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).

Existing methods utilize genotypic data and summary statistics to identify putative disease genes, but cannot distinguish pleiotropy from causal mediation and are limited by overly strong assumptions about the data. To overcome these limitations, we develop Causal Multivariate Mediation within Extended Linkage disequilibrium (CaMMEL), a novel Bayesian inference framework to jointly model multiple medi- ated and unmediated effects relying only on summary statistics. We show in simulation that CaMMEL accurately distinguishes between mediating and pleiotropic genes unlike existing methods. We applied CaMMEL to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and found 206 causal genes in sub-threshold loci (p < 10−4).

This is, in particular, a frequent mechanism in the oncogenic conversion of protein kinases. Gene fusion was the first mechanism identified for the oncogenic activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase RET (REarranged during Transfection), initially discovered in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). More recently, the advent of highly sensitive massive parallel (next generation sequencing, NGS) sequencing of tumor DNA or cell-free (cfDNA) circulating tumor DNA, allowed for the detection of RET fusions in many other solid and hematopoietic malignancies. This review summarizes the role of RET fusions in the pathogenesis of human cancer. Keywords: kinase; tyrosine kinase inhibitor; targeted therapy; thyroid cancer 1. The RET Receptor RET (REarranged during Transfection) was initially isolated as a rearranged oncoprotein upon the transfection of a human lymphoma DNA [1].

Whole Exome Sequencing was performed then followed by Sanger confirmation, identified a K101N mutation in COX4I1, segregating with the disease. This nuclear gene encodes the common isoform of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunit 4 (COX 4-1), an integral regulatory part of COX (respiratory chain complex IV) the terminal electron acceptor of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The patient’s fibroblasts disclosed decreased COX activity, impaired ATP production, elevated ROS production, decreased expression of COX4I1 mRNA and undetectable (COX4) protein. COX activity and ATP production were restored by lentiviral transfection with the wild-type gene. Our results demonstrate the first human mutation in the COX4I1 gene linked to diseases and confirm its role in the pathogenesis. Thus COX4I1 mutations should be considered in any patient with features suggestive of this diagnosis.

Fulton Hy-Line (United States) Jacqueline Smith University of Edinburgh David W. Burt University of Edinburgh Morris Soller Hebrew University of Jerusalem Research Article Keywords: Chicken, long-range linkage disequilibrium, QTL, F6, LD blocks Posted Date: June 17th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-598396/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/23 Abstract Background Appreciable Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) is commonly found between pairs of loci close to one another, decreasing rapidly with distance between the loci. This provides the basis studies to map Quantitative Trait Loci Regions (QTLRs), where it is custom to assume that the closest sites to a signicant markers are the prime candidate to be the causative mutation. Nevertheless, Long-Range LD (LRLD) can also be found among well-separated sites. LD blocks are runs of genomic sites all having appreciable LD with one another. High LD and LRLD are often separated by genomic sites with which they have practically no LD. Thus, not only can LD be found among distant loci, but also its pattern may be complex, comprised of fragmented blocks. Here, chicken LRLD and LD blocks, and their relationship with previously described Marek’s Disease (MD) QTLRs, were studied in an F6 population from a full-sib advanced intercross line, and in eight commercial pure layer lines.

Abstract: The oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane secures production of the majority of ATP in mammalian organisms. Individual OXPHOS complexes form supramolecular assemblies termed supercomplexes. The complexes are linked not only by their function but also by interdependency of individual complex biogenesis or maintenance. For instance, cytochrome c oxidase (cIV) or cytochrome bc1 complex (cIII) deficiencies affect the level of fully assembled NADH dehydrogenase (cI) in monomeric as well as supercomplex forms. It was hypothesized that cI is affected at the level of enzyme assembly as well as at the level of cI stability and maintenance.

Lynn, , , Ajith Vengellur, Yogesh Saini, , Elizabeth A. Grier, † § † § ‡ Shelagh M. Ferguson-Miller, , and John J. LaPres*, , , † ‡ § Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Center for Integrative Toxicology, and Center for Mitochondrial Science and Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824-1319, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF1) is a stress-responsive nuclear transcription factor that is activated with a decrease in oxygen availability. HIF1 regulates the expression of genes involved in a cell’s adaptation to hypoxic stress, including those with mitochondrial specific function. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the role of HIF1 in mitochondrial homeostasis, we studied the link between hypoxia, HIF1 transactivation, and electron transport chain (ETC) function. We established immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) for HIF1α wild-type (WT) and null cells and tested whether HIF1α regulates mitochondrial respiration by modulating gene expressions of nuclear-encoded ETC components. High- throughput quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to screen nuclear- encoded mitochondrial genes related to the ETC to identify those whose regulation was HIF1α- dependent. Our data suggest that HIF1α regulates transcription of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) heart/muscle isoform 7a1 (Cox7a1) under hypoxia, where it is induced 1.5−2.5-fold, whereas Cox4i2 hypoxic induction was HIF1α-independent. We propose that adaptation to hypoxic stress of CcO as the main cellular oxygen consumer is mediated by induction of hypoxia-sensitive tissue-specific isoforms.
