and at present treatment options are still limited. In small studies, Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor (HAVcR-1) has been linked to cancer aetiology and may regulate junctional complexes. Its role in prostate cancer remains unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the expression of HAVcR-1 in prostate cancer samples and explore the cellular and molecular impact of HAVcR-1, with particular focus on junctional complexes, using in vitro models. Methods: Clinical serum samples from prostate cancer patients were tested for HAVcR-1 ectodomain levels through

  • Systems and Chemical Biology Approaches to Study Cell Function and Response to Toxins
    Dissertation submitted to the Combined Faculties for the Natural Sciences and for Mathematics of the Ruperto-Carola University of Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences Presented by MSc. Yingying Jiang born in Shandong, China Oral-examination: Systems and chemical biology approaches to study cell function and response to toxins Referees: Prof. Dr. Rob Russell Prof. Dr. Stefan Wölfl CONTRIBUTIONS The chapter III of this thesis was submitted for publishing under the title “Drug mechanism predominates over toxicity mechanisms in drug induced gene expression” by Yingying Jiang, Tobias C. Fuchs, Kristina Erdeljan, Bojana Lazerevic, Philip Hewitt, Gordana Apic & Robert B. Russell. For chapter III, text phrases, selected tables, figures are based on this submitted manuscript that has been originally written by myself. i ABSTRACT Toxicity is one of the main causes of failure during drug discovery, and of withdrawal once drugs reached the market. Prediction of potential toxicities in the early stage of drug development has thus become of great interest to reduce such costly failures. Since toxicity results from chemical perturbation of biological systems, we combined biological and chemical strategies to help understand and ultimately predict drug toxicities. First, we proposed a systematic strategy to predict and understand the mechanistic interpretation of drug toxicities based on chemical fragments. Fragments frequently found in chemicals with certain toxicities were defined as structural alerts for use in prediction. Some of the predictions were supported with mechanistic interpretation by integrating fragment- chemical, chemical-protein, protein-protein interactions and gene expression data. Next, we systematically deciphered the mechanisms of drug actions and toxicities by analyzing the associations of drugs’ chemical features, biological features and their gene expression profiles from the TG-GATEs database.

  • Cellular Entry and Uncoating of Naked and Quasi-Enveloped Human
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Cellular entry and uncoating of naked and quasi-enveloped human hepatoviruses Efraı´nE Rivera-Serrano1,2, Olga Gonza´ lez-Lo´ pez1,2, Anshuman Das2, Stanley M Lemon2,3* 1Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, United States; 2Department of Medicine, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, United States; 3Department of Microbiology and Immunology, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, United States Abstract Many ‘non-enveloped’ viruses, including hepatitis A virus (HAV), are released non- lytically from infected cells as infectious, quasi-enveloped virions cloaked in host membranes. Quasi-enveloped HAV (eHAV) mediates stealthy cell-to-cell spread within the liver, whereas stable naked virions shed in feces are optimized for environmental transmission. eHAV lacks virus- encoded surface proteins, and how it enters cells is unknown. We show both virion types enter by clathrin- and dynamin-dependent endocytosis, facilitated by integrin b1, and traffic through early and late endosomes. Uncoating of naked virions occurs in late endosomes, whereas eHAV undergoes ALIX-dependent trafficking to lysosomes where the quasi-envelope is enzymatically degraded and uncoating ensues coincident with breaching of endolysosomal membranes. Neither virion requires PLA2G16, a phospholipase essential for entry of other picornaviruses. Thus naked and quasi-enveloped virions enter via similar endocytic pathways, but uncoat in different compartments and release their genomes to the cytosol in a manner mechanistically distinct from other Picornaviridae.

  • Mammalian NPC1 Genes May Undergo Positive Selection And
    Al-Daghri et al. BMC Medicine 2012, 10:140 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/10/140 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Mammalian NPC1 genes may undergo positive selection and human polymorphisms associate with type 2 diabetes Nasser M Al-Daghri1,2,3*, Rachele Cagliani4, Diego Forni4, Majed S Alokail1,2,3, Uberto Pozzoli4, Khalid M Alkharfy1,2,3,5, Shaun Sabico1,2,3, Mario Clerici6,7† and Manuela Sironi4† Abstract Background: The NPC1 gene encodes a protein involved in intracellular lipid trafficking; its second endosomal loop (loop 2) is a receptor for filoviruses. A polymorphism (His215Arg) in NPC1 was associated with obesity in Europeans. Adaptations to diet and pathogens represented powerful selective forces; thus, we analyzed the evolutionary history of the gene and exploited this information for the identification of variants/residues of functional importance in human disease. Methods: We performed phylogenetic analysis, population genetic tests, and genotype-phenotype analysis in a population from Saudi Arabia. Results: Maximum-likelihood ratio tests indicated the action of positive selection on loop 2 and identified three residues as selection targets; these were confirmed by an independent random effects likelihood (REL) analysis. No selection signature was detected in present-day human populations, but analysis of nonsynonymous polymorphisms showed that a variant (Ile642Met, rs1788799) in the sterol sensing domain affects a highly conserved position. This variant and the previously described His215Arg polymorphism were tested for association with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a cohort from Saudi Arabia. Whereas no association with obesity was detected, 642Met allele was found to predispose to T2D. A significant interaction was noted with sex (P = 0.041), and stratification on the basis of gender indicated that the association is driven by men (P = 0.0021, OR = 1.5).

  • Functionally Diverse Human T Cells Recognize Non-Microbial Antigens Presented By
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Functionally diverse human T cells recognize non-microbial antigens presented by MR1 Marco Lepore1, Artem Kalinichenko1, Salvatore Calogero1, Pavanish Kumar2, Bhairav Paleja2, Mathias Schmaler1, Vipin Narang2, Francesca Zolezzi2, Michael Poidinger2,3, Lucia Mori1,2, Gennaro De Libero1,2* 1Department of Biomedicine, University Hospital and University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland; 2Singapore Immunology Network, A*STAR, Singapore, Singapore; 3Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences, A*STAR, Singapore, Singapore Abstract MHC class I-related molecule MR1 presents riboflavin- and folate-related metabolites to mucosal-associated invariant T cells, but it is unknown whether MR1 can present alternative antigens to other T cell lineages. In healthy individuals we identified MR1-restricted T cells (named MR1T cells) displaying diverse TCRs and reacting to MR1-expressing cells in the absence of microbial ligands. Analysis of MR1T cell clones revealed specificity for distinct cell-derived antigens and alternative transcriptional strategies for metabolic programming, cell cycle control and functional polarization following antigen stimulation. Phenotypic and functional characterization of MR1T cell clones showed multiple chemokine receptor expression profiles and secretion of diverse effector molecules, suggesting functional heterogeneity. Accordingly, MR1T cells exhibited distinct T helper-like capacities upon MR1-dependent recognition of target cells expressing physiological levels of surface MR1. These data extend the role of

  • Meta-Analysis of Transcriptomic Variation in T-Cell Populations Reveals Both Variable and Consistent Signatures of Gene Expression and Splicing

Typically, these T-cell subpopulations are defined by the expression of distinct gene repertoires; however, there is variability between studies regarding the methods used for isolation and the markers used to define each T-cell subtype. Therefore, how reliably studies can be compared to one another remains an open ques- tion. Moreover, previous analysis of gene expression in CD4+ T-cell subsets has largely focused on gene expression rather than alternative splicing. Here we take a meta-analysis approach, comparing eleven independent RNA-seq studies of hu- man Th1, Th2, Th17, and/or Treg cells to determine the consistency in gene expression and splicing within each subtype across studies.

E-mail id: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ebola virus disease (EVD) is caused by infection with Ebola virus. Ebola virus disease first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara, Sudan, and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter occurred in a village near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name. Fruit bats are considered possible natural hosts for Ebola virus. Ebola virus enters the patient through mucous membranes, breaks in the skin, or parenterally. EVD is often characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. No FDA-approved vaccine or medicine is available for Ebola. Several vaccines are being developed and the two most advanced vaccines identified based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus expressing an Ebola virus protein (VSV-EBOV) and recombinant chimpanzee adenovirus expressing an Ebola virus protein (ChAd-EBOV) – are currently being tested in humans for safety and efficacy and trials were started.
