Methods—The present study tested for associations between alcohol dependence and related traits and 22 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the seven ADH genes. Participants included 586 adult men and women recruited from eight contiguous Native American reservations. A structured interview was used to assess DSM-III-R alcohol dependence criteria as well as a set of severe alcohol misuse symptoms and alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

  • How Is Alcohol Metabolized by the Body?
    Overview: How Is Alcohol Metabolized by the Body? Samir Zakhari, Ph.D. Alcohol is eliminated from the body by various metabolic mechanisms. The primary enzymes involved are aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), cytochrome P450 (CYP2E1), and catalase. Variations in the genes for these enzymes have been found to influence alcohol consumption, alcohol-related tissue damage, and alcohol dependence. The consequences of alcohol metabolism include oxygen deficits (i.e., hypoxia) in the liver; interaction between alcohol metabolism byproducts and other cell components, resulting in the formation of harmful compounds (i.e., adducts); formation of highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (i.e., reactive oxygen species [ROS]) that can damage other cell components; changes in the ratio of NADH to NAD+ (i.e., the cell’s redox state); tissue damage; fetal damage; impairment of other metabolic processes; cancer; and medication interactions. Several issues related to alcohol metabolism require further research.

  • Bioinformatic Protein Family Characterisation
    Linköping studies in science and technology Dissertation No. 1343 Bioinformatic protein family characterisation Joel Hedlund Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology Linköping, 2010 1 The front cover shows a tree diagram of the relations between proteins in the MDR superfamily (papers III–IV), excluding non-eukaryotic sequences as well as four fifths of the remainder for clarity. In total, 518 out of the 16667 known members are shown, and 1.5 cm in the dendrogram represents 10 % sequence differences. The bottom bar diagram shows conservation in these sequences using the CScore algorithm from the MSAView program (papers II and V), with infrequent insertions omitted for brevity. This example illustrates the size and complexity of the MDR superfamily, and it also serves as an illuminating example of the intricacies of the field of bioinformatics as a whole, where, after scaling down and removing layer after layer of complexity, there is still always ample size and complexity left to go around. The back cover shows a schematic view of the three-dimensional structure of human class III alcohol dehydrogenase, indicating the positions of the zinc ion and NAD cofactors, as well as the Rossmann fold cofactor binding domain (red) and the GroES-like folding core of the catalytic domain (green). This thesis was typeset using LYX. Inkscape was used for figure layout.

  • ARTICLE Evidence of Positive Selection on a Class I ADH Locus
    ARTICLE Evidence of Positive Selection on a Class I ADH Locus Yi Han,* Sheng Gu,* Hiroki Oota,† Michael V. Osier,‡ Andrew J. Pakstis, William C. Speed, Judith R. Kidd, and Kenneth K. Kidd The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) family of enzymes catalyzes the reversible oxidation of alcohol to acetaldehyde. Seven ADH genes exist in a segment of ∼370 kb on 4q21. Products of the three class I ADH genes that share 95% sequence identity are believed to play the major role in the first step of ethanol metabolism. Because the common belief that selection has operated at the ADH1B*47His allele in East Asian populations lacks direct biological or statistical evidence, we used genomic data to test the hypothesis. Data consisted of 54 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the ADH clusters in a global sampling of 42 populations. Both the Fst statistic and the long-range haplotype (LRH) test provided positive evidence of selection in several East Asian populations. The ADH1B Arg47His functional polymorphism has the highest Fst of the 54 SNPs in the ADH cluster, and it is significantly above the mean Fst of 382 presumably neutral sites tested on the same 42 population samples. The LRH test that uses cores including that site and extending on both sides also gives significant evidence of positive selection in some East Asian populations for a specific haplotype carrying the ADH1B*47His allele. Interestingly, this haplotype is present at a high frequency in only some East Asian populations, whereas the specific allele also exists in other East Asian populations and in the Near East and Europe but does not show evidence of selection with use of the LRH test.

Recently, RNA Sequencing (RNA-seq) has been widely used to profile gene expression. To characterize gene expres- sion and pathway dysregulation upon exposure to peroxidized linoleic acid, we incubated intestinal epithelial cells (Caco-2) with 100 µM of 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE) or linoleic acid (LA) for 24 h. Total RNA was extracted for library preparation and Illumina HiSeq sequencing. We identified 3094 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in 13-HPODE-treated cells and 2862 DEGs in LA-treated cells relative to untreated cells. We show that 13-HPODE enhanced lipid metabolic pathways, including steroid hormone biosynthesis, PPAR signaling, and bile secretion, which alter Citation: Faizo, N.; Narasimhulu, lipid uptake and transport.

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13688-z OPEN In vivo functional analysis of non-conserved human lncRNAs associated with cardiometabolic traits Xiangbo Ruan 1,6, Ping Li 1,6, Yi Chen1, Yu Shi1, Mehdi Pirooznia 2, Fayaz Seifuddin2, Hiroshi Suemizu 3, Yasuyuki Ohnishi3, Nao Yoneda3, Megumi Nishiwaki3,4, James Shepherdson1,5, Abhilash Suresh2, Komudi Singh2, Yonghe Ma1, Cheng-fei Jiang1 & Haiming Cao1* Unlike protein-coding genes, the majority of human long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are 1234567890():,; considered non-conserved. Although lncRNAs have been shown to function in diverse pathophysiological processes in mice, it remains largely unknown whether human lncRNAs have such in vivo functions. Here, we describe an integrated pipeline to define the in vivo function of non-conserved human lncRNAs. We first identify lncRNAs with high function potential using multiple indicators derived from human genetic data related to cardiometa- bolic traits, then define lncRNA’s function and specific target genes by integrating its cor- related biological pathways in humans and co-regulated genes in a humanized mouse model. Finally, we demonstrate that the in vivo function of human-specific lncRNAs can be suc- cessfully examined in the humanized mouse model, and experimentally validate the predicted function of an obesity-associated lncRNA, LINC01018, in regulating the expression of genes in fatty acid oxidation in humanized livers through its interaction with RNA-binding protein HuR. 1 Cardiovascular Branch, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA. 2 Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Core, National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA.
