Thus, we determined the function of proton-sensing OGR1 in the intestinal mucosa. METHODS OGR1 expression in colonic tissues was investigated in controls and patients with IBD. Expression of OGR1 upon cell activation was studied in the Mono Mac 6 (MM6) cell line and primary human and murine monocytes by real-time PCR. Ogr1 knockout mice were crossbred with Il-10 deficient mice and studied for more than 200 days. Microarray profiling was performed using Ogr1 and Ogr1 (WT) resi- dential peritoneal macrophages. RESULTS Patients with IBD expressed higher levels of OGR1 in the mucosa than non-IBD controls. Treatment of MM6 cells with TNF, led to significant upregulation of OGR1 expression, which could be reversed by the presence of NF-฀B inhibitors. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a significantly delayed onset and progression of rectal prolapse in female Ogr1/Il-10 mice. These mice displayed significantly less rectal prolapses. Upregulation of gene expression, mediated by OGR1, in response to extracellular acidification in mouse macrophages was enriched for inflammation and immune response, actin cytoskeleton, and cell-adhesion gene pathways. CONCLUSIONS OGR1 expression is induced in cells of human macrophage lineage and primary human monocytes by TNF. NF-฀B inhibition reverses the induction of OGR1 expression by TNF. OGR1 deficiency protects from spontaneous inflammation in the Il-10 knockout model. Our data indicate a pathophysiological rolefor pH-sensing receptor OGR1 during the pathogenesis of mucosal inflammation.

Both formsinflammation of the thatdisease, is associated Crohn’s withdisease extracellular (CD) and acidification ulcerative ofcolitis mucosal (UC), tissue. give Mucosal rise to inflammation is interpreted as a local response to tissue damage and microbial invasion. A number of studies suggest that an acidic environment affects the progression and resolution of inflammation.1-3 Inflammation has been attributed to an increase in local proton concentration and lactate production4 and subsequent pro-inflammatory cytokine production, such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interferon-gamma (IFN- -1-beta (IL- 5, 6 7-10 andγ) anti-TNF and interleukin targeted therapies1β). are TNF successful is one of thein characterizingboth CD and cytokinesUC. Activated in IBD macrophages, which are key cellular mediators of acute and chronic inflammation, are primary producers of TNF11. TNF activates the nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF- one of the key regulators in chronic mucosal inflammation.12, 13 κB), G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), cell-surface molecules involved in signal transduction, are targeted by key inflammatory cytokines.14 The ovarian cancer G-protein coupled receptor 1 (OGR1) family of receptors, which include OGR1, G protein coupled receptor 4 (GPR4), and T-cell death associated gene (TDAG8), sense extracellular protons through histidine residues located on the extracellular region of the receptors, resulting in the modification of a variety of cell functions.15, 16 Early signaling pathways of pH- sensing receptors triggered by acidification include phospholipase C activation, inositol trisphosphate formation and subsequent Ca2+ release15 or cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production.17, 18 The increase of intracellular calcium influx and accumulation of cAMP has been shown to regulate a vast range of cellular responses. Moreover, OGR1 and TDAG8 are alleged to act in opposition in a regulatory manner, either enhancing or inhibiting

  • Molecular Basis for the Distinct Cellular Functions of the Lsm1-7 and Lsm2-8 Complexes

Virta1, Samuel M. Hayes1, Yuichiro Nomura1, David A. Brow2, Samuel E. Butcher1 1Department of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA. 2Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA. Correspondence should be addressed to E.J.M. ([email protected]) and S.E.B. ([email protected]). Abstract Eukaryotes possess eight highly conserved Lsm (like Sm) proteins that assemble into circular, heteroheptameric complexes, bind RNA, and direct a diverse range of biological processes. Among the many essential functions of Lsm proteins, the cytoplasmic Lsm1-7 complex initiates mRNA decay, while the nuclear Lsm2-8 complex acts as a chaperone for U6 spliceosomal RNA. It has been unclear how these complexes perform their distinct functions while differing by only one out of seven subunits. Here, we elucidate the molecular basis for Lsm-RNA recognition and present four high-resolution structures of Lsm complexes bound to RNAs. The structures of Lsm2-8 bound to RNA identify the unique 2′,3′ cyclic phosphate end of U6 as a prime determinant of specificity. In contrast, the Lsm1-7 complex strongly discriminates against cyclic phosphates and tightly binds to oligouridylate tracts with terminal purines.

Studies on the hair proteome can give new insights into hair function and lead to the development of novel biomarkers for hair in health and disease. Human hair proteins were extracted by detergent and detergent-free techniques. We adopted a shotgun proteomics approach, which demonstrated a large extractability and variety of hair proteins after detergent extraction. We found an enrichment of keratin, keratin-associated proteins (KAPs), and intermediate flament proteins, which were part of protein networks associated with response to stress, innate immunity, epidermis development, and the hair cycle. Our analysis also revealed a signifcant deamidation of keratin type I and II, and KAPs. The hair shafts were found to contain several types of histones, which are well known to exert antimicrobial activity. Analysis of the hair proteome, particularly its composition, protein abundances, deamidated hair proteins, and modifcation sites, may ofer a novel approach to explore potential biomarkers of hair health quality, hair diseases, and aging. Hair is an important and evolutionarily conserved structure. It originates from hair follicles deep within the der- mis and is mainly composed of hair keratins and KAPs, which form a complex network that contributes to the rigidity and mechanical properties.

Nagaraju Copyright © 2009 by the Genetics Society of America DOI: 10.1534/genetics.108.099994 2 SI K. Arunkumar et al. File S1 Gene Ontology annotation GO annotation generates a dynamic controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all organisms, even while knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is still accumulating and changing. To this end, the Seqdblite FASTA sequence flat file was downloaded from the GO database. By running BLAST against Seqdblite, closest homologue was identified. From BLAST output, molecular functions, biological processes and cellular localisation were parsed by building an in-house GO database in MySQL from the GO-term-database flat file, downloaded from Gene Ontology Database Downloads (http://www.godatabase.org/dev/). The Perl-DBI was used to interface with MySQL, to extract the parent terms of each individual GO term that are obtained by parsing BLAST output. The output was then represented graphically. All ESTs were assigned a biological process, molecular function and cellular component using Gene Ontology (GO) database. The closest annotated homologue in the GO database was used for assigning these categories. The results of the GO annotation are graphically represented in Figures S1-3. Many of the gene products were found to be localized in cell (42%). In cell, gene products were predominant in intracellular region (78%) which comprised of localizations in intracellular organelle (38%) and cytoplasm (29%). The other localizations were organelle (29%) followed by protein complex (18%) (Figure S1).

    Cai et al. BMC Medical Genomics (2020) 13:33 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12920-020-0695-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Specific chromatin landscapes and transcription factors couple breast cancer subtype with metastatic relapse to lung or brain Wesley L. Cai1, Celeste B. Greer1,2, Jocelyn F. Chen1, Anna Arnal-Estapé1,3, Jian Cao1,3,4, Qin Yan1,3,5,6*† and Don X. Nguyen1,3,5,6,7*† Abstract Background: Few somatic mutations have been linked to breast cancer metastasis, whereas transcriptomic differences among primary tumors correlate with incidence of metastasis, especially to the lungs and brain. However, the epigenomic alterations and transcription factors (TFs) which underlie these alterations remain unclear. Methods: To identify these, we performed RNA-seq, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) of the MDA-MB-231 cell line and its brain (BrM2) and lung (LM2) metastatic sub-populations. We incorporated ATAC-seq data from TCGA to assess metastatic open chromatin signatures, and gene expression data from human metastatic datasets to nominate transcription factor biomarkers. Results: Our integrated epigenomic analyses found that lung and brain metastatic cells exhibit both shared and distinctive signatures of active chromatin. Notably, metastatic sub-populations exhibit increased activation of both promoters and enhancers. We also integrated these data with chromosome conformation capture coupled with ChIP-seq (HiChIP) derived enhancer-promoter interactions to predict enhancer-controlled pathway alterations. We found that enhancer changes are associated with endothelial cell migration in LM2, and negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation in BrM2. Promoter changes are associated with vasculature development in LM2 and homophilic cell adhesion in BrM2.

  • Association Between Chymase Gene Polymorphisms and Atrial Fibrillation
    Zhou et al. BMC Cardiovascular Disorders (2019) 19:321 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12872-019-01300-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Association between chymase gene polymorphisms and atrial fibrillation in Chinese Han population Dongchen Zhou, Yuewei Chen, Jiaxin Wu, Jiabo Shen, Yushan Shang, Liangrong Zheng and Xudong Xie* Abstract Background: Chymase is the major angiotensin II (Ang II)-forming enzyme in cardiovascular tissue, with an important role in atrial remodeling. This study aimed to examine the association between chymase 1 gene (CMA1) polymorphisms and atrial fibrillation (AF) in a Chinese Han population. Methods: This case-control study enrolled 126 patients with lone AF and 120 age- and sex-matched healthy controls, all from a Chinese Han population. Five CMA1 polymorphisms were genotyped. Results: The CMA1 polymorphism rs1800875 (G-1903A) was associated with AF. The frequency of the GG genotype was significantly higher in AF patients compared with controls (p = 0.009). Haplotype analysis further demonstrated an increased risk of AF associated with the rs1800875-G haplotype (Hap8 TGTTG, odds ratio (OR) = 1.668, 95% CI 1.132–2.458, p = 0.009), and a decreased risk for the rs1800875-A haplotype (Hap5 TATTG, OR = 0.178, 95% CI 0.042– 0.749, p = 0.008). Conclusions: CMA1 polymorphisms may be associated with AF, and the rs1800875 GG genotype might be a susceptibility factor for AF in the Chinese Han population.

Nelson10, Jan Gustafsson11, Eystein S Husebye12, Mark S Anderson13, Michael Snyder3 & Olle Kämpe1,2 Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1) is a monogenic disorder that features multiple autoimmune disease manifestations. It is caused by mutations in the Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene, which promote thymic display of thousands of peripheral tissue antigens in a process critical for establishing central immune tolerance. We here used proteome arrays to perform a comprehensive study of autoimmune targets in APS1. Interrogation of established autoantigens revealed highly reliable detection of autoantibodies, and by exploring the full panel of more than 9000 proteins we further identified MAGEB2 and PDILT as novel major autoantigens in APS1. Our proteome-wide assessment revealed a marked enrichment for tissue-specific immune targets, mirroringAIRE ’s selectiveness for this category of genes. Our findings also suggest that only a very limited portion of the proteome becomes targeted by the immune system in APS1, which contrasts the broad defect of thymic presentation associated with AIRE-deficiency and raises novel questions what other factors are needed for break of tolerance. Autoimmune responses can ultimately be defined at the molecular level by the specific interaction between T- or B-cell receptors and a distinct self-molecule. In tissue-specific autoimmune disorders the immune system typically target molecules that are exclusively expressed in the affected tissue and involve a combined cellular and humoral response with cognate specificities1–3.
