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.

  • Fine Mapping of the Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)3 Locus on Chromosome 5 Excludes VE-Cadherin-2, Sprouty4 And
    Govani and Shovlin Journal of Angiogenesis Research 2010, 2:15 http://www.jangiogenesis.com/content/2/1/15 JOURNAL OF ANGIOGENESIS RESEARCH RESEARCH Open Access Fine mapping of the hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT)3 locus on chromosome 5 excludes VE-Cadherin-2, Sprouty4 and other interval genes Fatima S Govani, Claire L Shovlin* Abstract Background: There is significant interest in new loci for the inherited condition hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) because the known disease genes encode proteins involved in vascular transforming growth factor (TGF)-b signalling pathways, and the disease phenotype appears to be unmasked or provoked by angiogenesis in man and animal models. In a previous study, we mapped a new locus for HHT (HHT3) to a 5.7 Mb region of chromosome 5. Some of the polymorphic markers used had been uninformative in key recombinant individuals, leaving two potentially excludable regions, one of which contained loci for attractive candidate genes encoding VE Cadherin-2, Sprouty4 and FGF1, proteins involved in angiogenesis. Methods: Extended analyses in the interval-defining pedigree were performed using informative genomic sequence variants identified during candidate gene sequencing. These variants were amplified by polymerase chain reaction; sequenced on an ABI 3730xl, and analysed using FinchTV V1.4.0 software. Results: Informative genomic sequence variants were used to construct haplotypes permitting more precise citing of recombination breakpoints. These reduced the uninformative centromeric region from 141.2-144 Mb to between 141.9-142.6 Mb, and the uninformative telomeric region from 145.2-146.9 Mb to between 146.1-146.4 Mb. Conclusions: The HHT3 interval on chromosome 5 was reduced to 4.5 Mb excluding 30% of the coding genes in the original HHT3 interval.

  • Nuclear PTEN Safeguards Pre-Mrna Splicing to Link Golgi Apparatus for Its Tumor Suppressive Role
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04760-1 OPEN Nuclear PTEN safeguards pre-mRNA splicing to link Golgi apparatus for its tumor suppressive role Shao-Ming Shen1, Yan Ji2, Cheng Zhang1, Shuang-Shu Dong2, Shuo Yang1, Zhong Xiong1, Meng-Kai Ge1, Yun Yu1, Li Xia1, Meng Guo1, Jin-Ke Cheng3, Jun-Ling Liu1,3, Jian-Xiu Yu1,3 & Guo-Qiang Chen1 Dysregulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing (AS) is closely associated with cancers. However, the relationships between the AS and classic oncogenes/tumor suppressors are 1234567890():,; largely unknown. Here we show that the deletion of tumor suppressor PTEN alters pre-mRNA splicing in a phosphatase-independent manner, and identify 262 PTEN-regulated AS events in 293T cells by RNA sequencing, which are associated with significant worse outcome of cancer patients. Based on these findings, we report that nuclear PTEN interacts with the splicing machinery, spliceosome, to regulate its assembly and pre-mRNA splicing. We also identify a new exon 2b in GOLGA2 transcript and the exon exclusion contributes to PTEN knockdown-induced tumorigenesis by promoting dramatic Golgi extension and secretion, and PTEN depletion significantly sensitizes cancer cells to secretion inhibitors brefeldin A and golgicide A. Our results suggest that Golgi secretion inhibitors alone or in combination with PI3K/Akt kinase inhibitors may be therapeutically useful for PTEN-deficient cancers. 1 Department of Pathophysiology, Key Laboratory of Cell Differentiation and Apoptosis of Chinese Ministry of Education, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (SJTU-SM), Shanghai 200025, China. 2 Institute of Health Sciences, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences of Chinese Academy of Sciences and SJTU-SM, Shanghai 200025, China.

  • Unique Networks: a Method to Identify Disease-Specific Regulatory Networks from Microarray Data
    UNIQUE NETWORKS: A METHOD TO IDENTIFY DISEASE-SPECIFIC REGULATORY NETWORKS FROM MICROARRAY DATA A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Valeria Bo Department of Computer Science December 2014 Abstract The survival of any organism is determined by the mechanisms triggered in response to the inputs received. Underlying mechanisms are described by graphical networks that can be inferred from different types of data such as microarrays. Deriving robust and reliable networks can be complicated due to the microarray structure of the data characterized by a discrepancy between the number of genes and samples of several orders of magnitude, bias and noise. Researchers overcome this problem by integrating independent data together and deriving the common mechanisms through consensus network analysis. Different conditions generate different inputs to the organism which reacts triggering different mechanisms with similarities and differences. A lot of effort has been spent into identifying the commonalities under different conditions. Highlighting similarities may overshadow the differences which often identify the main characteristics of the triggered mechanisms. In this thesis we introduce the concept of study-specific mechanism. We develop a pipeline to semi- automatically identify study-specific networks called unique-networks through a combination of consensus approach, graphical similarities and network analysis. The main pipeline called UNIP (Unique Networks Identification Pipeline) takes a set of independent studies, builds gene regulatory networks for each of them, calculates an adapta- tion of the sensitivity measure based on the networks graphical similarities, applies clustering to group the studies who generate the most similar networks into study-clusters and derives the consensus networks.

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

Puffenberger, PhD1 Purpose: We integrated whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Compared to trio analysis, “family” WES (average seven exomes chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) into a clinical workflow per proband) reduced filtered candidate variants from 22 ± 6to to serve an endogamous, uninsured, agrarian community. 5 ± 3 per proband. Nineteen (51%) alleles were de novo and 17 Methods: Seventy-nine probands (newborn to 49.8 years) who (46%) inherited; the latter added to a population-based diagnostic presented between 1998 and 2015 remained undiagnosed after panel. We found actionable secondary variants in 21 (4.2%) of 502 biochemical and molecular investigations. We generated WES data subjects, all of whom opted to be informed. for probands and family members and vetted variants through Conclusion: CMA and family-based WES streamline and rephenotyping, segregation analyses, and population studies. economize diagnosis of rare genetic disorders, accelerate novel Results: The most common presentation was neurological disease gene discovery, and create new opportunities for community-based (64%). Seven (9%) probands were diagnosed by CMA.
