ABSTRACT Background Although AKI lacks effective therapeutic approaches, preventive strategies using precondi- tioning protocols, including caloric restriction and hypoxic preconditioning, have been shown to prevent injury in animal models. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the enhanced resistance to AKI conferred by such approaches is needed to facilitate clinical use. We hypothesized that these preconditioning strategies use similar pathways to augment cellular stress resistance. Methods To identify genes and pathways shared by caloric restriction and hypoxic preconditioning, we used RNA-sequencing transcriptome profiling to compare the transcriptional response with both modes of preconditioning in mice before and after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Results The gene expression signatures induced by both preconditioning strategies involve distinct com- mon genes and pathways that overlap significantly with the transcriptional changes observed after ischemia-reperfusion injury. These changes primarily affect oxidation-reduction processes and have a major effect on mitochondrial processes. We found that 16 of the genes differentially regulated by both modes of preconditioning were strongly correlated with clinical outcome; most of these genes had not previously been directly linked to AKI. Conclusions This comparative analysis of the gene expression signatures in preconditioning strategies shows overlapping patterns in caloric restriction and hypoxic preconditioning, pointing toward common molecular mechanisms. Our analysis identified a limited set of target genes not previously known to be associated with AKI; further study of their potential to provide the basis for novel preventive strategies is warranted. To allow for optimal interactive usability of the data by the kidney research community, we provide an online interface for user-defined interrogation of the gene expression datasets (http://shiny. cecad.uni-koeln.de:3838/IRaP/).

  • Neurodevelopmental Signatures of Narcotic and Neuropsychiatric Risk Factors in 3D Human-Derived Forebrain Organoids
    Molecular Psychiatry www.nature.com/mp ARTICLE OPEN Neurodevelopmental signatures of narcotic and neuropsychiatric risk factors in 3D human-derived forebrain organoids 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 Michael Notaras , Aiman Lodhi , Estibaliz✉ Barrio-Alonso , Careen Foord , Tori Rodrick , Drew Jones , Haoyun Fang , David Greening 3,4 and Dilek Colak 1,5 © The Author(s) 2021 It is widely accepted that narcotic use during pregnancy and specific environmental factors (e.g., maternal immune activation and chronic stress) may increase risk of neuropsychiatric illness in offspring. However, little progress has been made in defining human- specific in utero neurodevelopmental pathology due to ethical and technical challenges associated with accessing human prenatal brain tissue. Here we utilized human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to generate reproducible organoids that recapitulate dorsal forebrain development including early corticogenesis. We systemically exposed organoid samples to chemically defined “enviromimetic” compounds to examine the developmental effects of various narcotic and neuropsychiatric-related risk factors within tissue of human origin. In tandem experiments conducted in parallel, we modeled exposure to opiates (μ-opioid agonist endomorphin), cannabinoids (WIN 55,212-2), alcohol (ethanol), smoking (nicotine), chronic stress (human cortisol), and maternal immune activation (human Interleukin-17a; IL17a). Human-derived dorsal forebrain organoids were consequently analyzed via an array of unbiased and high-throughput analytical approaches, including state-of-the-art TMT-16plex liquid chromatography/mass- spectrometry (LC/MS) proteomics, hybrid MS metabolomics, and flow cytometry panels to determine cell-cycle dynamics and rates of cell death. This pipeline subsequently revealed both common and unique proteome, reactome, and metabolome alterations as a consequence of enviromimetic modeling of narcotic use and neuropsychiatric-related risk factors in tissue of human origin.

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.

Göhlmann1 Phenomic profles are high‑dimensional sets of readouts that can comprehensively capture the biological impact of chemical and genetic perturbations in cellular assay systems. Phenomic profling of compound libraries can be used for compound target identifcation or mechanism of action (MoA) prediction and other applications in drug discovery. To devise an economical set of phenomic profling assays, we assembled a library of 1,008 approved drugs and well‑characterized tool compounds manually annotated to 218 unique MoAs, and we profled each compound at four concentrations in live‑cell, high‑content imaging screens against a panel of 15 reporter cell lines, which expressed a diverse set of fuorescent organelle and pathway markers in three distinct cell lineages. For 41 of 83 testable MoAs, phenomic profles accurately ranked the reference compounds (AUC‑ROC ≥ 0.9). MoAs could be better resolved by screening compounds at multiple concentrations than by including replicates at a single concentration. Screening additional cell lineages and fuorescent markers increased the number of distinguishable MoAs but this efect quickly plateaued. There remains a substantial number of MoAs that were hard to distinguish from others under the current study’s conditions.

However, the overall impact of ion channels on tumorigenicity in breast cancer remains controversial. Methods: We conduct microarray meta-analysis on 280 ion channel genes. We identify candidate ion channels that are implicated in breast cancer based on gene expression profiling. We test the relationship between the expression of ion channel genes and p53 mutation status, ER status, and histological tumor grade in the discovery cohort. A molecular signature consisting of ion channel genes (IC30) is identified by Spearman’s rank correlation test conducted between tumor grade and gene expression. A risk scoring system is developed based on IC30. We test the prognostic power of IC30 in the discovery and seven validation cohorts by both Cox proportional hazard regression and log-rank test.

While its lethal role is well known, the details of its mitochondrial function remain elusive. So far, nineteen allelic variants of AIF have been associated to human diseases, mainly affecting the nervous system. A strict correlation is emerging between the degree of impairment of its ability to stabilize the charge- transfer (CT) complex between FAD and NAD+ and the severity of the resulting pathology. Recently, we demonstrated that the G307E replacement in murine AIF (equivalent to the pathogenic G308E in the human protein) dramatically decreases the rate of CT complex formation through the destabilization of the flavoprotein interaction with NAD(H).

Mancuso1,w, David A. Cairns1,w, Giulio Pavesi3, Stefano Casola2 & Tiziana Bonaldi1 The synergism between c-MYC and miR-17-19b, a truncated version of the miR-17-92 cluster, is well-documented during tumor initiation. However, little is known about miR-17-19b function in established cancers. Here we investigate the role of miR-17-19b in c-MYC-driven lymphomas by integrating SILAC-based quantitative proteomics, transcriptomics and 30 untranslated region (UTR) analysis upon miR-17-19b overexpression. We identify over one hundred miR-17-19b targets, of which 40% are co-regulated by c-MYC. Downregulation of a new miR-17/20 target, checkpoint kinase 2 (Chek2), increases the recruitment of HuR to c- MYC transcripts, resulting in the inhibition of c-MYC translation and thus interfering with in vivo tumor growth. Hence, in established lymphomas, miR-17-19b fine-tunes c-MYC activity through a tight control of its function and expression, ultimately ensuring cancer cell homeostasis. Our data highlight the plasticity of miRNA function, reflecting changes in the mRNA landscape and 30 UTR shortening at different stages of tumorigenesis. 1 Department of Experimental Oncology, European Institute of Oncology, Via Adamello 16, Milan 20139, Italy. 2 Units of Genetics of B cells and lymphomas, IFOM, FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology Foundation, Milan 20139, Italy.

  • Intrinsic Indicators for Specimen Degradation
    Laboratory Investigation (2013) 93, 242–253 & 2013 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0023-6837/13 $32.00 Intrinsic indicators for specimen degradation Jie Li1, Catherine Kil1, Kelly Considine1, Bartosz Smarkucki1, Michael C Stankewich1, Brian Balgley2 and Alexander O Vortmeyer1 Variable degrees of molecular degradation occur in human surgical specimens before clinical examination and severely affect analytical results. We therefore initiated an investigation to identify protein markers for tissue degradation assessment. We exposed 4 cell lines and 64 surgical/autopsy specimens to defined periods of time at room temperature before procurement (experimental cold ischemic time (CIT)-dependent tissue degradation model). Using two-dimen- sional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis in conjunction with mass spectrometry, we performed comparative proteomic analyses on cells at different CIT exposures and identified proteins with CIT-dependent changes. The results were validated by testing clinical specimens with western blot analysis. We identified 26 proteins that underwent dynamic changes (characterized by continuous quantitative changes, isoelectric changes, and/or proteolytic cleavages) in our degradation model. These changes are strongly associated with the length of CIT. We demonstrate these proteins to represent universal tissue degradation indicators (TDIs) in clinical specimens. We also devised and implemented a unique degradation measure by calculating the quantitative ratio between TDIs’ intact forms and their respective degradation-

Methods: We performed WES in 113 MD suspected patients from Polish paediatric reference centre, in whom routine testing failed to identify a molecular defect. WES was performed using TruSeqExome enrichment, followed by variant prioritization, validation by Sanger sequencing, and segregation with the disease phenotype in the family. Results: Likely causative mutations were identified in 67 (59.3 %) patients; these included variants in mtDNA (6 patients) and nDNA: X-linked (9 patients), autosomal dominant (5 patients), and autosomal recessive (47 patients, 11 homozygotes). Novel variants accounted for 50.5 % (50/99) of all detected changes. In 47 patients, changes in 31 MD-related genes (ACAD9, ADCK3, AIFM1, CLPB, COX10, DLD, EARS2, FBXL4, MTATP6, MTFMT, MTND1, MTND3, MTND5, NAXE, NDUFS6, NDUFS7, NDUFV1, OPA1, PARS2, PC, PDHA1, POLG, RARS2, RRM2B, SCO2, SERAC1, SLC19A3, SLC25A12, TAZ, TMEM126B, VARS2) were identified. The ACAD9, CLPB, FBXL4, PDHA1 genes recurred more than twice suggesting higher general/ethnic prevalence. In 19 cases, variants in 18 non-MD related genes (ADAR, CACNA1A, CDKL5, CLN3, CPS1, DMD, DYSF, GBE1, GFAP, HSD17B4, MECP2, MYBPC3, PEX5, PGAP2, PIGN, PRF1, SBDS, SCN2A) were found.
