The immune complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium, leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the complete pathophysiology of the disease is not understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach, we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsy specimens from patients with IgAN (n=19) and controls (n=22). Using curated glomerular cell type–specific genes from the published literature, we found differential expression of a much higher percentage of mesangial cell–positive standard genes than podocyte-positive standard genes in IgAN. Principal coordinate analysis of expression data revealed clear separation of patient and control samples on the basis of mesangial but not podocyte cell–positive standard genes. Additionally, patient clinical parameters (serum creatinine values and eGFRs) significantly correlated with Z scores derived from the expression profile of mesangial cell–positive standard genes. Among patients groupedaccordingtoOxfordMESTscore,patientswith segmental glomerulosclerosis had a significantly higher mesangial cell–positive standard gene Z score than patients without segmental glomerulosclerosis. By investi- gating mesangial cell proteomics and glomerular transcriptomics, we identified 22 common pathways induced in mesangial cells by gd-IgA, most of which mediate inflammation. The genes, proteins, and corresponding pathways identified provide novel insights into the pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to IgAN.

Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common types of malignancy of the urinary system. The pathogenesis and effective diagnosis of ccRCC have become popular topics for research in the previous decade. In the current study, an integrated bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify core genes associated in ccRCC. An expression dataset (GSE105261) was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and included 26 ccRCC and 9 normal kideny samples. Assessment of the microarray dataset led to the recognition of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which was subsequently used for pathway and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis.

  • Towards the Understanding of Ccnb1ip1 As a Co-Regulator of Meiotic Crossing-Over in the Mouse
    TOWARDS THE UNDERSTANDING OF CCNB1IP1 AS A CO-REGULATOR OF MEIOTIC CROSSING-OVER IN THE MOUSE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Edward Remco Strong January 2014 © 2014 Edward Remco Strong TOWARDS THE UNDERSTANDING OF CCNB1IP1 AS A CO-REGULATOR OF MEIOTIC CROSSING-OVER IN THE MOUSE Edward Remco Strong, Ph. D. Cornell University 2014 It is clear that there are many genes required for meiosis in mammals that are not present in the more tractable model organisms. To identify such genes, our lab has performed forward genetic chemical (ENU) mutagenesis screens for alleles conferring infertility in mice. A novel allele, Ccnb1ip1mei4, generated in these screens is of interest because it is defective in a form of recombination called crossing-over. Ccnb1ip1mei4/mei4 results in male and female infertility of otherwise normal-appearing animals. CCNB1IP1 is finely regulated in both timing and localization to the events of meiotic crossover formations. Towards understanding the molecular functions of CCNB1IP1 and how the defect in Ccnb1ip1me4i/mei4 animals leads to meiotic arrest, studies of CCNB1IP1 within meiocytes implicate a role for CCNB1IP1 in SUMOylation. Remarkably little is understood about SUMO-modification consequences to meiosis. Protein-protein interactions with CCNB1IP1 identify a number of putative targets of SUMOylation, and subsequent in vivo biochemical interrogations reveal the CCNB1IP1-interacting proteins 4930455F23RIK and GGN as targets of posttranslational modification dependent upon a putative SUMO E3 ligase. In totality, these studies support the hypothesis that CCNB1IP1 performs as a meiotic co- regulator, mediating the SUMO-modification of proteins essential to the stabilization and maturation of crossover intermediates.

  • CLCN5 Gene Chloride Voltage-Gated Channel 5
    CLCN5 gene chloride voltage-gated channel 5 Normal Function The CLCN5 gene provides instructions for making a protein called ClC-5 that transports charged atoms (ions) across cell membranes. Specifically, ClC-5 exchanges negatively charged atoms of chlorine (chloride ions) for positively charged atoms of hydrogen ( protons or hydrogen ions). Based on this function, ClC-5 is known as a H+/Cl- exchanger. ClC-5 is found primarily in the kidneys, particularly in structures called proximal tubules. These structures help to reabsorb nutrients, water, and other materials that have been filtered from the bloodstream. The kidneys reabsorb needed materials into the blood and excrete everything else into the urine. Within proximal tubule cells, ClC-5 is embedded in specialized compartments called endosomes. Endosomes are formed at the cell surface to carry proteins and other molecules to their destinations within the cell. ClC-5 transports hydrogen ions into endosomes and chloride ions out, which helps these compartments maintain the proper acidity level (pH). Endosomal pH levels must be tightly regulated for proximal tubule cells to function properly. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Dent disease About 150 mutations in the CLCN5 gene have been found to cause Dent disease 1, a chronic kidney disorder that can cause kidney failure. Most of the mutations lead to the production of an abnormally short, nonfunctional version of ClC-5 or prevent cells from producing any of this protein. A loss of ClC-5 alters the regulation of endosomal pH, which disrupts the overall function of proximal tubule cells and prevents them from reabsorbing proteins and other materials into the bloodstream.

To progress our understanding of the structural changes and molecular pathways involved in these myopathies, a transcriptomic analysis was performed using an 8 × 60 K Agilent chicken microarray and histological study. The study used pectoralis major muscles from three groups: slow-growing animals (n = 8), fast-growing animals visually free from defects (n = 8), or severely afected by both WS and WB (n = 8). In addition, a weighted correlation network analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between modules of co-expressed genes and histological traits. Functional analysis suggested that selection for fast growing and breast meat yield has progressively led to conditions favouring metabolic shifts towards alternative catabolic pathways to produce energy, leading to an adaptive response to oxidative stress and the frst signs of infammatory, regeneration and fbrosis processes. All these processes are intensifed in muscles afected by severe myopathies, in which new mechanisms related to cellular defences and remodelling seem also activated. Furthermore, our study opens new perspectives for myopathy diagnosis by highlighting fne histological phenotypes and genes whose expression was strongly correlated with defects. Te poultry industry relies on the production of fast-growing chickens, which are slaughtered at high weights and intended for cutting and processing.

  • Systems and Chemical Biology Approaches to Study Cell Function and Response to Toxins
    Dissertation submitted to the Combined Faculties for the Natural Sciences and for Mathematics of the Ruperto-Carola University of Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences Presented by MSc. Yingying Jiang born in Shandong, China Oral-examination: Systems and chemical biology approaches to study cell function and response to toxins Referees: Prof. Dr. Rob Russell Prof. Dr. Stefan Wölfl CONTRIBUTIONS The chapter III of this thesis was submitted for publishing under the title “Drug mechanism predominates over toxicity mechanisms in drug induced gene expression” by Yingying Jiang, Tobias C. Fuchs, Kristina Erdeljan, Bojana Lazerevic, Philip Hewitt, Gordana Apic & Robert B. Russell. For chapter III, text phrases, selected tables, figures are based on this submitted manuscript that has been originally written by myself. i ABSTRACT Toxicity is one of the main causes of failure during drug discovery, and of withdrawal once drugs reached the market. Prediction of potential toxicities in the early stage of drug development has thus become of great interest to reduce such costly failures. Since toxicity results from chemical perturbation of biological systems, we combined biological and chemical strategies to help understand and ultimately predict drug toxicities. First, we proposed a systematic strategy to predict and understand the mechanistic interpretation of drug toxicities based on chemical fragments. Fragments frequently found in chemicals with certain toxicities were defined as structural alerts for use in prediction. Some of the predictions were supported with mechanistic interpretation by integrating fragment- chemical, chemical-protein, protein-protein interactions and gene expression data. Next, we systematically deciphered the mechanisms of drug actions and toxicities by analyzing the associations of drugs’ chemical features, biological features and their gene expression profiles from the TG-GATEs database.

HEREDITARY KIDNEY DISORDERS Ana Stavljenić-Rukavina 5.1 Introduction Hereditary kidney disorders represent significant risk for the development of end stage renal desease (ESRD). Most of them are recognized in childhood, or prenataly particularly those phenotypicaly expressed as anomalies on ultrasound examination (US) during pregnancy. They represent almost 50% of all fetal malformations detected by US (1). Furthermore many of urinary tract malformations are associated with renal dysplasia which leeds to renal failure. Recent advances in molecular genetics have made a great impact on better understanding of underlying molecular mechanisms in different kidney and urinary tract disorders found in childhood or adults. Even some of clinical syndromes were not recognized earlier as genetic one. In monogenic kidney diseases gene mutations have been identified for Alport syndrome and thin basement membrane disease, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and tubular transporter disorders. There is evident progress in studies of polygenic renal disorders as glomerulopathies and diabetic nephropathy. The expanded knowledge on renal physiology and pathophysiology by analyzing the phenotypes caused by defected genes might gain to earlier diagnosis and provide new diagnostic and prognostic tool. The global increasing number of patients with ESRD urges the identification of molecular pathways involved in renal pathophysiology in order to serve as targets for either prevention or intervention. Molecular genetics nowadays possess significant tools that can be used to identify genes involved in renal disease including gene expression arrays, linkage analysis and association studies.

To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.
