  • Hyperactivated Wnt-Β-Catenin Signaling in the Absence of Sfrp1 and Sfrp5 Disrupts Trophoblast Differentiation Through Repressio

BMC Biology (2020) 18:151 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-020-00883-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Hyperactivated Wnt-β-catenin signaling in the absence of sFRP1 and sFRP5 disrupts trophoblast differentiation through repression of Ascl2 Haili Bao1,2,3†, Dong Liu2†, Yingchun Xu2, Yang Sun2, Change Mu2, Yongqin Yu2, Chunping Wang2, Qian Han2, Sanmei Liu2, Han Cai1,2, Fan Liu2, Shuangbo Kong1,2, Wenbo Deng1,2, Bin Cao1,2, Haibin Wang1,2*, Qiang Wang3,4* and Jinhua Lu1,2* Abstract Background: Wnt signaling is a critical determinant for the maintenance and differentiation of stem/progenitor cells, including trophoblast stem cells during placental development. Hyperactivation of Wnt signaling has been shown to be associated with human trophoblast diseases. However, little is known about the impact and underlying mechanisms of excessive Wnt signaling during placental trophoblast development. Results: In the present work, we observed that two inhibitors of Wnt signaling, secreted frizzled-related proteins 1 and 5 (Sfrp1 and Sfrp5), are highly expressed in the extraembryonic trophoblast suggesting possible roles in early placental development. Sfrp1 and Sfrp5 double knockout mice exhibited disturbed trophoblast differentiation in the placental ectoplacental cone (EPC), which contains the precursors of trophoblast giant cells (TGCs) and spongiotrophoblast cells. In addition, we employed mouse models expressing a truncated β-catenin with exon 3 deletion globally and trophoblast-specifically, as well as trophoblast stem cell lines, and unraveled that hyperactivation of canonical Wnt pathway exhausted the trophoblast precursor cells in the EPC, resulting in the overabundance of giant cells at the expense of spongiotrophoblast cells.

  • Cholesterol 25-Hydroxylase on Chromosome 10Q Is a Susceptibility Gene for Sporadic Alzheimer’S Disease
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2005 Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase on chromosome 10q is a susceptibility gene for sporadic Alzheimer’s disease Papassotiropoulos, A ; Lambert, J C ; Wavrant-De Vrièze, F ; Wollmer, M A ; von der Kammer, H ; Streffer, J R ; Maddalena, A ; Huynh, K D ; Wolleb, S ; Lütjohann, D ; Schneider, B;Thal,DR Grimaldi, L M E ; Tsolaki, M ; Kapaki, E ; Ravid, R ; Konietzko, U ; Hegi, T ; Pasch, T ; Jung, H ; Braak, H ; Amouyel, P ; Rogaev, E I ; Hardy, J ; Hock, C ; Nitsch, R M Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. It is characterized by beta- amyloid (A beta) plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and the degeneration of specifically vulnerable brain neurons. We observed high expression of the cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) gene in specifically vulnerable brain regions of AD patients. CH25H maps to a region within 10q23 that has been previ- ously linked to sporadic AD. Sequencing of the 5’ region of CH25H revealed three common haplotypes, CH25Hchi2, CH25Hchi3 and CH25Hchi4; CSF levels of the cholesterol precursor lathosterol were higher in carriers of the CH25Hchi4 haplotype. In 1,282 patients with AD and 1,312 healthy control subjects from five independent populations, a common variation in the vicinity of CH25H was significantly associated with the risk for sporadic AD (p = 0.006). Quantitative neuropathology of brains from elderly non- demented subjects showed brain A beta deposits in carriers of CH25Hchi4 and CH25Hchi3 haplotypes, whereas no A beta deposits were present in CH25Hchi2 carriers.

This capacity has largely been ascribed to paracrine factors secreted by nerve-resident Schwann cells. Here, we used single-cell transcriptional profiling to identify ligands made by different injured rodent nerve cell types and have combined this with cell-surface mass spectrometry to computationally model potential paracrine interactions with peripheral neurons. These analyses show that peripheral nerves make many ligands predicted to act on peripheral and CNS neurons, in- cluding known and previously uncharacterized ligands. While Schwann cells are an important ligand source within injured nerves, more than half of the predicted ligands are made by nerve-resident mesenchymal cells, including the endoneurial cells most closely associated with peripheral axons. At least three of these mesen- chymal ligands, ANGPT1, CCL11, and VEGFC, promote growth when locally applied on sympathetic axons.

  • A New Strategy to Identify and Annotate Human RPE-Specific Gene Expression

Methodology: RPE, photoreceptor and choroidal cells were isolated from selected freshly frozen healthy human donor eyes using laser microdissection. RNA isolation, amplification and hybridization to 44 k microarrays was carried out according to Agilent specifications. Bioinformatics was carried out using Rosetta Resolver, David and Ingenuity software. Principal Findings: Our previous 22 k analysis of the RPE transcriptome showed that the RPE has high levels of protein synthesis, strong energy demands, is exposed to high levels of oxidative stress and a variable degree of inflammation. We currently use a complementary new strategy aimed at the identification and functional annotation of RPE-specific expressed transcripts. This strategy takes advantage of the multilayered cellular structure of the retina and overcomes a number of limitations of previous studies.

  • Prediction of Human Disease Genes by Human-Mouse Conserved Coexpression Analysis
    Prediction of Human Disease Genes by Human-Mouse Conserved Coexpression Analysis Ugo Ala1., Rosario Michael Piro1., Elena Grassi1, Christian Damasco1, Lorenzo Silengo1, Martin Oti2, Paolo Provero1*, Ferdinando Di Cunto1* 1 Molecular Biotechnology Center, Department of Genetics, Biology and Biochemistry, University of Turin, Turin, Italy, 2 Department of Human Genetics and Centre for Molecular and Biomolecular Informatics, University Medical Centre Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Abstract Background: Even in the post-genomic era, the identification of candidate genes within loci associated with human genetic diseases is a very demanding task, because the critical region may typically contain hundreds of positional candidates. Since genes implicated in similar phenotypes tend to share very similar expression profiles, high throughput gene expression data may represent a very important resource to identify the best candidates for sequencing. However, so far, gene coexpression has not been used very successfully to prioritize positional candidates. Methodology/Principal Findings: We show that it is possible to reliably identify disease-relevant relationships among genes from massive microarray datasets by concentrating only on genes sharing similar expression profiles in both human and mouse. Moreover, we show systematically that the integration of human-mouse conserved coexpression with a phenotype similarity map allows the efficient identification of disease genes in large genomic regions. Finally, using this approach on 850 OMIM loci characterized by an unknown molecular basis, we propose high-probability candidates for 81 genetic diseases. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that conserved coexpression, even at the human-mouse phylogenetic distance, represents a very strong criterion to predict disease-relevant relationships among human genes.
