We evaluated variations in the ADH and ALDH genes in a large study investigating risk factors for substance use in a Native American population. -

Integral to this tool are the \seq2gene" and \gene2pathway" components in series that infer a quantitative pathway-level profile for each sample. The seq2gene function assigns phenotype-associated significance of genomic regions to gene-level scores, where the significance could be p-values of SNPs or point mutations, protein-binding affinity, or transcriptional expression level. The seq2gene function has the feasibility to assign non-exon regions to a range of neighboring genes besides the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding elements[2]. Then the gene2pathway summarizes gene-level measurements to pathway-level scores, comparing the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway with those outside a pathway. -

Abbreviations ERAD, ER-associated degradation; OST, oligosacharyltransferase; TM, transmembrane; UIM, ubiquitin-interacting motif. Abstract The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-resident intramembrane rhomboid protease RHBDL4 generates metastable protein fragments and together with the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery provides a clearance mechanism for aberrant and surplus proteins. However, the endogenous substrate spectrum and with that the role of RHBDL4 in physiological ERAD is mainly unknown. Here, we use a substrate trapping approach in combination with quantitative proteomics to identify physiological RHBDL4 substrates. This revealed oligosacharyltransferase (OST) complex subunits such as the catalytic active subunit STT3A as substrates for the RHBDL4-dependent ERAD pathway. RHBDL4-catalyzed cleavage inactivates OST subunits by triggering dislocation into the cytoplasm and subsequent proteasomal degradation. -

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. -
MUC4/MUC16/Muc20high Signature As a Marker of Poor Prognostic for Pancreatic, Colon and Stomach Cancers
Jonckheere and Van Seuningen J Transl Med (2018) 16:259 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12967-018-1632-2 Journal of Translational Medicine RESEARCH Open Access Integrative analysis of the cancer genome atlas and cancer cell lines encyclopedia large‑scale genomic databases: MUC4/MUC16/ MUC20 signature is associated with poor survival in human carcinomas Nicolas Jonckheere* and Isabelle Van Seuningen* Abstract Background: MUC4 is a membrane-bound mucin that promotes carcinogenetic progression and is often proposed as a promising biomarker for various carcinomas. In this manuscript, we analyzed large scale genomic datasets in order to evaluate MUC4 expression, identify genes that are correlated with MUC4 and propose new signatures as a prognostic marker of epithelial cancers. Methods: Using cBioportal or SurvExpress tools, we studied MUC4 expression in large-scale genomic public datasets of human cancer (the cancer genome atlas, TCGA) and cancer cell line encyclopedia (CCLE). Results: We identifed 187 co-expressed genes for which the expression is correlated with MUC4 expression. Gene ontology analysis showed they are notably involved in cell adhesion, cell–cell junctions, glycosylation and cell signal- ing. In addition, we showed that MUC4 expression is correlated with MUC16 and MUC20, two other membrane-bound mucins. We showed that MUC4 expression is associated with a poorer overall survival in TCGA cancers with diferent localizations including pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous adeno- carcinoma, skin cancer and stomach cancer. We showed that the combination of MUC4, MUC16 and MUC20 signature is associated with statistically signifcant reduced overall survival and increased hazard ratio in pancreatic, colon and stomach cancer. -
Genome-Wide Association Study for Circulating Fibroblast Growth Factor

Here we conducted a genome‑wide association study (GWAS) for circulating FGF21 and FGF23 concentrations to identify their genetic determinants. We enrolled 5,000 participants from Taiwan Biobank for this GWAS. After excluding participants with diabetes mellitus and quality control, association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with log‑transformed FGF21 and FGF23 serum concentrations adjusted for age, sex and principal components of ancestry were analyzed. A second model additionally adjusted for body mass index (BMI) and a third model additionally adjusted for BMI and estimated glomerular fltration rate (eGFR) were used. A total of 4,201 participants underwent GWAS analysis. rs67327215, located within RGS6 (a gene involved in fatty acid synthesis), and two other SNPs (rs12565114 and rs9520257, located between PHC2-ZSCAN20 and ARGLU1-FAM155A respectively) showed suggestive associations with serum FGF21 level (P = 6.66 × 10–7, 6.00 × 10–7 and 6.11 × 10–7 respectively). The SNPs rs17111495 and rs17843626 were signifcantly associated with FGF23 level, with the former near PCSK9 gene and the latter near HLA-DQA1 gene (P = 1.04 × 10–10 and 1.80 × 10–8 respectively). -

Macropinocytosis Requires Gal-3 in a Subset of Patient-Derived Glioblastoma Stem Cells

Sarkaria 7, Pierre-Yves Dietrich2 & Érika Cosset 2 Recently, we involved the carbohydrate-binding protein Galectin-3 (Gal-3) as a druggable target for KRAS-mutant-addicted lung and pancreatic cancers. Here, using glioblastoma patient-derived stem cells (GSCs), we identify and characterize a subset of Gal-3high glio- 1234567890():,; blastoma (GBM) tumors mainly within the mesenchymal subtype that are addicted to Gal-3- mediated macropinocytosis. Using both genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of Gal-3, we showed a significant decrease of GSC macropinocytosis activity, cell survival and invasion, in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that Gal-3 binds to RAB10, a member of the RAS superfamily of small GTPases, and β1 integrin, which are both required for macro- pinocytosis activity and cell survival. Finally, by defining a Gal-3/macropinocytosis molecular signature, we could predict sensitivity to this dependency pathway and provide proof-of- principle for innovative therapeutic strategies to exploit this Achilles’ heel for a significant and unique subset of GBM patients. 1 University Côte d’Azur, CNRS UMR7284, INSERM U1081, Institute for Research on Cancer and Aging (IRCAN), Nice, France. 2 Laboratory of Tumor Immunology, Department of Oncology, Center for Translational Research in Onco-Hematology, Swiss Cancer Center Léman (SCCL), Geneva University Hospitals, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland. -
Supplemental Information
Supplemental information Dissection of the genomic structure of the miR-183/96/182 gene. Previously, we showed that the miR-183/96/182 cluster is an intergenic miRNA cluster, located in a ~60-kb interval between the genes encoding nuclear respiratory factor-1 (Nrf1) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2H (Ube2h) on mouse chr6qA3.3 (1). To start to uncover the genomic structure of the miR- 183/96/182 gene, we first studied genomic features around miR-183/96/182 in the UCSC genome browser (http://genome.UCSC.edu/), and identified two CpG islands 3.4-6.5 kb 5’ of pre-miR-183, the most 5’ miRNA of the cluster (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1 and Seq. S1). A cDNA clone, AK044220, located at 3.2-4.6 kb 5’ to pre-miR-183, encompasses the second CpG island (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). We hypothesized that this cDNA clone was derived from 5’ exon(s) of the primary transcript of the miR-183/96/182 gene, as CpG islands are often associated with promoters (2). Supporting this hypothesis, multiple expressed sequences detected by gene-trap clones, including clone D016D06 (3, 4), were co-localized with the cDNA clone AK044220 (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). Clone D016D06, deposited by the German GeneTrap Consortium (GGTC) (http://tikus.gsf.de) (3, 4), was derived from insertion of a retroviral construct, rFlpROSAβgeo in 129S2 ES cells (Fig. 1A and C). The rFlpROSAβgeo construct carries a promoterless reporter gene, the β−geo cassette - an in-frame fusion of the β-galactosidase and neomycin resistance (Neor) gene (5), with a splicing acceptor (SA) immediately upstream, and a polyA signal downstream of the β−geo cassette (Fig.
