Mouse Rnf135 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Rnf135 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Rnf135 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Rnf135 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_028019 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000020707 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 11. 5 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 5 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000017839). Exon 2~4 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 2 starts from about 27.18% of the coding region. Exon 2~4 covers 30.54% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~7724 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

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.

We used gene-dose mapping with sequence-tagged site real-time PCR to locate the deletion end points, which were precisely characterized by means of long-range PCR and nucleotide sequencing. The deletion is located on chromosome arm 17q and is exactly 7 586 986 bp long. It encompasses the entire NF1 locus and about 100 other genes, including numerous chemokine genes, an attractive in silico-selected cerebrally expressed candidate gene (designated NUFIP2, for nuclear fragile X mental retardation protein interacting protein 2; NM_020772) and four microRNA genes. Interestingly, the centromeric breakpoint is located in intron 4 of the PIPOX gene (pipecolic acid oxidase; NM_016518) and the telomeric breakpoint in intron 5 of the GGNBP2 gene (gametogenetin binding protein 2; NM_024835) coding a transcription factor.

Read Full License Page 1/15 Abstract Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury always happened after Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft(OPCABG), and this can not be avoided altogether. In this study, we tried to detect potential genes of sevourane-induced myocardial energy metabolism in patients undergoing OPCABG using bioinformatics analysis. Methods: We download and analyze the gene expression prole data from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database using bioinformatics methods. We downloded the gene expression data from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database using bioinformatics methods. Gene Ontology(GO) functional annotation analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were used to analysis the screened differentially expressed genes(DEGs). Then, we established a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network to nd hub genes associated with myocardial energy metabolism. Results: Through PPI network, we nd ten hub genes, including JUN, EGR1, ATF3, FOSB, JUNB, DUSP1, EGR2, NR4A1, BTG2, NR4A2. Conclusions: In conclusion, the proteins encoded by EGR1ATF3c-FosBtg2JunBDUSP1NR4A1BTG2 and NR4A2 were related to cardiac function. ATF3, FOSB, JUNB, DUSP1, NR4A1, NR4A2 are related to apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. The protein encoded by BTG2 is related to hypertrophy.

Center for Translational Data Science, University of Chicago, Chicago IL 3. Department of Pathology and laboratory medicine, Univeristy of North Caroline School of Medcine, Chapel Hill, NC. * corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT In African Americans (AA), the proportion of West African ancestry (WAA) may explain the genetic drivers of health disparities in disease. Analysis of RNA sequencing data from sixty AA-derived primary hepatocytes identified 32 gene expression profiles associated with WAA (FDR <0.05) with enrichment in angiogenesis and inflammatory pathways (FDR <0.1). Association of DNA methylation to WAA identified 1037 differentially methylated regions (FDR <0.05), with hypomethylated genes enriched for drug response pathways. Within the PharmGKB pharmacogene, VDR, PTGIS, ALDH1A1, CYP2C19 and P2RY1 were associated with WAA (p <0.05) with replication of CYP2C19 and VDR in the GTEx liver cohort. For every 1% increment in WAA, P2RY1 gene expression increased by 1.6% and CYP2C19 gene expression decreased by 1.4%, suggesting effects on clopidogrel response and platelet aggregation. We conclude that WAA contributes to variablity in hepatic gene expression and DNA methylation with identified genes indicative of health disparities prevalent in AAs.

We investigated the evolutionary pressures acting on almost all human protein-coding genes (N=11,667; 1:1 orthologs in primates) based on their divergence from those of early hominins, such as Neanderthals, and non-human primates. We confirm that genes encoding brain-related proteins are among the most strongly conserved protein-coding genes in the human genome. Combining our evolutionary pressure metrics for the protein- coding genome with recent datasets, we found that this conservation applied to genes functionally associated with the synapse and expressed in brain structures such as the prefrontal cortex and the cerebellum. Conversely, several genes presenting signatures commonly associated with positive selection appear as causing brain diseases or conditions, such as micro/macrocephaly, Joubert syndrome, dyslexia, and autism.

Large rearrangements are present in 5–10% of affected patients, generally encompass NF1 neighboring genes, and are correlated with a more severe NF1 phenotype. Evident genotype–phenotype correlations and the importance of the co-deleted genes are difficult to establish. In our study we employed an evolutionary approach to provide further insights into the understanding of the fundamental function of genes that are co-deleted in subjects with NF1 microdeletions. Our goal was to access the ortholog and paralog relationship of these genes in primates and verify if purifying or positive selection are acting on these genes.

  • S Disease Biomarker Progression Profile Identified by Transcriptome
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2015) 23, 1349–1356 & 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/15 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Huntington’s disease biomarker progression profile identified by transcriptome sequencing in peripheral blood Anastasios Mastrokolias1, Yavuz Ariyurek2, Jelle J Goeman3,4, Erik van Duijn5,6, Raymund AC Roos7, Roos C van der Mast5, GertJan B van Ommen1, Johan T den Dunnen1,2, Peter AC ’t Hoen1 and Willeke MC van Roon-Mom*,1 With several therapeutic approaches in development for Huntington’s disease, there is a need for easily accessible biomarkers to monitor disease progression and therapy response. We performed next-generation sequencing-based transcriptome analysis of total RNA from peripheral blood of 91 mutation carriers (27 presymptomatic and, 64 symptomatic) and 33 controls. Transcriptome analysis by DeepSAGE identified 167 genes significantly associated with clinical total motor score in Huntington’s disease patients. Relative to previous studies, this yielded novel genes and confirmed previously identified genes, such as H2AFY, an overlap in results that has proven difficult in the past. Pathway analysis showed enrichment of genes of the immune system and target genes of miRNAs, which are downregulated in Huntington’s disease models. Using a highly parallelized microfluidics array chip (Fluidigm), we validated 12 of the top 20 significant genes in our discovery cohort and 7 in a second independent cohort. The five genes (PROK2, ZNF238, AQP9, CYSTM1 and ANXA3) that were validated independently in both cohorts present a candidate biomarker panel for stage determination and therapeutic readout in Huntington’s disease. Finally we suggest a first empiric formula predicting total motor score from the expression levels of our biomarker panel.

China Received February 24, 2020; Accepted October 13, 2020 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2021.9673 Abstract. Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the prevalent in aging males, usually starting at 50‑61 years of well‑known urological neoplasms common in males with an age (1), and causing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), increasing number of associated deaths in aging males. It such as urine flow blockage as a result of the urethra being causes uncomfortable urinary symptoms, including urine flow compressed by the enlarged gland. Other potential complica‑ blockage, and may cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney prob‑ tions may include bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems (2). lems. The histopathological and clinical knowledge regarding Most males have continued prostate growth throughout their BPH is limited. In the present study, an in silico approach was life (2) After the age of 30 years, males exhibit a 1% drop in applied that uses genome‑scale microarray expression data to testosterone production per year and an increase in the level of discover a wide range of protein‑protein interactions in addition dihydrotestosterone, possibly due to the age‑related increase to focusing on specific genes responsible for BPH to develop in 5α reductase (SRD5A2) activity. This rising level of dihy‑ prognostic biomarkers.
