A pH-eQTL interaction at the RIT2-SYT4 Parkinson’s disease risk locus in the substantia nigra Authors and affiliations: Sejal Patel1*, Derek Howard1, Leon French1,2,3,4* 1.

Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Canada 3. Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto 4. Institute for Medical Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) causes severe motor and cognitive disabilities that result from the progressive loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra. The rs12456492 variant in the RIT2 gene has been repeatedly associated with increased risk for Parkinson's disease. From a transcriptomic perspective, a meta-analysis found that RIT2 gene expression is correlated with pH in the human brain. To assess these pH associations in relation to PD risk, we examined the two datasets that assayed rs12456492, gene expression, and pH in the postmortem human brain. Using the BrainEAC dataset, we replicate the positive correlation between RIT2 gene expression and pH in the human brain (n=100). Furthermore, we found that the relationship between expression and pH is influenced by rs12456492.

Here we show the deletion of Zbtb16 in mice leads to social impairment, repetitive behaviors, risk- taking behaviors, and cognitive impairment. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the behavioral phenotypes, we conducted histological analyses and observed impairments in thinning of neocortical layer 6 (L6) and a reduction of TBR1+ neurons in Zbtb16 KO mice. Furthermore, we found increased dendritic spines and microglia, as well as developmental defects in oligodendrocytes and neocortical myelination in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of Zbtb16 KO mice. Using genomics approaches, we identified the Zbtb16 transcriptome that includes genes involved in neocortical maturation such as neurogenesis and myelination, and both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) pathobiology. Co-expression networks further identified Zbtb16-correlated modules that are unique to ASD or SCZ, respectively. Our study provides insight into the novel roles of ZBTB16 in behaviors and neocortical development related to the disorders. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction identified as a causative mutation for skeletal defects, ZBTB16 (PLZF) encodes a transcription factor, which genital hypoplasia, and mental retardation (SGYMR)6,7.

  • Mouse Rit2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
    https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Rit2 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Rit2 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Rit2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_009065 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000057455 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 18. 5 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 5 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000153060). Exon 3 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 3 starts from about 24.73% of the coding region. Exon 3 covers 11.37% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~74 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Neutrophils (PMNs) are the most abundant cellular component of our innate immune system, where they play central roles in the pathogenesis of and resistance to a broad range of diseases. However, their roles in malarial infection remain poorly understood. Therefore, we examined the transcriptional gene profile of human PMNs in response to Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized erythrocytes (iRBCs) by using oligonucleotide microarrays. Results revealed that PMNs induced a broad and vigorous set of changes in gene expression in response to malarial parasites, represented by 118 upregulated and 216 downregulated genes.
