  • Confirmation of Pathogenic Mechanisms by SARS-Cov-2–Host
    Messina et al. Cell Death and Disease (2021) 12:788 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-021-03881-8 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access Looking for pathways related to COVID-19: confirmation of pathogenic mechanisms by SARS-CoV-2–host interactome Francesco Messina 1, Emanuela Giombini1, Chiara Montaldo1, Ashish Arunkumar Sharma2, Antonio Zoccoli3, Rafick-Pierre Sekaly2, Franco Locatelli4, Alimuddin Zumla5, Markus Maeurer6,7, Maria R. Capobianchi1, Francesco Nicola Lauria1 and Giuseppe Ippolito 1 Abstract In the last months, many studies have clearly described several mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection at cell and tissue level, but the mechanisms of interaction between host and SARS-CoV-2, determining the grade of COVID-19 severity, are still unknown. We provide a network analysis on protein–protein interactions (PPI) between viral and host proteins to better identify host biological responses, induced by both whole proteome of SARS-CoV-2 and specific viral proteins. A host-virus interactome was inferred, applying an explorative algorithm (Random Walk with Restart, RWR) triggered by 28 proteins of SARS-CoV-2. The analysis of PPI allowed to estimate the distribution of SARS-CoV-2 proteins in the host cell. Interactome built around one single viral protein allowed to define a different response, underlining as ORF8 and ORF3a modulated cardiovascular diseases and pro-inflammatory pathways, respectively. Finally, the network-based approach highlighted a possible direct action of ORF3a and NS7b to enhancing Bradykinin Storm. This network-based representation of SARS-CoV-2 infection could be a framework for pathogenic evaluation of specific 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; clinical outcomes.

However, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are—at most—moderately effective, indicating the need for new and different kinds of therapies to manage this disease. It has been proposed that the biologic properties of pancreatic cancer cells are finely tuned by the dynamic microenvironment, which includes extracellular matrix, cancer-associated cells, and diverse immune cells. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an essential role in communication between heterogeneous subpopulations of cells by transmitting multiplex biomolecules. EV-mediated cell–cell communication ultimately contributes to several aspects of pancreatic cancer, such as growth, angiogenesis, metastasis and therapeutic resistance.

H o l t2 & Konrad Noben-Trauth 1 Sensorineural hearing loss affects the quality of life and communication of millions of people, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we identify mutations in Gipc3 underlying progressive sensorineural hearing loss (age-related hearing loss 5, ahl5 ) and audiogenic seizures (juvenile audiogenic monogenic seizure 1, jams1 ) in mice and autosomal recessive deafness DFNB15 and DFNB95 in humans. Gipc3 localizes to inner ear sensory hair cells and spiral ganglion. A missense mutation in the PDZ domain has an attenuating effect on mechanotransduction and the acquisition of mature inner hair cell potassium currents. Magnitude and temporal progression of wave I amplitude of afferent neurons correlate with susceptibility and resistance to audiogenic seizures. The Gipc3 343A allele disrupts the structure of the stereocilia bundle and affects long-term function of auditory hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. Our study suggests a pivotal role of Gipc3 in acoustic signal acquisition and propagation in cochlear hair cells. 1 Section on Neurogenetics, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, National Institutes of Health , Rockville , Maryland 20850 , USA .

Received 24 October 2019; revised 24 June 2020; accepted 24 August 2020 Abstract. The broad spectrum of causal variants in the newly discovered GIPC3 gene is well reflected in worldwide studies. Except for one missense variant, none of the reported variants had reoccurred, thus reflecting the intragenic heterogeneity. We screened all the six coding exons of GIPC3 gene in a large cohort of 177 unrelated prelingual hearing impaired after excluding the common GJB2, GJB6 nuclear and A1555G mitochondrial variants. We observed a single homozygous pathogenic frameshift variant c.685dupG (p.A229GfsX10), accounting for a low incidence (0.56%) of GIPC3 variants in south Indian population. GIPC3 being a rare gene as a causative for deafness, the allelic spectra perhaps became much more diverse from population to population, thus resulting in a minimal recurrence of the variants in our study, that were reported by authors from other parts of the globe.

  • Network Mining Approach to Cancer Biomarker Discovery
    NETWORK MINING APPROACH TO CANCER BIOMARKER DISCOVERY THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Praneeth Uppalapati, B.E. Graduate Program in Computer Science and Engineering The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Dr. Kun Huang, Advisor Dr. Raghu Machiraju Copyright by Praneeth Uppalapati 2010 ABSTRACT With the rapid development of high throughput gene expression profiling technology, molecule profiling has become a powerful tool to characterize disease subtypes and discover gene signatures. Most existing gene signature discovery methods apply statistical methods to select genes whose expression values can differentiate different subject groups. However, a drawback of these approaches is that the selected genes are not functionally related and hence cannot reveal biological mechanism behind the difference in the patient groups. Gene co-expression network analysis can be used to mine functionally related sets of genes that can be marked as potential biomarkers through survival analysis. We present an efficient heuristic algorithm EigenCut that exploits the properties of gene co- expression networks to mine functionally related and dense modules of genes. We apply this method to brain tumor (Glioblastoma Multiforme) study to obtain functionally related clusters. If functional groups of genes with predictive power on patient prognosis can be identified, insights on the mechanisms related to metastasis in GBM can be obtained and better therapeutical plan can be developed. We predicted potential biomarkers by dividing the patients into two groups based on their expression profiles over the genes in the clusters and comparing their survival outcome through survival analysis.
