Ezh2 is essential for maintaining pluripotency of stem cells, but information on its role in differentiated cells is sparse. Whole-genome mRNA expression arrays identified 964 genes that were regulated by >2-fold 72 hours after small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of Ezh2 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Among them, genes associated with the gene ontology terms cell communication and cell adhesion were significantly overrepresented, suggesting a functional role for Ezh2 in the regulation of angiogenesis. Indeed, adhesion, migration, and tube formation assays revealed significantly altered angiogenic properties of human umbilical vein endothelial cells after silencing of Ezh2. To identify direct target genes of Ezh2, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments followed by whole-genome promoter arrays (chromatin immunoprecipitation-on-chip) and identified 5585 genes associated with trimethylation of lysine 27 in histone 3. Comparative analysis with our mRNA expression data identified 276 genes that met our criteria for putative Ezh2 target genes, upregulation by >2-fold after Ezh2 silencing and association with trimethylation of lysine 27 in histone 3. Notably, we observed a striking overrepresentation of genes involved in wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site (WNT) signaling pathways. Epigenetic regulation of several of these genes by Ezh2 was specifically confirmed by polymerase chain reaction analysis of DNA enrichment after chromatin immunoprecipitation using an antibody specific for trimethylation of lysine 27 in histone 3. Combining mRNA expression arrays and chromatin immunoprecipitation-on-chip analysis, we identified 276 Ezh2 target genes in endothelial cells. Ezh2-dependent repression of genes involved in cell adhesion and communication contributes to the regulation of angiogenesis.

  • University of Leicester, Msc Medical Statistics, Thesis, Wilmar
    Thesis MSc in Medical Statistics Department of Health Sciences University of Leicester, United Kingdom Application of Bayesian hierarchical generalized linear models using weakly informative prior distributions to identify rare genetic variant effects on blood pressure Wilmar Igl March 2015 Summary Background Currently rare genetic variants are discussed as a source of \missing heritability" of complex traits. Bayesian hierarchical models were proposed as an efficient method for the estimation and aggregation of conditional effects of rare variants. Here, such models are applied to identify rare variant effects on blood pressure. Methods Empirical data provided by the Genetic Analysis Workshop 19 (2014) included 1,851 Mexican-American individuals with diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension (HTN) and 461,868 variants from whole- exome sequencing of odd-numbered chromosomes. Bayesian hierarchical generalized linear models using weakly informative prior distributions were applied. Results Associations of rare variants chr1:204214013 (estimate = 39.6, Credible In- terval (CrI) 95% = [25.3, 53.9], Bayesian p = 6:8 × 10−8) in the PLEKHA6 gene and chr11:118518698 (estimate = 32.2, CrI95% = [20.6, 43.9], Bayesian p = 7:0 × 10−8) in the PHLEDB1 gene were identified. Joint effects of grouped rare variants on DBP in 23 genes (Bayesian p = [8:8 × 10−14, 9:3 × 10−8]) and on SBP in 21 genes (Bayesian p = [8:6 × 10−12, 7:8 × 10−8]) in pathways related to hemostasis, sodi- um/calcium transport, ciliary activity, and others were found. No association with hypertension was detected. Conclusions Bayesian hierarchical generalized linear models with weakly informa- tive priors can successfully be applied in exome-wide genetic association analyses of rare variants.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • FAM83 Family Oncogenes Are Broadly Involved in Human Cancers: an Integrative Multi-Omics Approach Antoine M
    FAM83 family oncogenes are broadly involved in human cancers: an integrative multi-omics approach Antoine M. Snijders1, Sun-Young Lee1, Bo Hang1, Wenshan Hao2, Mina J. Bissell1 and Jian-Hua Mao1 1 Biological Systems and Engineering Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, CA, USA 2 Nanjing Biotech and Pharmaceutical Valley Development Center, China Keywords The development of novel targeted therapies for cancer treatment requires copy number variation; FAM83 family; gene identification of reliable targets. FAM83 (‘family with sequence similarity mutation; multi-omics approach; oncogenes 83’) family members A, B, and D were shown recently to have oncogenic potential. However, the overall oncogenic abilities of FAM83 family genes Correspondence J.-H. Mao, A. M. Snijders and M. J. Bissell, remain largely unknown.
