Received: 7 October 2019; Accepted: 14 November 2019; Published: 19 November 2019 Abstract: Separation of germline cells from somatic lineages is one of the earliest decisions of embryogenesis. Genes expressed in germline cells include apoptotic and meiotic factors, which are not transcribed in the soma normally, but a number of testis-specific genes are active in numerous cancer types. During germ cell development, germ-cell-specific genes can be regulated by specific transcription factors, retinoic acid signaling and multimeric protein complexes. Non-canonical polycomb repressive complexes, like ncPRC1.6, play a critical role in the regulation of the activity of germ-cell-specific genes. RING1 and YY1 binding protein (RYBP) is one of the core members of the ncPRC1.6. Surprisingly, the role of Rybp in germ cell differentiation has not been defined yet. This review is focusing on the possible role of Rybp in this process. By analyzing whole-genome transcriptome alterations of the Rybp-/- embryonic stem (ES) cells and correlating this data with experimentally identified binding sites of ncPRC1.6 subunits and retinoic acid receptors in ES cells, we propose a model how germ-cell-specific transcription can be governed by an RYBP centered regulatory network, underlining the possible role of RYBP in germ cell differentiation and tumorigenesis.

Introduction: Germline, Soma and Embryonic Stem Cells Differentiation of germ cells has crucial importance in the survival of species. Production of healthy germ cells is the basis of fertility. Our life starts with the fusion of the female and the male germ cells, which together form the totipotent zygote. The myriads of cells of our body with different sizes, morphologies, and functions develops from this unique cell, which not only contains all genetic information, but also has the potential to use it all. This is why germ cells are generally considered to be totipotent, “the stem cells of the species” [1,2]. Germinal linage is often considered as unipotent, since the only possible fate of the male germinal lineage is to produce sperm, if controlled by the testicular microenvironment. However, embryonic primordial germ cells (PGCs) and spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) (Figure1) are able to change their fate and convert to pluripotent spontaneously in culture or during disease conditions like testicular carcinoma [3]. Germ cells express a series of pluripotency marker genes (e.g., Pou5f1/Oct4, Klf4, Nanog) and share certain characteristics of stem cells. As both pluripotency and germ cell marker genes are often upregulated in tumors [4] it is not surprising that germ cell fate determination attracts great attention.

    Analysis of Trans Esnps Infers Regulatory Network Architecture

    Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anat Kreimer All rights reserved ABSTRACT Analysis of trans eSNPs infers regulatory network architecture Anat Kreimer eSNPs are genetic variants associated with transcript expression levels. The characteristics of such variants highlight their importance and present a unique opportunity for studying gene regulation. eSNPs affect most genes and their cell type specificity can shed light on different processes that are activated in each cell. They can identify functional variants by connecting SNPs that are implicated in disease to a molecular mechanism. Examining eSNPs that are associated with distal genes can provide insights regarding the inference of regulatory networks but also presents challenges due to the high statistical burden of multiple testing. Such association studies allow: simultaneous investigation of many gene expression phenotypes without assuming any prior knowledge and identification of unknown regulators of gene expression while uncovering directionality. This thesis will focus on such distal eSNPs to map regulatory interactions between different loci and expose the architecture of the regulatory network defined by such interactions. We develop novel computational approaches and apply them to genetics-genomics data in human. We go beyond pairwise interactions to define network motifs, including regulatory modules and bi-fan structures, showing them to be prevalent in real data and exposing distinct attributes of such arrangements. We project eSNP associations onto a protein-protein interaction network to expose topological properties of eSNPs and their targets and highlight different modes of distal regulation.

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Major Depressive Disorders

    Exploring the Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Major Depressive Disorders

    E3S Web of Conferences 271, 03055 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202127103055 ICEPE 2021 Exploring the Relationship between Gut Microbiota and Major Depressive Disorders Catherine Tian1 1Shanghai American School, Shanghai, China Abstract. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric disorder accompanied with a high rate of suicide, morbidity and mortality. With the symptom of an increasing or decreasing appetite, there is a possibility that MDD may have certain connections with gut microbiota, the colonies of microbes which reside in the human digestive system. In recent years, more and more studies started to demonstrate the links between MDD and gut microbiota from animal disease models and human metabolism studies. However, this relationship is still largely understudied, but it is very innovative since functional dissection of this relationship would furnish a new train of thought for more effective treatment of MDD. In this study, by using multiple genetic analytic tools including Allen Brain Atlas, genetic function analytical tools, and MicrobiomeAnalyst, I explored the genes that shows both expression in the brain and the digestive system to affirm that there is a connection between gut microbiota and the MDD. My approach finally identified 7 MDD genes likely to be associated with gut microbiota, implicating 3 molecular pathways: (1) Wnt Signaling, (2) citric acid cycle in the aerobic respiration, and (3) extracellular exosome signaling. These findings may shed light on new directions to understand the mechanism of MDD, potentially facilitating the development of probiotics for better psychiatric disorder treatment. 1 Introduction 1.1 Major Depressive Disorder Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a mood disorder that will affect the mood, behavior and other physical parts.
