High Throughput Circrna Sequencing Analysis Reveals Novel Insights Into
Xiong et al. Cell Death and Disease (2019) 10:658 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-019-1890-9 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access High throughput circRNA sequencing analysis reveals novel insights into the mechanism of nitidine chloride against hepatocellular carcinoma Dan-dan Xiong1, Zhen-bo Feng1, Ze-feng Lai2,YueQin2, Li-min Liu3,Hao-xuanFu2, Rong-quan He4,Hua-yuWu5, Yi-wu Dang1, Gang Chen 1 and Dian-zhong Luo1 Abstract Nitidine chloride (NC) has been demonstrated to have an anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanism of action of NC against HCC remains largely unclear. In this study, three pairs of NC-treated and NC-untreated HCC xenograft tumour tissues were collected for circRNA sequencing analysis. In total, 297 circRNAs were differently expressed between the two groups, with 188 upregulated and 109 downregulated, among which hsa_circ_0088364 and hsa_circ_0090049 were validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The in vitro experiments showed that the two circRNAs inhibited the malignant biological behaviour of HCC, suggesting that they may play important roles in the development of HCC. To elucidate whether the two circRNAs function as “miRNA sponges” in HCC, we identified circRNA-miRNA and miRNA-mRNA interactions by using the CircInteractome and miRwalk, respectively. Subsequently, 857 miRNA-associated differently expressed genes in HCC were selected for weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Module Eigengene turquoise with 423 genes was found to be significantly related to the survival time, pathology grade and TNM stage of HCC patients. Gene functional enrichment 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; analysis showed that the 423 genes mainly functioned in DNA replication- and cell cycle-related biological processes and signalling cascades. -

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. -

Summary Precise regulation of gene expression networks requires the selective targeting of DNA enhancers. The Evf2 long non-coding RNA regulates Dlx5/6 ultraconserved enhancer(UCE) interactions with long-range target genes, controlling gene expression over a 27Mb region in mouse developing forebrain. Here, we show that Evf2 long range gene repression occurs through multi-step mechanisms involving the transcription factor Sox2, a component of the Evf2 ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP). -
Proteomics Provides Insights Into the Inhibition of Chinese Hamster V79
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Proteomics provides insights into the inhibition of Chinese hamster V79 cell proliferation in the deep underground environment Jifeng Liu1,2, Tengfei Ma1,2, Mingzhong Gao3, Yilin Liu4, Jun Liu1, Shichao Wang2, Yike Xie2, Ling Wang2, Juan Cheng2, Shixi Liu1*, Jian Zou1,2*, Jiang Wu2, Weimin Li2 & Heping Xie2,3,5 As resources in the shallow depths of the earth exhausted, people will spend extended periods of time in the deep underground space. However, little is known about the deep underground environment afecting the health of organisms. Hence, we established both deep underground laboratory (DUGL) and above ground laboratory (AGL) to investigate the efect of environmental factors on organisms. Six environmental parameters were monitored in the DUGL and AGL. Growth curves were recorded and tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics analysis were performed to explore the proliferative ability and diferentially abundant proteins (DAPs) in V79 cells (a cell line widely used in biological study in DUGLs) cultured in the DUGL and AGL. Parallel Reaction Monitoring was conducted to verify the TMT results. γ ray dose rate showed the most detectable diference between the two laboratories, whereby γ ray dose rate was signifcantly lower in the DUGL compared to the AGL. V79 cell proliferation was slower in the DUGL. Quantitative proteomics detected 980 DAPs (absolute fold change ≥ 1.2, p < 0.05) between V79 cells cultured in the DUGL and AGL. Of these, 576 proteins were up-regulated and 404 proteins were down-regulated in V79 cells cultured in the DUGL. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that seven pathways (e.g. -

Its yearling weight and carcass traits (backfat thickness, carcass weight, eye muscle area, and marbling score) are economically important for the selection of young and proven bulls. In recent decades, the advent of high throughput genotyping technologies has made it possible to perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the detection of genomic regions associated with traits of economic interest in different species. In this study, we conducted a weighted single-step genome-wide association study which combines all genotypes, phenotypes and pedigree data in one step (ssGBLUP). It allows for the use of all SNPs simultaneously along with all phenotypes from genotyped and ungenotyped animals. Our results revealed 33 relevant genomic regions related to the traits of interest. -

Genome-Wide DNA Methylation and Long-Term Ambient Air Pollution
Lee et al. Clinical Epigenetics (2019) 11:37 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-019-0635-z RESEARCH Open Access Genome-wide DNA methylation and long- term ambient air pollution exposure in Korean adults Mi Kyeong Lee1 , Cheng-Jian Xu2,3,4, Megan U. Carnes5, Cody E. Nichols1, James M. Ward1, The BIOS consortium, Sung Ok Kwon6, Sun-Young Kim7*†, Woo Jin Kim6*† and Stephanie J. London1*† Abstract Background: Ambient air pollution is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood; epigenetic effects including altered DNA methylation could play a role. To evaluate associations of long-term air pollution exposure with DNA methylation in blood, we conducted an epigenome- wide association study in a Korean chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cohort (N = 100 including 60 cases) using Illumina’s Infinium HumanMethylation450K Beadchip. Annual average concentrations of particulate matter ≤ 10 μmin diameter (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were estimated at participants’ residential addresses using exposure prediction models. We used robust linear regression to identify differentially methylated probes (DMPs) and two different approaches, DMRcate and comb-p, to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Results: After multiple testing correction (false discovery rate < 0.05), there were 12 DMPs and 27 DMRs associated with PM10 and 45 DMPs and 57 DMRs related to NO2. DMP cg06992688 (OTUB2) and several DMRs were associated with both exposures. Eleven DMPs in relation to NO2 confirmed previous findings in Europeans; the remainder were novel. Methylation levels of 39 DMPs were associated with expression levels of nearby genes in a separate dataset of 3075 individuals. -

The 5’ external transcribed spacer (5' ETS) is the most prominent one that recruits U3 snoRNA and a plethora of proteins during the early assembly of 90S small subunit pre-ribosomes. Here, we have conducted a comprehensive mutational analysis of 5' ETS by monitoring the processing and assembly of a plasmid-expressed pre-18S RNA. Remarkably, nearly half of the 5' ETS sequences, when depleted individually, are dispensable for 18S rRNA processing. The dispensable elements largely bind at the surface of 90S structure. Defective assembly of 5' ETS completely blocks the last stage of 90S formation, yet has little effect on the early assembly of 5' and central domain of 18S rRNA. Our study reveals the functional regions of 5' ETS and provides new insight into the assembly hierarchy of 90S pre-ribosomes. -

The immune complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium, leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the complete pathophysiology of the disease is not understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach, we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsy specimens from patients with IgAN (n=19) and controls (n=22). Using curated glomerular cell type–specific genes from the published literature, we found differential expression of a much higher percentage of mesangial cell–positive standard genes than podocyte-positive standard genes in IgAN. Principal coordinate analysis of expression data revealed clear separation of patient and control samples on the basis of mesangial but not podocyte cell–positive standard genes.
