The Role of the Mtor Pathway in Developmental Reprogramming Of
THE ROLE OF THE MTOR PATHWAY IN DEVELOPMENTAL REPROGRAMMING OF HEPATIC LIPID METABOLISM AND THE HEPATIC TRANSCRIPTOME AFTER EXPOSURE TO 2,2',4,4'- TETRABROMODIPHENYL ETHER (BDE-47) An Honors Thesis Presented By JOSEPH PAUL MCGAUNN Approved as to style and content by: ________________________________________________________** Alexander Suvorov 05/18/20 10:40 ** Chair ________________________________________________________** Laura V Danai 05/18/20 10:51 ** Committee Member ________________________________________________________** Scott C Garman 05/18/20 10:57 ** Honors Program Director ABSTRACT An emerging hypothesis links the epidemic of metabolic diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes with chemical exposures during development. Evidence from our lab and others suggests that developmental exposure to environmentally prevalent flame-retardant BDE47 may permanently reprogram hepatic lipid metabolism, resulting in an NAFLD-like phenotype. Additionally, we have demonstrated that BDE-47 alters the activity of both mTOR complexes (mTORC1 and 2) in hepatocytes. The mTOR pathway integrates environmental information from different signaling pathways, and regulates key cellular functions such as lipid metabolism, innate immunity, and ribosome biogenesis. Thus, we hypothesized that the developmental effects of BDE-47 on liver lipid metabolism are mTOR-dependent. To assess this, we generated mice with liver-specific deletions of mTORC1 or mTORC2 and exposed these mice and their respective controls perinatally to -

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. -

Here we show the deletion of Zbtb16 in mice leads to social impairment, repetitive behaviors, risk- taking behaviors, and cognitive impairment. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the behavioral phenotypes, we conducted histological analyses and observed impairments in thinning of neocortical layer 6 (L6) and a reduction of TBR1+ neurons in Zbtb16 KO mice. Furthermore, we found increased dendritic spines and microglia, as well as developmental defects in oligodendrocytes and neocortical myelination in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of Zbtb16 KO mice. Using genomics approaches, we identified the Zbtb16 transcriptome that includes genes involved in neocortical maturation such as neurogenesis and myelination, and both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) pathobiology. Co-expression networks further identified Zbtb16-correlated modules that are unique to ASD or SCZ, respectively. Our study provides insight into the novel roles of ZBTB16 in behaviors and neocortical development related to the disorders. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction identified as a causative mutation for skeletal defects, ZBTB16 (PLZF) encodes a transcription factor, which genital hypoplasia, and mental retardation (SGYMR)6,7. -

Patterns of DNA methylation on the human X chromosome and use in analyzing X-chromosome inactivation by Allison Marie Cotton B.Sc., The University of Guelph, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Medical Genetics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2012 © Allison Marie Cotton, 2012 Abstract The process of X-chromosome inactivation achieves dosage compensation between mammalian males and females. In females one X chromosome is transcriptionally silenced through a variety of epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation. Most X-linked genes are subject to X-chromosome inactivation and only expressed from the active X chromosome. On the inactive X chromosome, the CpG island promoters of genes subject to X-chromosome inactivation are methylated in their promoter regions, while genes which escape from X- chromosome inactivation have unmethylated CpG island promoters on both the active and inactive X chromosomes. The first objective of this thesis was to determine if the DNA methylation of CpG island promoters could be used to accurately predict X chromosome inactivation status. The second objective was to use DNA methylation to predict X-chromosome inactivation status in a variety of tissues. A comparison of blood, muscle, kidney and neural tissues revealed tissue-specific X-chromosome inactivation, in which 12% of genes escaped from X-chromosome inactivation in some, but not all, tissues. X-linked DNA methylation analysis of placental tissues predicted four times higher escape from X-chromosome inactivation than in any other tissue. Despite the hypomethylation of repetitive elements on both the X chromosome and the autosomes, no changes were detected in the frequency or intensity of placental Cot-1 holes. -

Xu et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2020) 13:38 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13039-020-00502-5 RESEARCH Open Access Clinical application of chromosomal microarray analysis for fetuses with craniofacial malformations Chenyang Xu1†, Yanbao Xiang1†, Xueqin Xu1, Lili Zhou1, Huanzheng Li1, Xueqin Dong1 and Shaohua Tang1,2* Abstract Background: The potential correlations between chromosomal abnormalities and craniofacial malformations (CFMs) remain a challenge in prenatal diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate 118 fetuses with CFMs by applying chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and G-banded chromosome analysis. Results: Of the 118 cases in this study, 39.8% were isolated CFMs (47/118) whereas 60.2% were non-isolated CFMs (71/118). The detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities in non-isolated CFM fetuses was significantly higher than that in isolated CFM fetuses (26/71 vs. 7/47, p = 0.01). Compared to the 16 fetuses (16/104; 15.4%) with pathogenic chromosomal abnormalities detected by karyotype analysis, CMA identified a total of 33 fetuses (33/118; 28.0%) with clinically significant findings. These 33 fetuses included cases with aneuploidy abnormalities (14/118; 11.9%), microdeletion/microduplication syndromes (9/118; 7.6%), and other pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) only (10/118; 8.5%).We further explored the CNV/phenotype correlation and found a series of clear or suspected dosage-sensitive CFM genes including TBX1, MAPK1, PCYT1A, DLG1, LHX1, SHH, SF3B4, FOXC1, ZIC2, CREBBP, SNRPB, and CSNK2A1. Conclusion: These findings enrich our understanding of the potential causative CNVs and genes in CFMs. Identification of the genetic basis of CFMs contributes to our understanding of their pathogenesis and allows detailed genetic counselling. -
The Role of Uncoupling Protein 3 in Human Physiology
The role of uncoupling protein 3 in human physiology W. Timothy Garvey J Clin Invest. 2003;111(4):438-441. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI17835. Commentary Obesity is simply understood as an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure in favor of weight accretion. However, the human biological interface between food consumption and energy dissipation results in broad individual differences in eating behavior, physical activity, and efficiency of fuel storage and metabolism. In particular, the basal metabolic rate, which accounts for the greatest portion of overall energy expenditure, can vary almost twofold among individuals. Classically, three major biochemical systems are believed to contribute to basal thermogenesis: futile cycles, Na+/K+ATPase activity, and mitochondrial proton leak. The latter is the most important quantitative contributor and can explain up to 50% of the basal metabolic rate (1). The molecular basis of mitochondrial proton leak is unclear, despite its importance in the understanding of energy balance and its potential as a therapeutic target for obesity treatment. The article by Hesselink and colleagues in this issue of the JCI (2) addresses whether uncoupling protein 3 contributes to mitochondrial proton leak in human skeletal muscle. Mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation The oxidation of fatty acids and pyruvate takes place in mitochondria, where energy is converted into ATP for use in cellular processes. Reducing equivalents are extracted from substrates and sequentially passed from electron donors (reductants) to acceptors (oxidants) along the mitochondrial respiratory chain to molecular oxygen.
