We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

Deletion of Vax1 from Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (Gnrh) Neurons Abolishes Gnrh Expression and Leads to Hypogonadism and Infertility
3506 • The Journal of Neuroscience, March 23, 2016 • 36(12):3506–3518 Cellular/Molecular Deletion of Vax1 from Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Neurons Abolishes GnRH Expression and Leads to Hypogonadism and Infertility Hanne M. Hoffmann,1 Crystal Trang,1 Ping Gong,1 Ikuo Kimura,2 Erica C. Pandolfi,1 and XPamela L. Mellon1 1Department of Reproductive Medicine and the Center for Reproductive Science and Medicine, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093-0674, and 2Department of Applied Biological Science, Graduate School of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Fuchu-shi 183-8509, Japan Hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are at the apex of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis that regu- lates mammalian fertility. Herein we demonstrate a critical role for the homeodomain transcription factor ventral anterior homeobox 1 (VAX1) in GnRH neuron maturation and show that Vax1 deletion from GnRH neurons leads to complete infertility in males and females. Specifically, global Vax1 knock-out embryos had normal numbers of GnRH neurons at 13 d of gestation, but no GnRH staining was detected by embryonic day 17. To identify the role of VAX1 specifically in GnRH neuron development, Vax1flox mice were generated and lineage tracing performed in Vax1flox/flox:GnRHcre:RosaLacZ mice. This identified VAX1 as essential for maintaining expression of Gnrh1. The absence of GnRH staining in adult Vax1flox/flox:GnRHcre mice led to delayed puberty, hypogonadism, and infertility. To address the mechanism by which VAX1 maintains Gnrh1 transcription, the capacity of VAX1 to regulate Gnrh1 transcription was evaluated in the GnRH cell lines GN11 and GT1-7. -
Supplementary Methods
Supplementary methods Human lung tissues and tissue microarray (TMA) All human tissues were obtained from the Lung Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) Tissue Bank at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX). A collection of 26 lung adenocarcinomas and 24 non-tumoral paired tissues were snap-frozen and preserved in liquid nitrogen for total RNA extraction. For each tissue sample, the percentage of malignant tissue was calculated and the cellular composition of specimens was determined by histological examination (I.I.W.) following Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) staining. All malignant samples retained contained more than 50% tumor cells. Specimens resected from NSCLC stages I-IV patients who had no prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy were used for TMA analysis by immunohistochemistry. Patients who had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime were defined as smokers. Samples were fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin, stained with H&E, and reviewed by an experienced pathologist (I.I.W.). The 413 tissue specimens collected from 283 patients included 62 normal bronchial epithelia, 61 bronchial hyperplasias (Hyp), 15 squamous metaplasias (SqM), 9 squamous dysplasias (Dys), 26 carcinomas in situ (CIS), as well as 98 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and 141 adenocarcinomas. Normal bronchial epithelia, hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, dysplasia, CIS, and SCC were considered to represent different steps in the development of SCCs. All tumors and lesions were classified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2004 criteria. The TMAs were prepared with a manual tissue arrayer (Advanced Tissue Arrayer ATA100, Chemicon International, Temecula, CA) using 1-mm-diameter cores in triplicate for tumors and 1.5 to 2-mm cores for normal epithelial and premalignant lesions. -

Formation of T cell- bounded hypoxic granuloma is a host immune defense for containing infected Mtb-macrophages. Our study exploits the mechanistic pathway of Mtb-induced HIF1A silencing by the antisense lncRNA-HIF1A-AS2 in T cells. Computational analysis of in-vitro T-cell stimulation assays in progressors(n=119) versus latent(n=221) tuberculosis patients revealed the role of lncRNA mediated disruption of hypoxia adaptation pathways in progressors. We found 291 upregulated and 227 downregulated lncRNAs that were correlated at mRNA level with HIF1A and HILPDA which are major players in hypoxia response. We also report novel lncRNA-AC010655 (AC010655.4 and AC010655.2) in cis with HILPDA, both of which contain binding sites for the BARX2 transcription factor, thus indicating a mechanistic role. -

Abstract: Avian influenza A viruses are serious veterinary pathogens that normally circulate among avian populations, causing substantial economic impacts. Some strains of avian influenza A viruses, such as H5N1, H9N2, and recently reported H7N9, have been occasionally found to adapt to humans from other species. In order to replicate efficiently in the new host, influenza viruses have to interact with a variety of host factors. In the present study, H7N9 nucleoprotein was transfected into human HEK293T cells, followed by immunoprecipitated and analyzed by proteomics approaches. -

Original Article the Association Between the EPHA3 Gene Polymorphism and Non-Syndromic Cleft Lip with Or Without Palate in the Western Han Chinese Population
Int J Clin Exp Med 2020;13(9):7060-7070 www.ijcem.com /ISSN:1940-5901/IJCEM0112790 Original Article The association between the EPHA3 gene polymorphism and non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate in the western Han Chinese population Yulan Zhou1*, Jiayu Shi2*, Bing Shi1, Zhonglin Jia1 1State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases & Department of Cleft Lip and Palate, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China; 2Division of Growth and Development and Section of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, University of California, Los Angeles, USA. *Equal contributors. Received April 29, 2020; Accepted July 17, 2020; Epub September 15, 2020; Published September 30, 2020 Abstract: Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate (NSCL/P) is a common craniofacial congenital disease which results from multiple susceptibility genes and adverse environmental factors. A recent study reported that the T al- lele of rs7650466 of the EPHA3 gene is a genetic risk factor in the etiology of NSCL/P among the northern Chinese Han population. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the EPHA3 gene variations and NSCL/P in the western Han Chinese population. Here, we conducted targeted region sequencing around rs7632427 (EPHA3) among 159 unrelated NSCL/P cases from the western Han Chinese population and performed a gene-based burden analysis on the rare variations and a single variation association analysis on the common SNVs (single nucleotide variants). Then we found 438 SNVs and 120 indels in all. A burden analysis showed no statistical signifi- cance. The association analysis results suggested that the common SNV rs13094064 was associated with NSCL/P (P=1.86E-07 and OR=0.17), and rs7632427 was most closely related to NSCLO (P=7.49E-05 and OR=0.315). -

The translational machinery can be recruited by malignant cells to synthesize proteins required to promote their survival, even in times of high physiological and pathological stress. This phenomenon has been described in several cancers including in gliomas. Abnormal regulation of translation has encouraged the development of new therapeutics targeting the protein synthesis pathway. This approach could be meaningful for glioma given the fact that the median survival following diagnosis of the highest grade of glioma remains short despite current therapy. The identification of new targets for the development of novel therapeutics is therefore needed in order to improve this devastating overall survival rate. This review discusses current literature on translation in gliomas with a focus on the initiation step covering both the cap-dependent and cap-independent modes of initiation. -

CLINICAL AND MOLECULAR INVESTIGATION OF RARE CONGENITAL DEFECTS OF THE PALATE RIMANTE SESELGYTE A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London August 2019 page Title 1 DECLARATION I, Rimante Seselgyte, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed……………………….. Declaration 3 ABSTRACT Cleft palate (CP) affects around 1/1500 live births and, along with cleft lip, is one of the most common forms of birth defect. The studies presented here focus on unusual defects of the palate, especially to understand better the rarely reported but surprisingly common condition called submucous cleft palate (SMCP). The frequency and consequences of SMCP from a surgical perspective were first investigated based on the caseload of the North Thames Cleft Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital and St Andrew's Centre, Broomfield Hospital, Mid Essex Hospitals Trust. It was previously reported that up to 80% of individuals with unrepaired SMCP experience speech difficulties as a consequence of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). Attempted repair of the palatal defect can sometimes give poor results, so controversies still exist about the correct choice of surgical technique to use. Over 23 years, 222 patients at The North Thames Cleft Service underwent operations to manage SMCP. Nearly half of them (42.8%) were diagnosed with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2 DS). The first operation was palate repair, with an exception of one case, followed by a second surgical intervention required in approximately half of the patients. -
