Mouse Shc2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Shc2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Shc2 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Shc2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001024539 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000020312 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 10. 13 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 12 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000020564). Exon 3~4 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Shc2 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-382A7 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display sensory nerve defects related to nociception. Exon 3 starts from about 27.57% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3~4 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1136 bp, and the size of intron 4 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 2574 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~806 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Information derived from other sources and collaborative work have been indicated appropriately. Signature: Date: 09/06/2016 3 Acknowledgements: When I first joined the Laboratory of Neurogenetics (LNG), NIA, NIH as a summer intern in 2008, I had minimal experience working in a laboratory and was both excited and anxious at the prospect of it. From my very first day, Dr. Andrew Singleton was incredibly welcoming and introduced me to my first mentor, Dr. Javier Simon- Sanchez. Within just ten weeks working in the lab, both Dr. Singleton and Dr. Simon- Sanchez taught me the fundamental skills in an encouraging and supportive environment. I quickly got to know others in the lab, some of whom are still here today, and I sincerely appreciate their help with my assimilation into the LNG. After returning for an additional summer and one year as an IRTA postbac, I was honored to pursue a PhD in such an intellectually stimulating and comfortable environment. I am so grateful that Dr. Singleton has been such a wonderful mentor, as he is not only a brilliant scientist, but also extremely personable and approachable. If I inquire about meeting with him, he always manages to make time in his busy schedule and provides excellent guidance and mentorship.

Of particular interest is the study of complex interactions between molecular genetic factors, electrophysiological properties of the nervous system, and the behavioral characteristics of people. The neurobiological understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders requires not only the identification of genes that play a role in the molecular mechanisms of the occurrence and course of diseases, but also the understanding of complex interactions that occur between these genes. A systematic study of such interactions obviously contributes to the development of new methods of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disorders, as the orientation to allele variants of individual loci is not reliable enough, because the literature describes a number of genes, the same alleles of which can be associated with different, sometimes extremely different variants of phenotypic traits, depending on the genetic background, of their carriers, habitat, and other factors.

Edith Sturm and Nadia Stefanova* Division of Neurobiology, Department of Neurology, Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck A-6020, Austria Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, late-onset and fatal neurodegenerative disease including multisystem neurodegeneration and the formation of α-synuclein containing oligodendroglial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs), which present the hallmark of the disease. MSA is considered to be a sporadic disease; however certain genetic aspects have been studied during the last years in order to shed light on the largely unknown etiology and pathogenesis of the disease. Epidemiological studies focused on the possible impact of environmental factors on MSA disease development. This article gives an overview on the findings from genetic and epigenetic studies on MSA and discusses the role of genetic or epigenetic factors in disease pathogenesis. Key words: Multiple system atrophy, α-synuclein, neurodegeneration, genetics, epigenetics INTRODUCTION is characterized by selective wide spread neuronal cell loss, gliosis and oligodendroglial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) affecting In 1969 Graham and Oppenheimer suggested the term several structures of the central nervous system [3, 6, 7]. “multiple system atrophy” (MSA) to describe and combine Neuronal loss in MSA affects the striatum, substantia nigra a set of different disorders, including olivopontocerebellar pars compacta (SNpc), cerebellum, pons, inferior olives, central atrophy (OPCA), striatonigral degeneration (SND) and Shy- autonomic nuclei and the intermediolateral column of the spinal Drager syndrome [1].

Zhangb, Gregory Dussora, Theodore J. Pricea,* from https://journals.lww.com/pain Abstract Molecular neurobiological insight into human nervous tissues is needed to generate next-generation therapeutics for neurological disorders such as chronic pain. We obtained human dorsal root ganglia (hDRG) samples from organ donors and performed RNA- sequencing (RNA-seq) to study the hDRG transcriptional landscape, systematically comparing it with publicly available data from by BhDMf5ePHKav1zEoum1tQfN4a+kJLhEZgbsIHo4XMi0hCywCX1AWnYQp/IlQrHD3mH5nK33R3Qh4f27oe7zFUUf7ZAUK5aCsyqAeT54jiDxP7ZjumT3TrA== a variety of human and orthologous mouse tissues, including mouse DRG (mDRG). We characterized the hDRG transcriptional profile in terms of tissue-restricted gene coexpression patterns and putative transcriptional regulators, and formulated an information-theoretic framework to quantify DRG enrichment. Relevant gene families and pathways were also analyzed, including transcription factors, G-protein-coupled receptors, and ion channels. Our analyses reveal an hDRG-enriched protein-coding gene set (;140), some of which have not been described in the context of DRG or pain signaling. Most of these show conserved enrichment in mDRG and were mined for known drug–gene product interactions. Conserved enrichment of the vast majority of transcription factors suggests that the mDRG is a faithful model system for studying hDRG, because of evolutionarily conserved regulatory programs.

Here we demonstrate that mouse pancreas size and islet β cell function are controlled by the ATP-dependent Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling coregulatory complex that physically associates with Pdx1, a diabetes- linked transcription factor essential to pancreatic morphogenesis and adult islet-cell function and maintenance. Early embryonic deletion of just the Swi/Snf Brg1 ATPase subunit reduced multipotent pancreatic progenitor cell proliferation and resulted in pancreas hypoplasia. In contrast, removal of both Swi/Snf ATPase subunits, Brg1 and Brm, was necessary to compromise adult islet β cell activity, which included whole animal glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia and impaired insulin secretion. Notably, lineage-tracing analysis revealed Swi/Snf-deficient β cells lost the ability to produce the mRNAs for insulin and other key metabolic genes without effecting the expression of many essential islet-enriched transcription factors.

  • Deep Transcriptomic Analysis of Black Rockfish (Sebastes Schlegelii)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Deep Transcriptomic Analysis of Black Rockfsh (Sebastes schlegelii) Provides New Insights on Received: 19 October 2017 Accepted: 27 March 2018 Responses to Acute Temperature Published: xx xx xxxx Stress Likang Lyu, Haishen Wen, Yun Li, Jifang Li, Ji Zhao, Simin Zhang, Min Song & Xiaojie Wang In the present study, we conducted an RNA-Seq analysis to characterize the genes and pathways involved in acute thermal and cold stress responses in the liver of black rockfsh, a viviparous teleost that has the ability to cope with a wide range of temperature changes. A total of 584 annotated diferentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identifed in all three comparisons (HT vs NT, HT vs LT and LT vs NT). Based on an enrichment analysis, DEGs with a potential role in stress accommodation were classifed into several categories, including protein folding, metabolism, immune response, signal transduction, molecule transport, membrane, and cell proliferation/apoptosis. Considering that thermal stress has a greater efect than cold stress in black rockfsh, 24 shared DEGs in the intersection of the HT vs LT and HT vs NT groups were enriched in 2 oxidation-related gene ontology (GO) terms. Nine important heat-stress-reducing pathways were signifcantly identifed and classifed into 3 classes: immune and infectious diseases, organismal immune system and endocrine system. Eight DEGs (early growth response protein 1, bile salt export pump, abcb11, hsp70a, rtp3, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin d(3) 24-hydroxylase, apoa4, transcription factor jun-b-like and an uncharacterized gene) were observed among all three comparisons, strongly implying their potentially important roles in temperature stress responses.

Relevant mouse models are powerful for untangling this problem because such heterogeneity can be controlled. Inbred Chaos3 mice exhibit high levels of genomic instability leading to mammary tumors that have tumor gene expression profiles closely resembling mature human mammary luminal cell signatures. We genomically characterized mammary adenocarcinomas from these mice to identify cancer-causing genomic events that overlap common alterations in human breast cancer. Chaos3 tumors underwent recurrent copy number alterations (CNAs), particularly deletion of the RAS inhibitor Neurofibromin 1 (Nf1) in nearly all cases. These overlap with human CNAs including NF1, which is deleted or mutated in 27.7% of all breast carcinomas. Chaos3 mammary tumor cells exhibit RAS hyperactivation and increased sensitivity to RAS pathway inhibitors. These results indicate that spontaneous NF1 loss can drive breast cancer. This should be informative for treatment of the significant fraction of patients whose tumors bear NF1 mutations.
