Although mesenchymal stem cell- (MSC-) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are as effective as MSCs in the suppression of allergic airway inflammation, few studies have explored the molecular mechanisms of MSC-derived EVs in allergic airway diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the lung associated with the suppression of allergic airway inflammation using adipose stem cell- (ASC-) derived EVs.

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).

One of them are the paraoxonase (PON) enzymes. The PONs genetic cluster is made up of three members (PON1, PON2, PON3) that share a structural homology, located adjacent to chromosome seven. The most studied enzyme is PON1, which is associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL), having paraoxonase, arylesterase and lactonase activities. Due to these characteristics, the enzyme PON1 has been associated with the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Here we update the knowledge about the association of PON enzymes and their polymorphisms and the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Keywords: paraoxonases; oxidative stress; multiple sclerosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; Alzhei- mer’s disease; Parkinson’s disease 1.

    COMPUTATIONAL PREDICTION AND EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF NOVEL MOUSE IMPRINTED GENES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Chelsea Marie McLean August 2009 © 2009 Chelsea Marie McLean COMPUTATIONAL PREDICTION AND EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF NOVEL MOUSE IMPRINTED GENES Chelsea Marie McLean, Ph.D. Cornell University 2009 Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation and covalent modifications to histone tails, are major contributors to the regulation of gene expression. These changes are reversible, yet can be stably inherited, and may last for multiple generations without change to the underlying DNA sequence. Genomic imprinting results in expression from one of the two parental alleles and is one example of epigenetic control of gene expression. So far, 60 to 100 imprinted genes have been identified in the human and mouse genomes, respectively. Identification of additional imprinted genes has become increasingly important with the realization that imprinting defects are associated with complex disorders ranging from obesity to diabetes and behavioral disorders. Despite the importance imprinted genes play in human health, few studies have undertaken genome-wide searches for new imprinted genes. These have used empirical approaches, with some success. However, computational prediction of novel imprinted genes has recently come to the forefront. I have developed generalized linear models using data on a variety of sequence and epigenetic features within a training set of known imprinted genes. The resulting models were used to predict novel imprinted genes in the mouse genome. After imposing a stringency threshold, I compiled an initial candidate list of 155 genes.

Wilkerson1,5, Nisarg Desai1, Michael B. Major1,6, D. Neil Hayes1,7, Ian J. Davis1,5,8, and Bernard Weissman1,9 Abstract SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes regulate critical cellular processes, including cell-cycle control, programmed cell death, differentiation, genomic instability, and DNA repair. Inactivation of this class of chromatin remodeling complex has been associated with a variety of malignancies, including lung, ovarian, renal, liver, and pediatric cancers. In particular, approximately 10% of primary human lung non–small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) display attenuations in the BRG1 ATPase, a core factor in SWI/SNF complexes. To evaluate the role of BRG1 attenuation in NSCLC development, we examined the effect of BRG1 silencing in primary and established human NSCLC cells. BRG1 loss altered cellular morphology and increased tumorigenic potential. Gene expression analyses showed reduced expression of genes known to be associated with progression of human NSCLC. We demonstrated that BRG1 losses in NSCLC cells were associated with variations in chromatin structure, including differences in nucleosome positioning and occupancy surrounding transcriptional start sites of disease-relevant genes. Our results offer direct evidence that BRG1 attenuation contributes to NSCLC aggressiveness by altering nucleosome positioning at a wide range of genes, including key cancer-associated genes.
