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.

University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Genomic, proteomic and other experimentally generated data from studies of biological systems aiming to discover disease biomarkers are currently analyzed without sufficient supporting evidence from the literature due to complexities associated with automated processing. Extracting prior knowledge about markers associated with biological sample types and disease states from the literature is tedious, and little research has been performed to understand how to use this knowledge to inform the generation of classification models from ‘omic’ data. Using pathway analysis methods to better understand the underlying biology of complex diseases such as breast and lung cancers is state-of-the-art. However, the problem of how to combine literature- mining evidence with pathway analysis evidence is an open problem in biomedical informatics research.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

  • An Integrative Bioinformatics Approach Reveals Coding and Non-Coding
    www.nature.com/bjc ARTICLE Genetics & Genomics An integrative bioinformatics approach reveals coding and non-coding gene variants associated with gene expression profiles and outcome in breast cancer molecular subtypes Balázs Győrffy1,2,Lőrinc Pongor1,2, Giulia Bottai3, Xiaotong Li4, Jan Budczies5, András Szabó2, Christos Hatzis4, Lajos Pusztai4 and Libero Santarpia3 BACKGROUND: Sequence variations in coding and non-coding regions of the genome can affect gene expression and signalling pathways, which in turn may influence disease outcome. METHODS: In this study, we integrated somatic mutations, gene expression and clinical data from 930 breast cancer patients included in the TCGA database. Genes associated with single mutations in molecular breast cancer subtypes were identified by the Mann-Whitney U-test and their prognostic value was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Results were confirmed using gene expression profiles from the Metabric data set (n = 1988) and whole-genome sequencing data from the TCGA cohort (n = 117). RESULTS: The overall mutation rate in coding and non-coding regions were significantly higher in ER-negative/HER2-negative tumours (P = 2.8E–03 and P = 2.4E–07, respectively). Recurrent sequence variations were identified in non-coding regulatory regions of several cancer-associated genes, including NBPF1, PIK3CA and TP53. After multivariate regression analysis, gene signatures associated with three coding mutations (CDH1, MAP3K1 and TP53) and two non-coding variants (CRTC3 and STAG2)in cancer-related genes predicted prognosis in ER-positive/HER2-negative tumours. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that sequence alterations influence gene expression and oncogenic pathways, possibly affecting the outcome of breast cancer patients.

The role of gene-expression during learning and short-term 19 memory has been studied extensively, but little is known about remote memory that can persist 20 for a lifetime. Using long-term contextual fear memory as a paradigm, an activity-dependent 21 transgenic model for engram-specific labeling, and single-cell transcriptomics we probed the 22 gene-expression landscape underlying remote memory consolidation and recall in the medial 23 prefrontal cortex. Remarkably, we find sustained activity-specific transcriptional alterations in 24 diverse populations of neurons that persist even weeks after fear-learning and are distinct from 25 those previously identified in learning.

ABSTRACT Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most important health problem affecting the quality of life and contributing to a high burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders is crucial for the development of efficient treatments. In this thesis, musculoskeletal disorders including muscle wasting, bone loss and cartilage deformation have been studied using systems biology approaches. Muscle wasting occurring as a systemic effect in COPD patients has been investigated with an integrative network inference approach. This work has lead to a model describing the relationship between muscle molecular and physiological response to training and systemic inflammatory mediators. This model has shown for the first time that oxygen dependent changes in the expression of epigenetic modifiers and not chronic inflammation may be causally linked to muscle dysfunction.
