Analysis of Trans Esnps Infers Regulatory Network Architecture
Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anat Kreimer All rights reserved ABSTRACT Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer eSNPs are genetic variants associated with transcript expression levels. The characteristics of such variants highlight their importance and present a unique opportunity for studying gene regulation. eSNPs affect most genes and their cell type specificity can shed light on different processes that are activated in each cell. They can identify functional variants by connecting SNPs that are implicated in disease to a molecular mechanism. Examining eSNPs that are associated with distal genes can provide insights regarding the inference of regulatory networks but also presents challenges due to the high statistical burden of multiple testing. Such association studies allow: simultaneous investigation of many gene expression phenotypes without assuming any prior knowledge and identification of unknown regulators of gene expression while uncovering directionality. This thesis will focus on such distal eSNPs to map regulatory interactions between different loci and expose the architecture of the regulatory network defined by such interactions. We develop novel computational approaches and apply them to genetics-genomics data in human. We go beyond pairwise interactions to define network motifs, including regulatory modules and bi-fan structures, showing them to be prevalent in real data and exposing distinct attributes of such arrangements. We project eSNP associations onto a protein-protein interaction network to expose topological properties of eSNPs and their targets and highlight different modes of distal regulation.

Protein.Spotlight a Question of Perspective
Issue 168, April 2015 www.proteinspotlight.org Issue 168 Protein.Spotlight e838 a question of perspective Vivienne Baillie Gerritsen Paradigms are meant to be broken. In the 1980s, biology students were taught “the one gene = one protein” dogma which has since stepped down from its pedestal, as we now know that one gene, by way of any number of post-translational modifications on the protein sequence, can actually give rise to more than one protein. Or what would be more correct: to more than one function. In the same way, structural biologists are beginning to realise that proteins are not always stable bu t that a significant amount exist in particularly unstable forms – which has given them the name “disordered proteins”. Until recently, proteins were thought to fold up into thermodynamically stable forms before getting on with what they had to do. Now we know that it is not necessarily the case. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E- binding protein 2, for instance, is one such disordered protein whose lack of stability gives rise to a new kind of biological regulation. But it took a further 20 years for such a notion to become popular. This is because of the angle from which structural biologists have been observing proteins. It is not an easy task to predict the kinetics and thermodynamics underlying the conformational states of a protein – not to mention those driving its catalytic reactions and binding properties. So, as is the case in scientific research, biologists set a basis from which they can make powerful correlations. In this case, low energy states and a limited number of combinations of macromolecules which provided links between the 3D conformation of proteins and by Jodee Knowles their functions.

B Inhibition in a Mouse Model of Chronic Colitis1
The Journal of Immunology Differential Expression of Inflammatory and Fibrogenic Genes and Their Regulation by NF-␬B Inhibition in a Mouse Model of Chronic Colitis1 Feng Wu and Shukti Chakravarti2 Fibrosis is a major complication of chronic inflammation, as seen in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, two forms of inflam- matory bowel diseases. To elucidate inflammatory signals that regulate fibrosis, we investigated gene expression changes under- lying chronic inflammation and fibrosis in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced murine colitis. Six weekly 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid enemas were given to establish colitis and temporal gene expression patterns were obtained at 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-wk time points. The 6-wk point, TNBS-w6, was the active, chronic inflammatory stage of the model marked by macrophage, neu- trophil, and CD3؉ and CD4؉ T cell infiltrates in the colon, consistent with the idea that this model is T cell immune response driven. Proinflammatory genes Cxcl1, Ccl2, Il1b, Lcn2, Pla2g2a, Saa3, S100a9, Nos2, Reg2, and Reg3g, and profibrogenic extra- cellular matrix genes Col1a1, Col1a2, Col3a1, and Lum (lumican), encoding a collagen-associated proteoglycan, were up-regulated at the active/chronic inflammatory stages. Rectal administration of the NF-␬B p65 antisense oligonucleotide reduced but did not abrogate inflammation and fibrosis completely. The antisense oligonucleotide treatment reduced total NF-␬B by 60% and down- regulated most proinflammatory genes. However, Ccl2, a proinflammatory chemokine known to promote fibrosis, was not down- regulated. Among extracellular matrix gene expressions Lum was suppressed while Col1a1 and Col3a1 were not. Thus, effective treatment of fibrosis in inflammatory bowel disease may require early and complete blockade of NF-␬B with particular attention to specific proinflammatory and profibrogenic genes that remain active at low levels of NF-␬B.

Discovering Pharmacogenomic Variants and Pathways with the Epigenome and Spatial Genome

Athey, Chair Assistant Professor Alan P. Boyle Professor Ivo D. Dinov Research Professor Gerald A. Higgins Professor Wolfgang Sadee, The Ohio State University Ari Lawrence Allyn-Feuer [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-8379-2765 © Ari Allyn-Feuer 2018 Dedication In the epilogue of Altneuland, Theodor Herzl famously wrote: “Dreams are not so different from deeds as some may think. All the deeds of men are dreams at first, and become dreams in the end.” Medical advances undergo a similar progression, from invisible to visible and back. Before they are accomplished, advances in the physician’s art are illegible: no one differentiates from the rest the suffering and death which could be alleviated with methods which do not yet exist. Unavoidable ills have none of the moral force of avoidable ones. Then, for a brief period, beginning shortly before it is deployed in mainstream practice, and slowly concluding over the generation after it becomes widespread, an advance is visible. People see the improvements and celebrate them. Then, subsequently, for the rest of history, if we are lucky, such an advance is more invisible than it was before it was invented. No one tallies the children who do not get polio, the firm ground that used to be a malarial swamp, or the quiet fact of sanitation.
