One model that is particularly intriguing suggests that this selection stems Mrvi1 maps to chromosome 7 from the fact that Nf1 is a tumor suppressor gene and both alleles of Nf1 need to be inactivated for leukemia The murine chromosomal location of Mrvi1 was to occur. If the ®rst Nf1 allele is inactivated by the determined by interspeci®c backcross analysis using integration of a non-defective B-ecotropic virus then progeny derived from matings of [(C57BL/6J x Mus this would establish viral interference and make it spretus)F1 X C57BL/6J] mice.

These studies identi®ed one new common MRV integration site, Mrvi1 that was targeted by MRV in two BXH2 leukemias. Subsequent studies showed that Mrvi1 encodes a novel protein with limited homology to the lymphoid restricted protein, Jaw1 and that like Jaw1, whose expression is downregulated during lymphoid differ- entiation, Mrvi1 expression is downregulated during myeloid dierentiation. Mrvi1 represents a potentially new tumor suppressor gene involved in mouse and human myeloid leukemia.

  • Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Loci for Arterial Stiffness
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome-wide association study identifes loci for arterial stifness index in 127,121 UK Biobank Received: 1 February 2019 Accepted: 5 June 2019 participants Published: xx xx xxxx Kenneth Fung1, Julia Ramírez 2, Helen R. Warren2,3, Nay Aung 1, Aaron M. Lee1, Evan Tzanis2,3, Stefen E. Petersen 1,3 & Patricia B. Munroe2,3 Arterial stifness index (ASI) is a non-invasive measure of arterial stifness using infra-red fnger sensors (photoplethysmography). It is a well-suited measure for large populations as it is relatively inexpensive to perform, and data can be acquired within seconds. These features raise interest in using ASI as a tool to estimate cardiovascular disease risk as prior work demonstrates increased arterial stifness is associated with elevated systolic blood pressure, and ASI is predictive of cardiovascular disease and mortality. We conducted genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for ASI in 127,121 UK Biobank participants of European-ancestry. Our primary analyses identifed variants at four loci reaching genome-wide signifcance (P < 5 × 10−8): TEX41 (rs1006923; P = 5.3 × 10−12), FOXO1 (rs7331212; P = 2.2 × 10−11), C1orf21 (rs1930290, P = 1.1 × 10−8) and MRVI1 (rs10840457, P = 3.4 × 10−8). Gene- based testing revealed three signifcant genes, the most signifcant gene was COL4A2 (P = 1.41 × 10−8) encoding type IV collagen. Other candidate genes at associated loci were also involved in smooth muscle tone regulation. Our fndings provide new information for understanding the development of arterial stifness. Arterial stifness measures have been reported as independent markers of vascular ageing1,2, hypertension3,4, car- diovascular disease (CVD)5,6 and mortality6,7.

M. Heemskerk2* Patients diagnosed with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP Ia) sufer from hormonal resistance and abnormal postural features, in a condition classifed as Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) syndrome. This syndrome is linked to a maternally inherited mutation in the GNAS complex locus, encoding for the GTPase subunit Gsα. Here, we investigated how platelet phenotype and omics analysis can assist in the often difcult diagnosis. By coupling to the IP receptor, Gsα induces platelet inhibition via adenylyl cyclase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). In platelets from seven patients with suspected AHO, one of the largest cohorts examined, we studied the PKA-induced phenotypic changes. Five patients with a confrmed GNAS mutation, displayed impairments in Gsα- dependent VASP phosphorylation, aggregation, and microfuidic thrombus formation. Analysis of the platelet phosphoproteome revealed 2,516 phosphorylation sites, of which 453 were regulated by Gsα-PKA. Common changes in the patients were: (1) a joint panel of upregulated and downregulated phosphopeptides; (2) overall PKA dependency of the upregulated phosphopeptides; (3) links to key platelet function pathways. In one patient with GNAS mutation, diagnosed as non‑AHO, the changes in platelet phosphoproteome were reversed.

GMP binding activates PRKG1, which phosphorylates serines and threonines on many cellular proteins. Numerous protein targets for PRKG1 phosphorylation are implicated in modulating cellular calcium, but the contribution of each of these targets may vary substantially among cell types. Proteins that are phosphorylated by PRKG1 regulate platelet activation and adhesion, smooth muscle contraction, cardiac function, gene expression, feedback of the NO-signaling pathway, and other processes involved in several aspects of the CNS like axon guidance, hippocampal and cerebellar learning, circadian rhythm and nociception. Smooth muscle relaxation is mediated through lowering of intracellular free calcium, by desensitization of contractile proteins to calcium, and by decrease in the contractile state of smooth muscle or in platelet activation. Regulates intracellular calcium levels via several pathways: phosphorylates MRVI1/IRAG and inhibits IP3-induced Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores, phosphorylation of KCNMA1 (BKCa) channels decreases intracellular Ca(2+) levels, which leads to increased opening of this channel. PRKG1 phosphorylates the canonical transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) family which inactivates the associated inward calcium current. Another mode of action of NO/cGMP/PKGI signaling involves PKGI-mediated inactivation of the Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA). Phosphorylation of RHOA by PRKG1 blocks the action of this protein in myriad processes: regulation of RHOA translocation; decreasing contraction; controlling vesicle trafficking, reduction of myosin light chain phosphorylation resulting in vasorelaxation.

    Kim et al. BMC Cancer 2010, 10:576 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2407/10/576 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Identification of differentially expressed genes using an annealing control primer system in stage III serous ovarian carcinoma Yun-Sook Kim1, Jin Hwan Do2, Sumi Bae2, Dong-Han Bae1, Woong Shick Ahn3* Abstract Background: Most patients with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced stage disease (i.e., stage III-IV), which is associated with a poor prognosis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in stage III serous ovarian carcinoma compared to normal tissue were screened by a new differential display method, the annealing control primer (ACP) system. The potential targets for markers that could be used for diagnosis and prognosis, for stage III serous ovarian cancer, were found by cluster and survival analysis. Methods: The ACP-based reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) technique was used to identify DEGs in patients with stage III serous ovarian carcinoma. The DEGs identified by the ACP system were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR. Cluster analysis was performed on the basis of the expression profile produced by quantitative real-time PCR and survival analysis was carried out by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards multivariate model; the results of gene expression were compared between chemo-resistant and chemo- sensitive groups. Results: A total of 114 DEGs were identified by the ACP-based RT PCR technique among patients with stage III serous ovarian carcinoma. The DEGs associated with an apoptosis inhibitory process tended to be up-regulated clones while the DEGs associated with immune response tended to be down-regulated clones.

Abstract Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting motor neurons (MNs) to cause progressive paralysis. Ninety percent of cases are sporadic (sALS) and ten percent are familial (fALS). The molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration remain elusive and there is a lack of promising biomarkers that define ALS phenotypes and progression. To date, most expression studies have focused on either complex whole tissues that contain cells other than MNs or induced pluripotent derived MNs (iMNs).
