  • Microarray Analysis of Colorectal Cancer Stromal Tissue Reveals Upregulation of Two Oncogenic Mirna Clusters
    Published OnlineFirst March 27, 2012; DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-11-1078 Clinical Cancer Human Cancer Biology Research Microarray Analysis of Colorectal Cancer Stromal Tissue Reveals Upregulation of Two Oncogenic miRNA Clusters Naohiro Nishida1,4, Makoto Nagahara2, Tetsuya Sato3, Koshi Mimori1, Tomoya Sudo1, Fumiaki Tanaka1, Kohei Shibata1, Hideshi Ishii1,4, Kenichi Sugihara2, Yuichiro Doki4, and Masaki Mori1,4 Abstract Purpose: Cancer stroma plays an important role in the progression of cancer. Although alterations in miRNA expression have been explored in various kinds of cancers, the expression of miRNAs in cancer stroma has not been explored in detail. Experimental Design: Using a laser microdissection technique, we collected RNA samples specific for epithelium or stroma from 13 colorectal cancer tissues and four normal tissues, and miRNA microarray and gene expression microarray were carried out. The expression status of miRNAs was confirmed by reverse transcriptase PCR. Furthermore, we investigated whether miRNA expression status in stromal tissue could influence the clinicopathologic factors. Results: Oncogenic miRNAs, including two miRNA clusters, miR-17-92a and miR-106b-25 cluster, were upregulated in cancer stromal tissues compared with normal stroma. Gene expression profiles from cDNA microarray analyses of the same stromal tissue samples revealed that putative targets of these miRNA clusters, predicted by Target Scan, such as TGFBR2, SMAD2, and BMP family genes, were significantly downregulated in cancer stromal tissue. Downregulated putative targets were also found to be involved in cytokine interaction and cellular adhesion. Importantly, expression of miR-25 and miR-92a in stromal tissues was associated with a variety of clinicopathologic factors. Conclusions: Oncogenic miRNAs were highly expressed in cancer stroma.

We extend our previous multipoint linkage disequilibrium approach—simultaneously accounting for correlations between markers and repeat measurements within subjects, and the correlations between subjects in families—to detect loci relevant to disease through gene-based analysis. Estimates of disease loci and their genetic effects along with their 95 % confidence intervals (or significance levels) are reported. Four different phenotypes—ever having hypertension at 4 visits, incidence of hypertension, hypertension status at baseline only, and hypertension status at 4 visits—are studied using the proposed approach. The efficiency of estimates of disease locus positions (inverse of standard error) improves when using the phenotypes from 4 visits rather than using baseline only.

However, when modeling the effects of regulatory factors, most deep learning models either neglect long-range interactions or fail to capture the inherent 3D structure of the underlying genomic organiza- tion. To address these limitations, we present GC-MERGE, a Graph Convolutional Model for Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Expression. Using a graph-based framework, the model incorporates important information about long-range interactions via a natural encoding of spatial interactions into the graph representation. It integrates measurements of both the spa- tial genomic organization and local regulatory factors, specifically histone modifications, to not only predict the expression of a given gene of interest but also quantify the importance of its regulatory factors.

  • Ranking Variable Combinations to Characterize Breast Cancer Subtypes Using the IBIF-RF Metric
    EPiC Series in Computing Volume 70, 2020, Pages 11{20 Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Ranking Variable Combinations to Characterize Breast Cancer Subtypes using the IBIF-RF Metric Isis Narvaez-Bandera and Wandaliz Torres-Garc´ıa University of Puerto Rico, Mayag¨uezCampus, PR, 00681 USA [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract Gene interactions play a fundamental role in the proneness to cancer. However, detect- ing and ranking these interactions is a complex problem due to the high dimensionality of genomic data. Hence, we aim to find patterns composed of multiple features to molecu- larly characterize breast cancer subtypes from the integration of different omics datasets using a data mining approach. To retrieve biological understanding from these compu- tational results, we developed IBIF-RF (Importance Between Interactive Features using Random Forest), a new metric capable of assessing and holistically ranking the importance of genomic interactions without any prior knowledge of key feature combinations. A set of 247 top-performing features from transcriptomic, proteomic, methylation, and clinical data were used to investigate interactive patterns to classify breast cancer subtypes us- ing over 1150 samples. IBIF-RF metric allowed the extraction of 154312, 190481, and 463917 combinations of variables for TCGA, GSE20685, and GSE21653 datasets. Single genes, MLPH and FOXA1, were the most frequently identified variables across all datasets followed by some two-gene interactions such as CEP55-FOXA1 and FOXC1-THSD4. More- over, IBIF-RF metric allowed the definition of two sets of genes frequently found together (1: FOXA1, MLPH, and SIDT1, and 2: CEP55, ASPM, CENPL, AURKA, ESPL1, TTK, UBE2T, NCAPG, GMPS, NDC80, MYBL2, KIF18B, and EXO1).

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ultra-dense SNP genetic map construction and identification of SiDt gene controlling the Received: 18 April 2016 Accepted: 19 July 2016 determinate growth habit in Published: 16 August 2016 Sesamum indicum L. Haiyang Zhang, Hongmei Miao, Chun Li, Libin Wei, Yinghui Duan, Qin Ma, Jingjing Kong, Fangfang Xu & Shuxian Chang Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important oilseed crop and has an indeterminate growth habit. Here we resequenced the genomes of the parents and 120 progeny of an F2 population derived from crossing Yuzhi 11 (indeterminate, Dt) and Yuzhi DS899 (determinate, dt1), and constructed an ultra- dense SNP map for sesame comprised of 3,041 bins including 30,193 SNPs in 13 linkage groups (LGs) with an average marker density of 0.10 cM. Results indicated that the same recessive gene controls the determinacy trait in dt1 and a second determinate line, dt2 (08TP092). The QDt1 locus for the determinacy trait was located in the 18.0 cM–19.2 cM interval of LG8. The target SNP, SiDt27-1, and the determinacy gene, DS899s00170.023 (named here as SiDt), were identified in Scaffold 00170 of the Yuzhi 11 reference genome, based on genetic mapping and genomic association analysis. Unlike the G397A SNP change in the dt1 genotype, the SiDt allele in dt2 line was lost from the genome. This example of map-based gene cloning in sesame provides proof-of-concept of the utility of ultra-dense SNP maps for accurate genome research in sesame. Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 2x =​ 26) belongs to the Pedaliaceae genus and is an ancient oil seed crop1.

Here we review recent evidence that suggests that RNA may supplement endocrine and paracrine signaling by small molecules and proteins, and act as an efficient and evolutionarily flexible source of sequence-specific information transfer between cells, both locally and systemically. As such, RNA signaling may play a central but previously hidden role in multicellular ontogeny, homeostasis, and transmitted epigenetic memory.

  • Transcriptomic Analysis of Granulosa Cell Populations Proximal and Distal
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transcriptomic analysis of granulosa cell populations proximal and distal to the germinal disc of chicken preovulatory follicles Guoqiang Zhu1, Chao Fang1, Chunheng Mo1, Yajun Wang1, Yan Huang2* & Juan Li1* Within the oocytes of chicken preovulatory follicles, the engulfed yolk constitutes 99% of the oocyte content, while the small germinal disc (GD) (which contains the nucleus and 99% ooplasm) occupies only less than 1%. Relative to the position of the GD, the single granulosa cell layer surrounding the oocyte can be sub-divided into two sub-populations: granulosa cells proximal (named Gp cells) and distal (Gd cells) to the GD. It was reported that Gp cells and Gd cells difer in their morphology, proliferative rate and steroidogenic capacity, however, the underlying mechanism controlling granulosa cell heterogeneity remains unclear. Here we analyzed the transcriptomes of Gd and Gp cells of preovulatory (F5 and F1) follicles in chicken ovaries. We found that: (1) genes associated with cell cycle and DNA replication (CDK1, CCNB3 etc.) have comparatively higher expression levels in Gp cells than in Gd cells, while genes associated with steroidogenesis (CYP51A1, DHCR24) are highly expressed in Gd cells, indicating that Gp cells are likely more mitotic and less steroidogenic than Gd cells; (2) genes associated with extracellular matrix remodeling, cell adhesion and sperm binding (ZP3, ZP2) are diferentially expressed in Gp and Gd cells; (3) Furthermore, signaling molecules (WNT4/ IHH) and receptors for NGF (NGFR), epidermal growth factor (EGFR), gonadotropins (FSHR/LHR) and prostaglandin (PTGER3) are abundantly but diferentially expressed in Gp and Gd cells. Taken together, our data strongly supports the notion that Gp and Gd cells of preovulatory follicles difer in their proliferation rate, steroidogenic activity, ECM organization and sperm binding capacity, which are likely controlled by gonadotropins and local ovarian factors, such as GD-derived factors.
