Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) is a transcription factor (TF) knoWn to control breast cancer cell cycle progression. DNA response elements bound by NRF1 positively correlate With the progression of malignant breast cancer. Mechanistic aspects by Which NRF1 contributes to susceptibility to different breast tumor subtypes are still not fully understood. Therefore, the primary objective of this dissertation was to decipher mechanisms by Which NRF1 coordinates changes in the transcriptional and chromatin landscape affecting development and progression of invasive breast cancer. Our hypothesis was that NRF1 reprogramming the transcription of tumor initiating gene(s) and tumor suppressor gene(s) contribute in the development and progression of vii invasive breast cancer. To test this hypothesis, We proposed three specific aims: (a) Decipher regulatory landscape of NRF1 netWorks in breast cancer. (b) Determine the role of NRF1 gene netWorks in different subtypes of breast cancer. (c) Determine differential NRF1 gene netWork sensitivity contributing to breast cancer disparities. Our approach to test these aims consisted of a systematic integration of ChIP DNA-seq, RNA-Seq, NRF1 protein-DNA motif binding, signal pathWay analysis, and Bayesian machine learning. We uncovered a novel oncogenic role for NRF1. This discovery strongly supported the supposition that NRF1 overexpression is sufficient to derive breast tumorigenesis. We also observed neW roles for NRF1 in the acquisition of breast tumor initiating cells, regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), and invasiveness of BC stem cells. Furthermore, through the use of Bayesian netWork structure learning we found that the NRF1 motif Was enriched in 14 associated With HER2 amplified breast cancer. Three genes—GSK3B, E2F3, and PIK3CA—Were able to predict HER2 breast tumor status With 96% to100% confidence. The findings of this study also shoWed the roles of NRF1 sensitivity to development of lobular A, Her2+, and TNBC in different racial/ethnic groups of breast cancer patients. In summary, our study revealed for the first time the role of NRF1 in the pathogenesis of invasive BC and BC disparities. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I.

  • Comparative Transcriptome Analyses Indicate Molecular Homology of Zebrafish Swimbladder and Mammalian Lung
    Comparative Transcriptome Analyses Indicate Molecular Homology of Zebrafish Swimbladder and Mammalian Lung Weiling Zheng1, Zhengyuan Wang1, John E. Collins2, Robert M. Andrews2, Derek Stemple2, Zhiyuan Gong1* 1 Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore, 2 Vertebrate Development and Genetics, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, Cambridge, United Kingdom Abstract The fish swimbladder is a unique organ in vertebrate evolution and it functions for regulating buoyancy in most teleost species. It has long been postulated as a homolog of the tetrapod lung, but the molecular evidence is scarce. In order to understand the molecular function of swimbladder as well as its relationship with lungs in tetrapods, transcriptomic analyses of zebrafish swimbladder were carried out by RNA-seq. Gene ontology classification showed that genes in cytoskeleton and endoplasmic reticulum were enriched in the swimbladder. Further analyses depicted gene sets and pathways closely related to cytoskeleton constitution and regulation, cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix. Several prominent transcription factor genes in the swimbladder including hoxc4a, hoxc6a, hoxc8a and foxf1 were identified and their expressions in developing swimbladder during embryogenesis were confirmed. By comparison of enriched transcripts in the swimbladder with those in human and mouse lungs, we established the resemblance of transcriptome of the zebrafish swimbladder and mammalian lungs. Based on the transcriptomic data of zebrafish swimbladder, the predominant functions of swimbladder are in its epithelial and muscular tissues. Our comparative analyses also provide molecular evidence of the relatedness of the fish swimbladder and mammalian lung. Citation: Zheng W, Wang Z, Collins JE, Andrews RM, Stemple D, et al.

Integral to this tool are the \seq2gene" and \gene2pathway" components in series that infer a quantitative pathway-level profile for each sample. The seq2gene function assigns phenotype-associated significance of genomic regions to gene-level scores, where the significance could be p-values of SNPs or point mutations, protein-binding affinity, or transcriptional expression level. The seq2gene function has the feasibility to assign non-exon regions to a range of neighboring genes besides the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding elements[2]. Then the gene2pathway summarizes gene-level measurements to pathway-level scores, comparing the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway with those outside a pathway.

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.

The encoded protein likely promotes hydrolysis of ARF1-bound GTP, which is required for the dissociation of coat proteins from Golgi- derived membranes and vesicles. Dissociation of the coat proteins is a prerequisite for the fusion of these vesicles with target compartments. The activity of this protein is sensitive to phospholipids. This gene was originally known as ARFGAP1, but that is now the name of a related but different gene.
