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.

Since C.elegans and humans have 3 approximately the same number of genes, the explanation will depend on how genes are 4 used, rather than their absolute number.

  • Placenta-Derived Exosomes Continuously Increase in Maternal
    Sarker et al. Journal of Translational Medicine 2014, 12:204 http://www.translational-medicine.com/content/12/1/204 RESEARCH Open Access Placenta-derived exosomes continuously increase in maternal circulation over the first trimester of pregnancy Suchismita Sarker1, Katherin Scholz-Romero1, Alejandra Perez2, Sebastian E Illanes1,2,3, Murray D Mitchell1, Gregory E Rice1,2 and Carlos Salomon1,2* Abstract Background: Human placenta releases specific nanovesicles (i.e. exosomes) into the maternal circulation during pregnancy, however, the presence of placenta-derived exosomes in maternal blood during early pregnancy remains to be established. The aim of this study was to characterise gestational age related changes in the concentration of placenta-derived exosomes during the first trimester of pregnancy (i.e. from 6 to 12 weeks) in plasma from women with normal pregnancies. Methods: A time-series experimental design was used to establish pregnancy-associated changes in maternal plasma exosome concentrations during the first trimester. A series of plasma were collected from normal healthy women (10 patients) at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 weeks of gestation (n = 70). We measured the stability of these vesicles by quantifying and observing their protein and miRNA contents after the freeze/thawing processes. Exosomes were isolated by differential and buoyant density centrifugation using a sucrose continuous gradient and characterised by their size distribution and morphology using the nanoparticles tracking analysis (NTA; Nanosight™) and electron microscopy (EM), respectively. The total number of exosomes and placenta-derived exosomes were determined by quantifying the immunoreactive exosomal marker, CD63 and a placenta-specific marker (Placental Alkaline Phosphatase PLAP).

  • Bioinformatics Analysis for the Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes and Related Signaling Pathways in H
    Bioinformatics analysis for the identification of differentially expressed genes and related signaling pathways in H. pylori-CagA transfected gastric cancer cells Dingyu Chen*, Chao Li, Yan Zhao, Jianjiang Zhou, Qinrong Wang and Yuan Xie* Key Laboratory of Endemic and Ethnic Diseases , Ministry of Education, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang, China * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Aim. Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin-associated protein A (CagA) is an important vir- ulence factor known to induce gastric cancer development. However, the cause and the underlying molecular events of CagA induction remain unclear. Here, we applied integrated bioinformatics to identify the key genes involved in the process of CagA- induced gastric epithelial cell inflammation and can ceration to comprehend the potential molecular mechanisms involved. Materials and Methods. AGS cells were transected with pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1::CagA for 24 h. The transfected cells were subjected to transcriptome sequencing to obtain the expressed genes. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) with adjusted P value < 0.05, | logFC |> 2 were screened, and the R package was applied for gene ontology (GO) enrichment and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. The differential gene protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING Cytoscape application, which conducted visual analysis to create the key function networks and identify the key genes. Next, the Submitted 20 August 2020 Kaplan–Meier plotter survival analysis tool was employed to analyze the survival of the Accepted 11 March 2021 key genes derived from the PPI network. Further analysis of the key gene expressions Published 15 April 2021 in gastric cancer and normal tissues were performed based on The Cancer Genome Corresponding author Atlas (TCGA) database and RT-qPCR verification.

  • Genetic Risk Prediction and Neurobiological Understanding of Alcoholism

A panel of all the nominally significant P-value single-nucleotide length polymorphisms (SNPs) in the top candidate genes discovered by CFG (n = 135 genes, 713 SNPs) was used to generate a genetic risk prediction score (GRPS), which showed a trend towards significance (P = 0.053) in separating alcohol dependent individuals from controls in an independent German test cohort. We then validated and prioritized our top findings from this discovery work, and subsequently tested them in three independent cohorts, from two continents. In order to validate and prioritize the key genes that drive behavior without some of the pleiotropic environmental confounds present in humans, we used a stress-reactive animal model of alcoholism developed by our group, the D-box binding protein (DBP) knockout mouse, consistent with the surfeit of stress theory of addiction proposed by Koob and colleagues.
