Transfusion, The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, Methods: In this study, we proposed the expression profiles of tRFs/tiRNAs in myeloma 410000, People’s Republic of China through RNA-sequencing in new diagnosed myeloma and healthy donors. The expression of selected tRFs/tiRNAs was further validated in clinical specimens by qPCR. Bioinformatic analysis was performed to predict their potential roles in multiple myeloma. Results: A total of 33 upregulated tRFs/tiRNAs and 22 downregulated tRFs/tiRNAs were identified. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis were performed to analyze the functions of one significantly up-regulated and one significantly down-regulated tRNA- derived fragments. tRFs/tiRNAs may be involved in MM initiation and progression. Conclusion: We concluded that tRFs/tiRNAs were dysregulated and could be potential biomarkers for multiple myeloma. Keywords: multiple myeloma, tRNA related fragments, tRNA halves, cancer initiation Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy and is characterized by the accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow.1 With the advent of new drugs, such as proteasome inhibitors and immu­ nomodulatory agents, the outcomes of patients with MM have steadily improved. Despite improvements in response and survival rates, MM remains a costly and incurable disease.2,3 Elucidating the mechanisms governing MM development is pivotal to optimizing the clinical efficacy and prolonging survival. Myeloma cells are dependent on multiple factors at all stages of tumor development and progres­ sion. Among these factors, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play critical roles.4,5 The largest portion of the mammalian genome is transcribed into RNA species with little or no coding potential, which are known as ncRNAs. An explosion of interest in RNA biology has identified a variety of regulatory functions for ncRNAs.6,7 With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing in recent years, a new class of small ncRNAs derived from tRNAs has attracted increasing attention from researchers.

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.

  • Inhibition of HIV-1 Gene Transcription by KAP1 in Myeloid Lineage
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Inhibition of HIV‑1 gene transcription by KAP1 in myeloid lineage Amina Ait‑Ammar1,2,3, Maxime Bellefroid3, Fadoua Daouad1, Valérie Martinelli4, Jeanne Van Assche1, Clémentine Wallet1, Anthony Rodari3, Marco De Rovere1, Birthe Fahrenkrog4, Christian Schwartz1, Carine Van Lint3,5*, Virginie Gautier2,5* & Olivier Rohr1,5* HIV‑1 latency generates reservoirs that prevent viral eradication by the current therapies. To fnd strategies toward an HIV cure, detailed understandings of the molecular mechanisms underlying establishment and persistence of the reservoirs are needed. The cellular transcription factor KAP1 is known as a potent repressor of gene transcription. Here we report that KAP1 represses HIV‑1 gene expression in myeloid cells including microglial cells, the major reservoir of the central nervous system. Mechanistically, KAP1 interacts and colocalizes with the viral transactivator Tat to promote its degradation via the proteasome pathway and repress HIV‑1 gene expression. In myeloid models of latent HIV‑1 infection, the depletion of KAP1 increased viral gene elongation and reactivated HIV‑1 expression. Bound to the latent HIV‑1 promoter, KAP1 associates and cooperates with CTIP2, a key epigenetic silencer of HIV‑1 expression in microglial cells. In addition, Tat and CTIP2 compete for KAP1 binding suggesting a dynamic modulation of the KAP1 cellular partners upon HIV‑1 infection. Altogether, our results suggest that KAP1 contributes to the establishment and the persistence of HIV‑1 latency in myeloid cells. Te pandemic of HIV-1 infections is a global health problem. Current cART (combination antiretroviral therapy) efciently suppresses viral expression below clinical detection levels but fails to eradicate latently infected res- ervoirs, the main obstacles toward an HIV cure.

  • Supplementary Tables 1-18 Contain the Predictive Signatures Determined for Each AML Subgroup Using Prediction Analysis for Microarrays (PAM)
    SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES Supplementary Tables 1-18 contain the predictive signatures determined for each AML subgroup using Prediction Analysis for Microarrays (PAM). Each row indicates probe set ID , gene symbol and abnormality. In addition, two scores are indicated, which represent the standardized centroids for each class for probe sets surviving at the chosen threshold. By definition, cases with the abnormality are coded as class "2" and cases without the abnormality as "1". Supplementary Table 19 contains class prediction data using Prediction Analysis for Microarrays within normal karyotype AML. Table 1.
