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. -
Loss of the Dermis Zinc Transporter ZIP13 Promotes the Mildness Of
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Loss of the dermis zinc transporter ZIP13 promotes the mildness of fbrosarcoma by inhibiting autophagy Mi-Gi Lee1,8, Min-Ah Choi2,8, Sehyun Chae3,8, Mi-Ae Kang4, Hantae Jo4, Jin-myoung Baek4, Kyu-Ree In4, Hyein Park4, Hyojin Heo4, Dongmin Jang5, Sofa Brito4, Sung Tae Kim6, Dae-Ok Kim 1,7, Jong-Soo Lee4, Jae-Ryong Kim2* & Bum-Ho Bin 4* Fibrosarcoma is a skin tumor that is frequently observed in humans, dogs, and cats. Despite unsightly appearance, studies on fbrosarcoma have not signifcantly progressed, due to a relatively mild tumor severity and a lower incidence than that of other epithelial tumors. Here, we focused on the role of a recently-found dermis zinc transporter, ZIP13, in fbrosarcoma progression. We generated two transformed cell lines from wild-type and ZIP13-KO mice-derived dermal fbroblasts by stably expressing the Simian Virus (SV) 40-T antigen. The ZIP13−/− cell line exhibited an impairment in autophagy, followed by hypersensitivity to nutrient defciency. The autophagy impairment in the ZIP13−/− cell line was due to the low expression of LC3 gene and protein, and was restored by the DNA demethylating agent, 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine (5-aza) treatment. Moreover, the DNA methyltransferase activity was signifcantly increased in the ZIP13−/− cell line, indicating the disturbance of epigenetic regulations. Autophagy inhibitors efectively inhibited the growth of fbrosarcoma with relatively minor damages to normal cells in xenograft assay. Our data show that proper control over autophagy and zinc homeostasis could allow for the development of a new therapeutic strategy to treat fbrosarcoma. -

Pathogenic variants in the genes encoding these proteins impair this function and have consequences on the whole organism. Establishing a genetic diagnosis in patients with renal tubular dysfunction is a challenging task given the genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, functional characteristics of the genes involved and the number of yet unknown causes. Part of these difficulties can be overcome by gathering large patient cohorts and applying high-throughput sequencing techniques combined with experimental work to prove functional impact. This approach has led to the identification of a number of genes but also generated controversies about proper interpretation of variants. In this article, we will highlight these challenges and controversies. Keywords: inherited tubulopathies; next generation sequencing; genetic heterogeneity; variant classification. 1. Introduction Mutations in genes that encode transporter proteins in the renal tubule alter kidney capacity to maintain homeostasis and cause diseases recognized under the generic name of inherited tubulopathies. -

Methods in and Applications of the Sequencing of Short Non-Coding RNAs Abstract Short non-coding RNAs are important for all domains of life. With the advent of modern molecular biology their applicability to medicine has become apparent in settings ranging from diagonistic biomarkers to therapeutics and fields angingr from oncology to neurology. In addition, a critical, recent technological development is high-throughput sequencing of nucleic acids. The convergence of modern biotechnology with developments in RNA biology presents opportunities in both basic research and medical settings. Here I present two novel methods for leveraging high-throughput sequencing in the study of short non- coding RNAs, as well as a study in which they are applied to Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The computational methods presented here include High-throughput Annotation of Modified Ribonucleotides (HAMR), which enables researchers to detect post-transcriptional covalent modifications ot RNAs in a high-throughput manner. In addition, I describe Classification of RNAs by Analysis of Length (CoRAL), a computational method that allows researchers to characterize the pathways responsible for short non-coding RNA biogenesis. -

Buckle: [email protected]; [email protected] https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2018.06.051 Edited by Dan Tawfik Abstract Canonical mechanisms of protein evolution include the duplication and diversification of pre-existing folds through genetic alterations that include point mutations, insertions, deletions, and copy number amplifications, as well as post-translational modifications that modify processes such as folding efficiency and cellular localization. Following a survey of the human mutation database, we have identified an additional mechanism that we term “structural capacitance,” which results in the de novo generation of microstructure in previously disordered regions. We suggest that the potential for structural capacitance confers select proteins with the capacity to evolve over rapid timescales, facilitating saltatory evolution as opposed to gradualistic canonical Darwinian mechanisms. -
