Mouse Jam3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Jam3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Jam3 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Jam3 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_023277 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000031990 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 9. 9 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 9 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000034472). Exon 4~5 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Jam3 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-375B13 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Approximately 60% of mice homozygous for a targeted mutation exhibit postnatal lethality. Males are infertile and display small testes and arrested differentiation of round spermatids into spermatozoa, as shown by the absence of acrosomes, elongated nuclei, and morphological signs of polarization. Exon 4 starts from about 27.63% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 4~5 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 3 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 3490 bp, and the size of intron 5 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1055 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1279 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

    DECIPHERING TRANSCRIPTIONAL PATTERNS OF GENE REGULATION: A COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH by Princy Parsana A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland July, 2020 © 2020 Princy Parsana All rights reserved Abstract With rapid advancements in sequencing technology, we now have the ability to sequence the entire human genome, and to quantify expression of tens of thousands of genes from hundreds of individuals. This provides an extraordinary opportunity to learn phenotype relevant genomic patterns that can improve our understanding of molecular and cellular processes underlying a trait. The high dimensional nature of genomic data presents a range of computational and statistical challenges. This dissertation presents a compilation of projects that were driven by the motivation to efficiently capture gene regulatory patterns in the human transcriptome, while addressing statistical and computational challenges that accompany this data. We attempt to address two major difficulties in this domain: a) artifacts and noise in transcriptomic data, andb) limited statistical power. First, we present our work on investigating the effect of artifactual variation in gene expression data and its impact on trans-eQTL discovery. Here we performed an in-depth analysis of diverse pre-recorded covariates and latent confounders to understand their contribution to heterogeneity in gene expression measurements. Next, we discovered 673 trans-eQTLs across 16 human tissues using v6 data from the Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. Finally, we characterized two trait-associated trans-eQTLs; one in Skeletal Muscle and another in Thyroid. Second, we present a principal component based residualization method to correct gene expression measurements prior to reconstruction of co-expression networks.

  • Structure and Junctional Complexes of Endothelial, Epithelial and Glial Brain Barriers
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Structure and Junctional Complexes of Endothelial, Epithelial and Glial Brain Barriers Mariana Castro Dias *, Josephine A. Mapunda, Mykhailo Vladymyrov and Britta Engelhardt * Theodor Kocher Institute, University of Bern, 3012 Bern, Switzerland; [email protected] (J.A.M.); [email protected] (M.V.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.C.D.); [email protected] (B.E.) Received: 14 October 2019; Accepted: 26 October 2019; Published: 29 October 2019 Abstract: The homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS) is ensured by the endothelial, epithelial, mesothelial and glial brain barriers, which strictly control the passage of molecules, solutes and immune cells. While the endothelial blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the epithelial blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) have been extensively investigated, less is known about the epithelial and mesothelial arachnoid barrier and the glia limitans. Here, we summarize current knowledge of the cellular composition of the brain barriers with a specific focus on describing the molecular constituents of their junctional complexes. We propose that the brain barriers maintain CNS immune privilege by dividing the CNS into compartments that differ with regard to their role in immune surveillance of the CNS. We close by providing a brief overview on experimental tools allowing for reliable in vivo visualization of the brain barriers and their junctional complexes and thus the respective CNS compartments. Keywords: brain barriers; blood-brain barrier; neurovascular unit; blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier; arachnoid barrier; glia limitans; tight junctions; adherens junctions 1. Introduction The brain barriers established by the endothelial blood-brain barrier (BBB), the epithelial blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB), the meningeal brain barriers and the blood spinal cord barrier are essential for maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis [1].

The epigenome, and more specifically DNA methylation, is recognized as important link between these factors. We postulate that DNA methylation is one of the routes by which cigarette smoke influences the development of COPD. In this study, we aim to identify CpG-sites that are associated with cigarette smoke exposure and lung function levels in whole blood and validate these CpG-sites in lung tissue. Methods: The association between pack years and DNA methylation was studied genome-wide in 658 current smokers with >5 pack years using robust linear regression analysis. Using mediation analysis, we subsequently selected the CpG-sites that were also associated with lung function levels. Significant CpG-sites were validated in lung tissue with pyrosequencing and expression quantitative trait methylation (eQTM) analysis was performed to investigate the association between DNA methylation and gene expression. Results: 15 CpG-sites were significantly associated with pack years and 10 of these were additionally associated with lung function levels. We validated 5 CpG-sites in lung tissue and found several associations between DNA methylation and gene expression.

Förster1 Received: 11 June 2018 /Revised: 26 November 2018 /Accepted: 21 December 2018 /Published online: 8 January 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity is one of the important elements of central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. MicroRNAs (miRs) have been demonstrated to play a role in many CNS disorders such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. MiR-212/132 are highly expressed in the CNS but their role at the BBB has not been characterized yet. Thus, we analyzed the expression of miR- 212/132 in hypoxic mouse and human brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC) as well as in posttraumatic mouse and human brain tissue and serum exosomes. MiR-212/132 expression was detected in brain capillaries by in situ hybridization and was increased up to ten times in hypoxic BMEC. Over-expression of pre-miR-212/132 in BMEC decreased barrier properties and reduced migration of BMEC in the wound healing assay. We identified and validated tight junction proteins claudin-1 (Cldn1), junctional adhesion molecule 3 (Jam3), and tight junction-associated protein 1 (Tjap1) as potential miR-212/132 targets. Over- expression of miRs led to a decrease in mRNA and protein expression of Cldn1, Jam3, and Tjap1, which could be rescued by a respective anti-miR.

Clinical and molecular evidence indicates that lung adenocarcinoma is a heterogeneous disease, which has important implications for treatment. Here we performed genome-scale DNA methylation profiling using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 platform on 59 matched lung adenocarcinoma/non-tumor lung pairs, with genome-scale verifi- cation on an independent set of tissues.

  • Developmental Retardation Due to Paternal 5Q/11Q Translocation in a Chinese Infant: Clinical, Chromosomal and Microarray Characterization
    Journal of Genetics (2019) 98:77 © Indian Academy of Sciences https://doi.org/10.1007/s12041-019-1120-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Developmental retardation due to paternal 5q/11q translocation in a Chinese infant: clinical, chromosomal and microarray characterization XIANGYU ZHAO1 , HONGYAN XU1, CHEN ZHAO2 and LIN LI1∗ 1Department of Medical Genetics, Linyi People’s Hospital, Linyi 276003, Shandong, People’s Republic of China 2Department of Neurology, Weifang People’s Hospital, Weifang 261000, Shandong, People’s Republic of China *For correspondence. E-mail: [email protected]. Received 12 June 2018; revised 18 April 2019; accepted 19 May 2019 Abstract. Although it is known that the parental carriers of chromosomal translocation are considered to be at high risk for spontaneous abortion and embryonic death, normal gestation and delivery remain possible. This study aims to investigate the genetic factors of a Chinese infant with multiple malformations and severe postnatal development retardation. In this study, the routine cytogenetic analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis were performed. Conventional karyotype analyses revealed normal karyotypes of all family members. CMA of the DNA of the proband revealed a 8.3 Mb duplication of 5q35.1-qter and a 6.9 Mb deletion of 11q24.3-qter. FISH analyses verified a paternal tiny translocation between the long arm of chromosomes 5 and 11. Our investigation serves to provide important information on genetic counselling for the patient and future pregnancies in this family. Moreover, the combined use of CMA and FISH is effective for clarifying pathogenically submicroscopic copy number variants. Keywords. 5q/11q translocation; karyotyping; chromosomal microarray analysis; fluorescence in situ hybridization; growth retardation.

    Anti-JAM3 monoclonal antibody, clone 2E4 (CAB- 3683MH) This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. PRODUCT INFORMATION Product Overview Mouse Anti-JAM3 Monoclonal Antibody Antigen Description Tight junctions represent one mode of cell-to-cell adhesion in epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, forming continuous seals around cells and serving as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space. The protein encoded by this immunoglobulin superfamily gene member is localized in the tight junctions between high endothelial cells. Unlike other proteins in this family, the this protein is unable to adhere to leukocyte cell lines and only forms weak homotypic interactions. The encoded protein is a member of the junctional adhesion molecule protein family and acts as a receptor for another member of this family. Target JAM3 Immunogen JAM3 (NP_116190, 82 a.a. ~ 180 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa. Isotype IgG2a Source/Host Mouse Species Reactivity Human Clone 2E4 Conjugate Unconjugated Applications ELISA Format Clear, colorless solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2.
