Next, traffic is the Rab proteins family (Lamb et al., 2016). Rab GTPases LE potentiate their hydrolytic competence by fusing with specifically localize to different intracellular compartments, lysosomes (Pillay et al., 2002) resulting in the degradation regulating vesicle formation and sorting, as well as transport of their contents, providing nutrients and key factors to along the cytoskeletal network.

Notably, endosomes play a role in signal transduction is associated to multiple effectors controlling membrane fusion by serving as signaling platforms either for surface activated and trafficking. Rab interaction with the membrane fusion receptors like Toll-like receptors and epidermal growth factor complexes and cytoskeleton regulators is therefore crucial for receptor or metabolic sensors such as mechanistic target cellular functions, including endocytosis and autophagy (Chen of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1; Argüello et al., 2016). and Wandinger-Ness, 2001; Bruce et al., 2010; Geng et al., 2010; Often they promote the degradation of their targets, leading Thomas and Fromme, 2020; Yuan and Song, 2020). to signal termination (Chung et al., 2010).

This is, in particular, a frequent mechanism in the oncogenic conversion of protein kinases. Gene fusion was the first mechanism identified for the oncogenic activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase RET (REarranged during Transfection), initially discovered in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). More recently, the advent of highly sensitive massive parallel (next generation sequencing, NGS) sequencing of tumor DNA or cell-free (cfDNA) circulating tumor DNA, allowed for the detection of RET fusions in many other solid and hematopoietic malignancies. This review summarizes the role of RET fusions in the pathogenesis of human cancer. Keywords: kinase; tyrosine kinase inhibitor; targeted therapy; thyroid cancer 1. The RET Receptor RET (REarranged during Transfection) was initially isolated as a rearranged oncoprotein upon the transfection of a human lymphoma DNA [1].

Professor of Biology Chair of Committee Ma, Hong Professor of Biology Altman, Naomi Professor of Statistics dePamphilis, Claude W Professor of Biology Dissertation Adviser Douglas Cavener Professor of Biology Head of Department of Biology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the application of evolutionary theory and methods in understanding the plastid genome of nonphotosynthetic parasitic plants and role of mutations in tumor proliferations. We explore plastid genome evolution in parasitic angiosperms lineages that have given up the primary function of plastid genome – photosynthesis. Genome structure, gene contents, and evolutionary dynamics were analyzed and compared in both independent and related parasitic plant lineages. Our studies revealed striking similarities in changes of gene content and evolutionary dynamics with the loss of photosynthetic ability in independent nonphotosynthetic plant lineages. Evolutionary analysis suggests accelerated evolution in the plastid genome of the nonphotosynthetic plants. This thesis also explores the application of phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis in cancer biology. Although cancer has often been likened to Darwinian process, very little application of molecular evolutionary analysis has been seen in cancer biology research. In our study, phylogenetic approaches were used to explore the relationship of several hundred established cancer cell lines based on multiple sequence alignments constructed with variant codons and residues across 494 and 523 genes.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

We hypothesized DNA methylation is altered in skeletal muscle in response to either insulin or glucose exposure. We performed a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis in muscle from healthy men before and after insulin exposure. DNA methylation of selected genes was determined in muscle from healthy and type 2 diabetic men before and after a glucose tolerance test. Insulin altered DNA methylation in the 3’UTR of the calcium pump ATP2A3 gene. Insulin increased DNA methylation in the gene body of DAPK3, a gene involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy.

  • Quantitative Proteomics Analysis of Glioblastoma Cell Lines After Lncrna HULC Silencing Shan Ye1, Jing Wu2,3, Yiran Wang1, Yuchen Hu1, Tiantian Yin1 & Jie He1,2,3*
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Quantitative proteomics analysis of glioblastoma cell lines after lncRNA HULC silencing Shan Ye1, Jing Wu2,3, Yiran Wang1, Yuchen Hu1, Tiantian Yin1 & Jie He1,2,3* Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a life-threatening brain tumor. This study aimed to identify potential targets of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HULC that promoted the progression of GBM. Two U87 cell lines were constructed: HULC-siRNA and negative control (NC). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the transfection efciency of HULC silencing vector. Mass spectrometry (MS) was used to generate proteomic profles for the two cell lines. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed to distinguish HULC-related genes and pathway mapping. Colony formation, Transwell, and wound- healing assays were used to investigate the functional efects of HULC knockdown on GBM. We identifed 112 up-regulated proteins and 24 down-regulated proteins from a total of 4360 quantifed proteins. GO enrichment illustrated that these proteins were mainly involved in organelle structure, catalysis, cell movement, and material metabolism. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that some of these proteins were signifcantly enriched in tight junction, metabolic pathways, and arachidonic acid metabolism. In vitro experiments demonstrated that HULC knockdown inhibited GBM cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Our KEGG analyses revealed that PLA2G4A was a shared protein in several enriched pathways. HULC silencing signifcantly down-regulated the expression of PLA2G4A. Knockdown of HULC changed the proteomic characteristics of GBM and altered the behaviors of GBM cells. Specifcally, we identifed PLA2G4A as an HULC target in GBM.

The comprehensive genetic alterations underlying the pathogenesis of SS are unknown. Here we integrate whole-genome sequencing (n ¼ 6), whole-exome sequencing (n ¼ 66) and array comparative genomic hybridization-based copy- number analysis (n ¼ 80) of primary SS samples. We identify previously unknown recurrent loss-of-function aberrations targeting members of the chromatin remodelling/histone mod- ification and trithorax families, including ARID1A in which functional loss from nonsense and frameshift mutations and/or targeted deletions is observed in 40.3% of SS genomes. We also identify recurrent gain-of-function mutations targeting PLCG1 (9%) and JAK1, JAK3, STAT3 and STAT5B (JAK/STAT total B11%). Functional studies reveal sensitivity of JAK1-mutated primary SS cells to JAK inhibitor treatment. These results highlight the complex genomic landscape of SS and a role for inhibition of JAK/STAT pathways for the treatment of SS. 1 Department of Pathology, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA.
