Its yearling weight and carcass traits (backfat thickness, carcass weight, eye muscle area, and marbling score) are economically important for the selection of young and proven bulls. In recent decades, the advent of high throughput genotyping technologies has made it possible to perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the detection of genomic regions associated with traits of economic interest in different species. In this study, we conducted a weighted single-step genome-wide association study which combines all genotypes, phenotypes and pedigree data in one step (ssGBLUP). It allows for the use of all SNPs simultaneously along with all phenotypes from genotyped and ungenotyped animals. Our results revealed 33 relevant genomic regions related to the traits of interest.

Richardson✉ , Larisa Y. Poluektova 1, Suzanne L. Mansour4 and Masato Ohtsuka 5,6 The research community is in a race to understand the molecular mechanisms of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, to repurpose currently available antiviral drugs and to develop new therapies and vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). One major challenge in achieving these goals is the paucity of suitable preclinical animal models. Mice constitute ~70% of all the laboratory animal species used in biomedical research. Unfortunately, SARS-CoV-2 infects mice only if they have been genetically modified to express human ACE2. The inherent resistance of wild-type mice to SARS-CoV-2, combined with a wealth of genetic tools that are available only for modifying mice, offers a unique opportunity to create a versatile set of genetically engineered mouse models useful for COVID-19 research. We propose three broad categories of these models and more than two dozen designs that may be useful for SARS-CoV-2 research and for fighting COVID-19. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; – he research community is in desperate need of animal in SARS virus studies4 7. Like SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 uses Tmodels for testing therapeutics and vaccines against the hACE2 receptor for entry into cells. Therefore some of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and for studies these transgenic models have been investigated for their suit- aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of severe ability for SARS-CoV-2 studies8,9.

  • The Role of Transcriptional Factor D-Site-Binding Protein in Circadian CCL2 Gene Expression in Anti-Thy1 Nephritis
    Cellular & Molecular Immunology www.nature.com/cmi ARTICLE The role of transcriptional factor D-site-binding protein in circadian CCL2 gene expression in anti-Thy1 nephritis Yang Lu1, Yan Mei1, Lei Chen1, Lingling Wu1, Xu Wang1, Yingjie Zhang1,BoFu1, Xizhao Chen1, Yuansheng Xie1, Guangyan Cai1, Xueyuan Bai1, Qinggang Li1 and Xiangmei Chen1 Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) is an inflammatory disease, but both the nature of disease progression and its regulation remain unclear. In the present study, we monitored the course of anti-Thy1 nephritis from days 1 to 5 and established gene expression profiles at each time point using microarrays to explore the development of inflammation. According to the gene expression profiles, macrophage infiltration (triggered by CCL2 activation) was evident on day 1 and enhanced inflammation over the next few days. We screened for genes with expression levels similar to CCL2 and found that the upregulation of the circadian gene albumin D-site-binding protein (DBP) was involved in CCL2 activation in mesangial cells. More importantly, CCL2 expression showed oscillatory changes similar to DBP, and DBP induced peak CCL2 expression at 16:00 a clock on day 1 in the anti-Thy1 nephritis model. We knocked down DBP through transfection with a small interfering RNA (siRNA) and used RNA sequencing to identify the DBP-regulated TNF-α-CCL2 pathway. We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and the dual luciferase assay to show that DBP bound to the TRIM55 promoter, regulating gene expression and in turn controlling the TNF-α-CCL2 pathway. In conclusion, DBP-regulated circadian CCL2 expression by the TRIM55-TNF pathway in injured mesangial cells at an early stage, which promoted macrophage recruitment and in turn triggered infiltration and inflammation in a model of anti-Thy1 nephritis.

  • Gene Expression Profiles of Ductal Versus Acinar Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate
    Modern Pathology (2009) 22, 1273–1279 & 2009 USCAP, Inc. All rights reserved 0893-3952/09 $32.00 1273 Gene expression profiles of ductal versus acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate Souzan Sanati1, Mark A Watson2, Andrea L Salavaggione2 and Peter A Humphrey1 1Department of Pathology and Immunology, Division of Anatomic and Molecular Pathology, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, USA and 2Department of Pathology and Immunology, Division of Laboratory and Genomic Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, USA Ductal adenocarcinoma is an uncommon variant of prostatic adenocarcinoma with a generally more aggressive clinical course than usual acinar adenocarcinoma. However, the molecular distinction between ductal and acinar adenocarcinomas is not well characterized. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the relatedness of ductal versus acinar prostatic adenocarcinoma by comparative gene expression profiling. Archived, de- identified, snap frozen tumor tissue from 5 ductal adenocarcinomas, 3 mixed ductal–acinar adenocarcinomas, and 11 acinar adenocarcinomas cases were analyzed. All cases of acinar and ductal adenocarcinomas were matched by Gleason grade. RNA from whole tissue sections of the 5 ductal and 11 acinar adenocarcinomas cases were subjected to gene expression profiling on Affymetrix U133Plus2 microarrays. Independently, laser- capture microdissection was also performed on the three mixed ductal–acinar cases and five pure acinar cases to isolate homogeneous populations of ductal and acinar carcinoma cells from the same tumor. Seven of these laser-capture microdissected samples (three ductal and four acinar cell populations) were similarly analyzed on U133Plus2 arrays. Analysis of data from whole sections of ductal and acinar carcinomas identified only 25 gene transcripts whose expression was significantly and at least two-fold different between ductal and acinar adenocarcinomas.

  • Muscle Ring Finger-3 Protects Against Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Induced by a High Fat Diet Megan T
    Quintana et al. BMC Endocrine Disorders (2015) 15:36 DOI 10.1186/s12902-015-0028-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Muscle ring finger-3 protects against diabetic cardiomyopathy induced by a high fat diet Megan T. Quintana1†, Jun He2,3†, Jenyth Sullivan5, Trisha Grevengoed6, Jonathan Schisler4,7, Yipin Han8, Joseph A. Hill9, Cecelia C. Yates10, William E. Stansfield1, Rudo F. Mapanga11, M. Faadiel Essop11, Michael J. Muehlbauer12, Christopher B. Newgard12,13, James R. Bain12,13 and Monte S. Willis2,4* Abstract Background: The pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) involves the enhanced activation of peroxisome proliferator activating receptor (PPAR) transcription factors, including the most prominent isoform in the heart, PPARα. In cancer cells and adipocytes, post-translational modification of PPARs have been identified, including ligand-dependent degradation of PPARs by specific ubiquitin ligases. However, the regulation of PPARs in cardiomyocytes and heart have not previously been identified. We recently identified that muscle ring finger-1 (MuRF1) and MuRF2 differentially inhibit PPAR activities by mono-ubiquitination, leading to the hypothesis that MuRF3 may regulate PPAR activity in vivo to regulate DCM. Methods: MuRF3−/− mice were challenged with 26 weeks 60 % high fat diet to induce insulin resistance and DCM. Conscious echocardiography, blood glucose, tissue triglyceride, glycogen levels, immunoblot analysis of intracellular signaling, heart and skeletal muscle morphometrics, and PPARα,PPARβ,andPPARγ1 activities were assayed. Results: MuRF3−/− mice exhibited a premature systolic heart failure by 6 weeks high fat diet (vs. 12 weeks in MuRF3+/+). MuRF3−/− mice weighed significantly less than sibling-matched wildtype mice after 26 weeks HFD. These differences may be largely due to resistance to fat accumulation, as MRI analysis revealed MuRF3−/− mice had significantly less fat mass, but not lean body mass.

  • Characterization of Porcine Tripartite Motif Genes As Host Restriction
    Virus Research 270 (2019) 197647 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Virus Research journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/virusres Characterization of porcine tripartite motif genes as host restriction factors against PRRSV and PEDV infection T ⁎ ⁎ Ying Wei, Chuangchao Zou, Siying Zeng, Chunyi Xue , Yongchang Cao State Key Laboratory of Biocontrol, School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510006, China ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Members of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family are the important effectors of the innate immune response against Porcine tripartite motif family viral infections. However, it is still unknown whether porcine TRIM (pTRIM) genes may restrict the infection of Positive selection porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). In β IFN- this study, we firstly defined the entire pTRIM family. Fifty-seven pTRIMs were classified into 12 sub-families (C- Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome I to C-XII) based on variable C-terminus, and 17 out of them were identified as positively selected genes. Nine virus pTRIMs were identified as the IFN-stimulated genes in IFN-β treated porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus Twelve pTRIMs were regulated in PRRSV or PEDV-infected PAMs, respectively. The mRNA expression of the implicated restriction factors (pTRIM5, 14, 21, 25 and 38) was detectable in all swine tissues studied, with the high expression in the spleen and lung tissues. These results firstly present the comprehensive characterization of pTRIM genes, and suggest the pTRIM5, 14, 21, 25, and 38 genes as the implicated host restriction factors against PRRSV and PEDV infection, which provide a basis to further study the functions of pTRIMs and the mechanism by which pTRIMs may act during viral infection.
