However, most existing TWAS methods rely only on gene expression and ignore epige- 15 netic modification (i.e., DNA methylation) and functional regulatory information (i.e., enhancer- 16 promoter interactions), both of which contribute significantly to the genetic basis ofAD. -

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. -
Dynamic Transcriptomic Profiles of Zebrafish Gills in Response to Zinc
Zheng et al. BMC Genomics 2010, 11:548 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/11/548 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Dynamic transcriptomic profiles of zebrafish gills in response to zinc depletion Dongling Zheng1,4, Peter Kille2, Graham P Feeney2, Phil Cunningham1, Richard D Handy3, Christer Hogstrand1* Abstract Background: Zinc deficiency is detrimental to organisms, highlighting its role as an essential micronutrient contributing to numerous biological processes. To investigate the underlying molecular events invoked by zinc depletion we performed a temporal analysis of transcriptome changes observed within the zebrafish gill. This tissue represents a model system for studying ion absorption across polarised epithelial cells as it provides a major pathway for fish to acquire zinc directly from water whilst sharing a conserved zinc transporting system with mammals. Results: Zebrafish were treated with either zinc-depleted (water = 2.61 μgL-1; diet = 26 mg kg-1) or zinc-adequate (water = 16.3 μgL-1; diet = 233 mg kg-1) conditions for two weeks. Gill samples were collected at five time points and transcriptome changes analysed in quintuplicate using a 16K oligonucleotide array. Of the genes represented the expression of a total of 333 transcripts showed differential regulation by zinc depletion (having a fold-change greater than 1.8 and an adjusted P-value less than 0.1, controlling for a 10% False Discovery Rate). Down-regulation was dominant at most time points and distinct sets of genes were regulated at different stages. Annotation enrichment analysis revealed that ‘Developmental Process’ was the most significantly overrepresented Biological Process GO term (P = 0.0006), involving 26% of all regulated genes. -

Abstract Proteins that drive processes like clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) are expressed at various copy numbers within a cell, from hundreds (e.g. auxilin) to millions (e.g. clathrin). Between cell types with identical genomes, copy numbers further vary significantly both in absolute and relative abundance. These variations contain essential information about each protein’s function, but how significant are these variations and how can they be quantified to infer useful functional behavior? Here, we address this by quantifying the stoichiometry of proteins involved in the CME network. We find robust trends across three cell types in proteins that are sub- vs super-stoichiometric in terms of protein function, network topology (e.g. -

Loss of the Arp2/3 Complex Component ARPC1B Causes Platelet Abnormalities and Predisposes to Inflammatory Disease
ARTICLE Received 9 Nov 2016 | Accepted 31 Jan 2017 | Published 3 Apr 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14816 OPEN Loss of the Arp2/3 complex component ARPC1B causes platelet abnormalities and predisposes to inflammatory disease Walter H.A.

Muise1,3,4,5 Human actin-related protein 2/3 complex (Arp2/3), required for actin filament branching, has two ARPC1 component isoforms, with ARPC1B prominently expressed in blood cells. Here we show in a child with microthrombocytopenia, eosinophilia and inflammatory disease, a homozygous frameshift mutation in ARPC1B (p.Val91Trpfs*30). Platelet lysates reveal no ARPC1B protein and greatly reduced Arp2/3 complex. Missense ARPC1B mutations are identified in an unrelated patient with similar symptoms and ARPC1B deficiency. ARPC1B- deficient platelets are microthrombocytes similar to those seen in Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome that show aberrant spreading consistent with loss of Arp2/3 function. Knockout of ARPC1B in megakaryocytic cells results in decreased proplatelet formation, and as observed in platelets from patients, increased ARPC1A expression. Thus loss of ARPC1B produces a unique set of platelet abnormalities, and is associated with haematopoietic/immune symptoms affecting cell lineages where this isoform predominates. In agreement with recent experimental studies, our findings suggest that ARPC1 isoforms are not functionally interchangeable.
