  • Mouse Wasf1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
    https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Wasf1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Wasf1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Wasf1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_031877 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000019831 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 10. 9 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TAA stop codon in exon 9 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000019975). Exon 3~7 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mutation of this gene has been associated with both morphological and functional defects of the central nervous system. Targeted mutagenesis has resulted in mice that display sensorimotor and cognitive defects similar to those exhibited by patients with 3p-syndrome mental retardation. Exon 3 starts from about 7.99% of the coding region. Exon 3~7 covers 45.32% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~8173 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Inflammation plays a pivotal role in disease process and involves intricate interaction among leukocytes, platelets, sickle erythrocytes and vascular endothelium. Available disease modifying therapies are hydroxyl-urea and blood transfusion. Therefore, it is of interest to develop improved pharmacological agents for SCD. We report up-regulated genes in steady state and vaso-occlusive crisis using analysis of gene expression data obtained by microarray experiment for SCD as potential targets. The association of these targets with inflammation in pathway analysis is also documented. Keywords: Sickle cell disease, vaso-occlusive crisis, inflammation, gene expression, pathophysiology, drug targets. Background: vascular endothelium. Leukocytosis and activation of neutrophils Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a life threatening hemoglobin disorder and monocytes further increases vascular inflammation and affecting about 5% of world population and is prevalent in India endothelial damage and plays as a trigger for VOC [3]. In and other parts of the world including Sub-Saharan Africa and addition to vaso-occlusion, inflammation plays a pivotal role in Middle East.

Dysfunction of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a critical cortical subregion that controls learning, decision-making, and prediction of reward outcomes, contributes to executive cognitive function deficits in alcoholic individuals. Electrophysiological and quantitative synaptomics tech- niques were used to test the hypothesis that heavy drinking produces neuroadaptations in the macaque OFC. Integrative bioinformatics and reverse genetic approaches were used to identify and validate synaptic proteins with novel links to heavy drinking in BXD mice. In drinking monkeys, evoked firing of OFC pyramidal neurons was reduced, whereas the amplitude and frequency of postsynaptic currents were enhanced compared with controls. Bath application of alcohol reduced evoked firing in neurons from control monkeys, but not drinking monkeys. Profiling of the OFC synaptome identified alcohol-sensitive proteins that control glutamate release (e.g., SV2A, synaptogyrin-1) and postsynaptic signaling (e.g., GluA1, PRRT2) with no changes in synaptic GABAergic proteins.

  • Effect of Myoferlin Depletion on Breast Cancer Cell Motility THESIS
    Effect of Myoferlin Depletion on Breast Cancer Cell Motility THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Leonithas Ioannis Volakis Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering The Ohio State University 2011 Master's Examination Committee: Professor Douglas A. Kniss, Advisor Professor Samir N. Ghadiali Professor Heather M. Powell Copyright by Leonithas Ioannis Volakis 2011 Abstract Cancer metastasis requires tumor cell invasion, migration, and proliferation. Cell migration involves a complex series of processes that extend membrane protrusions to form substrate adhesions that cause cytoskeleton contraction within the cell. Further, cell migration is central to tissue repair, regeneration, development, cancer, and inflammation. The ferlins, an evolutionary conserved protein family, have been implicated as critical to maintaining plasma membranes. Specifically, myoferlin (MYOF), a mammalian ferlin, has been shown as responsible for membrane exocytosis/endocytosis and myoblast fusion. More recent studies have demonstrated that MYOF affects the anti-angiogenic response of endothelial cells and impacts the invasive ability of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. It has also been noted that ablating MYOF using RNAi strategies results in consistent cell proliferation rates and a mesenchymal to epithelial phenotypic transformation. In this study, we present quantified 2D morphologic and migration differences in MDA-MB-231 wild-type (231WT) and RNAi-mediated MYOF-deficient (231MYOFKD) human breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231) cells. Morphometrics found that MYOF deficiency led to significant differences in lamellipodia number and surface area, filopodia length, and cell surface area. These marked changes could suggest that MYOF plays a role in regulating cytoskeletal arrangement in breast cancer cells.

  • Functional Genomics of Cohesin Acetyltransferases in Human Cells
    FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS OF COHESIN ACETYLTRANSFERASES IN HUMAN CELLS by Sadia Rahman A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy New York, NY March, 2014 __________________________ _________________ Prasad V. Jallepalli, MD, PhD Date Dissertation Mentor ABSTRACT Accurate chromosome segregation during cell division requires that sister chromatids be physically linked from the time of their replication until their separation at anaphase. The cohesin complex, consisting of SMC1, SMC3, RAD21 and SCC3 arranges to form a ring-shaped structure that holds sister chromatids together. Acetylation of the cohesin SMC3 subunit by acetyltransferases ESCO1 and ESCO2 is essential for cohesion establishment. In addition to cohesion, cohesin also has roles in gene expression through its regulation of chromatin architecture. Acetylation of cohesin by ESCO1/2 is regulated temporally and spatially. In human cells, it begins in G1 phase, rises in S-phase and persists until mitosis. The reaction occurs only on DNA-bound cohesin and SMC3 is quickly deacetylated after cohesin is removed from DNA. In this study, we map genome-wide ESCO1/2 and AcSMC3 sites by ChIP- Seq, study their regulation, and contribution to cohesion and gene expression functions. Genome-wide mapping of ESCO1/2 reveals that they differ in their distribution: ESCO1 has many discrete binding sites that largely overlap with cohesin/CTCF sites, whereas ESCO2 has few sites of enrichment. A monoclonal antibody against the acetylated form of cohesin was also generated in this study to map cohesin acetylation, and this shows that cohesin is already acetylated in G1 at the majority of its sites and that this depends on ESCO1.
