  • Genome-Wide Screening Identifies a KCNIP1 Copy Number Variant As a Genetic Predictor for Atrial Fibrillation

Previous genome- wide association studies had identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms in several genomic regions to be associated with AF. In human genome, copy number variations (CNVs) are known to contribute to disease susceptibility. Using a genome-wide multistage approach to identify AF susceptibility CNVs, we here show a common 4,470-bp diallelic CNV in the first intron of potassium interacting channel 1 gene (KCNIP1) is strongly associated with AF in Taiwanese populations (odds ratio ¼ 2.27 for insertion allele; P ¼ 6.23 Â 10 À 24). KCNIP1 insertion is associated with higher KCNIP1 mRNA expression. KCNIP1-encoded protein potassium interacting channel 1 (KCHIP1) is physically associated with potassium Kv channels and modulates atrial transient outward current in cardiac myocytes. Overexpression of KCNIP1 results in inducible AF in zebrafish. In conclusions, a common CNV in KCNIP1 gene is a genetic predictor of AF risk possibly pointing to a functional pathway. 1 Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University College of Medicine and Hospital, No.

This review will − focus on the conducting and non-conducting roles of the auxiliary subunits of various Ca2+,K+,Na+ and Cl channels and the burgeoning evidence linking such auxiliary subunits to cancer. Several subunits are upregu- lated (e.g. Cavβ,Cavγ) and downregulated (e.g. Kvβ) in cancer, while other subunits have been functionally implicated as oncogenes (e.g. Navβ1,Cavα2δ1) and tumour suppressor genes (e.g. CLCA2, KCNE2, BKγ1) based on in vivo studies. The strengthening link between ion channel auxiliary subunits and cancer has exposed these subunits as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

  • DNA Methylation Associated with Postpartum Depressive Symptoms Overlaps Findings from a Genome-Wide Association Meta-Analysis of Depression Dana M
    Lapato et al. Clinical Epigenetics (2019) 11:169 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-019-0769-z RESEARCH Open Access DNA methylation associated with postpartum depressive symptoms overlaps findings from a genome-wide association meta-analysis of depression Dana M. Lapato1,2* , Roxann Roberson-Nay2,3, Robert M. Kirkpatrick2,3, Bradley T. Webb2,3, Timothy P. York1,2,4† and Patricia A. Kinser5† Abstract Background: Perinatal depressive symptoms have been linked to adverse maternal and infant health outcomes. The etiology associated with perinatal depressive psychopathology is poorly understood, but accumulating evidence suggests that understanding inter-individual differences in DNA methylation (DNAm) patterning may provide insight regarding the genomic regions salient to the risk liability of perinatal depressive psychopathology. Results: Genome-wide DNAm was measured in maternal peripheral blood using the Infinium MethylationEPIC microarray. Ninety-two participants (46% African-American) had DNAm samples that passed all quality control metrics, and all participants were within 7 months of delivery. Linear models were constructed to identify differentially methylated sites and regions, and permutation testing was utilized to assess significance. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were defined as genomic regions of consistent DNAm change with at least two probes within 1 kb of each other. Maternal age, current smoking status, estimated cell-type proportions, ancestry-relevant principal components, days since delivery, and chip position served as covariates to adjust for technical and biological factors. Current postpartum depressive symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Ninety-eight DMRs were significant (false discovery rate < 5%) and overlapped 92 genes. Three of the regions overlap loci from the latest Psychiatric Genomics Consortium meta-analysis of depression.

Calsenilin was first found to interact with two proteins involved in early-onset familial Alzheimer disease (AD), presenilin 1 and presenilin 2. Several studies have shown overexpression of calsenilin to alter Ca2+ signaling and cell viability in several neuronal cell models of AD. In this study, we show that calsenilin directly interacts with the ryanodine receptor (RyR) modulating Ca2+ release from this intracellular Ca2+-activated Ca2+ release channel. Co-expression, co-localization, and protein-protein interaction of calsenilin and RyR in primary neurons and in central nervous system tissue were determined using immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry and co-immunoprecipitation. Mechanisms of intracellular Ca2+- signaling controlled by the interaction of calsenilin and RyR, including changes in the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, were measured with single channel electrophysiology and live-cell optical imaging techniques. Immunohistochemical studies showed a high degree of co-localization between calsenilin and the RyR in neurons of the central nervous system.

In this review, we present an in-depth analysis of microarray-based gene expression profiles available for microdissected mouse distal nephron segments, i.e., the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and the connecting tubule (CNT), and for the cortical portion of the collecting duct (CCD) (Zuber et al., 2009). Classification of expressed transcripts in 14 major functional gene categories demonstrated that all principal proteins involved in maintaining of salt and water balance are represented by highly abundant transcripts. However, a significant number of transcripts belonging, for instance, to categories of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) or serine-threonine kinases exhibit high expression levels but remain unassigned to a specific renal function.
