Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of multiple populations with distinctive genetic and lifestyle backgrounds are a crucial step in understanding global CAD pathophysiology. In this study, we report a GWAS on the genetic basis of arterial stenosis as measured by cardiac catheterization in a Lebanese population. The locus of the phosphatase and actin regulator 1 gene (PHACTR1) showed association with coronary stenosis in a discovery experiment with genome wide data in 1,949 individuals (rs9349379, OR = 1.37, p = 1.5761025). The association was replicated in an additional 2,547 individuals (OR = 1.31, p = 8.8561026), leading to genome-wide significant association in a combined analysis (OR = 1.34, p = 8.02610210). Results from this GWAS support a central role of PHACTR1 in CAD susceptibility irrespective of lifestyle and ethnic divergences. This association provides a plausible component for understanding molecular mechanisms involved in the formation of stenosis in cardiac vessels and a potential drug target against CAD.

All of them are regulated by multiple microRNAs that either promote or suppress tumor progression. Multiple studies demonstrated that microRNAs target the mRNAs of multiple genes involved in the regulation of cell motility, local invasion, and metastatic niche formation. Thus, microRNAs are promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets in oncology. Abstract: Tumor cell invasiveness and metastasis are the main causes of mortality in cancer. Tumor progression is composed of many steps, including primary tumor growth, local invasion, intravasation, survival in the circulation, pre-metastatic niche formation, and metastasis. All these steps are strictly controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNA that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs can act as oncomiRs that promote tumor cell invasion and metastasis or as tumor suppressor miRNAs that inhibit tumor progression. These miRNAs regulate the actin cytoskeleton, the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) receptors including integrins and ECM-remodeling enzymes comprising matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and regulate epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), hence modulating cell migration and invasiveness.

Impaired efferocytosis drives the formation of clinically dangerous necrotic atherosclerotic plaques, the underlying etiology of coronary artery disease (CAD). An intron of the gene encoding PHACTR1 contains rs9349379 (A>G), a common variant associated with CAD. As PHACTR1 is an actin- binding protein, we reasoned that if the rs9349379 risk allele G causes lower PHACTR1 expression in macrophages, it might link the risk allele to CAD via impaired efferocytosis.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate associations of PHACTR1 gene polymorphisms with PP in a Chinese population. We recruited 347 sub- jects with PP ≥ 65 mmHg as cases and 359 subjects with 30 ≤ PP ≤ 45 mmHg as controls. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PHACTR1 gene were genotyped. Lo- gistic regression was performed to explore associations between SNPs and PP in codom- inant, additive, dominant, recessive and overdominant models. The Pearson’s χ2 test was applied to assess the relationships of haplotypes and PP. The A allele of rs9349379 had a positive effect on high PP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that rs9349379 was significantly related to high PP in codominant [AA vs GG, 2.255 (1.132–4.492)], additive [GG vs GA vs AA, 1.368 (1.049–1.783)] and recessive [AA vs GA + GG, 2.062 (1.051–4.045)] models.

Results: TGF-␤ down-regulates miR-584, leading to a PHACTR1 overexpression, and both are involved in cell migration and actin reorganization. Downloaded from Conclusion: The regulation of miR-584 and regulation of its novel target PHACTR1 are necessary steps for breast cancer cell migration. Significance: MicroRNAs offer an interesting therapeutic target in the treatment of advanced breast malignancy. http://www.jbc.org/ TGF-␤ plays an important role in breast cancer progression as tory role played by this growth factor is of central importance to a prometastatic factor, notably through enhancement of cell human diseases. Loss of function of TGF-␤ signaling leads to migration. It is becoming clear that microRNAs, a new class of hyper-proliferative disorders and has been linked to cancer small regulatory molecules, also play crucial roles in mediating development, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune dis- tumor formation and progression.

Part of the work was performed in collaboration. In Chapter 3, experiments presented in Figure 3.11 and parts of Figures 3.8, 3.10 and 3.15 were performed by Jessica Diring, a postdoc from the Transcription Laboratory at the London Research Institute. The structural analysis presented in Chapter 4 was performed in collaboration with Stephane Mouilleron, a postdoc from Neil McDonald’s Laboratory (Structural Biology Laboratory at the London Research Institute). Of the work presented, I was involved in initial optimisation of complex formation and initial screens. Stephane Mouilleron performed majority of the crystallisation screens and the optimisation work at the crystallisation stage, collected the X-ray diffraction data and solved the crystal structures. He also performed SEC- MALLS analysis of the complexes. Where analyses were performed by Stephane Mouilleron, this is indicated in the figure legends. In Chapter 5, experiments presented in parts of Figures 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 were performed by Jasmine Abella, a postdoc from Michael Way’s Laboratory (Cell Motility Laboratory at the London Research Institute). All other experiments presented in this thesis were performed by the author. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.

PHACTR1 (phosphatase and Actin regulator 1), also known as range 1:50-1:500) and solid phase ELISA (starting dilution 1:30, dilution RPEL or RPEL1, is a 580 amino acid cytoplasmic protein belonging to the range 1:30-1:3000). phosphatase and actin regulator family.
