In previous research, we identified 13 genomic regions that were significantly associated with the serum IgY level or antibody responses to sheep red-blood-cells, but the specific mutations in these regions have not been reported. Therefore, we screened for variations in these regions in White Leghorn and Beijing-You chickens with high and low IgY. Our study identified 35,154 mutations and 829 Indels which were associated with IgY levels in both lines. -

Thesis Biochemistry Department of Biosciences University of Kuopio June 2008 Abstract The expression of the human apolipoprotein genes and their regulation by PPARs. UNIVERSITY OF KUOPIO, the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Curriculum of Biochemistry USKI Juuso Oskari Thesis for Master of Science degree Supervisors Prof. Carsten Carlberg, Ph.D. Merja Heinäniemi, Ph.D. June 2008 Keywords: nuclear receptors; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor; PPAR response element; apolipoprotein; lipid metabolism; high density lipoprotein; low density lipoprotein. Lipids are any fat-soluble, naturally-occurring molecules and one of their main biological functions is energy storage. Lipoproteins carry hydrophobic lipids in the water and salt-based blood environment for processing and energy supply in liver and other organs. In this study, the genomic area around the apolipoprotein genes was scanned in silico for PPAR response elements (PPREs) using the in vitro data-based computer program. Several new putative REs were found in surroundings of multiple lipoprotein genes. The responsiveness of those apolipoprotein genes to the PPAR ligands GW501516, rosiglitazone and GW7647 in the HepG2, HEK293 and THP-1 cell lines were tested with real-time PCR. The APOA1, APOA2, APOB, APOD, APOE, APOF, APOL1, APOL3, APOL5 and APOL6 genes were found to be regulated by PPARs in direct or secondary manners. Those results provide new insights in the understanding of lipid metabolism and so many lifestyle diseases like atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. -

Integral to this tool are the \seq2gene" and \gene2pathway" components in series that infer a quantitative pathway-level profile for each sample. The seq2gene function assigns phenotype-associated significance of genomic regions to gene-level scores, where the significance could be p-values of SNPs or point mutations, protein-binding affinity, or transcriptional expression level. The seq2gene function has the feasibility to assign non-exon regions to a range of neighboring genes besides the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding elements[2]. Then the gene2pathway summarizes gene-level measurements to pathway-level scores, comparing the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway with those outside a pathway. -

Defining Functional Interactions During Biogenesis of Epithelial Junctions
ARTICLE Received 11 Dec 2015 | Accepted 13 Oct 2016 | Published 6 Dec 2016 | Updated 5 Jan 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms13542 OPEN Defining functional interactions during biogenesis of epithelial junctions J.C. Erasmus1,*, S. Bruche1,*,w, L. Pizarro1,2,*, N. Maimari1,3,*, T. Poggioli1,w, C. Tomlinson4,J.Lees5, I. Zalivina1,w, A. Wheeler1,w, A. Alberts6, A. Russo2 & V.M.M. Braga1 In spite of extensive recent progress, a comprehensive understanding of how actin cytoskeleton remodelling supports stable junctions remains to be established. Here we design a platform that integrates actin functions with optimized phenotypic clustering and identify new cytoskeletal proteins, their functional hierarchy and pathways that modulate E-cadherin adhesion. Depletion of EEF1A, an actin bundling protein, increases E-cadherin levels at junctions without a corresponding reinforcement of cell–cell contacts. This unexpected result reflects a more dynamic and mobile junctional actin in EEF1A-depleted cells. A partner for EEF1A in cadherin contact maintenance is the formin DIAPH2, which interacts with EEF1A. In contrast, depletion of either the endocytic regulator TRIP10 or the Rho GTPase activator VAV2 reduces E-cadherin levels at junctions. TRIP10 binds to and requires VAV2 function for its junctional localization. Overall, we present new conceptual insights on junction stabilization, which integrate known and novel pathways with impact for epithelial morphogenesis, homeostasis and diseases. 1 National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 2 Computing Department, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 3 Bioengineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 4 Department of Surgery & Cancer, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. -

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. -

The encoded protein likely promotes hydrolysis of ARF1-bound GTP, which is required for the dissociation of coat proteins from Golgi- derived membranes and vesicles. Dissociation of the coat proteins is a prerequisite for the fusion of these vesicles with target compartments. The activity of this protein is sensitive to phospholipids. This gene was originally known as ARFGAP1, but that is now the name of a related but different gene.

The Role of High Density Lipoprotein Compositional and Functional Heterogeneity in Metabolic Disease
The role of high density lipoprotein compositional and functional heterogeneity in metabolic disease By Scott M. Gordon B.S. State University of New York College at Brockport October, 2012 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the Pathobiology and Molecular Medicine graduate program W. Sean Davidson Ph.D. (Chair) David Askew Ph.D. Professor and Thesis Chair Professor Department of Pathology Department of Pathology University of Cincinnati University of Cincinnati Francis McCormack M.D. Gangani Silva Ph.D. Professor Assistant Professor Department of Pathology Department of Pathology University of Cincinnati University of Cincinnati Jason Lu Ph.D. Assistant Professor Division of Bioinformatics Cincinnati Children’s Hospital i Abstract High density lipoproteins (HDL) are complexes of phospholipid, cholesterol and protein that circulate in the blood. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a strong inverse correlation between plasma levels of HDL associated cholesterol (HDL-C) and the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Clinically, HDL-C is often measured and used in combination with low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to assess overall cardiovascular health. HDL have been shown to possess a wide variety of functional attributes which likely contribute to this protection including anti-inflammatory and anti- oxidative properties and the ability to remove excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues and deliver it to the liver for excretion, a process known as reverse cholesterol transport. This functional diversity might be explained by the complexity of HDL composition. Recent studies have taken advantage of advances in mass spectrometry technologies to characterize the proteome of total HDL finding that over 50 different proteins can associate with these particles. -

The genetic contribution to human T2D and related metabolic disorders is evident, and mostly follows polygenic inheritance. The TALLYHO/ JngJ (TH) mice are a polygenic model for T2D characterized by obesity, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose uptake and tolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. -
