  • Zebrafish Disease Models to Study the Pathogenesis of Inherited Manganese Transporter Defects and Provide A
    Zebrafish disease models to study the pathogenesis of inherited manganese transporter defects and provide a route for drug discovery Dr Karin Tuschl University College London PhD Supervisors: Dr Philippa Mills & Prof Stephen Wilson A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London August 2016 Declaration I, Karin Tuschl, 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. Part of the work of this thesis has been published in the following articles for which copyright clearance has been obtained (see Appendix): - Tuschl K, et al. Manganese and the brain. Int Rev Neurobiol. 2013. 110:277- 312. - Tuschl K, et al. Mutations in SLC39A14 disrupt manganese homeostasis and cause childhood-onset parkinsonism-dystonia. Nat Comms. 2016. 7:11601. I confirm that these publications were written by me and may therefore partly overlap with my thesis. 2 Abstract Although manganese is required as an essential trace element excessive amounts are neurotoxic and lead to manganism, an extrapyramidal movement disorder associated with deposition of manganese in the basal ganglia. Recently, we have identified the first inborn error of manganese metabolism caused by mutations in SLC30A10, encoding a manganese transporter facilitating biliary manganese excretion. Treatment is limited to chelation therapy with intravenous disodium calcium edetate which is burdensome due to its route of administration and associated with high socioeconomic costs. Whole exome sequencing in patients with inherited hypermanganesaemia and early- onset parkinsonism-dystonia but absent SLC30A10 mutations identified SLC39A14 as a novel disease gene associated with manganese dyshomeostasis.

Because regulatory elements are conserved between humans and mice, a thorough annotation of cis regulatory variants in mice could aid in further characterizing these mechanisms. Here we provide a detailed portrait of mouse gene expression across multiple tissues in a three-way diallel. Greater than 80% of mouse genes have cis regulatory variation. Effects from these variants influence complex traits and usually extend to the human ortholog. Further, we estimate that at least one in every thousand SNPs creates a cis regulatory effect.

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.
