    Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on May 28, 2019 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press First Glimpses/Report Comparative Genome Mapping in the Sequence-based Era: Early Experience with Human Chromosome 7 James W. Thomas,1 Tyrone J. Summers,1 Shih-Queen Lee-Lin,1 Valerie V. Braden Maduro,1 Jacquelyn R. Idol,1 Stephen D. Mastrian,1 Joseph F. Ryan,1 D. Curtis Jamison,1 and Eric D. Green1,2 1Genome Technology Branch, National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 USA The success of the ongoing Human Genome Project has resulted in accelerated plans for completing the human genome sequence and the earlier-than-anticipated initiation of efforts to sequence the mouse genome. As a complement to these efforts, we are utilizing the available human sequence to refine human-mouse comparative maps and to assemble sequence-ready mouse physical maps. Here we describe how the first glimpses of genomic sequence from human chromosome 7 are directly facilitating these activities. Specifically, we are actively enhancing the available human-mouse comparative map by analyzing human chromosome 7 sequence for the presence of orthologs of mapped mouse genes. Such orthologs can then be precisely positioned relative to mapped human STSs and other genes. The chromosome 7 sequence generated to date has allowed us to more than double the number of genes that can be placed on the comparative map. The latter effort reveals that human chromosome 7 is represented by at least 20 orthologous segments of DNA in the mouse genome. A second component of our program involves systematically analyzing the evolving human chromosome 7 sequence for the presence of matching mouse genes and expressed-sequence tags (ESTs).

Here, we report zonation- dependent transcriptomic changes in aged mouse brain endothelial cells (ECs), which pro- minently implicate altered immune/cytokine signaling in ECs of all vascular segments, and functional changes impacting the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and glucose/energy metabolism especially in capillary ECs (capECs). An overrepresentation of Alzheimer disease (AD) GWAS genes is evident among the human orthologs of the differentially expressed genes of aged capECs, while comparative analysis revealed a subset of concordantly downregulated, functionally important genes in human AD brains. Treatment with exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, strongly reverses aged mouse brain EC transcriptomic changes and BBB leakage, with associated attenuation of microglial priming. We thus revealed tran- scriptomic alterations underlying brain EC ageing that are complex yet pharmacologically reversible.

Following a survey of the human mutation database, we have identified an additional mechanism that we term “structural capacitance,” which results in the de novo generation of microstructure in previously disordered regions. We suggest that the potential for structural capacitance confers select proteins with the capacity to evolve over rapid timescales, facilitating saltatory evolution as opposed to gradualistic canonical Darwinian mechanisms.

  • Meta-Analysis of Gene Signatures and Key Pathways Indicates
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Meta‑analysis of gene signatures and key pathways indicates suppression of JNK pathway as a regulator of chemo‑resistance in AML Parastoo Modarres1, Farzaneh Mohamadi Farsani1,3, Amir Abas Nekouie2 & Sadeq Vallian1* The pathways and robust deregulated gene signatures involved in AML chemo‑resistance are not fully understood. Multiple subgroups of AMLs which are under treatment of various regimens seem to have similar regulatory gene(s) or pathway(s) related to their chemo‑resistance phenotype. In this study using gene set enrichment approach, deregulated genes and pathways associated with relapse after chemotherapy were investigated in AML samples. Five AML libraries compiled from GEO and ArrayExpress repositories were used to identify signifcantly diferentially expressed genes between chemo‑resistance and chemo‑sensitive groups. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis of diferentially expressed genes was performed to assess molecular mechanisms related to AML chemotherapeutic resistance. A total of 34 genes selected to be diferentially expressed in the chemo‑ resistance compared to the chemo‑sensitive group. Among the genes selected, c-Jun, AKT3, ARAP3, GABBR1, PELI2 and SORT1 are involved in neurotrophin, estrogen, cAMP and Toll‑like receptor signaling pathways. All these pathways are located upstream and regulate JNK signaling pathway which functions as a key regulator of cellular apoptosis. Our expression data are in favor of suppression of JNK pathway, which could induce pro‑apoptotic gene expression as well as down regulation of survival factors, introducing this pathway as a key regulator of drug‑resistance development in AML. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most aggressive, life-threatening hematological malignancies char- acterized by uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal diferentiated and nonfunctional myeloid precursor cells1.

  • Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors: Regulators of Rho Gtpase Activity in Development and Disease
    Oncogene (2014) 33, 4021–4035 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/14 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors: regulators of Rho GTPase activity in development and disease DR Cook1, KL Rossman2,3 and CJ Der1,2,3 The aberrant activity of Ras homologous (Rho) family small GTPases (20 human members) has been implicated in cancer and other human diseases. However, in contrast to the direct mutational activation of Ras found in cancer and developmental disorders, Rho GTPases are activated most commonly in disease by indirect mechanisms. One prevalent mechanism involves aberrant Rho activation via the deregulated expression and/or activity of Rho family guanine nucleotide exchange factors (RhoGEFs). RhoGEFs promote formation of the active GTP-bound state of Rho GTPases. The largest family of RhoGEFs is comprised of the Dbl family RhoGEFs with 70 human members. The multitude of RhoGEFs that activate a single Rho GTPase reflects the very specific role of each RhoGEF in controlling distinct signaling mechanisms involved in Rho activation. In this review, we summarize the role of Dbl RhoGEFs in development and disease, with a focus on Ect2 (epithelial cell transforming squence 2), Tiam1 (T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1), Vav and P-Rex1/2 (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 (phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate)-dependent Rac exchanger).
