Irlnc: a Novel Functional Noncoding RNA Contributes to Intramuscular Fat Wang et al. BMC Genomics (2021) 22:95 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-020-07349-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access IRLnc: a novel functional noncoding RNA contributes to intramuscular fat deposition Ligang Wang1, Zhong-Yin Zhou2*, Tian Zhang1,3, Longchao Zhang1, Xinhua Hou1, Hua Yan1 and Lixian Wang1* Abstract Background: Intramuscular fat (IMF) is associated with meat quality and insulin resistance in animals. Research on genetic mechanism of IMF decomposition has positive meaning to pork quality and diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes treatment. In this study, an IMF trait segregation population was used to perform RNA sequencing and to analyze the joint or independent effects of genes and long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) on IMF. Results: A total of 26 genes including six lincRNA genes show significantly different expression between high- and low-IMF pigs. Interesting, one lincRNA gene, named IMF related lincRNA (IRLnc) not only has a 292-bp conserved region in 100 vertebrates but also has conserved up and down stream genes (< 10 kb) in pig and humans. Real- time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) validation study indicated that nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 (NR4A3) which located at the downstream of IRLnc has similar expression pattern with IRLnc. RNAi-mediated loss of function screens identified that IRLnc silencing could inhibit both of the RNA and protein expression of NR4A3. And the in-situ hybridization co-expression experiment indicates that IRLnc may directly binding to NR4A3. As the NR4A3 could regulate the catecholamine catabolism, which could affect insulin sensitivity, we inferred that IRLnc influence IMF decomposition by regulating the expression of NR4A3. Conclusions: In conclusion, a novel functional noncoding variation named IRLnc has been found contribute to IMF by regulating the expression of NR4A3. These findings suggest novel mechanistic approach for treatment of insulin resistance in human beings and meat quality improvement in animal.

Open data enables researchers to accelerate cancer studies, save resources and foster collaboration. Several tools and programming approaches are available for analyzing data, including annotation, clustering, comparison and extrapolation, merging, enrichment, functional association and statistics. We exploit openly available data via cancer gene expression analysis, we apply refinement as well as enrichment analysis via gene ontology and conclude with graph-based visualization of involved protein interaction networks as a basis for signaling. The different databases allowed for the construction of huge networks or specified ones consisting of high-confidence interactions only. Several genes associated to glioma were isolated via a network analysis from top hub nodes as well as from an outlier analysis. The latter approach highlights a mitogen-activated protein kinase next to a member of histondeacetylases and a protein phosphatase as genes uncommonly associated with glioma. Cluster analysis from top hub nodes lists several identified glioma-associated gene products to function within protein complexes, including epidermal growth factors as well as cell cycle proteins or RAS proto-oncogenes.

  • Genome-Wide Insights on Gastrointestinal Nematode
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome‑wide insights on gastrointestinal nematode resistance in autochthonous Tunisian sheep A. M. Ahbara1,2, M. Rouatbi3,4, M. Gharbi3,4, M. Rekik1, A. Haile1, B. Rischkowsky1 & J. M. Mwacharo1,5* Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections have negative impacts on animal health, welfare and production. Information from molecular studies can highlight the underlying genetic mechanisms that enhance host resistance to GIN. However, such information often lacks for traditionally managed indigenous livestock. Here, we analysed 600 K single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes of GIN infected and non‑infected traditionally managed autochthonous Tunisian sheep grazing communal natural pastures. Population structure analysis did not fnd genetic diferentiation that is consistent with infection status. However, by contrasting the infected versus non‑infected cohorts using ROH, LR‑GWAS, FST and XP‑EHH, we identifed 35 candidate regions that overlapped between at least two methods. Nineteen regions harboured QTLs for parasite resistance, immune capacity and disease susceptibility and, ten regions harboured QTLs for production (growth) and meat and carcass (fatness and anatomy) traits. The analysis also revealed candidate regions spanning genes enhancing innate immune defence (SLC22A4, SLC22A5, IL‑4, IL‑13), intestinal wound healing/repair (IL‑4, VIL1, CXCR1, CXCR2) and GIN expulsion (IL‑4, IL‑13). Our results suggest that traditionally managed indigenous sheep have evolved multiple strategies that evoke and enhance GIN resistance and developmental stability. They confrm the importance of obtaining information from indigenous sheep to investigate genomic regions of functional signifcance in understanding the architecture of GIN resistance. Small ruminants (sheep and goats) make immense socio-economic and cultural contributions across the globe.

Heemskerk1,9* Novel platelet and megakaryocyte transcriptome analysis allows prediction of the full or theoretical proteome of a representative human platelet. Here, we integrated the established platelet proteomes from six cohorts of healthy subjects, encompassing 5.2 k proteins, with two novel genome‑wide transcriptomes (57.8 k mRNAs). For 14.8 k protein‑coding transcripts, we assigned the proteins to 21 UniProt‑based classes, based on their preferential intracellular localization and presumed function. This classifed transcriptome‑proteome profle of platelets revealed: (i) Absence of 37.2 k genome‑ wide transcripts. (ii) High quantitative similarity of platelet and megakaryocyte transcriptomes (R = 0.75) for 14.8 k protein‑coding genes, but not for 3.8 k RNA genes or 1.9 k pseudogenes (R = 0.43–0.54), suggesting redistribution of mRNAs upon platelet shedding from megakaryocytes. (iii) Copy numbers of 3.5 k proteins that were restricted in size by the corresponding transcript levels (iv) Near complete coverage of identifed proteins in the relevant transcriptome (log2fpkm > 0.20) except for plasma‑derived secretory proteins, pointing to adhesion and uptake of such proteins. (v) Underrepresentation in the identifed proteome of nuclear‑related, membrane and signaling proteins, as well proteins with low‑level transcripts.

  • A Genomic View of Estrogen Actions in Human Breast Cancer Cells by Expression Profiling of the Hormone-Responsive Transcriptome

Changes in the expression of 8400 genes were monitored here by cDNA microarray analysis during the first 32 h of human breast cancer (BC) ZR-75·1 cell stimulation with a mitogenic dose of 17-estradiol, a timing which corresponds to completion of a full mitotic cycle in hormone-stimulated cells. Hierarchical clustering of 344 genes whose expression either increases or decreases significantly in response to estrogen reveals that the gene expression program activated by the hormone in these cells shows 8 main patterns of gene activation/inhibition.
