Mouse Herpud1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Herpud1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Herpud1 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Herpud1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_022331 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000031770 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 8. 8 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 8 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000161576). Exon 2~4 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Herpud1 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-36N8 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired glucose tolerance and decreased cerebral infarction size. Exon 2 starts from about 12.62% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 2~4 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 1 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 2617 bp, and the size of intron 4 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 883 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1993 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Significant high GC-content regions are found. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector.

Herp is an endoplasmic reticulum- (ER-) resident membrane protein that plays a role in ER-associated degradation. We studied the expression of Herp and its effect on neurodegeneration in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease (PD), in which both the oxidative stress and the ER stress are evoked. Eight hours after administering a PD-related neurotoxin, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6- tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), to mice, the expression of Herp increased at both the mRNA and the protein levels. Experiments using +/+ −/− Herpud1 and Herpud1 mice revealed that the status of acute degeneration of nigrostriatal neurons and reactive astrogliosis was comparable between two genotypes after MPTP injection.

  • Roles of Xbp1s in Transcriptional Regulation of Target Genes
    biomedicines Review Roles of XBP1s in Transcriptional Regulation of Target Genes Sung-Min Park , Tae-Il Kang and Jae-Seon So * Department of Medical Biotechnology, Dongguk University, Gyeongju 38066, Gyeongbuk, Korea; [email protected] (S.-M.P.); [email protected] (T.-I.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The spliced form of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1s) is an active transcription factor that plays a vital role in the unfolded protein response (UPR). Under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, unspliced Xbp1 mRNA is cleaved by the activated stress sensor IRE1α and converted to the mature form encoding spliced XBP1 (XBP1s). Translated XBP1s migrates to the nucleus and regulates the transcriptional programs of UPR target genes encoding ER molecular chaperones, folding enzymes, and ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) components to decrease ER stress. Moreover, studies have shown that XBP1s regulates the transcription of diverse genes that are involved in lipid and glucose metabolism and immune responses. Therefore, XBP1s has been considered an important therapeutic target in studying various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. XBP1s is involved in several unique mechanisms to regulate the transcription of different target genes by interacting with other proteins to modulate their activity. Although recent studies discovered numerous target genes of XBP1s via genome-wide analyses, how XBP1s regulates their transcription remains unclear. This review discusses the roles of XBP1s in target genes transcriptional regulation. More in-depth knowledge of XBP1s target genes and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in the future will help develop new therapeutic targets for each disease.

  • Parent-Of-Origin Effects on Quantitative Phenotypes in a Large Hutterite Pedigree
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0267-4 OPEN Parent-of-origin effects on quantitative phenotypes in a large Hutterite pedigree Sahar V. Mozaffari 1,2, Jeanne M. DeCara3, Sanjiv J. Shah4, Carlo Sidore5, Edoardo Fiorillo5, Francesco Cucca5,6, Roberto M. Lang3, Dan L. Nicolae1,2,3,7 & Carole Ober1,2 1234567890():,; The impact of the parental origin of associated alleles in GWAS has been largely ignored. Yet sequence variants could affect traits differently depending on whether they are inherited from the mother or the father, as in imprinted regions, where identical inherited DNA sequences can have different effects based on the parental origin. To explore parent-of-origin effects (POEs), we studied 21 quantitative phenotypes in a large Hutterite pedigree to identify variants with single parent (maternal-only or paternal-only) effects, and then variants with opposite parental effects. Here we show that POEs, which can be opposite in direction, are relatively common in humans, have potentially important clinical effects, and will be missed in traditional GWAS. We identified POEs with 11 phenotypes, most of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

  • Derlin-3 Is Required for Changes in ERAD Complex Formation Under ER Stress
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Article Derlin-3 Is Required for Changes in ERAD Complex Formation under ER Stress Yuka Eura 1 , Toshiyuki Miyata 1,2 and Koichi Kokame 1,* 1 Department of Molecular Pathogenesis, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka 564-8565, Japan; [email protected] (Y.E.); [email protected] (T.M.) 2 Department of Cerebrovascular Medicine, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka 564-8565, Japan * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 July 2020; Accepted: 24 August 2020; Published: 26 August 2020 Abstract: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) is a quality control system that induces the degradation of ER terminally misfolded proteins. The ERAD system consists of complexes of multiple ER membrane-associated and luminal proteins that function cooperatively. We aimed to reveal the role of Derlin-3 in the ERAD system using the liver, pancreas, and kidney obtained from different mouse genotypes. We performed coimmunoprecipitation and sucrose density gradient centrifugation to unravel the dynamic nature of ERAD complexes. We observed that Derlin-3 is exclusively expressed in the pancreas, and its deficiency leads to the destabilization of Herp and accumulation of ERAD substrates. Under normal conditions, Complex-1a predominantly contains Herp, Derlin-2, HRD1, and SEL1L, and under ER stress, Complex-1b contains Herp, Derlin-3 (instead of Derlin-2), HRD1, and SEL1L. Complex-2 is upregulated under ER stress and contains Derlin-1, Derlin-2, p97, and VIMP. Derlin-3 deficiency suppresses the transition of Derlin-2 from Complex-1a to Complex-2 under ER stress. In the pancreas, Derlin-3 deficiency blocks Derlin-2 transition.

  • Inhibition of Mtorc1 by ER Stress Impairs Neonatal B-Cell Expansion
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Inhibition of mTORC1 by ER stress impairs neonatal b-cell expansion and predisposes to diabetes in the Akita mouse Yael Riahi1, Tal Israeli1, Roni Yeroslaviz1, Shoshana Chimenez1, Dana Avrahami1,2, Miri Stolovich-Rain2, Ido Alter1, Marina Sebag1, Nava Polin1, Ernesto Bernal-Mizrachi3, Yuval Dor2, Erol Cerasi1, Gil Leibowitz1* 1The Endocrine Service, The Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel; 2Department of Developmental Biology and Cancer Research, The Institute for Medical Research Israel-Canada, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel; 3Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, Miami, United States Abstract Unresolved ER stress followed by cell death is recognized as the main cause of a multitude of pathologies including neonatal diabetes. A systematic analysis of the mechanisms of b- cell loss and dysfunction in Akita mice, in which a mutation in the proinsulin gene causes a severe form of permanent neonatal diabetes, showed no increase in b-cell apoptosis throughout life. Surprisingly, we found that the main mechanism leading to b-cell dysfunction is marked impairment of b-cell growth during the early postnatal life due to transient inhibition of mTORC1, which governs postnatal b-cell growth and differentiation. Importantly, restoration of mTORC1 activity in neonate b-cells was sufficient to rescue postnatal b-cell growth, and to improve diabetes. We propose a scenario for the development of permanent neonatal diabetes, possibly also common *For correspondence: forms of diabetes, where early-life events inducing ER stress affect b-cell mass expansion due to [email protected] mTOR inhibition.

  • Transcriptomic Response of Breast Cancer Cells to Anacardic Acid David J
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transcriptomic response of breast cancer cells to anacardic acid David J. Schultz1, Abirami Krishna2, Stephany L. Vittitow2, Negin Alizadeh-Rad2, Penn Muluhngwi2, Eric C. Rouchka 3 & Carolyn M. Klinge 2 Received: 5 December 2017 Anacardic acid (AnAc), a potential dietary agent for preventing and treating breast cancer, inhibited Accepted: 10 May 2018 the proliferation of estrogen receptor α (ERα) positive MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 triple negative Published: xx xx xxxx breast cancer cells. To characterize potential regulators of AnAc action, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated for 6 h with purifed AnAc 24:1n5 congener followed by next generation transcriptomic sequencing (RNA-seq) and network analysis. We reported that AnAc-diferentially regulated miRNA transcriptomes in each cell line and now identify AnAc-regulated changes in mRNA and lncRNA transcript expression. In MCF-7 cells, 80 AnAc-responsive genes were identifed, including lncRNA MIR22HG. More AnAc-responsive genes (886) were identifed in MDA-MB-231 cells. Only six genes were commonly altered by AnAc in both cell lines: SCD, INSIG1, and TGM2 were decreased and PDK4, GPR176, and ZBT20 were increased. Modeling of AnAc-induced gene changes suggests that AnAc inhibits monounsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in both cell lines and increases endoplasmic reticulum stress in MDA-MB-231 cells. Since modeling of downregulated genes implicated NFκB in MCF-7, we confrmed that AnAc inhibited TNFα-induced NFκB reporter activity in MCF-7 cells. These data identify new targets and pathways that may account for AnAc’s anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activity.
