Facteur De Risque Génétique Aux Maladies Inflammatoires De L’Intestin Et Modulateur D’Inflammation Université de Montréal MAST3 : facteur de risque génétique aux maladies inflammatoires de l’intestin et modulateur d’inflammation par Catherine Labbé Département de sciences biomédicales Faculté de médecine Thèse présentée à la Faculté de médecine en vue de l’obtention du grade de doctorat en sciences biomédicales 5 août, 2011 © Catherine Labbé, 2011 Université de Montréal Faculté de médecine Cette thèse intitulée : MAST3 : facteur de risque génétique aux maladies inflammatoires de l’intestin et modulateur d’inflammation Présentée par : Catherine Labbé a été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Daniel Sinnett, président-rapporteur John D. Rioux, directeur de recherche Zoha Kibar, membre du jury Yohan Bossé, examinateur externe Gaëtan Mayer, représentant du doyen de la FES i Résumé La maladie de Crohn (MC) et la colite ulcéreuse (CU) sont des maladies inflammatoires chroniques du tube digestif qu’on regroupe sous le terme maladies inflammatoires de l’intestin (MII). Les mécanismes moléculaires menant au développement des MII ne sont pas entièrement connus, mais des études génétiques et fonctionnelles ont permis de mettre en évidence des interactions entre des prédispositions génétiques et des facteurs environnementaux - notamment la flore intestinale – qui contribuent au développement d’une dérégulation de la réponse immunitaire menant à l’inflammation de la muqueuse intestinale. Des études d’association pangénomiques et ciblées ont permis d’identifier plusieurs gènes de susceptibilité aux MII mais les estimations de la contribution de ces gènes à l’héritabilité suggèrent que plusieurs gènes restent à découvrir. Certains d’entre eux peuvent se trouver dans les régions identifiées par des études de liaison génétique. L’objectif de mon projet de doctorat était d’identifier un ou des facteurs de risque génétique dans la région chromosomale 19p (identifiée comme région de liaison IBD6) et de le/les caractériser au niveau fonctionnel. Nous avons d’abord entrepris une cartographie d’association de la région 19p. À la suite du génotypage successif de deux cohortes indépendantes, nous avons identifié un SNP intronique et quatre SNP codants dont un non-synonyme, rs8108738, tous localisés dans le gène microtubule associated serine threonine kinase gene-3 (MAST3) et associés aux MII. Peu d’information fonctionnelle sur MAST3 était disponible. Par contre MAST2, une protéine encodée par un gène de la même famille, régule l’activité du facteur de transcription inflammatoire NF-κB. Nous avons confirmé l’implication de MAST3 dans l’activité de NF-κB via un knockdown de MAST3 et des essais gène-rapporteur. Pour poursuivre la caractérisation fonctionnelle de MAST3, nous avons choisi une approche non ciblée pour étudier les effets de la variation des niveaux d’expression de MAST3 sur la cellule. C’est-à-dire que nous avons créé un 1er modèle cellulaire de surexpression du gène MAST3 dans les ii cellules HEK293 et analysé l’expression pangénomique endogène. La validation de l’expression génique dans un 2e modèle cellulaire de knockdown et de type cellulaire différent (THP1), nous a permis d’identifier et de contrer les effets non-spécifiques dus aux niveaux non-physiologiques. Notre étude d’expression a mené à l’identification d’un groupe de gènes dont l’expression est régulée par MAST3. Ces gènes sont majoritairement impliqués dans des fonctions immunitaires (cytokines pro- inflammatoires, régulateurs de NF-κB, migration cellulaire, etc.) et une forte proportion est régulée par NF-κB. Nous avons évalué l’importance du groupe de gènes régulés par MAST3 dans la présentation clinique des MII à travers des études d’expression dans des biopsies intestinales de patients atteints de CU. Nous avons constaté que l’expression de ces gènes est significativement supérieure dans les régions enflammées par rapport aux régions saines de la muqueuse intestinale des patients atteints de CU. Globalement, les résultats de nos études suggèrent que le facteur de risque aux MII MAST3 agit via la voie du facteur de transcription NF-κB pour influencer l’expression d’un groupe de gènes impliqués dans l’inflammation intestinale typique des MII. Chaque étude génétique sur les MII a le potentiel d’orienter les recherches fonctionnelles vers de nouvelles voies biologiques causales. Le dévoilement des mécanismes moléculaires sous-jacents à ces voies permet d’augmenter les connaissances sur le développement de ces maladies vers une compréhension plus complète de la pathogenèse qui permettra d’optimiser le diagnostic et le traitement de ces maladies. Mots-clés : Maladies inflammatoires de l’intestin, susceptibilité génétique, chromosome 19p, MAST3, NF-κB, expression pangénomique, inflammation iii Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) refer to different chronic inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract mainly Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Mechanisms leading to the pathogenesis of IBD are not completely understood, but genetic and functional studies have highlighted interactions between genetic predispositions and environmental factors, such as the intestinal microbiota, as contributors to the deregulation of the immune response that leads to inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. Genome-wide and targeted association studies have identified several IBD susceptibility genes. However, estimations of the contribution of these genes to heritability of the disease suggest that more are to be discovered. Some of these genes may be in previously identified IBD linkage regions. The objective of my doctoral project was first, to identify risk factors in the 19p chromosomal region (IBD6), previously identified following a genome-wide linkage study, then to characterise them functionally. We first performed a comprehensive association mapping study of the 19p region. Our two-stage genotyping strategy led to the identification of one intronic SNP and four coding SNP –including one non-synonymous SNP, rs8108738 – all located in the microtubule associated serine threonine kinase gene 3 (MAST3) and associated to IBD. Very limited functional information on MAST3 was available at that time. However MAST2 (a gene in the same family as MAST3), is involved in the regulation of inflammation master switch, transcription factor NF-κB. We confirmed the involvement of MAST3 in the modulation of NF-κB via a knockdown of MAST3 and gene reporter assays. In order to further characterize the function of MAST3, we chose a non-targeted approach to study the effects of the modulation of MAST3 levels on the cell. More specifically, we created a 1st cell model of MAST3 overexpression in HEK293 cells and analysed the resulting genome-wide endogenous gene expression. Validation in a 2nd iv cell model consisting of a knockdown of MAST3 in THP1 cells, allowed to identify non- specific gene expression due to non-physiological MAST3 levels. Our expression study led to the identification of a group of genes whose expression is modulated by MAST3. These genes are mainly involved in immune functions (pro-inflammatory cytokines, NF-κB regulation, cellular migration, etc) and a majority is regulated by transcription factor NF-κB. We evaluated the importance of this MAST3-regulated gene set in the clinical manifestation of IBD through an expression study on biopsies of UC patients. We found that the expression the MAST3-regulated gene set was significantly enriched in inflamed region of the intestinal mucosa of UC patients compared to healthy region. Taken together, the results of our study suggest that IBD risk factor MAST3 acts on the NF-κB pathway to influence the expression of a group of genes involved in intestinal inflammation typical of IBD. Every genetic study on IBD has the potential to lead functional research towards new causal biological pathways. The unravelling of the molecular mechanisms underlying these pathways aims to improve the comprehension of the pathogenesis of IBD and hopefully will allow for optimization of diagnostic and treatment of these diseases.

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases 2013, 8:33 http://www.ojrd.com/content/8/1/33 RESEARCH Open Access Small cell ovarian carcinoma: genomic stability and responsiveness to therapeutics Lisa F Gamwell1,2, Karen Gambaro3, Maria Merziotis2, Colleen Crane2, Suzanna L Arcand4, Valerie Bourada1,2, Christopher Davis2, Jeremy A Squire6, David G Huntsman7,8, Patricia N Tonin3,4,5 and Barbara C Vanderhyden1,2* Abstract Background: The biology of small cell ovarian carcinoma of the hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), which is a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer, is poorly understood. Tumourigenicity, in vitro growth characteristics, genetic and genomic anomalies, and sensitivity to standard and novel chemotherapeutic treatments were investigated in the unique SCCOHT cell line, BIN-67, to provide further insight in the biology of this rare type of ovarian cancer. Method: The tumourigenic potential of BIN-67 cells was determined and the tumours formed in a xenograft model was compared to human SCCOHT. DNA sequencing, spectral karyotyping and high density SNP array analysis was performed. The sensitivity of the BIN-67 cells to standard chemotherapeutic agents and to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and the JX-594 vaccinia virus was tested. Results: BIN-67 cells were capable of forming spheroids in hanging drop cultures. When xenografted into immunodeficient mice, BIN-67 cells developed into tumours that reflected the hypercalcemia and histology of human SCCOHT, notably intense expression of WT-1 and vimentin, and lack of expression of inhibin. Somatic mutations in TP53 and the most common activating mutations in KRAS and BRAF were not found in BIN-67 cells by DNA sequencing.

  • CD56+ T-Cells in Relation to Cytomegalovirus in Healthy Subjects and Kidney Transplant Patients
    CD56+ T-cells in Relation to Cytomegalovirus in Healthy Subjects and Kidney Transplant Patients Institute of Infection and Global Health Department of Clinical Infection, Microbiology and Immunology Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Mazen Mohammed Almehmadi December 2014 - 1 - Abstract Human T cells expressing CD56 are capable of tumour cell lysis following activation with interleukin-2 but their role in viral immunity has been less well studied. The work described in this thesis aimed to investigate CD56+ T-cells in relation to cytomegalovirus infection in healthy subjects and kidney transplant patients (KTPs). Proportions of CD56+ T cells were found to be highly significantly increased in healthy cytomegalovirus-seropositive (CMV+) compared to cytomegalovirus-seronegative (CMV-) subjects (8.38% ± 0.33 versus 3.29%± 0.33; P < 0.0001). In donor CMV-/recipient CMV- (D-/R-)- KTPs levels of CD56+ T cells were 1.9% ±0.35 versus 5.42% ±1.01 in D+/R- patients and 5.11% ±0.69 in R+ patients (P 0.0247 and < 0.0001 respectively). CD56+ T cells in both healthy CMV+ subjects and KTPs expressed markers of effector memory- RA T-cells (TEMRA) while in healthy CMV- subjects and D-/R- KTPs the phenotype was predominantly that of naïve T-cells. Other surface markers, CD8, CD4, CD58, CD57, CD94 and NKG2C were expressed by a significantly higher proportion of CD56+ T-cells in healthy CMV+ than CMV- subjects. Functional studies showed levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and TNF-α, as well as granzyme B and CD107a were significantly higher in CD56+ T-cells from CMV+ than CMV- subjects following stimulation with CMV antigens.

  • Coordinate Regulation of Long Non-Coding Rnas and Protein-Coding Genes in Germ- Free Mice Joseph Dempsey, Angela Zhang and Julia Yue Cui*
    Dempsey et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:834 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-5235-3 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Coordinate regulation of long non-coding RNAs and protein-coding genes in germ- free mice Joseph Dempsey, Angela Zhang and Julia Yue Cui* Abstract Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as regulators of tissue-specific cellular functions and have been shown to regulate transcriptional and translational processes, acting as signals, decoys, guides, and scaffolds. It has been suggested that some lncRNAs act in cis to regulate the expression of neighboring protein-coding genes (PCGs) in a mechanism that fine-tunes gene expression. Gut microbiome is increasingly recognized as a regulator of development, inflammation, host metabolic processes, and xenobiotic metabolism. However, there is little known regarding whether the gut microbiome modulates lncRNA gene expression in various host metabolic organs. The goals of this study were to 1) characterize the tissue-specific expression of lncRNAs and 2) identify and annotate lncRNAs differentially regulated in the absence of gut microbiome. Results: Total RNA was isolated from various tissues (liver, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon, brown adipose tissue, white adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle) from adult male conventional and germ-free mice (n = 3 per group). RNA-Seq was conducted and reads were mapped to the mouse reference genome (mm10) using HISAT. Transcript abundance and differential expression was determined with Cufflinks using the reference databases NONCODE 2016 for lncRNAs and UCSC mm10 for PCGs. Although the constitutive expression of lncRNAs was ubiquitous within the enterohepatic (liver and intestine) and the peripheral metabolic tissues (fat and muscle) in conventional mice, differential expression of lncRNAs by lack of gut microbiota was highly tissue specific.

  • ALG12 Gene Pair Kentaro Oh-Hashi1*, Hisashi Koga2, Shun Ikeda2, Kiyo Shimada2, Yoko Hirata1, Kazutoshi Kiuchi1
    Oh-hashi et al. BMC Genomics 2010, 11:664 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/11/664 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Role of an ER stress response element in regulating the bidirectional promoter of the mouse CRELD2 - ALG12 gene pair Kentaro Oh-hashi1*, Hisashi Koga2, Shun Ikeda2, Kiyo Shimada2, Yoko Hirata1, Kazutoshi Kiuchi1 Abstract Background: Recently, we identified cysteine-rich with EGF-like domains 2 (CRELD2) as a novel endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-inducible gene and characterized its transcriptional regulation by ATF6 under ER stress conditions. Interestingly, the CRELD2 and asparagine-linked glycosylation 12 homolog (ALG12) genes are arranged as a bidirectional (head-to-head) gene pair and are separated by less than 400 bp. In this study, we characterized the transcriptional regulation of the mouse CRELD2 and ALG12 genes that is mediated by a common bidirectional promoter. Results: This short intergenic region contains an ER stress response element (ERSE) sequence and is well conserved among the human, rat and mouse genomes. Microarray analysis revealed that CRELD2 and ALG12 mRNAs were induced in Neuro2a cells by treatment with thapsigargin (Tg), an ER stress inducer, in a time- dependent manner. Other ER stress inducers, tunicamycin and brefeldin A, also increased the expression of these two mRNAs in Neuro2a cells. We then tested for the possible involvement of the ERSE motif and other regulatory sites of the intergenic region in the transcriptional regulation of the mouse CRELD2 and ALG12 genes by using variants of the bidirectional reporter construct. With regards to the promoter activities of the CRELD2-ALG12 gene pair, the entire intergenic region hardly responded to Tg, whereas the CRELD2 promoter constructs of the proximal region containing the ERSE motif showed a marked responsiveness to Tg.
