Prognostic Biomarker TUBA1C Is Correlated to Immune Cell Infiltration Bian et al. Cancer Cell Int (2021) 21:144 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12935-021-01849-4 Cancer Cell International PRIMARY RESEARCH Open Access Prognostic biomarker TUBA1C is correlated to immune cell infltration in the tumor microenvironment of lung adenocarcinoma Tingting Bian1† , Miaosen Zheng1,2†, Daishan Jiang3, Jian Liu4, Hui Sun1, Xiaoli Li1, Lei Liu1, Jianguo Zhang1* and Yifei Liu1,2* Abstract Background: TUBA1C is a microtubule component that is involved in a variety of cancers. Our main objective was to investigate TUBA1C expression, its prognostic value, its potential biological functions, and its impact on the immune system of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Profling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and Immunohis- tochemistry Analysis were used to analyze TUBA1C expression, its clinicopathology, overall survival (OS), and disease- free survival (DFS) in LUAD patients. We also determined the correlation between TUBA1C and tumor-infltrating immune cells (TIICs) by using CIBERSORT and GEPIA databases. To determine the expression of TUBA1C in LUAD, we analyzed a collection of immune infltration levels and cumulative survival of LUAD tissues in TIMER database. By using UALCAN, STRING, and GeneMANIA databases, we investigated the protein-coding genes related to TUBA1C and its co-expression genes in LUAD tissues. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed by using the TCGA dataset. Results: The mRNA and the protein expression of TUBA1C were found to be up-regulated in LUAD tissues. The uni- variate analysis indicated that an increased expression of TUBA1C was signifcantly correlated to the following param- eters: age, stage, and lymph node metastasis. An over-expression of TUBA1C was associated with a poor prognosis of LUAD. In TIMER and CIBERSORT databases, we found that TUBA1C is correlated with 13 types of TIICs: activated B cell, activated CD4 T cell, central memory CD4 T cell, efector memory CD8 T cell, eosinophils, immature B cell, gamma- delta T cell, immature dendritic cell, mast cell, memory B cell, natural killer T cell, regulatory T cell, and type 2T helper cell. By performing GSEA, we found that TUBA1C is closely correlated to cell cycle, p53 signaling pathway, glycolysis, and gluconeogenesis. Conclusions: Our fndings indicate that TUBA1C is associated with TIICs in tumor microenvironment. Therefore, it serves as a novel prognostic biomarker and a target for future treatment methods of LUAD.

    Published OnlineFirst February 28, 2010; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-08-1108 Tumor and Stem Cell Biology Cancer Research Cyclin D1/Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 Interacts with Filamin A and Affects the Migration and Invasion Potential of Breast Cancer Cells Zhijiu Zhong, Wen-Shuz Yeow, Chunhua Zou, Richard Wassell, Chenguang Wang, Richard G. Pestell, Judy N. Quong, and Andrew A. Quong Abstract Cyclin D1 belongs to a family of proteins that regulate progression through the G1-S phase of the cell cycle by binding to cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk)-4 to phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein and release E2F transcription factors for progression through cell cycle. Several cancers, including breast, colon, and prostate, overexpress the cyclin D1 gene. However, the correlation of cyclin D1 overexpression with E2F target gene regulation or of cdk-dependent cyclin D1 activity with tumor development has not been identified. This suggests that the role of cyclin D1 in oncogenesis may be independent of its function as a cell cycle regulator. One such function is the role of cyclin D1 in cell adhesion and motility. Filamin A (FLNa), a member of the actin-binding filamin protein family, regulates signaling events involved in cell motility and invasion. FLNa has also been associated with a variety of cancers including lung cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, human bladder cancer, and neuroblastoma. We hypothesized that elevated cyclin D1 facilitates motility in the invasive MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. We show that MDA-MB-231 motility is affected by disturbing cyclin D1 levels or cyclin D1-cdk4/6 kinase activity.

The green line (x=260) represents the DMD largest connected component, obtaining a z-score=8.9. Figure S3. Shared genes between BMD and DMD signature. A) A meta-analysis of three microarray datasets (GSE3307, GSE13608 and GSE109178) was performed for the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in BMD muscle biopsies as compared to normal muscle biopsies. Briefly, the GSE13608 dataset included 6 samples of skeletal muscle biopsy from healthy people and 5 samples from BMD patients. Biopsies were taken from either biceps brachii, triceps brachii or deltoid. The GSE3307 dataset included 17 samples of skeletal muscle biopsy from healthy people and 10 samples from BMD patients. The GSE109178 dataset included 14 samples of controls and 11 samples from BMD patients. For both GSE3307 and GSE10917 datasets, biopsies were taken at the time of diagnosis and from the vastus lateralis. For the meta-analysis of GSE13608, GSE3307 and GSE109178, a random effects model of effect size measure was used to integrate gene expression patterns from the two datasets. Genes with an adjusted p value (FDR) < 0.05 and an │effect size│>2 were identified as DEGs and selected for further analysis. A significant number of DEGs (p<0.001) were in common with the DMD signature genes (blue nodes), as determined by a hypergeometric test assessing the significance of the overlap between the BMD DEGs and the number of DMD signature genes B) MCODE analysis of the overlapping genes between BMD DEGs and DMD signature genes.

  • Cyclophilin B Facilitates the Replication of Orf Virus Kui Zhao1, Jida Li2, Wenqi He1, Deguang Song1, Ximu Zhang3, Di Zhang1, Yanlong Zhou1 and Feng Gao1,4*
    Zhao et al. Virology Journal (2017) 14:114 DOI 10.1186/s12985-017-0781-x RESEARCH Open Access Cyclophilin B facilitates the replication of Orf virus Kui Zhao1, Jida Li2, Wenqi He1, Deguang Song1, Ximu Zhang3, Di Zhang1, Yanlong Zhou1 and Feng Gao1,4* Abstract Background: Viruses interact with host cellular factors to construct a more favourable environment for their efficient replication. Expression of cyclophilin B (CypB), a cellular peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase), was found to be significantly up-regulated. Recently, a number of studies have shown that CypB is important in the replication of several viruses, including Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16). However, the function of cellular CypB in ORFV replication has not yet been explored. Methods: Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique was applied to identify genes differentially expressed in the ORFV-infected MDBK cells at an early phase of infection. Cellular CypB was confirmed to be significantly up- regulated by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis and Western blotting. The role of CypB in ORFV infection was further determined using Cyclosporin A (CsA) and RNA interference (RNAi). Effect of CypB gene silencing on ORFV replication by 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) assay and qRT-PCR detection. Results: In the present study, CypB was found to be significantly up-regulated in the ORFV-infected MDBK cells at an early phase of infection. Cyclosporin A (CsA) exhibited suppressive effects on ORFV replication through the inhibition of CypB. Silencing of CypB gene inhibited the replication of ORFV in MDBK cells.

  • Gene Expression Within the Periaqueductal Gray Is Linked to Vocal Behavior and Early- Onset Parkinsonism in Pink1 Knockout Rats Cynthia A
    Kelm-Nelson and Gammie BMC Genomics (2020) 21:625 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-020-07037-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Gene expression within the periaqueductal gray is linked to vocal behavior and early- onset parkinsonism in Pink1 knockout rats Cynthia A. Kelm-Nelson1* and Stephen Gammie2 Abstract Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a degenerative disease with early-stage pathology hypothesized to manifest in brainstem regions. Vocal deficits, including soft, monotone speech, result in significant clinical and quality of life issues and are present in 90% of PD patients; yet the underlying pathology mediating these significant voice deficits is unknown. The Pink1−/− rat is a valid model of early-onset PD that presents with analogous vocal communication deficits. Previous work shows abnormal α-synuclein protein aggregation in the periaqueductal gray (PAG), a brain region critical and necessary to the modulation of mammalian vocal behavior. In this study, we used high-throughput RNA sequencing to examine gene expression within the PAG of both male and female Pink1−/− rats as compared to age-matched wildtype controls. We used a bioinformatic approach to (1) test the hypothesis that loss of Pink1 in the PAG will influence the differential expression of genes that interact with Pink1, (2) highlight other key genes that relate to this type of Mendelian PD, and (3) catalog molecular targets that may be important for the production of rat vocalizations. Results: Knockout of the Pink1 gene resulted in differentially expressed genes for both male and female rats that also mapped to human PD datasets. Pathway analysis highlighted several significant metabolic pathways.

Based on our discovery that the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate (DS) displays peculiar affinity to apoptotic cells and autoantigens (autoAgs) and that DS-autoAg complexes cooperatively stimulate autoreactive B1 cell responses, we compiled a database of 751 candidate autoAgs from six human cell types. At least 657 of these have been found to be affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection based on currently available multi-omic COVID data, and at least 400 are confirmed targets of autoantibodies in a wide array of autoimmune diseases and cancer.

  • The Expression of Genes Contributing to Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Progression Is Influenced by the Respective Environment – Sagini Et Al
    The expression of genes contributing to pancreatic adenocarcinoma progression is influenced by the respective environment – Sagini et al Supplementary Figure 1: Target genes regulated by TGM2. Figure represents 24 genes regulated by TGM2, which were obtained from Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. As indicated, 9 genes (marked red) are down-regulated by TGM2. On the contrary, 15 genes (marked red) are up-regulated by TGM2.
