Mouse Stxbp1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Stxbp1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Stxbp1 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Stxbp1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001113569 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000026797 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 2. 20 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 19 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000077458). Exon 3 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Stxbp1 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP24-252F13 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: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit total loss of neurotransmitter secretion from synaptic vesicles throughout development and massive neuron apoptosis after initial synaptogenesis, leading to widespread neurodegeneration and complete neonatal lethality. Exon 3 starts from about 4.86% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1619 bp, and the size of intron 3 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1924 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~582 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Phylogenetic profiling has customarily been more widely used with prokaryotes than eukaryotes, because the method is thought to require many diverse genomes. There are now many eukaryotic genomes available, but these are considerably larger, and typical phylogenetic profiling methods require quadratic time or worse in the number of genes. We introduce a fast, scalable phylogenetic profiling approach entitled HogProf, which leverages hierarchical orthologous groups for the construction of large profiles and locality-sensitive hashing for efficient retrieval of similar profiles.

  • Novel Gene Discovery in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
    Novel Gene Discovery in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Mahmoud Raafat Fassad Genetics and Genomic Medicine Programme Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health University College London A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 1 Declaration I, Mahmoud Raafat Fassad, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is one of the ‘ciliopathies’, genetic disorders affecting either cilia structure or function. PCD is a rare recessive disease caused by defective motile cilia. Affected individuals manifest with neonatal respiratory distress, chronic wet cough, upper respiratory tract problems, progressive lung disease resulting in bronchiectasis, laterality problems including heart defects and adult infertility. Early diagnosis and management are essential for better respiratory disease prognosis. PCD is a highly genetically heterogeneous disorder with causal mutations identified in 36 genes that account for the disease in about 70% of PCD cases, suggesting that additional genes remain to be discovered. Targeted next generation sequencing was used for genetic screening of a cohort of patients with confirmed or suggestive PCD diagnosis. The use of multi-gene panel sequencing yielded a high diagnostic output (> 70%) with mutations identified in known PCD genes. Over half of these mutations were novel alleles, expanding the mutation spectrum in PCD genes. The inclusion of patients from various ethnic backgrounds revealed a striking impact of ethnicity on the composition of disease alleles uncovering a significant genetic stratification of PCD in different populations.

Background. Lung cancer is the most common cancer and the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. However, the molecular mechanism of its development is unclear. It is imperative to identify more novel biomarkers. Methods. Two datasets (GSE70880 and GSE113852) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between lung cancer tissues and normal tissues. *en, we constructed a competing en- dogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and performed gene ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, and survival analyses to identify potential biomarkers that are related to the diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer. Results. A total of 41 lncRNAs and 805 mRNAs were differentially expressed in lung cancer.

  • Biomarkers and Genetics of Canine Visceral Haemangiosarcoma
    Biomarkers and genetics of canine visceral haemangiosarcoma Patharee Oungsakul Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Master of Veterinary Studies 0000-0003-4523-3484 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in Year 2020 School of Veterinary Science Abstract Visceral haemangiosarcoma (HSA) is a vascular endothelial cell cancer that arises in internal organs, especially in the spleen. HSA carries a very poor prognosis but is also difficult to diagnose. Therefore, dogs with HSA symptoms are often euthanized without full investigation. The goal of the thesis was to improve the diagnosis and prevention of this cancer by exploring several HSA biomarkers. The thesis comprises four independent biomarker studies regarding glycoproteins, genetics and Infrared spectral markers. The aim of the first study (chapter 2) was to validate the candidates for canine visceral HSA serum biomarkers, by performing tissue immuno- and lectin-labelling of HSA (n = 32) and HSA-like (n=26) formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues with C7 (component complement 7), MGAM (maltase-glucoamylase), VTN (vitronectin) antibodies and DSA (Datura stramonium), WGA (Wheat germ agglutinin), SNA (Sambucus nigra) and PSA (Pisum sativum)lectins. The results showed lectin/immuno-positive signal on HSA cells, endothelial cell of the veins and arteries. IHC and LHC signal intensities were heterogeneous across the tissue types, diagnosis groups (HSA vs HSA-like) and tissue markers. A semi-quantitative assay was applied to assess and compare the levels of IHC/LHC signal intensities of each marker. Among the candidates tested, complement component 7 (C7) and DSA binding glycoproteins were considered the most promising tissue markers as they demonstrated the ability to distinguish HSA tissue from HSA-like tissues (e.g.

Most often, diagnosis is made in the later stages of the disease, with few treatment options available. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL) is one of the most common types of lung cancer. Knowledge concerning its carcinogenic process lags behind that of other cancers of the lungs. Aiming to understand the biological phenomena underlying each stage of the disease and unveil the most significant genes, the current study carried out bioinformatic analysis of different samples that corresponded to the carcinogenic process. New relevant genes for early diagnosis and treatment are proposed and expression profiles for each stage are presented. Based on Protein-Protein interaction networks of these genes, this study proposes that they function as gatekeepers for a wide variety of processes. MYC, MCM2, AURKA, CUL3, and DDIT4L are proposed as a possible group for treatment of SCCL. This work provides a general panorama of the transcriptome profile of SCCL, with a plethora of information regarding its carcinogenesis.

  • The Highly Conserved FOXJ1 Target CFAP161 Is Dispensable for Motile
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The highly conserved FOXJ1 target CFAP161 is dispensable for motile ciliary function in mouse and Xenopus Anja Beckers1, Franziska Fuhl2, Tim Ott2, Karsten Boldt3, Magdalena Maria Brislinger2,7, Peter Walentek4, Karin Schuster‑Gossler1, Jan Hegermann5, Leonie Alten1,8, Elisabeth Kremmer6,9, Adina Przykopanski1,10, Katrin Serth1, Marius Uefng3, Martin Blum2* & Achim Gossler1* Cilia are protrusions of the cell surface and composed of hundreds of proteins many of which are evolutionary and functionally well conserved. In cells assembling motile cilia the expression of numerous ciliary components is under the control of the transcription factor FOXJ1. Here, we analyse the evolutionary conserved FOXJ1 target CFAP161 in Xenopus and mouse. In both species Cfap161 expression correlates with the presence of motile cilia and depends on FOXJ1. Tagged CFAP161 localises to the basal bodies of multiciliated cells of the Xenopus larval epidermis, and in mice CFAP161 protein localises to the axoneme. Surprisingly, disruption of the Cfap161 gene in both species did not lead to motile cilia‑related phenotypes, which contrasts with the conserved expression in cells carrying motile cilia and high sequence conservation. In mice mutation of Cfap161 stabilised the mutant mRNA making genetic compensation triggered by mRNA decay unlikely. However, genes related to microtubules and cilia, microtubule motor activity and inner dyneins were dysregulated, which might bufer the Cfap161 mutation. Cilia are extensions that protrude from the cell surface of most vertebrate and some invertebrate cell types into the extracellular space. Tey can be broadly grouped into nonmotile and motile cilia1. Nonmotile cilia, also referred to as primary cilia, are present on virtually every cell of vertebrates and are critical for signal transduction and sensing of external stimuli (reviewed in2,3).

  • CFAP157 Is a Murine Downstream Effector of FOXJ1 That Is Specifically
    © 2016. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Development (2016) 143, 4736-4748 doi:10.1242/dev.139626 RESEARCH ARTICLE CFAP157 is a murine downstream effector of FOXJ1 that is specifically required for flagellum morphogenesis and sperm motility Marina Weidemann1, Karin Schuster-Gossler1, Michael Stauber1, Christoph Wrede2, Jan Hegermann2, Tim Ott3, Karsten Boldt4, Tina Beyer4, Katrin Serth1, Elisabeth Kremmer5, Martin Blum3, Marius Ueffing4 and Achim Gossler1,* ABSTRACT Raff, 2009). In vertebrate embryos, motile cilia in the left-right Motile cilia move extracellular fluids or mediate cellular motility. Their organiser rotate and generate a leftward flow of the extracellular function is essential for embryonic development, adult tissue fluid, which is translated into left-right asymmetry of visceral homeostasis and reproduction throughout vertebrates. FOXJ1 is a organs (reviewed by Blum et al., 2014; Nonaka et al., 1998; key transcription factor for the formation of motile cilia but its Takeda et al., 1999). Coordinated beating of motile cilia on epithelia of the lung is required for airway clearance (Jain et al., downstream genetic programme is only partially understood. Here, ’ we characterise a novel FOXJ1 target, Cfap157, that is specifically 2010; Stannard and O Callaghan, 2006). Motile cilia on expressed in motile ciliated tissues in mouse and Xenopus in a ependymal cells lining the brain ventricles secure normal FOXJ1-dependent manner. CFAP157 protein localises to basal cerebrospinal fluid flow (Banizs et al., 2005; Jacquet et al., bodies and interacts with tubulin and the centrosomal protein 2009; Lee, 2013; Spassky et al., 2005) and motile cilia in the CEP350. Cfap157 knockout mice appear normal but homozygous fallopian tube contribute to movement of eggs (Lyons et al., males are infertile.
