  • Biomarker Discovery for Chronic Liver Diseases by Multi-Omics
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Biomarker discovery for chronic liver diseases by multi-omics – a preclinical case study Daniel Veyel1, Kathrin Wenger1, Andre Broermann2, Tom Bretschneider1, Andreas H. Luippold1, Bartlomiej Krawczyk1, Wolfgang Rist 1* & Eric Simon3* Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a major cause of liver fbrosis with increasing prevalence worldwide. Currently there are no approved drugs available. The development of new therapies is difcult as diagnosis and staging requires biopsies. Consequently, predictive plasma biomarkers would be useful for drug development. Here we present a multi-omics approach to characterize the molecular pathophysiology and to identify new plasma biomarkers in a choline-defcient L-amino acid-defned diet rat NASH model. We analyzed liver samples by RNA-Seq and proteomics, revealing disease relevant signatures and a high correlation between mRNA and protein changes. Comparison to human data showed an overlap of infammatory, metabolic, and developmental pathways. Using proteomics analysis of plasma we identifed mainly secreted proteins that correlate with liver RNA and protein levels. We developed a multi-dimensional attribute ranking approach integrating multi-omics data with liver histology and prior knowledge uncovering known human markers, but also novel candidates. Using regression analysis, we show that the top-ranked markers were highly predictive for fbrosis in our model and hence can serve as preclinical plasma biomarkers. Our approach presented here illustrates the power of multi-omics analyses combined with plasma proteomics and is readily applicable to human biomarker discovery. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the major liver disease in western countries and is ofen associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes.

Integral to this tool are the \seq2gene" and \gene2pathway" components in series that infer a quantitative pathway-level profile for each sample. The seq2gene function assigns phenotype-associated significance of genomic regions to gene-level scores, where the significance could be p-values of SNPs or point mutations, protein-binding affinity, or transcriptional expression level. The seq2gene function has the feasibility to assign non-exon regions to a range of neighboring genes besides the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding elements[2]. Then the gene2pathway summarizes gene-level measurements to pathway-level scores, comparing the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway with those outside a pathway.

  • Selective Induction of Apoptosis in HIV-Infected Macrophages
    Selective Induction of Apoptosis in HIV-infected Macrophages by Simon Xin Min Dong A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Microbiology and Immunology Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Immunology Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa © Simon Xin Min Dong, Ottawa, Canada, 2020 Abstract The eradication of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) from infected patients is one of the major medical problems of our time, primarily due to HIV reservoir formation. Macrophages play important roles in HIV reservoir formation: once infected, they shield HIV against host anti-viral immune responses and anti-retroviral therapies, help viral spread and establish infection in anatomically protected sites. Thus, it is imperative to selectively induce the apoptosis of HIV-infected macrophages for a complete cure of this disease. I hypothesize that HIV infection dysregulates the expression of some specific genes, which is essential to the survival of infected host cells, and these genes can be targeted to selectively induce the apoptosis of HIV-infected macrophages. My objective is to identify the genes that can be targeted to eradicate HIV reservoir in macrophages, and to briefly elucidate the mechanism of cell death induced by targeting one of the identified genes. A four-step strategy was proposed to reach the goal. First, 90k shRNA lentivirus pool technology and microarray analysis were employed in a genome-wide screen of genes and 28 promising genes were found. Second, siRNA silencing was applied to validate these genes with 2 different HIV-1 viruses; as a result, 4 genes, Cox7a2, Znf484, Cdk2, and Cstf2t, were identified to be novel gene targets.

Key words: SVA, trans-mobilisation, behaviour, brain, evolution, psychiatric disorders 1 Abstract The hominid-specific non-LTR retrotransposon termed SINE–VNTR–Alu (SVA) is the youngest of the transposable elements in the human genome. The propagation of the most ancient SVA type A took place about 13.5 Myrs ago, and the youngest SVA types appeared in the human genome after the chimpanzee divergence. Functional enrichment analysis of genes associated with SVA insertions demonstrated their strong link to multiple ontological categories attributed to brain function and the disorders. SVA types that expanded their presence in the human genome at different stages of hominoid life history were also associated with progressively evolving behavioural features that indicated a potential impact of SVA propagation on a cognitive ability of a modern human.

  • Multi-Targeted Mechanisms Underlying the Endothelial Protective Effects of the Diabetic-Safe Sweetener Erythritol

Endothelial cell dysfunction is a starting point for pathogenesis of vascular complications in diabetes. We previously showed the polyol erythritol to be a hydroxyl radical scavenger preventing endothelial cell dysfunction onset in diabetic rats. To unravel mechanisms, other than scavenging of radicals, by which erythritol mediates this protective effect, we evaluated effects of erythritol in endothelial cells exposed to normal (7 mM) and high glucose (30 mM) or diabetic stressors (e.g. SIN-1) using targeted and transcriptomic approaches. This study demonstrates that erythritol (i.e. under non-diabetic conditions) has minimal effects on endothelial cells. However, under hyperglycemic conditions erythritol protected endothelial cells against cell death induced by diabetic stressors (i.e. high glucose and peroxynitrite). Also a number of harmful effects caused by high glucose, e.g. increased nitric oxide release, are reversed. Additionally, total transcriptome analysis indicated that biological processes which are differentially regulated due to high glucose are corrected by erythritol. We conclude that erythritol protects endothelial cells during high glucose conditions via effects on multiple targets.

While ovulation rate is the major determinant of 12 litter size in sheep, interactions among the conceptus, corpus luteum and endometrium are essential for 13 pregnancy success. Here, we performed a comparative transcriptome study by sequencing total mRNA from 14 corpus luteum (CL) collected during the preimplantation stage of pregnancy in Finnsheep, Texel and F1 15 crosses, and mapping the RNA-Seq reads to the latest Rambouillet reference genome. A total of 21,287 genes 16 were expressed in our dataset.

  • Supplemental Information
    Supplemental information Dissection of the genomic structure of the miR-183/96/182 gene. Previously, we showed that the miR-183/96/182 cluster is an intergenic miRNA cluster, located in a ~60-kb interval between the genes encoding nuclear respiratory factor-1 (Nrf1) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2H (Ube2h) on mouse chr6qA3.3 (1). To start to uncover the genomic structure of the miR- 183/96/182 gene, we first studied genomic features around miR-183/96/182 in the UCSC genome browser (http://genome.UCSC.edu/), and identified two CpG islands 3.4-6.5 kb 5’ of pre-miR-183, the most 5’ miRNA of the cluster (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1 and Seq. S1). A cDNA clone, AK044220, located at 3.2-4.6 kb 5’ to pre-miR-183, encompasses the second CpG island (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). We hypothesized that this cDNA clone was derived from 5’ exon(s) of the primary transcript of the miR-183/96/182 gene, as CpG islands are often associated with promoters (2). Supporting this hypothesis, multiple expressed sequences detected by gene-trap clones, including clone D016D06 (3, 4), were co-localized with the cDNA clone AK044220 (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). Clone D016D06, deposited by the German GeneTrap Consortium (GGTC) (http://tikus.gsf.de) (3, 4), was derived from insertion of a retroviral construct, rFlpROSAβgeo in 129S2 ES cells (Fig. 1A and C). The rFlpROSAβgeo construct carries a promoterless reporter gene, the β−geo cassette - an in-frame fusion of the β-galactosidase and neomycin resistance (Neor) gene (5), with a splicing acceptor (SA) immediately upstream, and a polyA signal downstream of the β−geo cassette (Fig.
