Number 2 February 2017 Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology Volume 1 - Number 1 May - September 1997 Volume 21 - Number 2 February 2017 Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL INIST-CNRS Scope The Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology is a peer reviewed on-line journal in open access, devoted to genes, cytogenetics, and clinical entities in cancer, and cancer-prone diseases. It is made for and by: clinicians and researchers in cytogenetics, molecular biology, oncology, haematology, and pathology. One main scope of the Atlas is to conjugate the scientific information provided by cytogenetics/molecular genetics to the clinical setting (diagnostics, prognostics and therapeutic design), another is to provide an encyclopedic knowledge in cancer genetics. The Atlas deals with cancer research and genomics. It is at the crossroads of research, virtual medical university (university and post-university e-learning), and telemedicine. It contributes to "meta-medicine", this mediation, using information technology, between the increasing amount of knowledge and the individual, having to use the information. Towards a personalized medicine of cancer. It presents structured review articles ("cards") on: 1- Genes, 2- Leukemias, 3- Solid tumors, 4- Cancer-prone diseases, and also 5- "Deep insights": more traditional review articles on the above subjects and on surrounding topics. It also present 6- Case reports in hematology and 7- Educational items in the various related topics for students in Medicine and in Sciences. The Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology does not publish research articles.

  • HOXD8 Exerts a Tumor-Suppressing Role in Colorectal Cancer As an Apoptotic Inducer

The data sharing statement: No additional data are available. Abstract Homeobox (HOX) genes are conserved transcription factors which determine the anterior- posterior body axis patterning. HOXD8 is a member of HOX genes deregulated in several tumors such as lung carcinoma, neuroblastoma, glioma and colorectal cancer (CRC) in a context-dependent manner. In CRC, HOXD8 is downregulated in cancer tissues and metastatic foci as compared to normal tissues. Whether HOXD8 acts as a tumor suppressor of malignant progression and metastasis is still unclear. Also, the underlying mechanism of its function including the downstream targets is totally unknown. Here, we clarified the lower expression of HOXD8 in clinical colorectal cancer vs. normal colon tissues. Also, we showed that stable expression of HOXD8 in colorectal cancer cells significantly reduced the cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth and invasion. Further, using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we identified the genes associated with HOXD8 in order to demonstrate its function as a suppressor or a promoter of colorectal carcinoma.

Open data enables researchers to accelerate cancer studies, save resources and foster collaboration. Several tools and programming approaches are available for analyzing data, including annotation, clustering, comparison and extrapolation, merging, enrichment, functional association and statistics. We exploit openly available data via cancer gene expression analysis, we apply refinement as well as enrichment analysis via gene ontology and conclude with graph-based visualization of involved protein interaction networks as a basis for signaling. The different databases allowed for the construction of huge networks or specified ones consisting of high-confidence interactions only. Several genes associated to glioma were isolated via a network analysis from top hub nodes as well as from an outlier analysis. The latter approach highlights a mitogen-activated protein kinase next to a member of histondeacetylases and a protein phosphatase as genes uncommonly associated with glioma. Cluster analysis from top hub nodes lists several identified glioma-associated gene products to function within protein complexes, including epidermal growth factors as well as cell cycle proteins or RAS proto-oncogenes.

AIM In the scope of the HPP project, there is a special situation for the proteins that had not spectral and/or expression evidence, those are called "Unknown proteins".These proteins must be studied specifically to get enough information to build MRM quantitation methods. The Spanish HPP consortium has developed a specific protocol for unknown proteins in order to get MSMS information for the MRM method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clones and plasmids All the clones used are from pANT7_cGST clone collection distributed by Plasmid repository at Arizona State University Biodesign Institute. Each clone contains an in-frame fused C-terminal GST tag. Each bacterial clone was grown overnight in 5 mL of Luria broth with 100 µg/mL ampicillin. Plasmid DNA was extracted using Mini- Prep Kit from Promega, following manufacture instructions. All plasmids were sequence to confirm the identity of the insert. DNA isolation and sequence verification Protein IVVT production Proteins were synthesized from plasmid DNA using Human In vitro Protein Expression kit (Thermo) following manufacture s protocol with a few minimal modifications in order to adapt for 1.5 mL eppendorf tubes.

Gutachter Prof. Dr. Martin Vingron 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Peter N. Robinson 3. Gutachter: Christopher J. Mungall, Ph.D. Tag der Disputation: 16.05.2013 Preface This thesis presents research work on novel computational approaches to investigate and characterise the association between genes and pheno- typic abnormalities. It demonstrates methods for organisation, integra- tion, and mining of phenotype data in the field of genetics, with special application to human genetics. Here I will describe the parts of this the- sis that have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Often in modern science different people from different institutions contribute to research projects. The same is true for this thesis, and thus I will itemise who was responsible for specific sub-projects. In chapter 2, a new method for associating genes to phenotypes by means of protein-protein-interaction networks is described. I present a strategy to organise disease data and show how this can be used to link diseases to the corresponding genes. I show that global network distance measure in interaction networks of proteins is well suited for investigat- ing genotype-phenotype associations. This work has been published in 2008 in the American Journal of Human Genetics. My contribution here was to plan the project, implement the software, and finally test and evaluate the method on human genetics data; the implementation part was done in close collaboration with Sebastian Bauer.

Here we employ a single-molecule pulldown assay to study interactions of lipid vesicles with full-length proteins in mammalian whole cell lysates. Of 67 human PH domain- containing proteins initially examined, 36 (54%) are found to have affinity for PIPs with various specificity, the majority of which have not been reported before. Further investigation of ARHGEF3 reveals distinct structural requirements for its binding to PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,5) P2, and functional relevance of its PI(4,5)P2 binding. We generate a recursive-learning algorithm based on the assay results to analyze the sequences of 242 human PH domains, predicting that 49% of them bind PIPs. Twenty predicted binders and 11 predicted non- binders are assayed, yielding results highly consistent with the prediction. Taken together, our findings reveal unexpected lipid-binding specificity of PH domain-containing proteins. 1 Department of Cell & Developmental Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA. 2 Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA. 3 Department of Biophysics, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA. 4 Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA.

The patient’s tumor had an aberrant RET kinase gene and Mutations in the RET proto-oncogene are involved in the was treated with a combination of sorafenib (RET and RAF pathogenesis of familial MTC and >50% of the sporadic kinase and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor cases.Currently, there is no effective treatment for inhibitor) and tipifarnib (a farnesyltransferase inhibitor), recurrent or metastatic MTC.We report here a rapid targeted therapies that would disrupt RET-mediated signal response to a sorafenib (RET and RAF kinase and vascular transduction.
