Real-time PCR analysis for CDK4 expression was performed in 108 tumors using Assays-on-Demand (AOD, Life technologies Corp, Carlsbad, CA). 88ng of cDNA (RNA equivalents) template was used in each qPCR reaction and assays were performed in triplicate. Quantification of CDK4 expression was measured relative to the geometric mean of five endogenous control genes (HMBS, POLRA, TBP, PGK, UCBH). Network-based analysis. Genes that were differently expressed between CDK6-positive and CDK6- negative samples with a p-value < 0.05 and fold-change >0.5 were identified using limma package from bioconductor (1). Network-based analysis was performed using the functional interaction (FI) network (2). Briefly, this consists of 10956 proteins and more than 200,000 curated functional interactions. We calculated pairwise shortest paths among genes of interest in the FI network, hierarchically clustered them based on the average linkage method, and then selected a cluster containing more than 80% altered genes. To calculate a p-value for average shortest path we performed 1000-fold permutation test by randomly selecting the same number of genes from the biggest connected network component. A minimum spanning tree algorithm was used to find linkers and connected all genes of interest in one subnetwork (3). For network clustering we used Markov Cluster Algorithm (MCL) (4) with inflation 1.8. Only clusters with 10 or more genes were taken into account. We used the hypergeometric test to evaluate whether up (or down)-regulated genes were represented more than expected by chance within each cluster. All network diagrams were drawn with Cytoscape (5). The functional enrichment analysis for pathways was based on binominal test. False discovery rate was calculated based on 1000 permutations on all genes in the FI network. siRNA sequences: CDK6, si1: Sense - GUUUGUAACAGAUAUCGAUtt, Antisense - AUCGAUAUCUGUUACAAACtt CDK6, si2: Sense - GCAGAAAUGUUUCGUAGAAtt, Antisense - UUCUACGAAACAUUUCUGCaa CDK4, si1: Sense – UGCUGACUUUUAACCCACAtt, Antisense - UGUGGGUUAAAAGUCAGCAtt CDK4, si2: Sense – CACCCGUGGUUGUUACACUtt, Antisense - AGUGUAACAACCACGGGUGta Construction of Tissue Microarray (TMA): TMAs, containing 38 cases of Barrett’s esophagus (BE), 81 cases of columnar cell metaplasia (CCM), 86 cases of squamous epithelium (SE), 18 cases of low grade dysplasia (LGD), 15 cases of high grade dysplasia (HGD), and 116 cases of EAC, were constructed from the representative areas of formalin-fixed specimens collected between 1997-2005 in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center/Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester, New York. Five-micron sections were cut from tissue microarrays and were stained with H&E to confirm the presence of the expected tissue histology within each tissue core. Additional sections were cut for IHC analysis. Patients for Tissue Microarrays: All the 116 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma used for the tissue microarray construction were treated with esophagectomy in Strong Memorial Hospital/University of Rochester between 1997-2005. These patients included 104 males (89.6%) and 12 females (10.4%). The patient age ranged from 34 to 85 years with a mean of 65 years. Immunohistochemistry. Tissue sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated and incubated with anti-CDK6 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA). Sections were then incubated with the secondary antibody (Flex mouse-link, Dako North America, Inc., Carpinteria, CA) followed by Flex-HRP then Flex DAB chromogen and counterstained with hematoxylin. The intensity of the CDK6 immunostaining was scored as follows: score 0, no stain, score 1, weak stain in cytoplasm and/or nucleus (>30% of cells), score 2, moderate stain in cytoplasm and/or nucleus (>30% of cells) and score 3, strong stain in cytoplasm and/or nucleus (>30% of cells). Anchorage-independent growth assay. For anchorage-independence, two layer agarose-containg media were plated in 24-well plates. The first layer (300μl) was McCoy growth medium (Invitrogen) containing 0.8% sea plaque agarose (a gift from Dr. Andrew Bateman, McGill University, Montreal, Canada) and 5% FBS.The second layer contained 3000 cells in McCoy medium containing 0.4% agarose and 7.5% FBS. Colonies were left to grow in 5% CO2 at 37ºC in a humidified incubator for about three weeks. Colonies were counted using an inverted microscope at 4X amplification.

While the association of amplification and overexpression of CDK6 with poor outcome in patients seems to be readily explained by its important role in regulating the cell cycle, a network-based analysis of genes that are differentially expressed between CDK6 amplified and non-amplified tumors raises another intriguing possibility. It is well known that solid human tumors are often infiltrated by lymphocytes (tumor- infiltrating lymphocytes [TILs]) and T cells have been shown to be mediators of anti-tumor immunity (6). The presence of TILs in esophageal carcinoma is often correlated with improved patient survival (7). In our analysis we found one cluster of genes associated with T-cell signaling and another cluster associated with chemokines and chemokine receptors, several of which are involved in attraction of T and B lymphocytes. Thus it is possible that tumors with increased CDK6 copy number produce less T-cell chemo-attractants, have fewer TIL’s and subsequently, these patients have worse survival. The nature of this observation and correlation with CDK6 amplification is not clear and needs to be experimentally verified. Although there is some evidence that chemokine signaling can influence CDK6 activity via pRB (8), we are not aware of any data suggesting that CDK6 activity can influence chemokine expression. We identified 213 genes (including CDK6) that were differently expressed between CDK6-amplified and CDK6-non-amplified tumor samples. Of these, 111 (52.11%) were in the FI network and hierarchical clustering reduced this to a set of 88 of the most interconnected candidates.

To address this issue, we sequenced the OR repertoire in 332 individuals and examined the relationship between genetic variation and 276 olfactory phenotypes, including the perceived intensity and pleasantness of 68 odorants at two concentrations, detection thresholds of three odorants, and general olfactory acuity.

  • G Protein-Coupled Receptors
    G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTORS Overview:- The completion of the Human Genome Project allowed the identification of a large family of proteins with a common motif of seven groups of 20-24 hydrophobic amino acids arranged as α-helices. Approximately 800 of these seven transmembrane (7TM) receptors have been identified of which over 300 are non-olfactory receptors (see Frederikson et al., 2003; Lagerstrom and Schioth, 2008). Subdivision on the basis of sequence homology allows the definition of rhodopsin, secretin, adhesion, glutamate and Frizzled receptor families. NC-IUPHAR recognizes Classes A, B, and C, which equate to the rhodopsin, secretin, and glutamate receptor families. The nomenclature of 7TM receptors is commonly used interchangeably with G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), although the former nomenclature recognises signalling of 7TM receptors through pathways not involving G proteins. For example, adiponectin and membrane progestin receptors have some sequence homology to 7TM receptors but signal independently of G-proteins and appear to reside in membranes in an inverted fashion compared to conventional GPCR. Additionally, the NPR-C natriuretic peptide receptor has a single transmembrane domain structure, but appears to couple to G proteins to generate cellular responses. The 300+ non-olfactory GPCR are the targets for the majority of drugs in clinical usage (Overington et al., 2006), although only a minority of these receptors are exploited therapeutically. Signalling through GPCR is enacted by the activation of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins), made up of α, β and γ subunits, where the α and βγ subunits are responsible for signalling. The α subunit (tabulated below) allows definition of one series of signalling cascades and allows grouping of GPCRs to suggest common cellular, tissue and behavioural responses.

Uversky2,4 Received: 5 August 2019 / Revised: 5 August 2019 / Accepted: 12 August 2019 / Published online: 19 August 2019 © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 Abstract GPCR–G protein signaling system recognizes a multitude of extracellular ligands and triggers a variety of intracellular signal- ing cascades in response. In humans, this system includes more than 800 various GPCRs and a large set of heterotrimeric G proteins. Complexity of this system goes far beyond a multitude of pair-wise ligand–GPCR and GPCR–G protein interactions. In fact, one GPCR can recognize more than one extracellular signal and interact with more than one G protein. Furthermore, one ligand can activate more than one GPCR, and multiple GPCRs can couple to the same G protein. This defnes an intricate multifunctionality of this important signaling system. Here, we show that the multifunctionality of GPCR–G protein system represents an illustrative example of the protein structure–function continuum, where structures of the involved proteins represent a complex mosaic of diferently folded regions (foldons, non-foldons, unfoldons, semi-foldons, and inducible foldons). The functionality of resulting highly dynamic conformational ensembles is fne-tuned by various post-translational modifcations and alternative splicing, and such ensembles can undergo dramatic changes at interaction with their specifc partners.

  • Primepcr™Assay Validation Report
    PrimePCR™Assay Validation Report Gene Information Gene Name olfactory receptor, family 6, subfamily C, member 2 Gene Symbol OR6C2 Organism Human Gene Summary Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.

Examining gene expression in post mortem hippocampal tissue from 20 alcoholics and 19 controls allowed us to detect differentially expressed genes that may play a role in the risk for alcoholism or whose expression is modified by chronic consumption of alcohol. We identified 639 named genes whose expression significantly differed between alcoholics and controls at a False Discovery Rate (FDR) ≤ 0.20; 52% of these genes differed by at least 1.2-fold.
