A 13-year-old girl presented with headache and vomiting and MRI detected two cystic lesions bilaterally in the frontal areas with surrounding edema. The left larger tumor was removed by left frontal craniotomy. The tumor was diagnosed as a high-grade glioneuronal tumor, unclassifed. Methylation profling classifed it as a difuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor (DLGNT) with low confdence. This tumor showed genotypes frequently found in DLGNT such as 1p/19q codeletion without IDH mutation and, however, did not have the typical DLGNT clinical and histological features. RNA sequencing identifed an ARHGEF2 (encoding Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2)–NTRK1 fusion gene. The presence of recurrent NTRK fusion in glioneuronal tumors has an important implication in the clinical decision making and opens up a possibility of novel targeted therapy.

Here, we report zonation- dependent transcriptomic changes in aged mouse brain endothelial cells (ECs), which pro- minently implicate altered immune/cytokine signaling in ECs of all vascular segments, and functional changes impacting the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and glucose/energy metabolism especially in capillary ECs (capECs). An overrepresentation of Alzheimer disease (AD) GWAS genes is evident among the human orthologs of the differentially expressed genes of aged capECs, while comparative analysis revealed a subset of concordantly downregulated, functionally important genes in human AD brains. Treatment with exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, strongly reverses aged mouse brain EC transcriptomic changes and BBB leakage, with associated attenuation of microglial priming. We thus revealed tran- scriptomic alterations underlying brain EC ageing that are complex yet pharmacologically reversible.

  • Pi3kα Inactivation in Leptin Receptor Cells Increases Leptin Sensitivity but Disrupts Growth and Reproduction
    PI3Kα inactivation in leptin receptor cells increases leptin sensitivity but disrupts growth and reproduction David Garcia-Galiano, … , Jennifer W. Hill, Carol F. Elias JCI Insight. 2017;2(23):e96728. https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.96728. Research Article Reproductive biology The role of PI3K in leptin physiology has been difficult to determine due to its actions downstream of several metabolic cues, including insulin. Here, we used a series of mouse models to dissociate the roles of specific PI3K catalytic subunits and of insulin receptor (InsR) downstream of leptin signaling. We show that disruption of p110α and p110β subunits in leptin receptor cells (LRΔα+β) produces a lean phenotype associated with increased energy expenditure, locomotor activity, and thermogenesis. LRΔα+β mice have deficient growth and delayed puberty. Single subunit deletion (i.e., p110α in LRΔα) resulted in similarly increased energy expenditure, deficient growth, and pubertal development, but LRΔα mice have normal locomotor activity and thermogenesis. Blunted PI3K in leptin receptor (LR) cells enhanced leptin sensitivity in metabolic regulation due to increased basal hypothalamic pAKT, leptin-induced pSTAT3, and decreased PTEN levels. However, these mice are unresponsive to leptin’s effects on growth and puberty. We further assessed if these phenotypes were associated with disruption of insulin signaling. LRΔInsR mice have no metabolic or growth deficit and show only mild delay in pubertal completion. Our findings demonstrate that PI3K in LR cells plays an essential role in energy expenditure, growth, and reproduction. These actions are independent from insulin signaling.

Current understanding of TRN neurobiology has been limited due to the lack of a comprehensive survey of TRN heterogeneity. In this thesis, I developed an integrative computational framework to analyze the single-nucleus RNA sequencing data of mouse TRN in a data-driven manner. By combining transcriptomic, genetic, and functional proteomic data, I discovered novel insights into the molecular mecha- nisms through which TRN regulates sensory gating, and suggested targeted follow-up experiments to validate these findings.

In recent years, a large number of linkage and association studies have been conducted producing an extremely large number of findings often not replicated or partially replicated. Further, results from linkage and association studies are not always easily comparable. Unfortunately, at present a comprehensive coverage of available evidence is still lacking. In the present paper, we summarized results obtained from both linkage and association studies in BP. Further, we indicated new potential interesting genes, located in genome ‘hot regions’ for BP and being expressed in the brain. We reviewed published studies on the subject till December 2007. We precisely localized regions where positive linkage has been found, by the NCBI Map viewer (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/); further, we identified genes located in interesting areas and expressed in the brain, by the Entrez gene, Unigene databases (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/) and Human Protein Reference Database (http://www.hprd.org); these genes could be of interest in future investigations. The review of association studies gave interesting results, as a number of genes seem to be definitively involved in BP, such as SLC6A4, TPH2, DRD4, SLC6A3, DAOA, DTNBP1, NRG1, DISC1 and BDNF.

In this study, we sought to assess the role of rare recurrent variants in non-European populations and outside of coding regions. We generated whole genome sequence (WGS) data on 875 individuals, Citation: Liu, Y.; Chang, X.; Qu, including 205 ADHD cases and 670 non-ADHD controls. The cases included 116 African Americans H.-Q.; Tian, L.; Glessner, J.; Qu, J.; Li, (AA) and 89 European Americans (EA), and the controls included 408 AA and 262 EA.
