Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Short stature homeobox 2 (SHOX2) methylation detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has recently been demonstrated to be a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of lung cancer. However, more cost-effective methods are still needed to help cancer detection in the early stage of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the methylation status of the SHOX2 gene and to investigate its diagnostic value in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: A total of 89 Chinese NSCLC patients and 9 non-tumor patients was enrolled in this study. The methylation status of SHOX2 gene in NSCLC tumor tissues/corresponding non-neoplastic lung tissues and lung tissues from non-tumor patients was examined by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). Results: We found that SHOX2 methylation was significantly associated with NSCLC (P=0.003). We also analyzed the correlation of SHOX2 methylation with clinicopathological variables including sex, age, tumor pathologic classification, tumor differentiation degree, TNM stage, T stage, and nodal status, and found no significant correlation between them. Conclusions: These results suggested that SHOX2 gene methylation was closely associated with lung carcinogenesis. Thus, SHOX2 methylation could be used as a potential marker to help NSCLC detection. MSP might be used as a cost-effective method alternative to real-time PCR in detection of SHOX2 methylation in the early diagnosis of NSCLC.

Over one million people die from lung cancer globally Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths every year, among which approximately 0.6 million are worldwide (1). In China, lung cancer is the most prevalent from China.

Compared with real-time PCR-based methods, MSP is Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for much more cost-effective. It is also fast, sensitive, and approximately 85% of all lung cancers and carries a specific, and has been widely used for DNA methylation dismal 5-year survival rate of 15% (3). Nevertheless, analyses (15,16). Therefore, we chose to investigate the the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program diagnostic value of SHOX2 methylation detection by MSP Investigators reported that, among 302 participants in lung cancer as this method may reduce costs and thus with clinical stage I lung cancer who underwent surgical may facilitate the use of SHOX2 methylation in large-scale resection within 1 month after diagnosis, the survival rate lung cancer screening, especially in developing countries was 92% (4). These results suggest that timely detection where cost is a limiting factor. Specifically, we examined of lung cancer and appropriate treatment may prevent or SHOX2 methylation by the MSP method in tumor tissue interrupt cancer progression and improve overall survival and corresponding non-tumor lung tissue from a cohort rate. However, more than 75% of lung cancer patients are of Chinese NSCLC patients, and further analyzed the diagnosed at a locally advanced stage or with metastatic diagnostic value of SHOX2 methylation measured by MSP disease, partially due to the lack of an effective screening in NSCLC detection. We present the following article in program for early detection (5). Therefore, simple, safe, accordance with the STARD reporting checklist (available and cost-effective methods to aid in early detection of lung at http://dx.doi.org/10.21037/tcr-20-887). cancer are greatly needed. Tumor markers are molecules specifically expressed by tumor cells or produced by the host in response to Methods tumors. Epigenetic changes of certain genes, such as DNA Patients methylation, could occur at early stage of carcinogenesis, thus could be used as a type of tumor marker.

  • Non-Canonical Notch Signaling During Early Heart Development
    Non-Canonical Notch Signaling During Early Heart Development By Matthew Miyamoto A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Baltimore, Maryland May 2017 ©2017 Matthew Miyamoto All Rights Reserved Abstract: The canonical Notch signaling pathway has been studied extensively and plays a key role during embryonic development. Recent evidence points to the existence of a non-canonical function of the Notch protein. Elucidation of a non-canonical Notch signaling pathway would significantly alter how the Notch protein is viewed in biological systems. Perhaps more importantly, the identification of downstream effectors could lead to discovery of novel gene networks functioning throughout development. One potential downstream effector of non-canonical Notch is Numb, which interacts with Notch during development. We provide evidence of the existence of a non-canonical pathway in both the embryonic stem cell and during early heart development. By developing two models that alter either the Notch protein or the canonical Notch signaling pathway, we studied non-canonical Notch signaling in vitro and in vivo. Upon overexpression of a tethered form of Notch, which cannot initiate canonical Notch signaling, we observed remarkable apoptosis in embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, Notch overexpression during early heart development led to decreased heart size due to decreased myocyte proliferation when the essential transcription factor to canonical Notch signaling, RBP-j, was knocked out. Similar phenotypes observed in a Numb knockout setting led us to hypothesize that an interaction between Numb and Notch is involved in heart development. Elucidation of a non-canonical Notch signaling pathway may lead to not only a better understanding of congenital heart disease, but also development of other organ systems, as well.

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.

Here we show the overexpression of micro-RNAs 132 and 212 enhances insulin secretion (IS) in response to glucose and other secretagogues including non-fuel stimuli. We determined that carnitine acyl-carnitine translocase (CACT, Slc25a20) is a direct target of these miRNAs.

    RESEARCH ARTICLE The Prop1-like homeobox gene unc-42 specifies the identity of synaptically connected neurons Emily G Berghoff1, Lori Glenwinkel1, Abhishek Bhattacharya1, HaoSheng Sun1, Erdem Varol2, Nicki Mohammadi1, Amelia Antone1, Yi Feng1, Ken Nguyen3, Steven J Cook1, Jordan F Wood4, Neda Masoudi1, Cyril C Cros1, Yasmin H Ramadan1, Denise M Ferkey4, David H Hall3, Oliver Hobert1* 1Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia University, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, New York, United States; 2Department of Statistics, Zuckerman Institute, Columbia University, New York, United States; 3Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, United States; 4Department of Biological Sciences, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, United States Abstract Many neuronal identity regulators are expressed in distinct populations of cells in the nervous system, but their function is often analyzed only in specific isolated cellular contexts, thereby potentially leaving overarching themes in gene function undiscovered. We show here that the Caenorhabditis elegans Prop1-like homeobox gene unc-42 is expressed in 15 distinct sensory, inter- and motor neuron classes throughout the entire C. elegans nervous system. Strikingly, all 15 neuron classes expressing unc-42 are synaptically interconnected, prompting us to investigate whether unc-42 controls the functional properties of this circuit and perhaps also the assembly of these neurons into functional circuitry. We found that unc-42 defines the routes of communication between these interconnected neurons by controlling the expression of neurotransmitter pathway genes, neurotransmitter receptors, neuropeptides, and neuropeptide receptors.
