https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Ctnnal1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Ctnnal1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Ctnnal1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_018761 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000038816 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 4. 19 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 19 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000045142). Exon 2 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: Mice homozygous for a targeted disruption of this gene are viable and fertile and exhibit no overt phenotypes or defects in hematopoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell function. Exon 2 starts from about 6.34% of the coding region. Exon 2 covers 8.66% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~190 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis. Overview of the Dot Plot (down) Window size: 15 bp Forward Reverse Complement Sequence 12 Note: The 2000 bp section downstream of Exon 2 is aligned with itself to determine if there are tandem repeats. No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

ABSTRACT Tumour angiogenesis is a vital process in the pathology of tumour development and metastasis. Targeting markers of tumour endothelium provide a means of targeted destruction of a tumours oxygen and nutrient supply via destruction of tumour vasculature, which in turn ultimately leads to beneficial consequences to patients. Although current anti -angiogenic and vascular targeting strategies help patients, more potently in combination with chemo therapy, there is still a need for more tumour endothelial marker discoveries as current treatments have cardiovascular and other side effects. For the first time, the analyses of in-vivo biotinylation of an embryonic system is performed to obtain putative vascular targets. Also for the first time, deep sequencing is applied to freshly isolated tumour and normal endothelial cells from lung, colon and bladder tissues for the identification of pan-vascular-targets. Integration of the proteomic, deep sequencing, public cDNA libraries and microarrays, delivers 5,892 putative vascular targets to the science community.

Co-immunoprecipitation assays were performed as described before (2), using cyclin D1 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-8396, RRID:AB_627344) or control IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-2025, RRID:AB_737182) followed by protein G- magnetic beads (Invitrogen) incubation and elution with Glycine 100mM pH=2.5. Co-IP experiments were performed within five weeks after cell thawing. Cyclin D1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-753), E2F4 (Bethyl, A302-134A, RRID:AB_1720353), FOXM1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-502, RRID:AB_631523), and CBP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-7300, RRID:AB_626817) antibodies were used for WB detection. In figure 1A and supplementary figure S2A, the same blot was probed with cyclin D1 and tubulin antibodies by cutting the membrane. In figure 2H, cyclin D1 and CBP blots correspond to the same membrane while E2F4 and FOXM1 blots correspond to an independent membrane. Image acquisition was performed with ImageQuant LAS 4000 mini (GE Healthcare). Image processing and quantification were performed with Multi Gauge software (Fujifilm). For qRT-PCR analysis, cDNA was generated from 1 µg RNA with qScript cDNA Synthesis kit (Quantabio). qRT–PCR reaction was performed using SYBR green (Roche).

Clinical and molecular evidence indicates that lung adenocarcinoma is a heterogeneous disease, which has important implications for treatment. Here we performed genome-scale DNA methylation profiling using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 platform on 59 matched lung adenocarcinoma/non-tumor lung pairs, with genome-scale verifi- cation on an independent set of tissues.

Although several findings have emerged from these canalized via the cell communication and cell regulatory machin- studies1, the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have ery that allows distinct cells to interact and regulates their behavior. been mostly sobering.

ABSTRACT Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most important health problem affecting the quality of life and contributing to a high burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders is crucial for the development of efficient treatments. In this thesis, musculoskeletal disorders including muscle wasting, bone loss and cartilage deformation have been studied using systems biology approaches. Muscle wasting occurring as a systemic effect in COPD patients has been investigated with an integrative network inference approach. This work has lead to a model describing the relationship between muscle molecular and physiological response to training and systemic inflammatory mediators. This model has shown for the first time that oxygen dependent changes in the expression of epigenetic modifiers and not chronic inflammation may be causally linked to muscle dysfunction.

    Coexpression Network Based on Natural Variation in Human Gene Expression Reveals Gene Interactions and Functions

Analysis of these networks provides insights into gene interactions and functions. Here, we took advantage of normal variation in human gene expression to infer gene net- works, which we constructed using correlations in expression levels of more than 8.5 million gene pairs in immortalized B cells from three independent samples. The resulting networks allowed us to identify biological processes and gene functions. Among the biological pathways, we found processes such as translation and glycolysis that co-occur in the same subnetworks. We predicted the functions of poorly characterized genes, including CHCHD2 and TMEM111, and provided experimental evidence that TMEM111 is part of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated secretory pathway. We also found that IFIH1, a susceptibility gene of type 1 diabetes, interacts with YES1, which plays a role in glucose transport. Furthermore, genes that predispose to the same diseases are clustered nonrandomly in the coexpression network, suggesting that net- works can provide candidate genes that influence disease susceptibility.
