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. -

Abstract Influenza A viruses (IAV) are enveloped viruses carrying a single-stranded negative-sense RNA genome. Detection of host proteins having a relationship with IAV and revealing of the role of these proteins in the viral replication are of great importance in keeping IAV infections under control. Consequently, the importance of human DDX56, which is determined to be associated with a viral NS1 with a yeast two-hybrid assay, was investigated for IAV replication. The viral replication in knocked down cells for the DDX56 gene was evaluated. The NS1 was co-precipitated with the DDX56 protein in lysates of cells transiently expressing DDX56 and NS1 or infected with the viruses, showing that NS1 and DDX56 interact in mammalian cells. Viral NS1 showed a tendency to co-localize with DDX56 in the cells, transiently expressing both of these proteins, which supports the IP and two-hybrid assays results. The data obtained with in silico predictions supported the in vitro protein interaction results. The viral replication was significantly reduced in the DDX56-knockdown cells comparing with that in the control cells. In conclusion, human DDX56 protein interacts with the IAV NS1 protein in both yeast and mammalian cells and has a positive regulatory effect on IAV replication. -

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. -
Calreticulin—Multifunctional Chaperone in Immunogenic Cell Death: Potential Significance As a Prognostic Biomarker in Ovarian
cells Review Calreticulin—Multifunctional Chaperone in Immunogenic Cell Death: Potential Significance as a Prognostic Biomarker in Ovarian Cancer Patients Michal Kielbik *, Izabela Szulc-Kielbik and Magdalena Klink Institute of Medical Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences, 106 Lodowa Str., 93-232 Lodz, Poland; [email protected] (I.S.-K.); [email protected] (M.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-42-27-23-636 Abstract: Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a type of death, which has the hallmarks of necroptosis and apoptosis, and is best characterized in malignant diseases. Chemotherapeutics, radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy induce intracellular stress response pathways in tumor cells, leading to a secretion of various factors belonging to a family of damage-associated molecular patterns molecules, capable of inducing the adaptive immune response. One of them is calreticulin (CRT), an endoplasmic reticulum-associated chaperone. Its presence on the surface of dying tumor cells serves as an “eat me” signal for antigen presenting cells (APC). Engulfment of tumor cells by APCs results in the presentation of tumor’s antigens to cytotoxic T-cells and production of cytokines/chemokines, which activate immune cells responsible for tumor cells killing. Thus, the development of ICD and the expression of CRT can help standard therapy to eradicate tumor cells. Here, we review the physiological functions of CRT and its involvement in the ICD appearance in malignant dis- ease. Moreover, we also focus on the ability of various anti-cancer drugs to induce expression of surface CRT on ovarian cancer cells. The second aim of this work is to discuss and summarize the prognostic/predictive value of CRT in ovarian cancer patients. -

DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. -

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Integrating molecular phenotypes and gene expression to characterize DNA variants for cardiometabolic traits A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Human Genetics by Alejandra Rodriguez 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Integrating molecular phenotypes and gene expression to characterize DNA variants for cardiometabolic traits by Alejandra Rodriguez Doctor of Philosophy in Human Genetics University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Päivi Elisabeth Pajukanta, Chair In-depth understanding of cardiovascular disease etiology requires characterization of its genetic, environmental, and molecular architecture. Genetic architecture can be defined as the characteristics of genetic variation responsible for broad-sense phenotypic heritability. Massively parallel sequencing has generated thousands of genomic datasets in diverse human tissues. Integration of such datasets using data mining methods has been used to extract biological meaning and has significantly advanced our understanding of the genome-wide nucleotide sequence, its regulatory elements, and overall chromatin architecture. This dissertation presents integration of “omics” data sets to understand the genetic architecture and molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular lipid disorders (further reviewed in Chapter 1). In 2013, Daphna Weissglas-Volkov and coworkers1 published an association between the chromosome 18q11.2 genomic region and hypertriglyceridemia in a genome-wide -
Ck1δ Over-Expressing Mice Display ADHD-Like Behaviors, Frontostriatal Neuronal Abnormalities and Altered Expressions of ADHD-Candidate Genes
Molecular Psychiatry (2020) 25:3322–3336 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-018-0233-z ARTICLE CK1δ over-expressing mice display ADHD-like behaviors, frontostriatal neuronal abnormalities and altered expressions of ADHD-candidate genes 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 Mingming Zhou ● Jodi Gresack ● Jia Cheng ● Kunihiro Uryu ● Lars Brichta ● Paul Greengard ● Marc Flajolet Received: 8 November 2017 / Revised: 4 July 2018 / Accepted: 18 July 2018 / Published online: 19 October 2018 © Springer Nature Limited 2018 Abstract The cognitive mechanisms underlying attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a highly heritable disorder with an array of candidate genes and unclear genetic architecture, remain poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that mice overexpressing CK1δ (CK1δ OE) in the forebrain show hyperactivity and ADHD-like pharmacological responses to D- amphetamine. Here, we demonstrate that CK1δ OE mice exhibit impaired visual attention and a lack of D-amphetamine- induced place preference, indicating a disruption of the dopamine-dependent reward pathway. We also demonstrate the presence of abnormalities in the frontostriatal circuitry, differences in synaptic ultra-structures by electron microscopy, as 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: well as electrophysiological perturbations of both glutamatergic and GABAergic transmission, as observed by altered frequency and amplitude of mEPSCs and mIPSCs. Furthermore, gene expression profiling by next-generation sequencing alone, or in combination with bacTRAP technology to study specifically Drd1a versus Drd2 medium spiny neurons, revealed that developmental CK1δ OE alters transcriptional homeostasis in the striatum, including specific alterations in Drd1a versus Drd2 neurons. These results led us to perform a fine molecular characterization of targeted gene networks and pathway analysis. Importantly, a large fraction of 92 genes identified by GWAS studies as associated with ADHD in humans are significantly altered in our mouse model. -
