    Prashanth et al. BMC Endocrine Disorders (2021) 21:80 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12902-021-00718-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Investigation of candidate genes and mechanisms underlying obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus using bioinformatics analysis and screening of small drug molecules G. Prashanth1 , Basavaraj Vastrad2 , Anandkumar Tengli3 , Chanabasayya Vastrad4* and Iranna Kotturshetti5 Abstract Background: Obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder ; however, the etiology of obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus remains largely unknown. There is an urgent need to further broaden the understanding of the molecular mechanism associated in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: To screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that might play essential roles in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus, the publicly available expression profiling by high throughput sequencing data (GSE143319) was downloaded and screened for DEGs. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein - protein interaction network, miRNA - target genes regulatory network and TF-target gene regulatory network were constructed and analyzed for identification of hub and target genes. The hub genes were validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and RT- PCR analysis. Finally, a molecular docking study was performed on over expressed proteins to predict the target small drug molecules. Results: A total of 820 DEGs were identified between

  • Gene Ontology Functional Annotations and Pleiotropy
    Network based analysis of genetic disease associations Sarah Gilman Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2013 Sarah Gilman All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Network based analysis of genetic disease associations Sarah Gilman Despite extensive efforts and many promising early findings, genome-wide association studies have explained only a small fraction of the genetic factors contributing to common human diseases. There are many theories about where this “missing heritability” might lie, but increasingly the prevailing view is that common variants, the target of GWAS, are not solely responsible for susceptibility to common diseases and a substantial portion of human disease risk will be found among rare variants. Relatively new, such variants have not been subject to purifying selection, and therefore may be particularly pertinent for neuropsychiatric disorders and other diseases with greatly reduced fecundity. Recently, several researchers have made great progress towards uncovering the genetics behind autism and schizophrenia. By sequencing families, they have found hundreds of de novo variants occurring only in affected individuals, both large structural copy number variants and single nucleotide variants. Despite studying large cohorts there has been little recurrence among the genes implicated suggesting that many hundreds of genes may underlie these complex phenotypes. The question

    https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Ttc39a Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Ttc39a knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Ttc39a gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_153392 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000028555 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 4. 18 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAG stop codon in exon 18 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000064129). Exon 2~5 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 2 starts from about 2.26% of the coding region. Exon 2~5 covers 22.11% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~6956 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Strategy summary: The Ttc39a gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_153392 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000028555 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 4. 18 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAG stop codon in exon 18 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000064129). Exon 3~5 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Ttc39a gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-110F24 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 3 starts from about 8.33% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3~5 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 5201 bp, and the size of intron 5 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 3358 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~2297 bp.

In order to determine the NF- '- mouse, we crossed the '- mice with NGL, a NF-B reporter mouse. NGL transgenic mice are engineered to express a GFP/luciferase fusion protein under the control of a promoter containing multiple NF-B consensus binding sites (1). Since the NF-'- NGL mouse is activated in the whole body, the relatively high level of background activation does not allow detection of NF- prostate. Therefore, in order to determine the NF-the '- mouse, we grafted the prostates from 'o the kidney capsule of male nude mice using a tissue rescue technique. NF-B activity was measured at 7 weeks after grafting. The bioluminescence imaging shows NF-B signaling is activated (green) in the kidney, where the grafted prostate from ' use resides (B). In panel (A), the control mouse (grafted with the prostate from NGL mouse) has no bioluminescence, illustrating that in the absence of '-, there is not activation of NF- B.

Large parathyroid adenomas (LPTAs) were defined as the 5% largest sporadic parathyroid adenomas identified among the 590 cases operated in our institution during 2005–2009. The LPTA group showed a higher relative number of male cases and significantly higher levels of total plasma and ionized serum calcium (P!0.001). Further analysis of 21 LPTAs revealed low MIB1 proliferation index (0.1–1.5%), MEN1 mutations in five cases, and one HRPT2 (CDC73) mutation. Total or partial loss of parafibromin expression was observed in ten tumors, two of which also showed loss of APC expression.
