ABSTRACT Calcineurin, which functions in calcium signaling, is expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle and has been linked to sensitivity to muscle strength training. It is also proposed to contribute to individual aerobic endurance. To investigate the relationship between calcineurin-encoding genes and aerobic endurance traits, 126 young-adult Han Chinese males were enrolled in an aerobic exercise training study. Participants were genotyped for polymorphisms within the 5 genes (PPP3CA, PPP3CB, PPP3CC, PPP3R1 and PPP3R2) encoding calcineurin using restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP) or matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Participants underwent 18 weeks of aerobic exercise training (running). Before and after the training period, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and 12 km/h running economy were measured. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square test and analysis of variance. The baseline value of VO2max was significantly associated with rs3804423 and rs2850965 loci in the PPP3CA gene (P<0.05). -

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. -
The Role of Phospholipases A2 in Schizophrenia
Molecular Psychiatry (2006) 11, 547–556 & 2006 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 1359-4184/06 $30.00 www.nature.com/mp FEATURE REVIEW The role of phospholipases A2 in schizophrenia MH Law1, RGH Cotton1 and GE Berger1,2 1Genomic Disorders Research Centre, Melbourne, VI, Australia and 2ORYGEN Research Centre, Melbourne, VI, Australia A range of neurotransmitter systems have been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia based on the antidopaminergic activities of antipsychotic medications, and chemicals that can induce psychotic-like symptoms, such as ketamine or PCP. Such neurotransmitter systems often mediate their cellular response via G-protein-coupled release of arachidonic acid (AA) via the activation of phospholipases A2 (PLA2s). The interaction of three PLA2s are important for the regulation of the release of AA – phospholipase A2 Group 2 A, phospholipase A2 Group 4A and phospholipase A2 Group 6A. Gene variations of these three key enzymes have been associated with schizophrenia with conflicting results. Preclinical data suggest that the activity of these three enzymes are associated with monoaminergic neurotransmission, and may contribute to the differential efficacy of antipsychotic medications, as well as other biological changes thought to underlie schizophrenia, such as altered neurodevelopment and synaptic remodelling. We review the evidence and discuss the potential roles of these three key enzymes for schizophrenia with particular emphasis on published association studies.

The genetic contribution to human T2D and related metabolic disorders is evident, and mostly follows polygenic inheritance. The TALLYHO/ JngJ (TH) mice are a polygenic model for T2D characterized by obesity, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose uptake and tolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. -

Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of KRAS Mutant Cell Lines Ben Yi Tew1,5, Joel K
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of KRAS mutant cell lines Ben Yi Tew1,5, Joel K. Durand2,5, Kirsten L. Bryant2, Tikvah K. Hayes2, Sen Peng3, Nhan L. Tran4, Gerald C. Gooden1, David N. Buckley1, Channing J. Der2, Albert S. Baldwin2 ✉ & Bodour Salhia1 ✉ Oncogenic RAS mutations are associated with DNA methylation changes that alter gene expression to drive cancer. Recent studies suggest that DNA methylation changes may be stochastic in nature, while other groups propose distinct signaling pathways responsible for aberrant methylation. Better understanding of DNA methylation events associated with oncogenic KRAS expression could enhance therapeutic approaches. Here we analyzed the basal CpG methylation of 11 KRAS-mutant and dependent pancreatic cancer cell lines and observed strikingly similar methylation patterns. KRAS knockdown resulted in unique methylation changes with limited overlap between each cell line. In KRAS-mutant Pa16C pancreatic cancer cells, while KRAS knockdown resulted in over 8,000 diferentially methylated (DM) CpGs, treatment with the ERK1/2-selective inhibitor SCH772984 showed less than 40 DM CpGs, suggesting that ERK is not a broadly active driver of KRAS-associated DNA methylation. KRAS G12V overexpression in an isogenic lung model reveals >50,600 DM CpGs compared to non-transformed controls. In lung and pancreatic cells, gene ontology analyses of DM promoters show an enrichment for genes involved in diferentiation and development. Taken all together, KRAS-mediated DNA methylation are stochastic and independent of canonical downstream efector signaling. These epigenetically altered genes associated with KRAS expression could represent potential therapeutic targets in KRAS-driven cancer. Activating KRAS mutations can be found in nearly 25 percent of all cancers1. -
