EGFR Phosphorylation of DCBLD2 Recruits TRAF6 and Stimulates AKT-Promoted Tumorigenesis
EGFR phosphorylation of DCBLD2 recruits TRAF6 and stimulates AKT-promoted tumorigenesis Haizhong Feng, … , Hai Yan, Shi-Yuan Cheng J Clin Invest. 2014;124(9):3741-3756. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI73093. Research Article Oncology Aberrant activation of EGFR in human cancers promotes tumorigenesis through stimulation of AKT signaling. Here, we determined that the discoidina neuropilin-like membrane protein DCBLD2 is upregulated in clinical specimens of glioblastomas and head and neck cancers (HNCs) and is required for EGFR-stimulated tumorigenesis. In multiple cancer cell lines, EGFR activated phosphorylation of tyrosine 750 (Y750) of DCBLD2, which is located within a recently identified binding motif for TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6). Consequently, phosphorylation of DCBLD2 Y750 recruited TRAF6, leading to increased TRAF6 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and subsequent activation of AKT, thereby enhancing EGFR-driven tumorigenesis. Moreover, evaluation of patient samples of gliomas and HNCs revealed an association among EGFR activation, DCBLD2 phosphorylation, and poor prognoses. Together, our findings uncover a pathway in which DCBLD2 functions as a signal relay for oncogenic EGFR signaling to promote tumorigenesis and suggest DCBLD2 and TRAF6 as potential therapeutic targets for human cancers that are associated with EGFR activation.

Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Podocytes Mature Into Vascularized Glomeruli Upon Experimental Transplantation

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green ﬂuorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

Rare and Low-Frequency Coding Variants Alter Human Adult Height

Published in final edited form as: Nature. 2017 February 09; 542(7640): 186–190. doi:10.1038/nature21039. Rare and low-frequency coding variants alter human adult height A full list of authors and affiliations appears at the end of the article. Summary Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with ∼700 common associated variants identified so far through genome-wide association studies. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor allele frequencies (range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 cm/ allele (e.g. in IHH, STC2, AR and CRISPLD2), >10 times the average effect of common variants. In functional follow-up studies, rare height-increasing alleles of STC2 (+1-2 cm/allele) compromised proteolytic inhibition of PAPP-A and increased cleavage of IGFBP-4 in vitro, resulting in higher bioavailability of insulin-like growth factors. These 83 height-associated variants overlap genes mutated in monogenic growth disorders and highlight new biological candidates (e.g. ADAMTS3, IL11RA, NOX4) and pathways (e.g. proteoglycan/ glycosaminoglycan synthesis) involved in growth. Our results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate to large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.

A Homozygous Nonsense Mutation in DCBLD2 Is a Candidate Cause of Developmental Delay, Dysmorphic Features and Restrictive Cardiomyopathy Kheloud M
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A homozygous nonsense mutation in DCBLD2 is a candidate cause of developmental delay, dysmorphic features and restrictive cardiomyopathy Kheloud M. Alhamoudi1, Tlili Barhoumi2, Hamad Al‑Eidi1, Abdulaziz Asiri3, Marwan Nashabat4, Manal Alaamery5, Masheal Alharbi1, Yazeid Alhaidan1, Brahim Tabarki6, Muhammad Umair1 & Majid Alfadhel1,4* DCBLD2 encodes discodin, CUB and LCCL domain‑containing protein 2, a type‑I transmembrane receptor that is involved in intracellular receptor signalling pathways and the regulation of cell growth. In this report, we describe a 5‑year‑old female who presented severe clinical features, including restrictive cardiomyopathy, developmental delay, spasticity and dysmorphic features. Trio‑ whole‑exome sequencing and segregation analysis were performed to identify the genetic cause of the disease within the family. A novel homozygous nonsense variant in the DCBLD2 gene (c.80G > A, p.W27*) was identifed as the most likely cause of the patient’s phenotype. This nonsense variant falls in the extracellular N‑terminus of DCBLD2 and thus might afect proper protein function of the transmembrane receptor. A number of in vitro investigations were performed on the proband’s skin fbroblasts compared to normal fbroblasts, which allowed a comprehensive assessment resulting in the functional characterization of the identifed DCBLD2 nonsense variant in diferent cellular processes. Our data propose a signifcant association between the identifed variant and the observed reduction in cell proliferation,

Mouse Dcbld2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Dcbld2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Dcbld2 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Dcbld2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_028523 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000035107 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 16. 16 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 16 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000046663). Exon 5~7 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Dcbld2 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-86O4 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 reduced postnatal angiogenesis and impaired recovery from femoral artery ligation with impaired blood flow and decreased capillary density. Exon 5 starts from about 26.66% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 5~7 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 4 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 3059 bp, and the size of intron 7 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 884 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1888 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Identification of DCBLD2 in a proteomics screen to identify substrates of Src family tyrosine kinases that bind the Src homology 2 domain of CT10 regulator of kinase-Like (CrkL), a critical scaffolding protein for neuronal development, led to a need for further characterization of the protein.

Kaminski27, Vincent T. Cunliffe6, Albert J. Becker5,y & Enrico Petretto7,29,y Gene-regulatory network analysis is a powerful approach to elucidate the molecular processes and pathways underlying complex disease. Here we employ systems genetics approaches to characterize the genetic regulation of pathophysiological pathways in human temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Using surgically acquired hippocampi from 129 TLE patients, we identify a gene-regulatory network genetically associated with epilepsy that contains a specialized, highly expressed transcriptional module encoding proconvulsive cytokines and Toll-like receptor signalling genes. RNA sequencing analysis in a mouse model of TLE using 100 epileptic and 100 control hippocampi shows the proconvulsive module is preserved across-species, specific to the epileptic hippocampus and upregulated in chronic epilepsy.
