  • Analysis of Trans Esnps Infers Regulatory Network Architecture
    Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anat Kreimer All rights reserved ABSTRACT Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer eSNPs are genetic variants associated with transcript expression levels. The characteristics of such variants highlight their importance and present a unique opportunity for studying gene regulation. eSNPs affect most genes and their cell type specificity can shed light on different processes that are activated in each cell. They can identify functional variants by connecting SNPs that are implicated in disease to a molecular mechanism. Examining eSNPs that are associated with distal genes can provide insights regarding the inference of regulatory networks but also presents challenges due to the high statistical burden of multiple testing. Such association studies allow: simultaneous investigation of many gene expression phenotypes without assuming any prior knowledge and identification of unknown regulators of gene expression while uncovering directionality. This thesis will focus on such distal eSNPs to map regulatory interactions between different loci and expose the architecture of the regulatory network defined by such interactions. We develop novel computational approaches and apply them to genetics-genomics data in human. We go beyond pairwise interactions to define network motifs, including regulatory modules and bi-fan structures, showing them to be prevalent in real data and exposing distinct attributes of such arrangements. We project eSNP associations onto a protein-protein interaction network to expose topological properties of eSNPs and their targets and highlight different modes of distal regulation.

  • A Novel Computational Algorithm for Predicting Immune Cell Types Using Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data
    A novel computational algorithm for predicting immune cell types using single-cell RNA sequencing data By Shuo Jia A hesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba n partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Copyright © 2020 by Shuo Jia Abstract Background: Cells from our immune system detect and kill pathogens to protect our body against many diseases. However, current methods for determining cell types have some major limitations, such as being time-consuming and with low throughput rate, etc. These problems stack up and hinder the deep exploration of cellular heterogeneity. Immune cells that are associated with cancer tissues play a critical role in revealing the stages of tumor development. Identifying the immune composition within tumor microenvironments in a timely manner will be helpful to improve clinical prognosis and therapeutic management for cancer. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), an RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technique that focuses on a single cell level, has provided us with the ability to conduct cell type classification. Although unsupervised clustering approaches are the major methods for analyzing scRNA-seq datasets, their results vary among studies with different input parameters and sizes. However, in supervised machine learning methods, information loss and low prediction accuracy are the key limitations. Methods and Results: Genes in the human genome align to chromosomes in a particular order. Hence, we hypothesize incorporating this information into our model will potentially improve the cell type classification performance. In order to utilize gene positional information, we introduce chromosome-based neural network, namely ChrNet, a novel chromosome-specific re-trainable supervised learning method based on a one-dimensional 1 convolutional neural network (1D-CNN).

  • Transcriptional Control of Tissue-Resident Memory T Cell Generation
    Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Filip Cvetkovski All rights reserved ABSTRACT Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are a non-circulating subset of memory that are maintained at sites of pathogen entry and mediate optimal protection against reinfection. Lung TRM can be generated in response to respiratory infection or vaccination, however, the molecular pathways involved in CD4+TRM establishment have not been defined. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of influenza-specific lung CD4+TRM following influenza infection to identify pathways implicated in CD4+TRM generation and homeostasis. Lung CD4+TRM displayed a unique transcriptional profile distinct from spleen memory, including up-regulation of a gene network induced by the transcription factor IRF4, a known regulator of effector T cell differentiation. In addition, the gene expression profile of lung CD4+TRM was enriched in gene sets previously described in tissue-resident regulatory T cells. Up-regulation of immunomodulatory molecules such as CTLA-4, PD-1, and ICOS, suggested a potential regulatory role for CD4+TRM in tissues. Using loss-of-function genetic experiments in mice, we demonstrate that IRF4 is required for the generation of lung-localized pathogen-specific effector CD4+T cells during acute influenza infection. Influenza-specific IRF4−/− T cells failed to fully express CD44, and maintained high levels of CD62L compared to wild type, suggesting a defect in complete differentiation into lung-tropic effector T cells.

However, the mechanism controlling targeting of ciliary components necessary for cilium morphogenesis and signaling is largely unknown. Here, we studied the function of class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase-C2a (PI3K-C2a)inrenal tubule-derived inner medullary collecting duct 3 cells and show that PI3K-C2a resides at the recycling endo- some compartment in proximity to the primary cilium base. In this subcellular location, PI3K-C2a controlled the activation of Rab8, a key mediator of cargo protein targeting to the primary cilium.

  • Tumor-Infiltrating Monocytes/Macrophages Promote Tumor Invasion and Migration by Upregulating S100A8 and S100A9 Expression in Ca
    OPEN Oncogene (2016) 35, 5735–5745 © 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature. All rights reserved 0950-9232/16 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE Tumor-infiltrating monocytes/macrophages promote tumor invasion and migration by upregulating S100A8 and S100A9 expression in cancer cells SY Lim, AE Yuzhalin, AN Gordon-Weeks and RJ Muschel Myeloid cells promote the development of distant metastases, but little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this process. Here we have begun to uncover the effects of myeloid cells on cancer cells in a mouse model of liver metastasis. Monocytes/macrophages, but not granulocytes, isolated from experimental liver metastases stimulated migration and invasion of MC38 colon and Lewis lung carcinoma cells. In response to conditioned media from tumor-infiltrating monocytes/macrophages, cancer cells upregulated S100a8 and S100a9 messenger RNA expression through an extracellular signal-related kinase-dependent mechanism. Suppression of S100A8 and S100A9 in cancer cells using short hairpin RNA significantly diminished migration and invasion in culture. Downregulation of S100A8 and S100A9 had no effect on subcutaneous tumor growth. However, colony size was greatly reduced in liver metastases with decreased invasion into adjacent tissue. In tissue culture and in the liver colonies derived from cancer cells with knockdown of S100A8 and S100A9, MMP2 and MMP9 expression was decreased, consistent with the reduction in migration and invasion. Our findings demonstrate that monocytes/macrophages in the metastatic liver microenvironment induce S100A8 and S100A9 in cancer cells, and that these proteins are essential for tumor cell migration and invasion. S100A8 and S100A9, however, are not responsible for stimulation of proliferation.

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes.

Abstract Proteins that drive processes like clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) are expressed at various copy numbers within a cell, from hundreds (e.g. auxilin) to millions (e.g. clathrin). Between cell types with identical genomes, copy numbers further vary significantly both in absolute and relative abundance. These variations contain essential information about each protein’s function, but how significant are these variations and how can they be quantified to infer useful functional behavior? Here, we address this by quantifying the stoichiometry of proteins involved in the CME network. We find robust trends across three cell types in proteins that are sub- vs super-stoichiometric in terms of protein function, network topology (e.g.
