  • THE ROLE of HOMEODOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR IRX5 in CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY and HYPERTROPHIC RESPONSE by © COPYRIGHT by KYOUNG H
    THE ROLE OF HOMEODOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR IRX5 IN CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY AND HYPERTROPHIC RESPONSE By KYOUNG HAN KIM A THESIS SUBMITTED IN CONFORMITY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO © COPYRIGHT BY KYOUNG HAN KIM (2011) THE ROLE OF HOMEODOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR IRX5 IN CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY AND HYPERTROPHIC RESPONSE KYOUNG HAN KIM DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO 2011 ABSTRACT Irx5 is a homeodomain transcription factor that negatively regulates cardiac fast transient + outward K currents (Ito,f) via the KV4.2 gene and is thereby a major determinant of the transmural repolarization gradient. While Ito,f is invariably reduced in heart disease and changes in Ito,f can modulate both cardiac contractility and hypertrophy, less is known about a functional role of Irx5, and its relationship with Ito,f, in the normal and diseased heart. Here I show that Irx5 plays crucial roles in the regulation of cardiac contractility and proper adaptive hypertrophy. Specifically, Irx5-deficient (Irx5-/-) hearts had reduced cardiac contractility and lacked the normal regional difference in excitation-contraction with decreased action potential duration, Ca2+ transients and myocyte shortening in sub-endocardial, but not sub-epicardial, myocytes. In addition, Irx5-/- mice showed less cardiac hypertrophy, but increased interstitial fibrosis and greater contractility impairment following pressure overload. A defect in hypertrophic responses in Irx5-/- myocardium was confirmed in cultured neonatal mouse ventricular myocytes, exposed to norepinephrine while being restored with Irx5 replacement. Interestingly, studies using mice ii -/- virtually lacking Ito,f (i.e. KV4.2-deficient) showed that reduced contractility in Irx5 mice was completely restored by loss of KV4.2, whereas hypertrophic responses to pressure-overload in hearts remained impaired when both Irx5 and Ito,f were absent.

This is achieved by the recruitment of transcriptional co-factors. One of the consequences of co-factor recruitment is the control of specific properties of nucleosomes, the basic units of chromatin, and their protein components, the core histones. The main principles are to regulate the position and the characteristics of nucleosomes. The latter includes modulating the composition of core histones and their variants that are integrated into nucleosomes, and the post-translational modification of these histones referred to as histone marks. One of these marks is the methylation of lysine 4 of the core histone H3 (H3K4). While mono-methylation of H3K4 (H3K4me1) is located preferentially at active enhancers, tri-methylation (H3K4me3) is a mark found at open and potentially active promoters. Thus, H3K4 methylation is typically associated with gene transcription. The class 2 lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) are the main enzymes that methylate H3K4. KMT2 enzymes function in complexes that contain a necessary core complex composed of WDR5, RBBP5, ASH2L, and DPY30, the so-called WRAD complex.

  • I LITERATURE-BASED DISCOVERY of KNOWN and POTENTIAL NEW
    LITERATURE-BASED DISCOVERY OF KNOWN AND POTENTIAL NEW MECHANISMS FOR RELATING THE STATUS OF CHOLESTEROL TO THE PROGRESSION OF BREAST CANCER BY YU WANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Bioinformatics with a concentration in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Vetle I. Torvik Professor Erik Russell Nelson i ABSTRACT Breast cancer has been studied for a long period of time and from a variety of perspectives in order to understand its pathogeny. The pathogeny of breast cancer can be classified into two groups: hereditary and spontaneous. Although cancer in general is considered a genetic disease, spontaneous factors are responsible for most of the pathogeny of breast cancer. In other words, breast cancer is more likely to be caused and deteriorated by the dysfunction of a physical molecule than be caused by germline mutation directly. Interestingly, cholesterol, as one of those molecules, has been discovered to correlate with breast cancer risk. However, the mechanisms of how cholesterol helps breast cancer progression are not thoroughly understood. As a result, this study aims to study known and discover potential new mechanisms regarding to the correlation of cholesterol and breast cancer progression using literature review and literature-based discovery. The known mechanisms are further classified into four groups: cholesterol membrane content, transport of cholesterol, cholesterol metabolites, and other. The potential mechanisms, which are intended to provide potential new treatments, have been identified and checked for feasibility by an expert.

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.

  • 4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
    Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4).

OLIG1 is important for differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursors into myelin- forming oligodendrocytes during development and is thought to play a crucial role in remyelination during multiple sclerosis. However, itisstillunclearhowOLIG1interactswithitstranscriptionalcofactorsandDNAtargets.OLIG1wasreportedlyrestrictedtomammals,but we demonstrate here that zebrafish and other teleosts also possess an OLIG1 homolog. In zebrafish, as in mammals, Olig1 is expressed in the oligodendrocyte lineage. Olig1 associates physically with another myelin-associated transcription factor, Sox10, and the Olig1/Sox10 complex activates mbp (myelin basic protein) transcription via conserved DNA sequence motifs in the mbp promoter region. In contrast, Olig2 does not bind to Sox10 in zebrafish, although both OLIG1 and OLIG2 bind SOX10 in mouse.

It is expression in embryonic chick spinal cord (Liu et al., 2007).
