Dr. Jizhong Zhou, my advisor, is no doubt the most influential and helpful person in pursuing my academic goals. In addition to continuous financial support for the past six years, he is the person who led me into the field of environmental microbiology, from a background of bioinformatics and plant molecular biology. I really appreciated the vast training I received from the many interesting projects I got involved in, without which I would hardly develop my broad experienced background from pure culture microbial genomics to complex metagenomics.

  • RNA As a Source of Transposase for Sleeping Beauty-Mediated Gene Insertion and Expression in Somatic Cells and Tissues

Available online 20 December 2005 Sleeping Beauty (SB) is a DNA transposon capable of mediating gene insertion and long-term expression in vertebrate cells when co-delivered with a source of transposase. In all previous reports of SB-mediated gene insertion in somatic cells, the transposase component has been provided by expression of a co-delivered DNA molecule that has the potential for integration into the host cell genome. Integration and continued expression of a gene encoding SB transposase could be problematic if it led to transposon re-mobilization and re-integration. We addressed this potential problem by supplying the transposase-encoding molecule in the form of mRNA. We show that transposase-encoding mRNA can effectively mediate transposition in vitro in HT1080 cells and in vivo in mouse liver following co-delivery with a recoverable transposon or with a luciferase transposon.

Ong3, Paola Florez de Sessions2, Jie Song2 and Niranjan Nagarajan2,4 Abstract Background: This study aims to characterize, the gut and oral microbiome in Asian subjects with Crohn’s disease (CD) using whole genome shotgun sequencing, thereby allowing for strain-level comparison. Methods: A case–control study with age, sex and ethnicity matched healthy controls was conducted. CD subjects were limited to well-controlled patients without oral manifestations. Fecal and saliva samples were collected for char- acterization of gut and oral microbiome respectively. Microbial DNA were extracted, libraries prepared and sequenced reads profled. Taxonomic diversity, taxonomic association, strain typing and microbial gene pathway analyses were conducted. Results: The study recruited 25 subjects with CD and 25 healthy controls. The oral microbe Streptococcus salivarius was found to be enriched and of concordant strains in the gut and oral microbiome of Crohn’s disease subjects. This was more likely in CD subjects with higher Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (184.3 2.9 vs 67.1 82.5, p 0.012) and active disease status (Diarrhoea/abdominal pain/blood-in-stool/fever and fatigue)± (p 0.016).± Gut species= found to be signifcantly depleted in CD compared to control (Relative abundance: Median[Range])= include: Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (0.03[0.00–4.56] vs 13.69[5.32–18.71], p 0.010), Roseburia inulinivorans (0.00[0.00–0.03] vs 0.21[0.01–0.53], p 0.010) and Alistipes senegalensis (0.00[0.00–0.00]= vs 0.00[0.00–0.02], p 0.029).

  • Exploring the Interplay of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase and Β-Catenin in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
    cancers Review Exploring the Interplay of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase and β-Catenin in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Srishti Kotiyal and Kimberley Jane Evason * Department of Oncological Sciences, Department of Pathology, and Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-801-587-4606 Simple Summary: Liver cancer is one of the deadliest human cancers. Two of the most common molecular aberrations in liver cancer are: (1) activating mutations in the gene encoding β-catenin (CTNNB1); and (2) promoter mutations in telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). Here, we review recent findings regarding the interplay between TERT and β-catenin in order to better understand their role in liver cancer. Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the deadliest human cancers. Activating muta- tions in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter (TERTp) and CTNNB1 gene encoding β-catenin are widespread in HCC (~50% and ~30%, respectively). TERTp mutations are predicted to increase TERT transcription and telomerase activity. This review focuses on exploring the role of TERT and β-catenin in HCC and the current findings regarding their interplay. TERT can have contradictory effects on tumorigenesis via both its canonical and non-canonical functions. As a critical regulator of proliferation and differentiation in progenitor and stem cells, activated β-catenin drives HCC; however, inhibiting endogenous β-catenin can also have pro-tumor effects. Clinical studies revealed a significant concordance between TERTp and CTNNB1 mutations in HCC.

Fermentation produces the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate, propionate and butyrate, which have health-promoting effects for the human host. Here we investigated microbial community changes and SCFA production during in vitro batch incubations of 15 different non-digestible carbohydrates, at two initial pH values with faecal microbiota from three different human donors. To investigate temporal stability and reproducibility, a further experiment was performed 1 year later with four of the carbohydrates. The lower pH (5.5) led to higher butyrate and the higher pH (6.5) to more propionate production.
