We hypothesized that loci affecting variation in these quantitative traits influence T2D. We completed a multi-cohort genome-wide association study to search for loci influencing T2D-related quantitative traits in 4,176 Mexican Americans. Quantitative traits were measured by the frequently-sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (4 cohorts) or euglycemic clamp (3 cohorts) and random effects models were used to test association between loci and quantitative traits, adjusting for age, gender, and admixture proportions (Discovery). Analysis revealed significant (P<5.00x10-8) association at 11q14.3 (MTNR1B) with acute insulin response. Loci with P<0.0001 among the quantitative traits were examined for translation to T2D risk in 6,463 T2D cases and 9,232 controls of Mexican ancestry (Translation). Non-parametric meta-analysis of the Discovery and Translation cohorts identified significant associations at 6p24 (SLC35B3/TFAP2A) with glucose effectiveness/T2D, 11p15 (KCNQ1) with disposition index/T2D, and 6p22 (CDKAL1) and 11q14 (MTNR1B) with acute insulin response/T2D. These results suggest that T2D and insulin secretion and sensitivity have both shared and distinct genetic factors, potentially delineating genomic components of these quantitative traits that drive risk for T2D. 3 Diabetes Page 6 of 127 INTRODUCTION The pathophysiologic basis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) reflects derangements in both insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function(1). Alterations in insulin clearance and glucose effectiveness may also contribute to the development of T2D(2). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of T2D have focused almost entirely on clinical presentation of disease and not on these underlying pathophysiologic traits. Expanding the focus to include the genetic basis of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function has the potential to expand our knowledge of the pathophysiologic pathways underlying T2D. To date, GWAS of T2D and related traits have been conducted primarily in European origin populations(3). However, the prevalence of T2D and related traits vary by ethnicity, suggesting differential genetic architecture will provide important insight into T2D diathesis. GWAS in case/control samples of T2D have had a substantial impact on the current understanding of genetic susceptibility to disease, implicating variants in at least 70 genes/regions that each have relatively small individual effects but are common in the general population(4). Most identified T2D genes appear to mediate their influence through the beta-cell and not through insulin resistance. These data contrast with other evidence and the widely accepted belief that insulin resistance is a major(5; 6) heritable(7-10) component of T2D susceptibility. This suggests that insulin resistance is a part of the necessary milieu, but is insufficient to cause frank T2D in isolation. GWAS of the underlying pathophysiologic traits of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function have relied almost entirely on surrogate measures such as homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) parameters(11). While these fasting measures do not reflect the dynamic processes of glucose homeostasis, new T2D loci have been identified through GWAS of basic T2D-related traits such as fasting glucose(11; 12). We have recently documented substantial heritability of direct measures of insulin resistance and insulin clearance in Mexican Americans(13), suggesting that genetic

Sadaf Farooqi3 Obesity is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. Using targeted and whole-exome sequencing, we studied 32 human and 87 rodent obesity genes in 2,548 severely obese children and 1,117 controls. We identified 52 variants contributing to obesity in 2% of cases including multiple novel variants in GNAS, which were sometimes found with accelerated growth rather than short stature as described previously. Nominally significant associations were found for rare functional variants inBBS1 , BBS9, GNAS, MKKS, CLOCK and ANGPTL6. The p.S284X variant in ANGPTL6 drives the association signal (rs201622589, MAF~0.1%, odds ratio = 10.13, p-value = 0.042) and results in complete loss of secretion in cells. Further analysis including additional case-control studies and population controls (N = 260,642) did not support association of this variant with obesity (odds ratio = 2.34, p-value = 2.59 × 10−3), highlighting the challenges of testing rare variant associations and the need for very large sample sizes.

    Potassium Channels in Epilepsy

Their role can be defined from a genetic perspective, focusing on variants and de novo mutations identified in genetic studies or animal models with targeted, specific mutations in genes coding for a member of the large potassium channel family. In these genetic studies, a demonstrated functional link to hyperexcitability often remains elusive. However, their role can also be defined from a functional perspective, based on dy- namic, aggravating, or adaptive transcriptional and posttranslational alterations. In these cases, it often remains elusive whether the alteration is causal or merely incidental. With 80 potassium channel types, of which 10% are known to be associated with epilepsies (in humans) or a seizure phenotype (in animals), if genetically mutated, a comprehensive review is a challenging endeavor. This goal may seem all the more ambitious once the data on posttranslational alterations, found both in human tissue from epilepsy patients and in chronic or acute animal models, are included. We therefore summarize the literature, and expand only on key findings, particularly regarding functional alterations found in patient brain tissue and chronic animal models.

Hahn1, Arthur X. Li2, Xiwei Wu3, Richard Yang1, David A. Drew4, Daniel W. Rosenberg4, and Gerd P. Pfeifer1 Abstract In colon tumors, the transcription of many genes becomes deregulated by poorly defined epigenetic mechanisms that have been studied mainly in established cell lines. In this study, we used frozen human colon tissues to analyze patterns of histone modification and DNA cytosine methylation in cancer and matched normal mucosa specimens. DNA methylation is strongly targeted to bivalent H3K4me3- and H3K27me3-associated promoters, which lose both histone marks and acquire DNA methylation. However, we found that loss of the Polycomb mark H3K27me3 from bivalent promoters was accompanied often by activation of genes associated with cancer progression, including numerous stem cell regulators, oncogenes, and proliferation-associated genes. Indeed, we found many of these same genes were also activated in patients with ulcerative colitis where chronic inflammation predisposes them to colon cancer. Based on our findings, we propose that a loss of Polycomb repression at bivalent genes combined with an ensuing selection for tumor-driving events plays a major role in cancer progression.

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes.

    Ion Channels 3 1

    r r r Cell Signalling Biology Michael J. Berridge Module 3 Ion Channels 3 1 Module 3 Ion Channels Synopsis Ion channels have two main signalling functions: either they can generate second messengers or they can function as effectors by responding to such messengers. Their role in signal generation is mainly centred on the Ca2 + signalling pathway, which has a large number of Ca2+ entry channels and internal Ca2+ release channels, both of which contribute to the generation of Ca2 + signals. Ion channels are also important effectors in that they mediate the action of different intracellular signalling pathways. There are a large number of K+ channels and many of these function in different + aspects of cell signalling. The voltage-dependent K (KV) channels regulate membrane potential and + excitability. The inward rectifier K (Kir) channel family has a number of important groups of channels + + such as the G protein-gated inward rectifier K (GIRK) channels and the ATP-sensitive K (KATP) + + channels. The two-pore domain K (K2P) channels are responsible for the large background K current. Some of the actions of Ca2 + are carried out by Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels and Ca2+-sensitive Cl − channels. The latter are members of a large group of chloride channels and transporters with multiple functions. There is a large family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters some of which have a signalling role in that they extrude signalling components from the cell. One of the ABC transporters is the cystic − − fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that conducts anions (Cl and HCO3 )and contributes to the osmotic gradient for the parallel flow of water in various transporting epithelia.
