Genome-Wide Parent-Of-Origin DNA Methylation Analysis Reveals The

We have extensively characterized imprinted methylation in a substantial range of normal human tissues, reciprocal genome-wide uniparental disomies, and hydatidiform moles, using a combination of whole- genome bisulfite sequencing and high-density methylation microarrays. This approach allowed us to define methylation profiles at known imprinted domains at base-pair resolution, as well as to identify 21 novel loci harboring parent-of-origin methylation, 15 of which are restricted to the placenta. We observe that the extent of imprinted differentially methylated regions (DMRs) is extremely similar between tissues, with the exception of the placenta.

Mouse Erlin2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Erlin2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Erlin2 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Erlin2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_153592 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000031483 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 8. 12 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TGA stop codon in exon 12 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000033873). Exon 2~10 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 the coding region. Exon 2~10 covers 72.45% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~8419 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: from Genes, Cells and Networks to Novel Pathways for Drug Discovery
brain sciences Review Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: From Genes, Cells and Networks to Novel Pathways for Drug Discovery Alan Mackay-Sim Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery, Griffith University, Brisbane, QLD 4111, Australia; a.mackay-sim@griffith.edu.au Abstract: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a diverse group of Mendelian genetic disorders affect- ing the upper motor neurons, specifically degeneration of their distal axons in the corticospinal tract. Currently, there are 80 genes or genomic loci (genomic regions for which the causative gene has not been identified) associated with HSP diagnosis. HSP is therefore genetically very heterogeneous. Finding treatments for the HSPs is a daunting task: a rare disease made rarer by so many causative genes and many potential mutations in those genes in individual patients. Personalized medicine through genetic correction may be possible, but impractical as a generalized treatment strategy. The ideal treatments would be small molecules that are effective for people with different causative mutations. This requires identification of disease-associated cell dysfunctions shared across geno- types despite the large number of HSP genes that suggest a wide diversity of molecular and cellular mechanisms. This review highlights the shared dysfunctional phenotypes in patient-derived cells from patients with different causative mutations and uses bioinformatic analyses of the HSP genes to identify novel cell functions as potential targets for future drug treatments for multiple genotypes.

Despite the identification of causative mutations in over 70 genes, the molecular aetiology remains unclear. Due to the combination of genetic diversity and variable clinical presentation, the Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias are a strong candidate for protein- protein interaction network analysis as a tool to understand disease mechanism(s) and to aid functional stratification of phenotypes.

Pridham1,2, Ching-Man Virbasius3, Bin He4, Liqing Zhang4, Hanne Varmark5, Michael R. Green3 & Zhi Sheng1,6,7,8 Dysregulated autophagy is central to the pathogenesis and therapeutic development of cancer. However, how autophagy is regulated in cancer is not well understood and genes that modulate cancer autophagy are not fully defned. To gain more insights into autophagy regulation in cancer, we performed a large-scale RNA interference screen in K562 human chronic myeloid leukemia cells using monodansylcadaverine staining, an autophagy-detecting approach equivalent to immunoblotting of the autophagy marker LC3B or fuorescence microscopy of GFP-LC3B. By coupling monodansylcadaverine staining with fuorescence-activated cell sorting, we successfully isolated autophagic K562 cells where we identifed 336 short hairpin RNAs. After candidate validation using Cyto-ID fuorescence spectrophotometry, LC3B immunoblotting, and quantitative RT-PCR, 82 genes were identifed as autophagy-regulating genes. 20 genes have been reported previously and the remaining 62 candidates are novel autophagy mediators. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that most candidate genes were involved in molecular pathways regulating autophagy, rather than directly participating in the autophagy process. Further autophagy fux assays revealed that 57 autophagy- regulating genes suppressed autophagy initiation, whereas 21 candidates promoted autophagy maturation. Our RNA interference screen identifed genes that regulate autophagy at diferent stages, which helps decode autophagy regulation in cancer and ofers novel avenues to develop autophagy- related therapies for cancer.

Abstract: Retroposition is RNA-based gene duplication leading to the creation of single exon nonfunc- tional copies. Nevertheless, over time, many of these duplicates acquire transcriptional capabilities. In human in most cases, these so-called retrogenes do not code for proteins but function as regulatory long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). The mechanisms by which they can regulate other genes include microRNA sponging, modulation of alternative splicing, epigenetic regulation and competition for stabilizing factors, among others. Here, we summarize recent findings related to lncRNAs originating from retrocopies that are involved in human diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative, mental or cardiovascular disorders. Special attention is given to retrocopies that regulate their progenitors or host genes. Presented evidence from the literature and our bioinformatics analyses demonstrates that these retrocopies, often described as unimportant pseudogenes, are significant players in the cell’s molecular machinery.
