Pentosan Polysulfate Binds to STRO
Wu et al. Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2017) 8:278 DOI 10.1186/s13287-017-0723-y RESEARCH Open Access Pentosan polysulfate binds to STRO-1+ mesenchymal progenitor cells, is internalized, and modifies gene expression: a novel approach of pre-programing stem cells for therapeutic application requiring their chondrogenesis Jiehua Wu1,7, Susan Shimmon1,8, Sharon Paton2, Christopher Daly3,4,5, Tony Goldschlager3,4,5, Stan Gronthos6, Andrew C. W. Zannettino2 and Peter Ghosh1,5* Abstract Background: The pharmaceutical agent pentosan polysulfate (PPS) is known to induce proliferation and chondrogenesis of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) in vitro and in vivo. However, the mechanism(s) of action of PPS in mediating these effects remains unresolved. In the present report we address this issue by investigating the binding and uptake of PPS by MPCs and monitoring gene expression and proteoglycan biosynthesis before and after the cells had been exposed to limited concentrations of PPS and then re-established in culture in the absence of the drug (MPC priming). Methods: Immuno-selected STRO-1+ mesenchymal progenitor stem cells (MPCs) were prepared from human bone marrow aspirates and established in culture. The kinetics of uptake, shedding, and internalization of PPS by MPCs was determined by monitoring the concentration-dependent loss of PPS media concentrations using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the uptake of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled PPS by MPCs. The proliferation of MPCs, following pre-incubation and removal of PPS (priming), was assessed using the Wst-8 assay 35 method, and proteoglycan synthesis was determined by the incorporation of SO4 into their sulphated glycosaminoglycans. -
Cardiac Signaling Genes Exhibit Unexpected Sequence Diversity in Sporadic Cardiomyopathy, Revealing HSPB7 Polymorphisms Associated with Disease Scot J

Sporadic heart failure is thought to have a genetic component, but the contributing genetic events are poorly defined. Here, we used ultra-high-throughput resequencing of pooled DNAs to identify SNPs in 4 biologically relevant cardiac signaling genes, and then examined the association between allelic variants and incidence of sporadic heart failure in 2 large Caucasian populations. Resequencing of DNA pools, each containing DNA from approximately 100 individuals, was rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive for identifying common and rare SNPs; it also had striking advantages in time and cost efficiencies over individual resequencing using conventional Sanger methods. In 2,606 individuals examined, we identified a total of 129 separate SNPs in the 4 cardiac signaling genes, including 23 nonsynonymous SNPs that we believe to be novel. Comparison of allele frequencies between 625 Caucasian nonaffected controls and 1,117 Caucasian individuals with systolic heart failure revealed 12 SNPs in the cardiovascular heat shock protein gene HSPB7 with greater proportional representation in the systolic heart failure group; all 12 SNPs were confirmed in an independent replication study. -

Breast Cancer Type Classification Using Machine Learning
Journal of Personalized Medicine Article Breast Cancer Type Classification Using Machine Learning Jiande Wu and Chindo Hicks * Department of Genetics, School of Medicine, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, 533 Bolivar, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-504-568-2657 Abstract: Background: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease defined by molecular types and subtypes. Advances in genomic research have enabled use of precision medicine in clinical man- agement of breast cancer. A critical unmet medical need is distinguishing triple negative breast cancer, the most aggressive and lethal form of breast cancer, from non-triple negative breast cancer. Here we propose use of a machine learning (ML) approach for classification of triple negative breast cancer and non-triple negative breast cancer patients using gene expression data. Methods: We performed analysis of RNA-Sequence data from 110 triple negative and 992 non-triple negative breast cancer tumor samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas to select the features (genes) used in the development and validation of the classification models. We evaluated four different classification models including Support Vector Machines, K-nearest neighbor, Naïve Bayes and Decision tree using features selected at different threshold levels to train the models for classifying the two types of breast cancer. For performance evaluation and validation, the proposed methods were applied to independent gene expression datasets. Results: Among the four ML algorithms evaluated, the Support Vector Machine algorithm was able to classify breast cancer more accurately into triple negative and non-triple negative breast cancer and had less misclassification errors than the other three algorithms evaluated. -

Simple Summary: In this study, we investigated the expression pattern and prognostic significance of the heat shock proteins (HSPs) family members in breast cancer (BC) by using several bioinfor- matics tools and proteomics investigations. Our results demonstrated that, collectively, HSPs were deregulated in BC, acting as both oncogene and onco-suppressor genes. In particular, two different HSP-clusters were significantly associated with a poor or good prognosis. Interestingly, the HSPs deregulation impacted gene expression and miRNAs regulation that, in turn, affected important bio- logical pathways involved in cell cycle, DNA replication, and receptors-mediated signaling. Finally, the proteomic identification of several HSPs members and isoforms revealed much more complexity Citation: Buttacavoli, M.; Di Cara, of HSPs roles in BC and showed that their expression is quite variable among patients. In conclusion, G.; D’Amico, C.; Geraci, F.; we elaborated two panels of HSPs that could be further explored as potential biomarkers for BC Pucci-Minafra, I.; Feo, S.; Cancemi, P. -

Tubular P53 Regulates Multiple Genes to Mediate AKI
BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Tubular p53 Regulates Multiple Genes to Mediate AKI † † † † † Dongshan Zhang,* Yu Liu,* Qingqing Wei, Yuqing Huo, Kebin Liu, Fuyou Liu,* and † Zheng Dong* *Departments of Emergency Medicine and Nephrology, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China; and †Department of Cellular Biology and Anatomy, Vascular Biology Center and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Georgia Regents University and Charlie Norwood Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Augusta, Georgia ABSTRACT A pathogenic role of p53 in AKI was suggested a decade ago but remains controversial. Indeed, recent work indicates that inhibition of p53 protects against ischemic AKI in rats but exacerbates AKI in mice. One intriguing possibility is that p53 has cell type-specific roles in AKI. To determine the role of tubular p53, we generated two conditional gene knockout mouse models, in which p53 is specifically ablated from proximal tubules or other tubular segments, including distal tubules, loops of Henle, and medullary collecting ducts. Proximal tubule p53 knockout (PT-p53-KO) mice were resistant to ischemic and cisplatin nephrotoxic AKI, which was indicated by the analysis of renal function, histology, apoptosis, and inflammation. However, other tubular p53 knockout (OT-p53-KO) mice were sensitive to AKI. Mechanis- tically, AKI associated with the upregulation of several known p53 target genes, including Bax, p53- upregulated modulator of apoptosis-a, p21, and Siva, and this association was attenuated in PT-p53-KO mice. In global expression analysis, ischemic AKI induced 371 genes in wild-type kidney cortical tissues, but the induction of 31 of these genes was abrogated in PT-p53-KO tissues. -

McDermott1,2,3,5,* ABSTRACT 2000; Prado et al., 2009). In the ubiquitin proteasome pathway, the Mycocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) and activator protein 1 (AP-1) forkhead box protein (FoxO) family of transcription factors transcription complexes have been individually implicated in activates muscle atrophy through induction of two E3 ubiquitin myogenesis, but their genetic interaction has not previously been ligases, MAFbx/atrogin-1 and MuRF1 (also known as TRIM63) addressed. Using MEF2A, c-Jun and Fra-1 chromatin (Sandri et al., 2004). Current treatment programs for muscle immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data and predicted AP- atrophy include activating the serine/threonine protein kinase (Akt) 1 consensus motifs, we identified putative common MEF2 and AP-1 pathway, which induces muscle hypertrophy by inactivating FoxO target genes, several of which are implicated in regulating the actin proteins (Stitt et al., 2004). However, Akt can be inhibited by β β cytoskeleton. Because muscle atrophy results in remodelling or myostatin, a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF- ) degradation of the actin cytoskeleton, we characterized the superfamily (Trendelenburg et al., 2009), superseding Akt expression of putative MEF2 and AP-1 target genes (Dstn, Flnc, activation as a treatment option.
