Mouse Plekho1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Plekho1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Plekho1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Plekho1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_023320 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000015745 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 3. 6 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 6 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000015889). Exon 1~6 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit age-dependent increase in bone volume and increased osteoblast activity. Exon 1 starts from about 0.08% of the coding region. Exon 1~6 covers 100.0% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~6864 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common involved in the serine/threonine-protein kinase hippo and JNK type of kidney cancer. By analysing The Cancer Genome signalling pathways. Together, the results of the present study Atlas (TCGA) database, 16 genes were identified to be suggest that PLEKHO1 may contribute to the development consistently highly expressed in RCC tissues compared with of RCC, and therefore, further study is needed to explore its the matched para-tumour tissues. Using a high-throughput cell potential as a therapeutic target. viability screening method, it was found that downregulation of only two genes significantly inhibited the viability of Introduction 786-O cells. Among the two genes, pleckstrin homology domain containing O1 (PLEKHO1) has never been studied in In 2018, kidney cancer is estimated to be diagnosed in RCC, to the best of our knowledge, and its expression level nearly 403,200 people worldwide and to lead to almost was shown to be associated with the prognosis of patients with 175,000 cancer-related deaths according to the latest data RCC in TCGA dataset.

ABSTRACT Pleckstrin homology (PH) domains are presumed to bind phosphoinositides (PIPs), but specific interaction with and regulation by PIPs for most PH domain-containing proteins are unclear. Here we employed a single-molecule pulldown assay to study interactions of lipid vesicles with full-length proteins in mammalian whole cell lysates.

Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center, New York, New York ABSTRACT The Connectivity Map database contains microarray signatures of gene expression derived from approximately 6000 experiments that examined the effects of approximately 1300 single drugs on several human cancer cell lines. We used these data to prioritize pairs of drugs expected to reverse the changes in gene expression observed in the kidneys of a mouse model of HIV-associated nephropathy (Tg26 mice). We predicted that the combination of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor would maximally reverse the disease-associated expression of genes in the kidneys of these mice. Testing the combination of these inhibitors in Tg26 mice revealed an additive renoprotective effect, as suggested by reduction of proteinuria, improvement of renal function, and attenuation of kidney injury. Furthermore, we observed the predicted treatment-associated changes in the expression of selected genes and pathway components. In summary, these data suggest that the combination of an ACE inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor could have therapeutic potential for various kidney diseases.

  • Analyzing and Validating the Prognostic Value and Mechanism Of
    Wang et al. J Transl Med (2020) 18:324 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12967-020-02491-w Journal of Translational Medicine RESEARCH Open Access Analyzing and validating the prognostic value and mechanism of colon cancer immune microenvironment Xinyi Wang1,2†, Jinzhong Duanmu1†, Xiaorui Fu1,2, Taiyuan Li1 and Qunguang Jiang1* Abstract Background: Colon cancer is a disease with high malignancy and incidence in the world. Tumor immune micro- environment (TIM) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) have been proved to play crucial roles in predicting clinical outcomes and therapeutic efcacy, but the correlation between them and the underlying mechanism were not completely understood in colon cancer. Methods: In this study, we used Single-Sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) and unsupervised consensus clustering analysis to divide patients from the TCGA cohort into three immune subgroups. Then we validated their diferences in immune cell infltration, overall survival outcomes, clinical phenotypes and expression levels of HLA and checkpoint genes by Mann–Whitney tests. We performed weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) to obtain immunity-related module and hub genes. Then we explored the underlying mechanism of hub genes by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and gene set evaluation analysis (GSVA). Finally, we gave an overall view of gene variants and verifed the correlation between TIM and TMB by comparing microsatellite instability (MSI) and gene mutations among three immune subgroups. Results: The colon cancer patients were clustered into low immunity, median immunity and high immunity groups. The median immunity group had a favorable survival probability compared with that of the low and high immunity groups.

However, linking common variants to genes that are causal for CKD etiology remains challenging. By adapting self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing, we evaluated the effect of genetic variation on DNA regulatory elements (DREs). Variants in linkage with the CKD-associated single-nucleotide polymorphism rs11959928 were shown to affect DRE function, illustrating that genes regulated by DREs colocalizing with CKD-associated variation can be dysregulated and therefore, considered as CKD candidate genes. To identify target genes of these DREs, we used circular chro- mosome conformation capture (4C) sequencing on glomerular endothelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells. Our 4C analyses revealed interactions of CKD-associated susceptibility regions with the transcriptional start sites of 304 target genes. Overlap with multiple databases confirmed that many of these target genes are involved in kidney homeostasis.
