Ubiquitin-Specific Protease As the Underlying Gene Biomarker for Aortic Stenosis Yin Yang†, Lian-Qun Wang†, Bo-Chen Yao† and Zhi-Gang Guo* Yang et al. Lipids in Health and Disease (2020) 19:115 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12944-020-01299-3 RESEARCH Open Access Ubiquitin-specific protease as the underlying gene biomarker for aortic stenosis Yin Yang†, Lian-qun Wang†, Bo-chen Yao† and Zhi-gang Guo* Abstract Background: Aortic stenosis is a common heart valvular disease whose pathological processes include an inflammatory reaction and lipid accumulation. However, its detailed pathogenesis is yet to be completely elucidated. Therefore, it is of great significance to further explore the molecular mechanisms of aortic stenosis. Methods: Four datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Firstly, the differently expressed genes (DEGs) were screened between control and aortic stenosis samples. Secondly, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to find the highly relevant gene modules. Enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networking were also performed, then Cytoscape was used to identify hub genes. Finally, the six participants (3 control participants and 3 patients with aortic stenosis) were recruited at the Tianjin Chest Hospital. In order to verify the expression level of USP14, several molecular experiments were performed, including hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence technology, real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and western blotting. Results: A total of 9636 DEGs were found between the control and aortic stenosis samples. The DEGs were mainly enriched in the autophagy-animal, cellular lipid catabolic process, apoptosis, and glycoside metabolic process categories. Eleven hub genes were identified via four different algorithms. Following verification of the patient samples, Ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) was found to be displayed at higher levels in the aortic stenosis samples. Conclusion: USP14 might be involved in the occurrence and development of aortic stenosis, so it would be a molecular target for early diagnosis and specific treatment of aortic stenosis. There is a significant association between the high expression of USP14 and aortic stenosis, indicating that this gene may be a genetic risk factor for aortic stenosis.

Belancio2 and Dixie L. Mager1* Abstract Transposable element (TE) insertions are responsible for a significant fraction of spontaneous germ line mutations reported in inbred mouse strains. This major contribution of TEs to the mutational landscape in mouse contrasts with the situation in human, where their relative contribution as germ line insertional mutagens is much lower. In this focussed review, we provide comprehensive lists of TE-induced mouse mutations, discuss the different TE types involved in these insertional mutations and elaborate on particularly interesting cases. We also discuss differences and similarities between the mutational role of TEs in mice and humans.

Ovchinnikov Institute of Protein Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, 142290 Pushchino, Moscow Region, Russia; E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Received February 5, 2009 Abstract—In eukaryotic cells, degradation of most intracellular proteins is realized by proteasomes. The substrates for pro- teolysis are selected by the fact that the gate to the proteolytic chamber of the proteasome is usually closed, and only pro- teins carrying a special “label” can get into it. A polyubiquitin chain plays the role of the “label”: degradation affects pro- teins conjugated with a ubiquitin (Ub) chain that consists at minimum of four molecules. Upon entering the proteasome channel, the polypeptide chain of the protein unfolds and stretches along it, being hydrolyzed to short peptides. Ubiquitin per se does not get into the proteasome, but, after destruction of the “labeled” molecule, it is released and labels another molecule. This process has been named “Ub-dependent protein degradation”. In this review we systematize current data on the Ub–proteasome system, describe in detail proteasome structure, the ubiquitination system, and the classical ATP/Ub- dependent mechanism of protein degradation, as well as try to focus readers’ attention on the existence of alternative mech- anisms of proteasomal degradation and processing of proteins.

Published investigations of OCCC have mainly focused only on individual genes and lack of systematic integrated research to analyze the pathogenesis of OCCC in a genome-wide perspective. Thus, we conducted an integrated analysis using transcriptome datasets from a public domain database to determine genes that may be implicated in the pathogenesis involved in OCCC carcinogenesis. We used the data obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) DataSets. We found six interactive functional gene clusters in the pathogenesis network of OCCC, including ribosomal protein, eukaryotic translation initiation factors, lactate, prostaglandin, proteasome, and insulin-like growth factor.

  • Shinydepmap, a Tool to Identify Targetable Cancer Genes and Their Functional Connections from Cancer Dependency Map Data
    TOOLS AND RESOURCES shinyDepMap, a tool to identify targetable cancer genes and their functional connections from Cancer Dependency Map data Kenichi Shimada*, John A Bachman, Jeremy L Muhlich, Timothy J Mitchison Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology and Department of Systems Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States Abstract Individual cancers rely on distinct essential genes for their survival. The Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) is an ongoing project to uncover these gene dependencies in hundreds of cancer cell lines. To make this drug discovery resource more accessible to the scientific community, we built an easy-to-use browser, shinyDepMap (https://labsyspharm.shinyapps.io/ depmap). shinyDepMap combines CRISPR and shRNA data to determine, for each gene, the growth reduction caused by knockout/knockdown and the selectivity of this effect across cell lines. The tool also clusters genes with similar dependencies, revealing functional relationships. shinyDepMap can be used to (1) predict the efficacy and selectivity of drugs targeting particular genes; (2) identify maximally sensitive cell lines for testing a drug; (3) target hop, that is, navigate from an undruggable protein with the desired selectivity profile, such as an activated oncogene, to more druggable targets with a similar profile; and (4) identify novel pathways driving cancer cell growth and survival. *For correspondence: [email protected]. Introduction edu Cancer is a disease of the genome. Hundreds, if not thousands, of driver mutations cause cancer in different patients (MC3 Working Group et al., 2018), and extensive collaborative efforts such as Competing interest: See the Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) have helped discover them (The Cancer Genome Atlas page 17 Research Network, 2019).

  • Systems Biology Analysis of Osteogenic Differentiation Behavior
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Systems biology analysis of osteogenic diferentiation behavior by canine mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow and dental pulp Sirirat Nantavisai1,2,3, Trairak Pisitkun4, Thanaphum Osathanon5,6, Prasit Pavasant5,6, Chanin Kalpravidh7, Sirakarnt Dhitavat8, Jiradej Makjaroen4 & Chenphop Sawangmake2,3,9* Utilization of canine mesenchymal stem cells (cMSCs) for regenerating incorrigible bone diseases has been introduced. However, cMSCs harvested from diferent sources showed distinct osteogenicity. To clarify this, comparative proteomics-based systems biology analysis was used to analyze osteogenic diferentiation behavior by cMSCs harvested from bone marrow and dental pulp. The results illustrated that canine dental pulp stem cells (cDPSCs) contained superior osteogenicity comparing with canine bone marrow-derived MSCs (cBM-MSCs) regarding alkaline phosphatase activity, matrix mineralization, and osteogenic marker expression. Global analyses by proteomics platform showed distinct protein clustering and expression pattern upon an in vitro osteogenic induction between them. Database annotation using Reactome and DAVID revealed contrast and unique expression profle of osteogenesis-related proteins, particularly on signaling pathways, cellular components and processes, and cellular metabolisms. Functional assay and hierarchical clustering for tracking protein dynamic change confrmed that cBM-MSCs required the presences of Wnt, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, and bone-morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, while cDPSCs mainly relied on BMP signaling presentation during osteogenic diferentiation in vitro. Therefore, these fndings illustrated the comprehensive data regarding an in vitro osteogenic diferentiation behavior by cBM-MSCs and cDPSCs which is crucial for further mechanism study and the establishment of cMSC-based bone tissue engineering (BTE) for veterinary practice. Regenerative therapy for reconstructing craniofacial and bone defects is a challenge procedure especially for vet- erinary practice1.

The proteasome has been validated as an anticancer drug target, while the role of a subunit of proteasome, PSMC6, in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been fully unveiled. In this study, we observed that both the RNA and protein of PSMC6 were highly upregulated in LUAD compared with the adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, a high PSMC6 expression was associated with poor prognosis. In accordance with this finding, PSMC6 was associated with poor tumor differentiation. Furthermore, the silence of PSMC6 by small interference RNAs (siRNAs) could significantly inhibit cell growth, migration, and invasion in lung cancer cell lines, suggesting that PSMC6 might serve as a promising therapeutic target in LUAD. To further explore the molecular mechanism of PSMC6 in LUAD, we observed that the proteasome subunits, such as PSMD10, PSMD6, PSMD9, PSMD13, PSMB3, PSMB1, PSMA4, PSMC1, PSMC2, PSMD7, and PSMD14, were highly correlated with PSMC6 expression.

Although RNAi- hits in each screen were known or later validated to be real. The based high-throughput screens are routinely used for this task, lack of concordance suggest that these screens have not reached false discovery and sensitivity remain a challenge. Here we describe saturation (14) and that additional genes of importance remain a computational framework for systematic integration of published to be discovered. gene expression data to identify genes defining a phenotype of Motivated by the need for an alternative approach for iden- interest. We applied our approach to rank-order all genes based on tification of key cell identity genes, we developed a computa- their likelihood of determining ES cell (ESC) identity.
