Once thought of as an evolutionary artifact, this organelle is now understood to be crucial for regulating important cellular processes, including the cell cycle, cytoskeletal organization, intraflagellar transport and signaling pathways such as hedgehog, notch and canonical and non-canonical Wnt/planar call polarity (PCP) pathways. Proteintech has over 70 antibodies recognizing cilia-related proteins in its catalog.

    doi: 10.1038/nature08795 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary Discussion Population naming In some contexts, the indigenous hunter-gatherer and pastoralist peoples of southern Africa are referred to collectively as the Khoisan (Khoi-San) or more recently Khoesan (Khoe-San) people. This grouping is based on the unique linguistic use of click-consonants1. Many names, often country-specific, have been used by Bantu pastoralists and European settlers to describe the hunter-gatherers, including San, Saan, Sonqua, Soaqua, Souqua, Sanqua, Kwankhala, Basarwa, Batwa, Abathwa, Baroa, Bushmen, Bossiesmans, Bosjemans, or Bosquimanos. In addition, group-specific names such as !Kung and Khwe are often used for the broader population. The two most commonly used names, “San” and “Bushmen”, have both been associated with much controversy due to derogatory connotations2. “San” has become the more popular term used in Western literature, although “Bushmen” is arguably the more commonly recognized term within the communities. Since they have no collective name for themselves, the term Bushmen was selected for use in this paper as the term most familiar to the participants themselves. Regarding identification of individuals The five men identified in this study have all elected to have their identity made public knowledge. Thus we present two complete personal genomes (KB1 and ABT), a low-coverage personal genome (NB1), and personal exomes for all five men. On a scientific level, identification allows for current and future correlation of genetic data with demographic and medical histories. On a social level, identification allows for maximizing community benefit. For !Gubi, G/aq’o, D#kgao and !Aî, their name represents not only themselves, but importantly their extended family unit and a way of life severely under threat.

  • Small Cell Ovarian Carcinoma: Genomic Stability and Responsiveness to Therapeutics

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases 2013, 8:33 http://www.ojrd.com/content/8/1/33 RESEARCH Open Access Small cell ovarian carcinoma: genomic stability and responsiveness to therapeutics Lisa F Gamwell1,2, Karen Gambaro3, Maria Merziotis2, Colleen Crane2, Suzanna L Arcand4, Valerie Bourada1,2, Christopher Davis2, Jeremy A Squire6, David G Huntsman7,8, Patricia N Tonin3,4,5 and Barbara C Vanderhyden1,2* Abstract Background: The biology of small cell ovarian carcinoma of the hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), which is a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer, is poorly understood. Tumourigenicity, in vitro growth characteristics, genetic and genomic anomalies, and sensitivity to standard and novel chemotherapeutic treatments were investigated in the unique SCCOHT cell line, BIN-67, to provide further insight in the biology of this rare type of ovarian cancer. Method: The tumourigenic potential of BIN-67 cells was determined and the tumours formed in a xenograft model was compared to human SCCOHT. DNA sequencing, spectral karyotyping and high density SNP array analysis was performed. The sensitivity of the BIN-67 cells to standard chemotherapeutic agents and to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and the JX-594 vaccinia virus was tested. Results: BIN-67 cells were capable of forming spheroids in hanging drop cultures. When xenografted into immunodeficient mice, BIN-67 cells developed into tumours that reflected the hypercalcemia and histology of human SCCOHT, notably intense expression of WT-1 and vimentin, and lack of expression of inhibin. Somatic mutations in TP53 and the most common activating mutations in KRAS and BRAF were not found in BIN-67 cells by DNA sequencing.

  • Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of KRAS Mutant Cell Lines Ben Yi Tew1,5, Joel K
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of KRAS mutant cell lines Ben Yi Tew1,5, Joel K. Durand2,5, Kirsten L. Bryant2, Tikvah K. Hayes2, Sen Peng3, Nhan L. Tran4, Gerald C. Gooden1, David N. Buckley1, Channing J. Der2, Albert S. Baldwin2 ✉ & Bodour Salhia1 ✉ Oncogenic RAS mutations are associated with DNA methylation changes that alter gene expression to drive cancer. Recent studies suggest that DNA methylation changes may be stochastic in nature, while other groups propose distinct signaling pathways responsible for aberrant methylation. Better understanding of DNA methylation events associated with oncogenic KRAS expression could enhance therapeutic approaches. Here we analyzed the basal CpG methylation of 11 KRAS-mutant and dependent pancreatic cancer cell lines and observed strikingly similar methylation patterns. KRAS knockdown resulted in unique methylation changes with limited overlap between each cell line. In KRAS-mutant Pa16C pancreatic cancer cells, while KRAS knockdown resulted in over 8,000 diferentially methylated (DM) CpGs, treatment with the ERK1/2-selective inhibitor SCH772984 showed less than 40 DM CpGs, suggesting that ERK is not a broadly active driver of KRAS-associated DNA methylation. KRAS G12V overexpression in an isogenic lung model reveals >50,600 DM CpGs compared to non-transformed controls. In lung and pancreatic cells, gene ontology analyses of DM promoters show an enrichment for genes involved in diferentiation and development. Taken all together, KRAS-mediated DNA methylation are stochastic and independent of canonical downstream efector signaling. These epigenetically altered genes associated with KRAS expression could represent potential therapeutic targets in KRAS-driven cancer. Activating KRAS mutations can be found in nearly 25 percent of all cancers1.

  • Genetic Network Identifies Novel Pathways Contributing To
    Albright et al. BMC Medical Genomics 2014, 7:51 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1755-8794/7/51 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genetic network identifies novel pathways contributing to atherosclerosis susceptibility in the innominate artery Jody Albright3, Pamela M Quizon3, Aldons J Lusis4,5,6 and Brian J Bennett1,2,3* Abstract Background: Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, results from both genetic and environmental factors. Methods: In the current study we take a systems-based approach using weighted gene co-expression analysis to identify a candidate pathway of genes related to atherosclerosis. Bioinformatic analyses are performed to identify candidate genes and interactions and several novel genes are characterized using in-vitro studies. Results: We identify 1 coexpression module associated with innominate artery atherosclerosis that is also enriched for inflammatory and macrophage gene signatures. Using a series of bioinformatics analysis, we further prioritize the genes in this pathway and identify Cd44 as a critical mediator of the atherosclerosis. We validate our predictions generated by the network analysis using Cd44 knockout mice. Conclusion: These results indicate that alterations in Cd44 expression mediate inflammation through a complex transcriptional network involving a number of previously uncharacterized genes. Keywords: Atherosclerosis, Co-expression network, inflammation Background act in part by affecting local inflammation in the vessel Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of wall [3-5]. death in the United States and the incidence of CVD is Inflammation is a fundamental biological process that rapidly increasing in other countries [1]. A common cause provides protection from infection, but when dysregulated, of cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis, a pathological acts as a source of chronic disease.
