  • A Comparative Analysis of the Transcriptome Profiles of Liver and Muscle Tissue in Pigs Divergent for Feed Efficiency Stafford Vigors1, John V
    Vigors et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:461 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5740-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A comparative analysis of the transcriptome profiles of liver and muscle tissue in pigs divergent for feed efficiency Stafford Vigors1, John V. O’Doherty2, Kenneth Bryan2 and Torres Sweeney1* Abstract Background: The improvement of feed efficiency is a key economic goal within the pig production industry. The objective of this study was to examine transcriptomic differences in both the liver and muscle of pigs divergent for feed efficiency, thus improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms influencing feed efficiency and enabling the identification of candidate biomarkers. Residual feed intake (RFI) was calculated for two populations of pigs from two different farms of origin/genotype. The 6 most efficient (LRFI) and 6 least efficient (HRFI) animals from each population were selected for further analysis of Longissimus Dorsi muscle (n = 22) and liver (n = 23). Transcriptomic data were generated from liver and muscle collected post-slaughter. Results: The transcriptomic data segregated based on the RFI value of the pig rather than genotype/farm of origin. A total of 6463 genes were identified as being differentially expressed (DE) in muscle, while 964 genes were identified as being DE in liver. Genes that were commonly DE between muscle and liver (n = 526) were used for the multi-tissue analysis. These 526 genes were associated with protein targeting to membrane, extracellular matrix organisation and immune function. In the muscle-only analysis, genes associated with RNA processing, protein synthesis and energy metabolism were down regulated in the LRFI animals while in the liver-only analysis, genes associated with cell signalling and lipid homeostasis were up regulated in the LRFI animals.

However, linking common variants to genes that are causal for CKD etiology remains challenging. By adapting self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing, we evaluated the effect of genetic variation on DNA regulatory elements (DREs). Variants in linkage with the CKD-associated single-nucleotide polymorphism rs11959928 were shown to affect DRE function, illustrating that genes regulated by DREs colocalizing with CKD-associated variation can be dysregulated and therefore, considered as CKD candidate genes. To identify target genes of these DREs, we used circular chro- mosome conformation capture (4C) sequencing on glomerular endothelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells. Our 4C analyses revealed interactions of CKD-associated susceptibility regions with the transcriptional start sites of 304 target genes. Overlap with multiple databases confirmed that many of these target genes are involved in kidney homeostasis.

This capacity has largely been ascribed to paracrine factors secreted by nerve-resident Schwann cells. Here, we used single-cell transcriptional profiling to identify ligands made by different injured rodent nerve cell types and have combined this with cell-surface mass spectrometry to computationally model potential paracrine interactions with peripheral neurons. These analyses show that peripheral nerves make many ligands predicted to act on peripheral and CNS neurons, in- cluding known and previously uncharacterized ligands. While Schwann cells are an important ligand source within injured nerves, more than half of the predicted ligands are made by nerve-resident mesenchymal cells, including the endoneurial cells most closely associated with peripheral axons. At least three of these mesen- chymal ligands, ANGPT1, CCL11, and VEGFC, promote growth when locally applied on sympathetic axons.

  • Exploring the Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through Mining of the Human Protein Atlas
    biology Article Exploring the Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Hepatocellular Carcinoma through mining of the Human Protein Atlas Nataša Pavlovi´cand Femke Heindryckx * Department of Medical Cell Biology, Uppsala University, 751 23 Uppsala, Sweden; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly deadly primary liver cancer. It is usually diagnosed at a late stage, when therapeutic options are scarce, and the lack of predictive biomarkers poses a challenge for early detection. A known hallmark of hepatocellular carcinoma is the accu- mulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), known as ER-stress. Growing experimental evidence suggests that ER-stress is involved in liver cancer initiation and progression. However, it remains unclear if ER-stress markers can be used as therapeutic targets or biomarkers for patients with liver cancer. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic value of proteins involved in managing ER-stress in liver cancer by mining a publicly available patient-derived database, the Human Protein Atlas. We thereby identified 44 ER-stress-associated proteins as prognostic markers in liver cancer. Furthermore, we discussed the expression of these markers in relation to disease stage, age, sex, ethnicity, and tissue localization. Abstract: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and actors of unfolded protein response (UPR) have Citation: Pavlovi´c,N.; Heindryckx, F. emerged as key hallmarks of hepatocarcinogenesis.

In this study, we uncovered novel functions of Neurod1 during murine islet cell development and during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) into insulin-producing cells. In mice, we determined that Neurod1 is required for perinatal proliferation of alpha and beta cells. Surprisingly, apoptosis only makes a minor contribution to beta cell loss when Neurod1 is deleted. Inactivation of NEUROD1 in HESCs severely impaired their differentiation from pancreatic progenitors into insulin expressing (HESC-beta) cells; however survival or proliferation was not affected at the time points analyzed. NEUROD1 was also required in HESC-beta cells for the full activation of an essential beta cell transcription factor network.
