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.

  • The Use of Genetic Analyses and Functional Assays for the Interpretation of Rare Variants in Pediatric Heart Disease
    The use of genetic analyses and functional assays for the interpretation of rare variants in pediatric heart disease A dissertation submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Genetics by Jeffrey A. Schubert Bachelor of Science, Mount St. Joseph University, 2012 Committee Chair: Stephanie M. Ware, M.D., Ph.D. Edmund Choi, Ph.D. Benjamin Landis, M.D. Anil Menon, Ph.D. David Wieczorek, Ph.D. Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry, and Microbiology Graduate Program College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, 2018 ABSTRACT The use of next generation technologies such as whole exome sequencing (WES) has paved the way for discovering novel causes of Mendelian diseases. This has been demonstrated in pediatric heart diseases, including cardiomyopathy (CM) and familial thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). Each of these conditions carries a high risk of a serious cardiac event, including sudden heart failure or aortic rupture, which are often fatal. Patients with either disease can be asymptomatic before presenting with these events, which necessitates early diagnosis. Though there are many known genetic causes of disease for both conditions, there is still room for discovery of novel pathogenic genes and variants, as many patients have an undefined genetic diagnosis. WES covers the protein-coding portion of the genome, which yields a massive amount of data, though it comprises only 1% of the genome. Sorting and filtering sequencing information to identify (sometimes) a single base pair change responsible for the patient phenotype is challenging. Further, interpreting identified candidate variants must be done according to strict standards, which makes it difficult to definitively say whether a coding change is pathogenic or benign.

  • Effects of Gestational Nutrition on Post-Natal Fertility in Sheep Peter Smith
    Effects of Gestational Nutrition on Post-Natal Fertility in Sheep Peter Smith A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand January 2017 ii Abstract Changes to feed availability resulting from global climate change have the potential to exacerbate fertility issues already facing the NZ livestock industry. Appropriate feeding levels during gestation is gaining more attention as a number of studies have illustrated that underfeeding during gestation can have negative impacts on the fertility of female offspring. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain obscure. Therefore, the aims of this study were to firstly establish a model in sheep whereby restricted gestational nutrition influenced fertility of the female offspring. A second aim was to identify potential mechanisms underlying the relationship between restricted gestational nutrition and postnatal fertility. Ewes were provided with either a maintenance diet, or a 0.6 of maintenance diet for the first 55 days of gestation. Thereafter, all ewes were fed ad-lib for the remainder of gestation. Fetuses were collected at days 55 and 75 of gestation to examine fetal ovarian development using stereology, and RNAseq was used to examine gene expression. Steroid profiles were generated from both maternal and fetal (day 75 only) plasma samples. Female offspring were monitored from birth until 19 months of age. From these offspring, the time of onset of puberty was recorded, indicators of fertility (ovulation rate and antral follicle counts) were assessed at 8 and 19 months of age, and key hormone profiles were generated at 19 months of age.

  • Mitochondrial Calcium Deregulation in the Mechanism of Beta-Amyloid and Tau Pathology
    cells Review Mitochondrial Calcium Deregulation in the Mechanism of Beta-Amyloid and Tau Pathology Noemi Esteras * and Andrey Y. Abramov * Department of Clinical and Movement Neurosciences, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (N.E.); [email protected] (A.Y.A.) Received: 31 August 2020; Accepted: 19 September 2020; Published: 21 September 2020 Abstract: Aggregation and deposition of β-amyloid and/or tau protein are the key neuropathological features in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other tauopathies including frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The interaction between oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and the impairment of calcium ions (Ca2+) homeostasis induced by misfolded tau and β-amyloid plays an important role in the progressive neuronal loss occurring in specific areas of the brain. In addition to the control of bioenergetics and ROS production, mitochondria are fine regulators of the cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis that induce vital signalling mechanisms in excitable cells such as neurons. Impairment in the mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake through the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) or release through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger may lead to mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and opening of the permeability transition pore inducing neuronal death. Recent evidence suggests an important role for these mechanisms as the underlying causes for neuronal death in β-amyloid and tau pathology. The present review will focus on the mechanisms that lead to cytosolic and especially mitochondrial Ca2+ disturbances occurring in AD and tau-induced FTD, and propose possible therapeutic interventions for these disorders. Keywords: calcium; mitochondria; tau; β-amyloid; MCU; NCLX; VGCCs; glutamate; mPTP 1.

Lysosomes are the main catabolic subcellular organelles responsible for degradation and recycling of both extracellular and intracellular material, which are the final steps in phagocytosis and autophagy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying lysosomal functions after infection remain obscure. In this study, we conducted a quantitative proteomics analysis of the changes in constitution and glycosylation of proteins in lysosomes derived from murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cells treated with different types of pathogens comprising examples of bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, L. m), DNA viruses (herpes simplex virus type-1, HSV-1) and RNA viruses (vesicular stomatitis virus, VSV). In total, 3,704 lysosome-related proteins and 300 potential glycosylation sites on 193 proteins were identified.
