Dissertation Advisor: Levi Garraway Terence Cheng Wong Integrated and Functional Genomic Approaches to Elucidate Differential Genetic Dependencies in Melanoma ABSTRACT Genomic characterization of human cancers over the past decade has generated comprehensive catalogues of genetic alterations in cancer genomes. Many of these genetic events result in molecular or cellular changes that drive cancer cell phenotypes. In melanoma, a majority of tumors harbor mutations in the BRAF gene, leading to activation of the MAPK pathway and tumor initiation. The development and use of drugs that target the mutant BRAF protein and the MAPK pathway have produced significant clinical benefit in melanoma patients. -

The Mutational Landscape of Myeloid Leukaemia in Down Syndrome
cancers Review The Mutational Landscape of Myeloid Leukaemia in Down Syndrome Carini Picardi Morais de Castro 1, Maria Cadefau 1,2 and Sergi Cuartero 1,2,* 1 Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC), Campus Can Ruti, 08916 Badalona, Spain; [email protected] (C.P.M.d.C); [email protected] (M.C.) 2 Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), Campus Can Ruti, 08916 Badalona, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Leukaemia occurs when specific mutations promote aberrant transcriptional and proliferation programs, which drive uncontrolled cell division and inhibit the cell’s capacity to differentiate. In this review, we summarize the most frequent genetic lesions found in myeloid leukaemia of Down syndrome, a rare paediatric leukaemia specific to individuals with trisomy 21. The evolution of this disease follows a well-defined sequence of events and represents a unique model to understand how the ordered acquisition of mutations drives malignancy. Abstract: Children with Down syndrome (DS) are particularly prone to haematopoietic disorders. Paediatric myeloid malignancies in DS occur at an unusually high frequency and generally follow a well-defined stepwise clinical evolution. First, the acquisition of mutations in the GATA1 transcription factor gives rise to a transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) in DS newborns. While this condition spontaneously resolves in most cases, some clones can acquire additional mutations, which trigger myeloid leukaemia of Down syndrome (ML-DS). These secondary mutations are predominantly found in chromatin and epigenetic regulators—such as cohesin, CTCF or EZH2—and Citation: de Castro, C.P.M.; Cadefau, in signalling mediators of the JAK/STAT and RAS pathways. -

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. -
4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4). -

Genome-Wide Association Study for Circulating Fibroblast Growth Factor

Here we conducted a genome‑wide association study (GWAS) for circulating FGF21 and FGF23 concentrations to identify their genetic determinants. We enrolled 5,000 participants from Taiwan Biobank for this GWAS. After excluding participants with diabetes mellitus and quality control, association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with log‑transformed FGF21 and FGF23 serum concentrations adjusted for age, sex and principal components of ancestry were analyzed. A second model additionally adjusted for body mass index (BMI) and a third model additionally adjusted for BMI and estimated glomerular fltration rate (eGFR) were used. A total of 4,201 participants underwent GWAS analysis. rs67327215, located within RGS6 (a gene involved in fatty acid synthesis), and two other SNPs (rs12565114 and rs9520257, located between PHC2-ZSCAN20 and ARGLU1-FAM155A respectively) showed suggestive associations with serum FGF21 level (P = 6.66 × 10–7, 6.00 × 10–7 and 6.11 × 10–7 respectively). The SNPs rs17111495 and rs17843626 were signifcantly associated with FGF23 level, with the former near PCSK9 gene and the latter near HLA-DQA1 gene (P = 1.04 × 10–10 and 1.80 × 10–8 respectively). -
The E–Id Protein Axis Modulates the Activities of the PI3K–AKT–Mtorc1

However, it remains unknown how E and Id proteins mechanistically enforce and maintain the naı¨ve T-cell fate. Here we show that Id2 and Id3 suppressed the development and expansion of innate variant follicular helper T (TFH) cells. Innate variant TFH cells required major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-like signaling and were associated with germinal center B cells. -
