Nonseminomatous GCTs are exhibiting various stages of differentiation. Almost all GCTs further subdivided into embryonal carcinomas, which show early show 12p gain, but the target genes have not been clearly zygotic or embryonal-like differentiation, yolk sac tumors and defined.

Seventy-three genes on 12p are known to express stem cell markers, such as POU5F1 (4) and were significantly overexpressed, including GLUT3 and REA NANOG (5). -

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. -

Functional Characterization of the New 8Q21 Asthma Risk Locus
Functional characterization of the new 8q21 Asthma risk locus Cristina M T Vicente B.Sc, M.Sc A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 Faculty of Medicine Abstract Genome wide association studies (GWAS) provide a powerful tool to identify genetic variants associated with asthma risk. However, the target genes for many allergy risk variants discovered to date are unknown. In a recent GWAS, Ferreira et al. identified a new association between asthma risk and common variants located on chromosome 8q21. The overarching aim of this thesis was to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying this association. Specifically, the goals of this study were to identify the gene(s) underlying the observed association and to study their contribution to asthma pathophysiology. Using genetic data from the 1000 Genomes Project, we first identified 118 variants in linkage disequilibrium (LD; r2>0.6) with the sentinel allergy risk SNP (rs7009110) on chromosome 8q21. Of these, 35 were found to overlap one of four Putative Regulatory Elements (PREs) identified in this region in a lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL), based on epigenetic marks measured by the ENCODE project. Results from analysis of gene expression data generated for LCLs (n=373) by the Geuvadis consortium indicated that rs7009110 is associated with the expression of only one nearby gene: PAG1 - located 732 kb away. PAG1 encodes a transmembrane adaptor protein localized to lipid rafts, which is highly expressed in immune cells. Results from chromosome conformation capture (3C) experiments showed that PREs in the region of association physically interacted with the promoter of PAG1. -

Hepatitis C Virus As a Unique Human Model Disease to Define
viruses Review Hepatitis C Virus as a Unique Human Model Disease to Define Differences in the Transcriptional Landscape of T Cells in Acute versus Chronic Infection David Wolski and Georg M. Lauer * Liver Center at the Gastrointestinal Unit, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02114, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-617-724-7515 Received: 27 June 2019; Accepted: 23 July 2019; Published: 26 July 2019 Abstract: The hepatitis C virus is unique among chronic viral infections in that an acute outcome with complete viral elimination is observed in a minority of infected patients. This unique feature allows direct comparison of successful immune responses with those that fail in the setting of the same human infection. Here we review how this scenario can be used to achieve better understanding of transcriptional regulation of T-cell differentiation. Specifically, we discuss results from a study comparing transcriptional profiles of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8 T-cells during early HCV infection between patients that do and do not control and eliminate HCV. Identification of early gene expression differences in key T-cell differentiation molecules as well as clearly distinct transcriptional networks related to cell metabolism and nucleosomal regulation reveal novel insights into the development of exhausted and memory T-cells. With additional transcriptional studies of HCV-specific CD4 and CD8 T-cells in different stages of infection currently underway, we expect HCV infection to become a valuable model disease to study human immunity to viruses.
