Thus, macrophage differentiation and functions are dependent on the integration of cues provided by their ontogeny, surrounding tissue, microbiota, metabolism and pathogens. In line with their functional plasticity, macrophages are able to both initiate and resolve inflammation. Besides, macrophages have essential roles in development, homeostasis and inflammation and, consequently, deregulation of macrophage functions leads to the onset and maintenance of numerous chronic inflammatory pathologies. Therefore, determination of the molecular basis of the macrophage functional heterogeneity should pave the way for the development of tissue-specific anti-inflammatory therapies. Macrophage activation relies on the recognition of pathogen- and danger-associated molecular patterns from exogenous and endogenous factors by a variety of receptors, like TLRs. Depending on the nature of previous cues received by macrophages, the response to activating stimuli may be pro- or anti- inflammatory. The former is characteristic of macrophages exposed to GM-CSF or IFNγ and results in the production of TNF-α, IL-12, IL-6 and IL-23. The latter is specific for macrophages exposed to M-CSF, IL-4 or glucocorticoids and leads to the secretion of IL-10. Unlike the macrophage pro-inflammatory response, which has been extensively studied, scarce knowledge is currently available on the activation of anti-inflammatory macrophages, especially in humans. To address this issue, we have thoroughly analyzed the transcriptome of TLR-activated, human M-CSF-polarized anti-inflammatory macrophages (M-MØ). Microarray analysis of M-MØ after a short exposure to LPS revealed the existence of a gene set that includes chemokines (e.g., CCL19), signaling molecules (e.g., SOCS2)

Amos4 Abstract Background: Tobacco-induced lung cancer is characterized by a deregulated inflammatory microenviron- ment. Variants in multiple genes in inflammation pathways may contribute to risk of lung cancer. Methods: We therefore conducted a three-stage comprehensive pathway analysis (discovery, replication, and meta-analysis) of inflammation gene variants in ever-smoking lung cancer cases and controls. A discovery set (1,096 cases and 727 controls) and an independent and nonoverlapping internal replication set (1,154 cases and 1,137 controls) were derived from an ongoing case–control study. For discovery, we used an iSelect BeadChip to interrogate a comprehensive panel of 11,737 inflammation pathway single-nucleotide poly- morphisms (SNP) and selected nominally significant (P < 0.05) SNPs for internal replication. Results: There were six SNPs that achieved statistical significance (P < 0.05) in the internal replication data set with concordant risk estimates for former smokers and five concordant and replicated SNPs in current smokers. Replicated hits were further tested in a subsequent meta-analysis using external data derived from two published genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and a case–control study. Two of these variants (a BCL2L14 SNP in former smokers and an SNP in IL2RB in current smokers) were further validated.

    DECIPHERING TRANSCRIPTIONAL PATTERNS OF GENE REGULATION: A COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH by Princy Parsana A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland July, 2020 © 2020 Princy Parsana All rights reserved Abstract With rapid advancements in sequencing technology, we now have the ability to sequence the entire human genome, and to quantify expression of tens of thousands of genes from hundreds of individuals. This provides an extraordinary opportunity to learn phenotype relevant genomic patterns that can improve our understanding of molecular and cellular processes underlying a trait. The high dimensional nature of genomic data presents a range of computational and statistical challenges. This dissertation presents a compilation of projects that were driven by the motivation to efficiently capture gene regulatory patterns in the human transcriptome, while addressing statistical and computational challenges that accompany this data. We attempt to address two major difficulties in this domain: a) artifacts and noise in transcriptomic data, andb) limited statistical power. First, we present our work on investigating the effect of artifactual variation in gene expression data and its impact on trans-eQTL discovery. Here we performed an in-depth analysis of diverse pre-recorded covariates and latent confounders to understand their contribution to heterogeneity in gene expression measurements. Next, we discovered 673 trans-eQTLs across 16 human tissues using v6 data from the Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. Finally, we characterized two trait-associated trans-eQTLs; one in Skeletal Muscle and another in Thyroid. Second, we present a principal component based residualization method to correct gene expression measurements prior to reconstruction of co-expression networks.

  • XPB Induces C1D Expression to Counteract UV-Induced Apoptosis
    Published OnlineFirst June 8, 2010; DOI: 10.1158/1541-7786.MCR-09-0467 Molecular DNA Damage and Cellular Stress Responses Cancer Research XPB Induces C1D Expression to Counteract UV-Induced Apoptosis Guang Li1, Juhong Liu2, Mones Abu-Asab1, Shibuya Masabumi3, and Yoshiro Maru4 Abstract Although C1D has been shown to be involved in DNA double-strand break repair, how C1D expression was induced and the mechanism(s) by which C1D facilitates DNA repair in mammalian cells remain poorly understood. We and others have previously shown that expression of xeroderma pigmentosum B (XPB) pro- tein efficiently compensated the UV irradiation–sensitive phenotype of 27-1 cells, which lack functional XPB. To further explore XPB-regulated genes that could be involved in UV-induced DNA repair, differential dis- play analysis of mRNA levels from CHO-9, 27-1, and 27-1 complemented with wild-type XPB was done and C1D gene was identified as one of the major genes whose expression was significantly upregulated by restoring XPB function. We found that XPB is essential to induce C1D transcription after UV irradiation. The increase in C1D expression effectively compensates for the UV-induced proteolysis of C1D and thus maintains cellular C1D level to cope with DNA damage inflicted by UV irradiation. We further showed that although insufficient to rescue 27-1 cells from UV-induced apoptosis by itself, C1D facilitates XPB DNA repair through direct interaction with XPB. Our findings provided direct evidence that C1D is associated with DNA repair complex and may promote repair of UV-induced DNA damage. Mol Cancer Res; 8(6); 885–95.

  • Synergistic Genetic Interactions Between Pkhd1 and Pkd1 Result in an ARPKD-Like Phenotype in Murine Models
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Synergistic Genetic Interactions between Pkhd1 and Pkd1 Result in an ARPKD-Like Phenotype in Murine Models Rory J. Olson,1 Katharina Hopp ,2 Harrison Wells,3 Jessica M. Smith,3 Jessica Furtado,1,4 Megan M. Constans,3 Diana L. Escobar,3 Aron M. Geurts,5 Vicente E. Torres,3 and Peter C. Harris 1,3 Due to the number of contributing authors, the affiliations are listed at the end of this article. ABSTRACT Background Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are genetically distinct, with ADPKD usually caused by the genes PKD1 or PKD2 (encoding polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, respectively) and ARPKD caused by PKHD1 (encoding fibrocys- tin/polyductin [FPC]). Primary cilia have been considered central to PKD pathogenesis due to protein localization and common cystic phenotypes in syndromic ciliopathies, but their relevance is questioned in the simple PKDs. ARPKD’s mild phenotype in murine models versus in humans has hampered investi- gating its pathogenesis. Methods To study the interaction between Pkhd1 and Pkd1, including dosage effects on the phenotype, we generated digenic mouse and rat models and characterized and compared digenic, monogenic, and wild-type phenotypes. Results The genetic interaction was synergistic in both species, with digenic animals exhibiting pheno- types of rapidly progressive PKD and early lethality resembling classic ARPKD. Genetic interaction be- tween Pkhd1 and Pkd1 depended on dosage in the digenic murine models, with no significant enhancement of the monogenic phenotype until a threshold of reduced expression at the second locus was breached.

UNIVERSITY OF KUOPIO, the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Curriculum of Biochemistry USKI Juuso Oskari Thesis for Master of Science degree Supervisors Prof. Carsten Carlberg, Ph.D. Merja Heinäniemi, Ph.D. June 2008 Keywords: nuclear receptors; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor; PPAR response element; apolipoprotein; lipid metabolism; high density lipoprotein; low density lipoprotein. Lipids are any fat-soluble, naturally-occurring molecules and one of their main biological functions is energy storage. Lipoproteins carry hydrophobic lipids in the water and salt-based blood environment for processing and energy supply in liver and other organs. In this study, the genomic area around the apolipoprotein genes was scanned in silico for PPAR response elements (PPREs) using the in vitro data-based computer program. Several new putative REs were found in surroundings of multiple lipoprotein genes. The responsiveness of those apolipoprotein genes to the PPAR ligands GW501516, rosiglitazone and GW7647 in the HepG2, HEK293 and THP-1 cell lines were tested with real-time PCR. The APOA1, APOA2, APOB, APOD, APOE, APOF, APOL1, APOL3, APOL5 and APOL6 genes were found to be regulated by PPARs in direct or secondary manners. Those results provide new insights in the understanding of lipid metabolism and so many lifestyle diseases like atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

  • The Genetic Basis of Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome in Patients from a Consanguineous Background: a Case Series
    Youssefian et al. BMC Medical Genetics (2018) 19:87 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12881-018-0581-1 CASE REPORT Open Access The genetic basis of hyaline fibromatosis syndrome in patients from a consanguineous background: a case series Leila Youssefian1,4†, Hassan Vahidnezhad1,2†, Andrew Touati1,3†, Vahid Ziaee5†, Amir Hossein Saeidian1, Sara Pajouhanfar1, Sirous Zeinali2,6 and Jouni Uitto1* Abstract Background: Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS) is a rare heritable multi-systemic disorder with significant dermatologic manifestations. It is caused by mutations in ANTXR2, which encodes a transmembrane receptor involved in collagen VI regulation in the extracellular matrix. Over 40 mutations in the ANTXR2 gene have been associated with cases of HFS. Variable severity of the disorder in different patients has been proposed to be related to the specific mutations in these patients and their location within the gene. Case presentation: In this report, we describe four cases of HFS from consanguineous backgrounds. Genetic analysis identified a novel homozygous frameshift deletion c.969del (p.Ile323Metfs*14) in one case, the previously reported mutation c.134 T > C (p.Leu45Pro) in another case, and the recurrent homozygous frameshift mutation c.1073dup (p.Ala359Cysfs*13) in two cases. The epidemiology of this latter mutation is of particular interest, as it is a candidate for inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Haplotype analysis was performed to determine the origin of this mutation in this consanguineous cohort, which suggested that it may develop sporadically in different populations. Conclusions: This information provides insights on genotype-phenotype correlations, identifies a previously unreported mutation in ANTXR2, and improves the understanding of a recurrent mutation in HFS.
