  • Wolfram Syndrome
    Wolfram syndrome Description Wolfram syndrome is a condition that affects many of the body's systems. The hallmark features of Wolfram syndrome are high blood sugar levels resulting from a shortage of the hormone insulin (diabetes mellitus) and progressive vision loss due to degeneration of the nerves that carry information from the eyes to the brain (optic atrophy). People with Wolfram syndrome often also have pituitary gland dysfunction that results in the excretion of excessive amounts of urine (diabetes insipidus), hearing loss caused by changes in the inner ear (sensorineural deafness), urinary tract problems, reduced amounts of the sex hormone testosterone in males (hypogonadism), or neurological or psychiatric disorders. Diabetes mellitus is typically the first symptom of Wolfram syndrome, usually diagnosed around age 6. Nearly everyone with Wolfram syndrome who develops diabetes mellitus requires insulin replacement therapy. Optic atrophy is often the next symptom to appear, usually around age 11. The first signs of optic atrophy are loss of color vision and side ( peripheral) vision. Over time, the vision problems get worse, and people with optic atrophy are usually blind within approximately 8 years after signs of optic atrophy first begin. In diabetes insipidus, the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain, does not function normally. This abnormality disrupts the release of a hormone called vasopressin, which helps control the body's water balance and urine production. Approximately 70 percent of people with Wolfram syndrome have diabetes insipidus. Pituitary gland dysfunction can also cause hypogonadism in males. The lack of testosterone that occurs with hypogonadism affects growth and sexual development.

  • The NFB Antagonist CDGSH Iron-Sulfur Domain 2 Is a Promising

Nuclear factor κB (NFκB) activation has been shown to exaggerate proinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, which underlies NDs. CDGSH iron-sulfur domain 2 (CISD2) has been shown to be associated with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-β (PPAR- β) to compete for NFκB and antagonize the two aforementioned NFκB-provoked pathogeneses. Therefore, CISD2-based strategies hold promise in the treatment of NDs. CISD2 protein belongs to the human NEET protein family and is encoded by the CISD2 gene (located at 4q24 in humans). In CISD2, the [2Fe-2S] cluster, through coordinates of 3-cysteine-1-histidine on the CDGSH domain, acts as a homeostasis regulator under environmental stress through the transfer of electrons or iron-sulfur clusters.

  • Bioinformatics Tools for the Analysis of Gene-Phenotype Relationships Coupled with a Next Generation Chip-Sequencing Data Processing Pipeline
    Bioinformatics Tools for the Analysis of Gene-Phenotype Relationships Coupled with a Next Generation ChIP-Sequencing Data Processing Pipeline Erinija Pranckeviciene Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Cellular and Molecular Medicine Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa c Erinija Pranckeviciene, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 Abstract The rapidly advancing high-throughput and next generation sequencing technologies facilitate deeper insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the expression of phenotypes in living organisms. Experimental data and scientific publications following this technological advance- ment have rapidly accumulated in public databases. Meaningful analysis of currently avail- able data in genomic databases requires sophisticated computational tools and algorithms, and presents considerable challenges to molecular biologists without specialized training in bioinfor- matics. To study their phenotype of interest molecular biologists must prioritize large lists of poorly characterized genes generated in high-throughput experiments. To date, prioritization tools have primarily been designed to work with phenotypes of human diseases as defined by the genes known to be associated with those diseases. There is therefore a need for more prioritiza- tion tools for phenotypes which are not related with diseases generally or diseases with which no genes have yet been associated in particular. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is a method of choice to study the gene regulation processes responsible for the expression of cellular phenotypes. Among publicly available computational pipelines for the processing of ChIP-Seq data, there is a lack of tools for the downstream analysis of composite motifs and preferred binding distances of the DNA binding proteins.

WFS1 and WFS2 are caused by recessive mutations in the genes Wolfram Syndrome 1 (WFS1) and CDGSH iron sulfur INTRODUCTION domain 2 (CISD2), respectively. To explore the function of CISD2,we Wolfram syndrome (WFS) is an autosomal recessive performed genetic studies in flies with altered expression of its neurodegenerative disease that affects 1 in 770,000 people in the Drosophila orthologue, cisd2. Surprisingly, flies with strong ubiquitous United Kingdom (Barrett et al., 1995). Affected individuals RNAi-mediated knockdown of cisd2 had no obvious signs of altered present with diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy life span, stress resistance, locomotor behavior or several other and deafness (Wolfram, 1938). Other features of this syndrome phenotypes. We subsequently found in a targeted genetic screen, include psychiatric illness (Strom et al., 1998) and renal-tract abnormalities (Barrett et al., 1995). Patients usually die within the however, that altered function of cisd2 modified the effects of third decade of life due to respiratory failure associated with overexpressing the fly orthologues of two lysosomal storage disease brainstem atrophy (Scolding et al., 1996).

Genetic networks provide new mechanistic insights into the diversity of species morphology. In this study, we have integrated the MGI, GEO, and miRNA database to analyze the genetic regulatory networks under morphology difference of integument of humans and mice. We found that the gene expression network in the skin is highly divergent between human and mouse.
