Oxidative Stress-Induced Chromosome Breaks Within
Tan et al. Human Genomics (2018) 12:29 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40246-018-0160-8 PRIMARY RESEARCH Open Access Oxidative stress-induced chromosome breaks within the ABL gene: a model for chromosome rearrangement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma Sang-Nee Tan1, Sai-Peng Sim1* and Alan Soo-Beng Khoo2 Abstract Background: The mechanism underlying chromosome rearrangement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains elusive. It is known that most of the aetiological factors of NPC trigger oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a potent apoptotic inducer. During apoptosis, chromatin cleavage and DNA fragmentation occur. However, cells may undergo DNA repair and survive apoptosis. Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway has been known as the primary DNA repair system in human cells. The NHEJ process may repair DNA ends without any homology, although region of microhomology (a few nucleotides) is usually utilised by this DNA repair system. Cells that evade apoptosis via erroneous DNA repair may carry chromosomal aberration. Apoptotic nuclease was found to be associated with nuclear matrix during apoptosis. Matrix association region/scaffold attachment region (MAR/SAR) is the binding site of the chromosomal DNA loop structure to the nuclear matrix. When apoptotic nuclease is associated with nuclear matrix during apoptosis, it potentially cleaves at MAR/SAR. Cells that survive apoptosis via compromised DNA repair may carry chromosome rearrangement contributing to NPC tumourigenesis. The Abelson murine leukaemia (ABL) gene at 9q34 was targeted in this study as 9q34 is a common region of loss in NPC. This study aimed to identify the chromosome breakages and/or rearrangements in the ABL gene in cells undergoing oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. -

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. -
Regulation of Neuronal Gene Expression and Survival by Basal NMDA Receptor Activity: a Role for Histone Deacetylase 4
The Journal of Neuroscience, November 12, 2014 • 34(46):15327–15339 • 15327 Cellular/Molecular Regulation of Neuronal Gene Expression and Survival by Basal NMDA Receptor Activity: A Role for Histone Deacetylase 4 Yelin Chen,1 Yuanyuan Wang,1 Zora Modrusan,3 Morgan Sheng,1 and Joshua S. Kaminker1,2 Departments of 1Neuroscience, 2Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, and 3Molecular Biology, Genentech Inc., South San Francisco, California 94080 Neuronal gene expression is modulated by activity via calcium-permeable receptors such as NMDA receptors (NMDARs). While gene expression changes downstream of evoked NMDAR activity have been well studied, much less is known about gene expression changes that occur under conditions of basal neuronal activity. In mouse dissociated hippocampal neuronal cultures, we found that a broad NMDAR antagonist, AP5, induced robust gene expression changes under basal activity, but subtype-specific antagonists did not. While some of the gene expression changes are also known to be downstream of stimulated NMDAR activity, others appear specific to basal NMDARactivity.ThegenesalteredbyAP5treatmentofbasalcultureswereenrichedforpathwaysrelatedtoclassIIahistonedeacetylases (HDACs), apoptosis, and synapse-related signaling. Specifically, AP5 altered the expression of all three class IIa HDACs that are highly expressed in the brain, HDAC4, HDAC5, and HDAC9, and also induced nuclear accumulation of HDAC4. HDAC4 knockdown abolished a subset of the gene expression changes induced by AP5, and led to neuronal death under -

([email protected]) 1 PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.cn Rapid evolution of the human-specific microRNAs MicroRNAs are one class of important gene regulators at the post-transcriptional level by binding to the 3’UTRs of target mRNAs. It has been reported that human microRNAs are evolutionary conserved and show lower single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) than their flanking regions. However, in this study, we report that the human-specific microRNAs show a higher SNP density than both the conserved microRNAs and other control regions, suggesting rapid evolution and positive selection has occurred in these regions. Furthermore, we observe that the human-specific microRNAs show greater SNPs minor allele frequency and the SNPs in the human-specific microRNAs show fewer effects on the stability of the microRNA secondary structure, indicating that the SNPs in the human-specific microRNAs tend to be less deleterious. Finally, two microRNAs hsa-mir-423 (SNP: rs6505162), hsa-mir-608 (SNP: rs4919510) and 288 target genes that have apparently been under recent positive selection are identified. -
Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Podocytes Mature Into Vascularized Glomeruli Upon Experimental Transplantation
BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Podocytes Mature into Vascularized Glomeruli upon Experimental Transplantation † Sazia Sharmin,* Atsuhiro Taguchi,* Yusuke Kaku,* Yasuhiro Yoshimura,* Tomoko Ohmori,* ‡ † ‡ Tetsushi Sakuma, Masashi Mukoyama, Takashi Yamamoto, Hidetake Kurihara,§ and | Ryuichi Nishinakamura* *Department of Kidney Development, Institute of Molecular Embryology and Genetics, and †Department of Nephrology, Faculty of Life Sciences, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan; ‡Department of Mathematical and Life Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan; §Division of Anatomy, Juntendo University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan; and |Japan Science and Technology Agency, CREST, Kumamoto, Japan ABSTRACT Glomerular podocytes express proteins, such as nephrin, that constitute the slit diaphragm, thereby contributing to the filtration process in the kidney. Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in -

However, this is not the cause of the hearing loss; even before The microRNA miR-96 is important for hearing, as point mutations in the onset of normal hearing, homozygote hair cells fail to mature humans and mice result in dominant progressive hearing loss. Mir96 both morphologically and physiologically, remaining in their is expressed in sensory cells along with Mir182 and Mir183, but the immature state, and heterozygote hair cells show a developmental roles of these closely-linked microRNAs are as yet unknown. Here, delay. miR-96 is thus thought to be responsible for coordinating we analyse mice carrying null alleles of Mir182, and of Mir183 and hair cell maturation (Chen et al., 2014; Kuhn et al., 2011).

We found that Overexpression of the three miRNAs also results in cochlear defects Mir183/96 heterozygous mice had normal hearing and homozygotes and hearing loss (Weston et al., 2018).
