Post-Mortem Whole-Exome Analysis in a Large Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Cohort with a Focus on Cardiovascular and Metabolic Genetic Diseases
European Journal of Human Genetics (2017) 25, 404–409 & 2017 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature. All rights reserved 1018-4813/17 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Post-mortem whole-exome analysis in a large sudden infant death syndrome cohort with a focus on cardiovascular and metabolic genetic diseases Jacqueline Neubauer*,1, Maria Rita Lecca2, Giancarlo Russo2, Christine Bartsch3, Argelia Medeiros-Domingo4, Wolfgang Berger5,6,7 and Cordula Haas1 Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is described as the sudden and unexplained death of an apparently healthy infant younger than one year of age. Genetic studies indicate that up to 35% of SIDS cases might be explained by familial or genetic diseases such as cardiomyopathies, ion channelopathies or metabolic disorders that remained undetected during conventional forensic autopsy procedures. Post-mortem genetic testing by using massive parallel sequencing (MPS) approaches represents an efficient and rapid tool to further investigate unexplained death cases and might help to elucidate pathogenic genetic variants and mechanisms in cases without a conclusive cause of death. In this study, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) in 161 European SIDS infants with focus on 192 genes associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Potentially causative variants were detected in 20% of the SIDS cases. The majority of infants had variants with likely functional effects in genes associated with channelopathies (9%), followed by cardiomyopathies (7%) and metabolic diseases (1%). Although lethal arrhythmia represents the most plausible and likely cause of death, the majority of SIDS cases still remains elusive and might be explained by a multifactorial etiology, triggered by a combination of different genetic and environmental risk factors. -
The Mineralocorticoid Receptor Leads to Increased Expression of EGFR
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The mineralocorticoid receptor leads to increased expression of EGFR and T‑type calcium channels that support HL‑1 cell hypertrophy Katharina Stroedecke1,2, Sandra Meinel1,2, Fritz Markwardt1, Udo Kloeckner1, Nicole Straetz1, Katja Quarch1, Barbara Schreier1, Michael Kopf1, Michael Gekle1 & Claudia Grossmann1* The EGF receptor (EGFR) has been extensively studied in tumor biology and recently a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology was suggested. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is an important efector of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone‑system and elicits pathophysiological efects in the cardiovascular system; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Our aim was to investigate the importance of EGFR for MR‑mediated cardiovascular pathophysiology because MR is known to induce EGFR expression. We identifed a SNP within the EGFR promoter that modulates MR‑induced EGFR expression. In RNA‑sequencing and qPCR experiments in heart tissue of EGFR KO and WT mice, changes in EGFR abundance led to diferential expression of cardiac ion channels, especially of the T‑type calcium channel CACNA1H. Accordingly, CACNA1H expression was increased in WT mice after in vivo MR activation by aldosterone but not in respective EGFR KO mice. Aldosterone‑ and EGF‑responsiveness of CACNA1H expression was confrmed in HL‑1 cells by Western blot and by measuring peak current density of T‑type calcium channels. Aldosterone‑induced CACNA1H protein expression could be abrogated by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478. Furthermore, inhibition of T‑type calcium channels with mibefradil or ML218 reduced diameter, volume and BNP levels in HL‑1 cells. In conclusion the MR regulates EGFR and CACNA1H expression, which has an efect on HL‑1 cell diameter, and the extent of this regulation seems to depend on the SNP‑216 (G/T) genotype. -

Katanaev1,2,* ABSTRACT The evolutionarily conserved Wg pathway is important for Drosophila neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) represent a powerful numerous developmental programs and cellular processes (Logan model system with which to study glutamatergic synapse formation and Nusse, 2004). In the nervous system of Drosophila,Wg and remodeling. Several proteins have been implicated in these signaling is involved in the formation of neuromuscular junctions processes, including components of canonical Wingless (Drosophila (NMJs) (Packard et al., 2002; Miech et al., 2008). Being a Wnt1) signaling and the giant isoforms of the membrane-cytoskeleton glutamatergic synapse, the Drosophila NMJ provides a useful linker Ankyrin 2, but possible interconnections and cooperation experimental model with which to study mammalian central between these proteins were unknown. Here, we demonstrate that nervous system synapses, their formation and remodeling (Collins the heterotrimeric G protein Go functions as a transducer of Wingless- and DiAntonio, 2007). The Drosophila NMJ is a beads-on-a-string- Frizzled 2 signaling in the synapse. We identify Ankyrin 2 as a target like structure that is formed at the axon terminus and is composed of – – of Go signaling required for NMJ formation. Moreover, the Go-ankyrin distinct circular structures the synaptic boutons which contain interaction is conserved in the mammalian neurite outgrowth pathway. -

China Received September 12, 2019; Accepted October 22, 2020 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2020.12320 Abstract. Glioma is the most common type of brain tumor APC expression with a good overall survival rate. UALCAN and is associated with a high mortality rate. Despite recent analysis using TCGA data of glioblastoma multiforme and the advances in treatment options, the overall prognosis in patients GSE25632 and GSE103229 microarray datasets showed that with glioma remains poor. Studies have suggested that circular hsa‑miR‑142‑3p/hsa‑miR‑590‑5p was upregulated and APC (circ)RNAs serve important roles in the development and was downregulated. Thus, hsa‑miR‑142‑3p/hsa‑miR‑590‑5p‑ progression of glioma and may have potential as therapeutic APC‑related circ/ceRNA axes may be important in glioma, targets. However, the expression profiles of circRNAs and their and hsa_circ_0005114 interacted with both of these miRNAs. functions in glioma have rarely been studied. The present study Functional analysis showed that hsa_circ_0005114 was aimed to screen differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) involved in insulin secretion, while APC was associated with between glioma and normal brain tissues using sequencing the Wnt signaling pathway. In conclusion, hsa_circ_0005114‑ data collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database miR‑142‑3p/miR‑590‑5p‑APC ceRNA axes may be potential (GSE86202 and GSE92322 datasets) and explain their mecha‑ targets for the treatment of glioma. -

The2families,fromthesameItalian region, harbored the same FLNC splice- site mutation (FLNC c.7251D1G>A). A third U.S. family was then identified with a novel FLNC splice-site mutation (FLNC c.5669-1delG) that leads to haploinsufficiency as shown by the FLNC Western blot analysis of the heart muscle.

Non-Coding Rnas in the Cardiac Action Potential and Their Impact on Arrhythmogenic Cardiac Diseases
Review Non-Coding RNAs in the Cardiac Action Potential and Their Impact on Arrhythmogenic Cardiac Diseases Estefania Lozano-Velasco 1,2 , Amelia Aranega 1,2 and Diego Franco 1,2,* 1 Cardiovascular Development Group, Department of Experimental Biology, University of Jaén, 23071 Jaén, Spain; [email protected] (E.L.-V.); [email protected] (A.A.) 2 Fundación Medina, 18016 Granada, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Cardiac arrhythmias are prevalent among humans across all age ranges, affecting millions of people worldwide. While cardiac arrhythmias vary widely in their clinical presentation, they possess shared complex electrophysiologic properties at cellular level that have not been fully studied. Over the last decade, our current understanding of the functional roles of non-coding RNAs have progressively increased. microRNAs represent the most studied type of small ncRNAs and it has been demonstrated that miRNAs play essential roles in multiple biological contexts, including normal development and diseases. In this review, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the functional contribution of non-coding RNAs, primarily microRNAs, to the normal configuration of the cardiac action potential, as well as their association to distinct types of arrhythmogenic cardiac diseases.

Atrial Fibrillation (ATRIA) Study
European Journal of Human Genetics (2014) 22, 297–306 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/14 www.nature.com/ejhg REVIEW Atrial fibrillation: the role of common and rare genetic variants Morten S Olesen*,1,2,4, Morten W Nielsen1,2,4, Stig Haunsø1,2,3 and Jesper H Svendsen1,2,3 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting 1–2% of the general population. A number of studies have demonstrated that AF, and in particular lone AF, has a substantial genetic component. Monogenic mutations in lone and familial AF, although rare, have been recognized for many years. Presently, mutations in 25 genes have been associated with AF. However, the complexity of monogenic AF is illustrated by the recent finding that both gain- and loss-of-function mutations in the same gene can cause AF. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have indicated that common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have a role in the development of AF. Following the first GWAS discovering the association between PITX2 and AF, several new GWAS reports have identified SNPs associated with susceptibility of AF. To date, nine SNPs have been associated with AF. The exact biological pathways involving these SNPs and the development of AF are now starting to be elucidated. Since the first GWAS, the number of papers concerning the genetic basis of AF has increased drastically and the majority of these papers are for the first time included in a review. In this review, we discuss the genetic basis of AF and the role of both common and rare genetic variants in the susceptibility of developing AF.
