Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common types of malignancy of the urinary system. The pathogenesis and effective diagnosis of ccRCC have become popular topics for research in the previous decade. In the current study, an integrated bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify core genes associated in ccRCC. An expression dataset (GSE105261) was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and included 26 ccRCC and 9 normal kideny samples. Assessment of the microarray dataset led to the recognition of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which was subsequently used for pathway and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. -
Supplemental Information to Mammadova-Bach Et Al., “Laminin Α1 Orchestrates VEGFA Functions in the Ecosystem of Colorectal Carcinogenesis”
Supplemental information to Mammadova-Bach et al., “Laminin α1 orchestrates VEGFA functions in the ecosystem of colorectal carcinogenesis” Supplemental material and methods Cloning of the villin-LMα1 vector The plasmid pBS-villin-promoter containing the 3.5 Kb of the murine villin promoter, the first non coding exon, 5.5 kb of the first intron and 15 nucleotides of the second villin exon, was generated by S. Robine (Institut Curie, Paris, France). The EcoRI site in the multi cloning site was destroyed by fill in ligation with T4 polymerase according to the manufacturer`s instructions (New England Biolabs, Ozyme, Saint Quentin en Yvelines, France). Site directed mutagenesis (GeneEditor in vitro Site-Directed Mutagenesis system, Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France) was then used to introduce a BsiWI site before the start codon of the villin coding sequence using the 5’ phosphorylated primer: 5’CCTTCTCCTCTAGGCTCGCGTACGATGACGTCGGACTTGCGG3’. A double strand annealed oligonucleotide, 5’GGCCGGACGCGTGAATTCGTCGACGC3’ and 5’GGCCGCGTCGACGAATTCACGC GTCC3’ containing restriction site for MluI, EcoRI and SalI were inserted in the NotI site (present in the multi cloning site), generating the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. The SV40 polyA region of the pEGFP plasmid (Clontech, Ozyme, Saint Quentin Yvelines, France) was amplified by PCR using primers 5’GGCGCCTCTAGATCATAATCAGCCATA3’ and 5’GGCGCCCTTAAGATACATTGATGAGTT3’ before subcloning into the pGEMTeasy vector (Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France). After EcoRI digestion, the SV40 polyA fragment was purified with the NucleoSpin Extract II kit (Machery-Nagel, Hoerdt, France) and then subcloned into the EcoRI site of the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. Site directed mutagenesis was used to introduce a BsiWI site (5’ phosphorylated AGCGCAGGGAGCGGCGGCCGTACGATGCGCGGCAGCGGCACG3’) before the initiation codon and a MluI site (5’ phosphorylated 1 CCCGGGCCTGAGCCCTAAACGCGTGCCAGCCTCTGCCCTTGG3’) after the stop codon in the full length cDNA coding for the mouse LMα1 in the pCIS vector (kindly provided by P. -
Hypoxia and Oxygen-Sensing Signaling in Gene Regulation and Cancer Progression
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Hypoxia and Oxygen-Sensing Signaling in Gene Regulation and Cancer Progression Guang Yang, Rachel Shi and Qing Zhang * Department of Pathology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA; [email protected] (G.Y.); [email protected] (R.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-214-645-4671 Received: 6 October 2020; Accepted: 29 October 2020; Published: 31 October 2020 Abstract: Oxygen homeostasis regulation is the most fundamental cellular process for adjusting physiological oxygen variations, and its irregularity leads to various human diseases, including cancer. Hypoxia is closely associated with cancer development, and hypoxia/oxygen-sensing signaling plays critical roles in the modulation of cancer progression. The key molecules of the hypoxia/oxygen-sensing signaling include the transcriptional regulator hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) which widely controls oxygen responsive genes, the central members of the 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG)-dependent dioxygenases, such as prolyl hydroxylase (PHD or EglN), and an E3 ubiquitin ligase component for HIF degeneration called von Hippel–Lindau (encoding protein pVHL). In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about the canonical hypoxia signaling, HIF transcription factors, and pVHL. In addition, the role of 2-OG-dependent enzymes, such as DNA/RNA-modifying enzymes, JmjC domain-containing enzymes, and prolyl hydroxylases, in gene regulation of cancer progression, is specifically reviewed. We also discuss the therapeutic advancement of targeting hypoxia and oxygen sensing pathways in cancer. Keywords: hypoxia; PHDs; TETs; JmjCs; HIFs 1. Introduction Molecular oxygen serves as a co-factor in many biochemical processes and is fundamental for aerobic organisms to maintain intracellular ATP levels [1,2]. -

Potential for and Distribution of Enzymatic Biodegradation of Polystyrene by Environmental Microorganisms
materials Communication Potential for and Distribution of Enzymatic Biodegradation of Polystyrene by Environmental Microorganisms Liyuan Hou and Erica L.-W. Majumder * Department of Chemistry, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +1-3154706854 Abstract: Polystyrene (PS) is one of the main polymer types of plastic wastes and is known to be resistant to biodegradation, resulting in PS waste persistence in the environment. Although previous studies have reported that some microorganisms can degrade PS, enzymes and mechanisms of microorganism PS biodegradation are still unknown. In this study, we summarized microbial species that have been identified to degrade PS. By screening the available genome information of microorganisms that have been reported to degrade PS for enzymes with functional potential to depolymerize PS, we predicted target PS-degrading enzymes. We found that cytochrome P4500s, alkane hydroxylases and monooxygenases ranked as the top potential enzyme classes that can degrade PS since they can break C–C bonds. Ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases may be able to break the side-chain of PS and oxidize the aromatic ring compounds generated from the decomposition of PS. These target enzymes were distributed in Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes, suggesting a broad potential for PS biodegradation in various earth environments and microbiomes. Our results provide insight into the enzymatic degradation of PS and suggestions for realizing the biodegradation of this recalcitrant plastic. Citation: Hou, L.; Majumder, E.L.

Pulmonary Fibrosis Associated with TINF2 Gene Mutation: Is Somatic Reversion Required?
Pulmonary fibrosis associated with TINF2 gene mutation: is somatic reversion required? To the Editor: We read with great interest the case reported by FUKUHARA et al. [1] of a 43-year-old female patient with dyskeratosis congenita, pulmonary fibrosis and heterozygous mutation in TINF2 (telomerase repeat binding factor 1-interacting nuclear factor 2). TIN2, the TINF2 gene product, TERT (telomere reverse transcriptase) and TERC (telomerase RNA component) participate in the regulation of telomere elongation, in which mutations have been previously found to be associated with familial pulmonary fibrosis in adults [2]. Indeed mutations of SFTPC, coding for surfactant protein C, were initially described in children before being described in adults as old as 72 years of age who presented with familial pulmonary fibrosis [3]. However, we were surprised that a TINF2 mutation could be evidenced in an adult of that age. As highlighted by FUKUHARA et al. [1], patients with the TINF2 mutation present with severe haematological symptoms before 10 years of age [4]. As mentioned by FUKUHARA et al. [1], the identified mutation is probably not hypomorphic because it is a frame-shift deletion located in the mutational ‘‘hot spot’’ described previously. Furthermore, the patient presented with very short telomeres. The TINF2 mutation was probably inherited from her father because he had abnormal skin pigmentation and aplastic anaemia [1]. Re-analysis of the gene mutation sequencing could provide new hypotheses for this late disease onset. Indeed, the electrophoregram depicted in figure 1b in the study by FUKUHARA et al. [1] probably comes from a PCR product sub-cloned into an expression vector [5], and does not ensure that the deletion is at the heterozygous status usually seen in our patients (fig. -

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.
