compared to TD controls (n=20). Results: A total of 53 genes were predicted to have DAS for ALL ASD versus TD, 169 genes for ASD_NTCV versus TD, 1 gene for ASD_LTCV versus TD, and 27 genes for ASD_LTCV versus ASD_NTCV. These differences were significant at P <0.05 after false discovery rate corrections for multiple comparisons (FDR <5% false positives). A number of the genes predicted to have DAS in ASD are known to regulate DAS (SFPQ, SRPK1, SRSF11, SRSF2IP, FUS, LSM14A). In addition, a number of genes with predicted DAS are involved in pathways implicated in previous ASD studies, such as ROS monocyte/macrophage, Natural Killer Cell, mTOR, and NGF signaling.

Bioinformatics deals with the system-level study of complex interactions in biosystems providing a quantitative systemic approach to understand them and appropriate tool support and concepts to model them. Understanding and modeling biosystems requires simulation of biological behaviors and functions. Bioinformatics itself constitutes a vast area of research and specialization, as many classical domains such as databases, modeling, and regular expressions are used to represent, store, retrieve and process a huge volume of knowledge. Biotechnology is defined as the industrial use of living organisms or biological techniques developed through basic research. Bio-oriented technologies became very popular in various research topics and industrial market segments. Current human mechanisms seem to offer significant ways for improving theories, algorithms, technologies, products and systems. The focus is driven by fundamentals in approaching and applying biotechnologies in terms of engineering methods, special electronics, and special materials and systems. Borrowing simplicity and performance from the real life, biodevices cover a large spectrum of areas, from sensors, chips, and biometry to computing. One of the chief domains is represented by the biomedical biotechnologies, from instrumentation to monitoring, from simple sensors to integrated systems, including image processing and visualization systems. As the state-of-the- art evolves at fast speed, new biotechnologies and biosystems become available.

Der1,2* Stabilization of the MYC oncoprotein by KRAS signaling critically promotes the growth of pancreatic ductal adeno- carcinoma (PDAC). Thus, understanding how MYC protein stability is regulated may lead to effective therapies. Here, we used a previously developed, flow cytometry–based assay that screened a library of >800 protein kinase inhibitors and identified compounds that promoted either the stability or degradation of MYC in a KRAS-mutant PDAC cell line. We validated compounds that stabilized or destabilized MYC and then focused on one compound, Downloaded from UNC10112785, that induced the substantial loss of MYC protein in both two-dimensional (2D) and 3D cell cultures. We determined that this compound is a potent CDK9 inhibitor with a previously uncharacterized scaffold, caused MYC loss through both transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms, and suppresses PDAC anchorage- dependent and anchorage-independent growth. We discovered that CDK9 enhanced MYC protein stability 62 through a previously unknown, KRAS-independent mechanism involving direct phosphorylation of MYC at Ser .

Androgen deprivation f androgen receptor therapy prevents ligand-activation of the androgen receptor. Despite initial remission f prostate cancer after androgen deprivation therapy, prostate cancer almost invariably progresses while f nuclear receptor continuing to rely on androgen receptor action. Androgen receptor’s transcriptional f coregulator output, which ultimately controls prostate cancer behavior, is an alternative therapeutic f transcription target, but its molecular regulation is poorly understood. Recent insights in the molecular f castration mechanisms by which the androgen receptor controls transcription of its target genes f hormonal therapy are uncovering gene specificity as well as context-dependency. Heterogeneity in the Endocrine-Related Cancer Endocrine-Related androgen receptor’s transcriptional output is reflected both in its recruitment to diverse cognate DNA binding motifs and in its preferential interaction with associated pioneering factors, other secondary transcription factors and coregulators at those sites. This variability suggests that multiple, distinct modes of androgen receptor action that regulate diverse aspects of prostate cancer biology and contribute differentially to prostate cancer’s clinical progression are active simultaneously in prostate cancer cells.

Here, we show that GSCs, differentiated glioblastoma cells (DGC), and nonmalignant brain cultures all displayed robust circadian rhythms, yet GSCs alone displayed exquisite dependence on core clock transcription factors, BMAL1 and CLOCK, for optimal cell growth. Downregulation of BMAL1 or CLOCK in GSCs induced cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Chromatin immu- noprecipitation revealed that BMAL1 preferentially bound metabolic genes and was associated with active chromatin regions in GSCs compared with neural stem cells. Targeting BMAL1 or CLOCK attenu- ated mitochondrial metabolic function and reduced expression of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes. Small-molecule agonists of two independent BMAL1–CLOCK negative regulators, the cryptochromes and REV-ERBs, downregulated stem cell factors and reduced GSC growth. Combination of cryp- tochrome and REV-ERB agonists induced synergistic antitumor effi cacy. Collectively, these fi ndings show that GSCs co-opt circadian regulators beyond canonical circadian circuitry to promote stemness maintenance and metabolism, offering novel therapeutic paradigms.
