  • Moderate the MAOA-L Allele Expression with CRISPR/Cas9 System
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 23 April 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201804.0275.v1 1 Review 2 Moderate the MAOA-L Allele Expression with CRISPR/Cas9 System 3 Martin L. Nelwan 4 Department of Animal Science – Other 5 Nelwan Institution for Human Resource Development 6 Jl. A. Yani No. 24 7 Palu, Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia 8 Email: [email protected] 9 Abstract: Antisocial behavior is a behavior disorder inherited according to the inheritance of X-linked 10 chromosome. Mutations in the MAOA gene can cause different behaviors in humans. These can comprise 11 violent behavior or antisocial behavior. Low MAOA (MAOA-L) allele activity can cause antisocial 12 behavior in both healthy and unhealthy people. Antisocial from healthy males can originate from 13 maltreatment during childhood. There are no drugs for the treatment of antisocial behavior permanently 14 at this time. MAOA inhibitor can reverse antisocial behavior in animal models. To cure antisocial 15 behavior in the future, the CRISPR/Cas9 system in combination with iPSCs or ssODN methods for 16 instance can be used. This system has succeeded to correct erroneous segments in the F8 gene and F9 17 gene. Both genes occupy the X chromosome. The MAOA gene also occupies the X chromosome. It seems 18 that CRISPR/Cas9 system may be a beneficial tool to edit erroneous segments in the MAOA gene to treat 19 antisocial behavior. 20 Keywords: advanced therapy, aggressive, antisocial, behavior, MAOA. 21 22 1. Introduction 23 Antisocial behavior is a hereditary disorder inherited through an X-linked recessive inheritance 24 pattern.

  • The Role and Mechanisms of Action of Micrornas in Cancer Drug Resistance Wengong Si1,2,3, Jiaying Shen4, Huilin Zheng1,5 and Weimin Fan1,6*
    Si et al. Clinical Epigenetics (2019) 11:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-018-0587-8 REVIEW Open Access The role and mechanisms of action of microRNAs in cancer drug resistance Wengong Si1,2,3, Jiaying Shen4, Huilin Zheng1,5 and Weimin Fan1,6* Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with a length of about 19–25 nt, which can regulate various target genes and are thus involved in the regulation of a variety of biological and pathological processes, including the formation and development of cancer. Drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy is one of the main obstacles to curing this malignant disease. Statistical data indicate that over 90% of the mortality of patients with cancer is related to drug resistance. Drug resistance of cancer chemotherapy can be caused by many mechanisms, such as decreased antitumor drug uptake, modified drug targets, altered cell cycle checkpoints, or increased DNA damage repair, among others. In recent years, many studies have shown that miRNAs are involved in the drug resistance of tumor cells by targeting drug-resistance-related genes or influencing genes related to cell proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis. A single miRNA often targets a number of genes, and its regulatory effect is tissue-specific. In this review, we emphasize the miRNAs that are involved in the regulation of drug resistance among different cancers and probe the mechanisms of the deregulated expression of miRNAs. The molecular targets of miRNAs and their underlying signaling pathways are also explored comprehensively. A holistic understanding of the functions of miRNAs in drug resistance will help us develop better strategies to regulate them efficiently and will finally pave the way toward better translation of miRNAs into clinics, developing them into a promising approach in cancer therapy.

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.

Subbaiaih2, Swat Kim Kerk 2, Amelia Yilin Lee 2,3, Hui Ying Lai3,4, Accepted: 12 January 2018 Kee Woei Ng3,4,7, Siu Kwan Sze 1 & Artur Schmidtchen2,5,6 Published: xx xx xxxx Human hair is laminar-fbrous tissue and an evolutionarily old keratinization product of follicle trichocytes. Studies on the hair proteome can give new insights into hair function and lead to the development of novel biomarkers for hair in health and disease. Human hair proteins were extracted by detergent and detergent-free techniques. We adopted a shotgun proteomics approach, which demonstrated a large extractability and variety of hair proteins after detergent extraction. We found an enrichment of keratin, keratin-associated proteins (KAPs), and intermediate flament proteins, which were part of protein networks associated with response to stress, innate immunity, epidermis development, and the hair cycle. Our analysis also revealed a signifcant deamidation of keratin type I and II, and KAPs. The hair shafts were found to contain several types of histones, which are well known to exert antimicrobial activity. Analysis of the hair proteome, particularly its composition, protein abundances, deamidated hair proteins, and modifcation sites, may ofer a novel approach to explore potential biomarkers of hair health quality, hair diseases, and aging. Hair is an important and evolutionarily conserved structure. It originates from hair follicles deep within the der- mis and is mainly composed of hair keratins and KAPs, which form a complex network that contributes to the rigidity and mechanical properties.

  • Principles and Applications of Rabbit Models for Atherosclerosis Research

However, many unique features of the rabbit have also made it as an excellent species for examining a number of aspects of human diseases such as atherosclerosis. Rabbits are phylogenetically closer to humans than rodents, in addition to their relatively proper size, tame disposition, and ease of use and maintenance in the laboratory facility. Due to their short life spans, short gestation periods, high numbers of progeny, low cost (compared with other large ani- mals) and availability of genomics and proteomics, rabbits usually serve to bridge the gap between smaller rodents (mice and rats) and larger animals, such as dogs, pigs and monkeys, and play an important role in many translational research activities such as pre-clinical testing of drugs and diag- nostic methods for patients. The principle of using rabbits rather than other animals as an experi- mental model is very simple: rabbits should be used for research, such as translational research, that is difficult to accomplish with other species. Recently, rabbit genome sequencing and transcriptomic profiling of atherosclerosis have been successfully completed, which has paved a new way for researchers to use this model in the future.

  • The Genetic Heterogeneity of Brachydactyly Type A1: Identifying the Molecular Pathways
    The genetic heterogeneity of brachydactyly type A1: Identifying the molecular pathways Lemuel Jean Racacho Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Biochemistry Specialization in Human and Molecular Genetics Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa © Lemuel Jean Racacho, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 Abstract Brachydactyly type A1 (BDA1) is a rare autosomal dominant trait characterized by the shortening of the middle phalanges of digits 2-5 and of the proximal phalange of digit 1 in both hands and feet. Many of the brachymesophalangies including BDA1 have been associated with genetic perturbations along the BMP-SMAD signaling pathway. The goal of this thesis is to identify the molecular pathways that are associated with the BDA1 phenotype through the genetic assessment of BDA1-affected families. We identified four missense mutations that are clustered with other reported BDA1 mutations in the central region of the N-terminal signaling peptide of IHH. We also identified a missense mutation in GDF5 cosegregating with a semi-dominant form of BDA1. In two families we reported two novel BDA1-associated sequence variants in BMPR1B, the gene which codes for the receptor of GDF5. In 2002, we reported a BDA1 trait linked to chromosome 5p13.3 in a Canadian kindred (BDA1B; MIM %607004) but we did not discover a BDA1-causal variant in any of the protein coding genes within the 2.8 Mb critical region. To provide a higher sensitivity of detection, we performed a targeted enrichment of the BDA1B locus followed by high-throughput sequencing.
