  • THE ROLE of HOMEODOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR IRX5 in CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY and HYPERTROPHIC RESPONSE by © COPYRIGHT by KYOUNG H
    THE ROLE OF HOMEODOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR IRX5 IN CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY AND HYPERTROPHIC RESPONSE By KYOUNG HAN KIM A THESIS SUBMITTED IN CONFORMITY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO © COPYRIGHT BY KYOUNG HAN KIM (2011) THE ROLE OF HOMEODOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR IRX5 IN CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY AND HYPERTROPHIC RESPONSE KYOUNG HAN KIM DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO 2011 ABSTRACT Irx5 is a homeodomain transcription factor that negatively regulates cardiac fast transient + outward K currents (Ito,f) via the KV4.2 gene and is thereby a major determinant of the transmural repolarization gradient. While Ito,f is invariably reduced in heart disease and changes in Ito,f can modulate both cardiac contractility and hypertrophy, less is known about a functional role of Irx5, and its relationship with Ito,f, in the normal and diseased heart. Here I show that Irx5 plays crucial roles in the regulation of cardiac contractility and proper adaptive hypertrophy. Specifically, Irx5-deficient (Irx5-/-) hearts had reduced cardiac contractility and lacked the normal regional difference in excitation-contraction with decreased action potential duration, Ca2+ transients and myocyte shortening in sub-endocardial, but not sub-epicardial, myocytes. In addition, Irx5-/- mice showed less cardiac hypertrophy, but increased interstitial fibrosis and greater contractility impairment following pressure overload. A defect in hypertrophic responses in Irx5-/- myocardium was confirmed in cultured neonatal mouse ventricular myocytes, exposed to norepinephrine while being restored with Irx5 replacement. Interestingly, studies using mice ii -/- virtually lacking Ito,f (i.e. KV4.2-deficient) showed that reduced contractility in Irx5 mice was completely restored by loss of KV4.2, whereas hypertrophic responses to pressure-overload in hearts remained impaired when both Irx5 and Ito,f were absent.

  • Analysis of Trans Esnps Infers Regulatory Network Architecture
    Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anat Kreimer All rights reserved ABSTRACT Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer eSNPs are genetic variants associated with transcript expression levels. The characteristics of such variants highlight their importance and present a unique opportunity for studying gene regulation. eSNPs affect most genes and their cell type specificity can shed light on different processes that are activated in each cell. They can identify functional variants by connecting SNPs that are implicated in disease to a molecular mechanism. Examining eSNPs that are associated with distal genes can provide insights regarding the inference of regulatory networks but also presents challenges due to the high statistical burden of multiple testing. Such association studies allow: simultaneous investigation of many gene expression phenotypes without assuming any prior knowledge and identification of unknown regulators of gene expression while uncovering directionality. This thesis will focus on such distal eSNPs to map regulatory interactions between different loci and expose the architecture of the regulatory network defined by such interactions. We develop novel computational approaches and apply them to genetics-genomics data in human. We go beyond pairwise interactions to define network motifs, including regulatory modules and bi-fan structures, showing them to be prevalent in real data and exposing distinct attributes of such arrangements. We project eSNP associations onto a protein-protein interaction network to expose topological properties of eSNPs and their targets and highlight different modes of distal regulation.

One of IBMFSs is Shwachman-Diamond-syndrome and about 80-90% of patients have mutations in the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond-Syndrome gene. To unravel the genetic cause of the disease in the remaining 10-20% of patients, we performed WES as well as SNP-genotyping in families with SDS-phenotype and no mutations in SBDS. The results showed a region of homozygosity in chromosome 5p-arm DNAJC21 is in this region. Western blotting revealed reduced/null protein in patient. DNAJC21-homolog in yeast has been shown facilitating the release of the Arx1/Alb1 heterodimer from pre-60S.To investigate the cellular functions of DNAJC21 we knocked-down it in HEK293T-cells. We observed a high-level of ROS, which led to reduced cell proliferation. Our data indicate that mutations in DNAJC21 contribute to SDS. We hypothesize that DNAJC21 related ribosomal defects lead to increased levels of ROS therefore altering development and maturation of hematopoietic cells. ii Acknowledgments I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who has helped me throughout my degree.

Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease: Genetic And Epigenetic Approaches Abstract The work described in this dissertation aimed to better understand the genetic and epigenetic factors influencing chronic kidney disease (CKD) development. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with chronic kidney disease. However, these studies have not effectively identified target genes for the CKD variants. Most of the identified variants are localized to non-coding genomic regions, and how they associate with CKD development is not well-understood. As GWAS studies only explain a small fraction of heritability, we hypothesized that epigenetic changes could explain part of this missing heritability. To identify potential gene targets of the genetic variants, we performed expression quantitative loci (eQTL) analysis, using genotyping arrays and RNA sequencing from human kidney samples. To identify the target genes of CKD-associated SNPs, we integrated the GWAS-identified SNPs with the eQTL results using a Bayesian colocalization method, coloc. This resulted in a short list of target genes, including PGAP3 and CASP9, two genes that have been shown to present with kidney phenotypes in knockout mice.

We first introduce our approach in general terms. geneous population, the clustering of cells in the different samples Let O be a p1 by n1 matrix representing data on p1 features for n1 should be coupled. We formulate this “coupled clustering” problem units in the first sample; then a “soft” clustering of the units in as an optimization problem and propose the method of coupled this sample can be obtained from a nonnegative factorization nonnegative matrix factorizations (coupled NMF) for its solution. O = W1H1 as follows: The ith column of W1 gives the mean The method is illustrated by the integrative analysis of single-cell vector for the ith cluster of units, while the jth column of H1 gives RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and single-cell ATAC-sequencing (ATAC- the assignment weights of the jth unit to the different clusters.
