  • Pathway-Based Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Coronary Heart Disease Identifies Biologically Important Gene Sets
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2012) 20, 1168–1173 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/12 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Pathway-based genome-wide association analysis of coronary heart disease identifies biologically important gene sets Lisa de las Fuentes1,4, Wei Yang2,4, Victor G Da´vila-Roma´n1 and C Charles Gu*,2,3 Genome-wide association (GWA) studies of complex diseases including coronary heart disease (CHD) challenge investigators attempting to identify relevant genetic variants among hundreds of thousands of markers being tested. A selection strategy based purely on statistical significance will result in many false negative findings after adjustment for multiple testing. Thus, an integrated analysis using information from the learned genetic pathways, molecular functions, and biological processes is desirable. In this study, we applied a customized method, variable set enrichment analysis (VSEA), to the Framingham Heart Study data (404 467 variants, n ¼ 6421) to evaluate enrichment of genetic association in 1395 gene sets for their contribution to CHD. We identified 25 gene sets with nominal Po0.01; at least four sets are previously known for their roles in CHD: vascular genesis (GO:0001570), fatty-acid biosynthetic process (GO:0006633), fatty-acid metabolic process (GO:0006631), and glycerolipid metabolic process (GO:0046486). Although the four gene sets include 170 genes, only three of the genes contain a variant ranked among the top 100 in single-variant association tests of the 404 467 variants tested. Significant enrichment for novel gene sets less known for their importance to CHD were also identified: Rac 1 cell-motility signaling pathway (h_rac1 Pathway, Po0.001) and sulfur amino-acid metabolic process (GO:0000096, Po0.001).

  • Supporting Information
    Supporting Information Pouryahya et al. SI Text Table S1 presents genes with the highest absolute value of Ricci curvature. We expect these genes to have significant contribution to the network’s robustness. Notably, the top two genes are TP53 (tumor protein 53) and YWHAG gene. TP53, also known as p53, it is a well known tumor suppressor gene known as the "guardian of the genome“ given the essential role it plays in genetic stability and prevention of cancer formation (1, 2). Mutations in this gene play a role in all stages of malignant transformation including tumor initiation, promotion, aggressiveness, and metastasis (3). Mutations of this gene are present in more than 50% of human cancers, making it the most common genetic event in human cancer (4, 5). Namely, p53 mutations play roles in leukemia, breast cancer, CNS cancers, and lung cancers, among many others (6–9). The YWHAG gene encodes the 14-3-3 protein gamma, a member of the 14-3-3 family proteins which are involved in many biological processes including signal transduction regulation, cell cycle pro- gression, apoptosis, cell adhesion and migration (10, 11). Notably, increased expression of 14-3-3 family proteins, including protein gamma, have been observed in a number of human cancers including lung and colorectal cancers, among others, suggesting a potential role as tumor oncogenes (12, 13). Furthermore, there is evidence that loss Fig. S1. The histogram of scalar Ricci curvature of 8240 genes. Most of the genes have negative scalar Ricci curvature (75%).

  • Integrated Molecular Characterisation of the MAPK Pathways in Human
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-01552-6 OPEN Integrated molecular characterisation of the MAPK pathways in human cancers reveals pharmacologically vulnerable mutations and gene dependencies 1234567890():,; ✉ Musalula Sinkala 1 , Panji Nkhoma 2, Nicola Mulder 1 & Darren Patrick Martin1 The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are crucial regulators of the cellular processes that fuel the malignant transformation of normal cells. The molecular aberrations which lead to cancer involve mutations in, and transcription variations of, various MAPK pathway genes. Here, we examine the genome sequences of 40,848 patient-derived tumours representing 101 distinct human cancers to identify cancer-associated mutations in MAPK signalling pathway genes. We show that patients with tumours that have mutations within genes of the ERK-1/2 pathway, the p38 pathways, or multiple MAPK pathway modules, tend to have worse disease outcomes than patients with tumours that have no mutations within the MAPK pathways genes. Furthermore, by integrating information extracted from various large-scale molecular datasets, we expose the relationship between the fitness of cancer cells after CRISPR mediated gene knockout of MAPK pathway genes, and their dose-responses to MAPK pathway inhibitors. Besides providing new insights into MAPK pathways, we unearth vulnerabilities in specific pathway genes that are reflected in the re sponses of cancer cells to MAPK targeting drugs: a revelation with great potential for guiding the development of innovative therapies.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Matthew Meyerson Tanaz Sharifnia Genetic and Chemical Modifiers of EGFR Dependence in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ABSTRACT The term ‘oncogene addiction’ has been used to describe the phenomenon whereby tumor cells exhibit singular reliance on an oncogene or oncogenic pathway for their survival, despite the accumulation of multiple genetic lesions. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), this principle is perhaps best exemplified with the finding that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations predict response to EGFR-targeted therapies and thus represent a dependency in the subset of tumors harboring these alterations.

They pose a major challenge to the clinician: due to significant phenotype overlap, a precise diagnosis is often difficult to obtain, some of the malformations carry a risk of life threatening complications and, for many entities, treatment is not well established. To facilitate their recognition and aid in differentiation, we present a selection of notable congenital disorders of vascular system development, distinguishing between the heritable germinal and sporadic somatic mutations as their causes. Clinical features, genetic background and comprehensible description of molecular mechanisms is provided for each entity. Key words: arteriovenous malformation, vascular malformation, capillary malformation, venous malformation, arterial malformation, lymphatic malformation.

Henrickson5, 1234567890():,; Gabriela Chiosis3,13 & Lorenz Studer1,2 Environmental and genetic risk factors contribute to Parkinson’s Disease (PD) pathogenesis and the associated midbrain dopamine (mDA) neuron loss. Here, we identify early PD pathogenic events by developing methodology that utilizes recent innovations in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) and chemical sensors of HSP90-incorporating chaperome networks. We show that events triggered by PD-related genetic or toxic stimuli alter the neuronal proteome, thereby altering the stress-specific chaperome networks, which produce changes detected by chemical sensors. Through this method we identify STAT3 and NF-κB signaling activation as examples of genetic stress, and phospho-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activation as an example of toxic stress-induced pathways in PD neurons. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of the stress chaperome network reversed abnormal phospho- STAT3 signaling and phospho-TH-related dopamine levels and rescued PD neuron viability. The use of chemical sensors of chaperome networks on hPSC-derived lineages may present a general strategy to identify molecular events associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a disease with multidimensional complexities. Many attempts have been made over the years to treat this disease but its incidence is rising. For this reason, the need to identify and study new candidate proteins that may be associated with NAFLD is of utmost importance. Systems-based approaches such as the analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network could lead to the discovery of new proteins associated with a disease that can then be translated into clinical practice.
