Mouse Renbp Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Renbp Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Renbp conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Renbp gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_023132 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000031387 ) is located on Mouse chromosome X. 11 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 11 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000116578). Exon 1~6 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Renbp gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP24-300A24 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation exhibit normal function of the renin-angiotensin system and blood pressure regulation; however, abnormalites in urine carbohydrates were noted. Exon 1~6 covers 53.49% of the coding region. Start codon is in exon 1, and stop codon is in exon 11. The size of intron 6 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 755 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1888 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis. Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp Sequence 12 Summary: Full Length(8128bp) | A(27.21% 2212) | C(23.7% 1926) | T(24.37% 1981) | G(24.72% 2009) Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region is analyzed to determine the GC content. No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

    Patterns of DNA methylation on the human X chromosome and use in analyzing X-chromosome inactivation by Allison Marie Cotton B.Sc., The University of Guelph, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Medical Genetics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2012 © Allison Marie Cotton, 2012 Abstract The process of X-chromosome inactivation achieves dosage compensation between mammalian males and females. In females one X chromosome is transcriptionally silenced through a variety of epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation. Most X-linked genes are subject to X-chromosome inactivation and only expressed from the active X chromosome. On the inactive X chromosome, the CpG island promoters of genes subject to X-chromosome inactivation are methylated in their promoter regions, while genes which escape from X- chromosome inactivation have unmethylated CpG island promoters on both the active and inactive X chromosomes. The first objective of this thesis was to determine if the DNA methylation of CpG island promoters could be used to accurately predict X chromosome inactivation status. The second objective was to use DNA methylation to predict X-chromosome inactivation status in a variety of tissues. A comparison of blood, muscle, kidney and neural tissues revealed tissue-specific X-chromosome inactivation, in which 12% of genes escaped from X-chromosome inactivation in some, but not all, tissues. X-linked DNA methylation analysis of placental tissues predicted four times higher escape from X-chromosome inactivation than in any other tissue. Despite the hypomethylation of repetitive elements on both the X chromosome and the autosomes, no changes were detected in the frequency or intensity of placental Cot-1 holes.

  • Remodeling Adipose Tissue Through in Silico Modulation of Fat Storage For
    Chénard et al. BMC Systems Biology (2017) 11:60 DOI 10.1186/s12918-017-0438-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Remodeling adipose tissue through in silico modulation of fat storage for the prevention of type 2 diabetes Thierry Chénard2, Frédéric Guénard3, Marie-Claude Vohl3,4, André Carpentier5, André Tchernof4,6 and Rafael J. Najmanovich1* Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes is one of the leading non-infectious diseases worldwide and closely relates to excess adipose tissue accumulation as seen in obesity. Specifically, hypertrophic expansion of adipose tissues is related to increased cardiometabolic risk leading to type 2 diabetes. Studying mechanisms underlying adipocyte hypertrophy could lead to the identification of potential targets for the treatment of these conditions. Results: We present iTC1390adip, a highly curated metabolic network of the human adipocyte presenting various improvements over the previously published iAdipocytes1809. iTC1390adip contains 1390 genes, 4519 reactions and 3664 metabolites. We validated the network obtaining 92.6% accuracy by comparing experimental gene essentiality in various cell lines to our predictions of biomass production. Using flux balance analysis under various test conditions, we predict the effect of gene deletion on both lipid droplet and biomass production, resulting in the identification of 27 genes that could reduce adipocyte hypertrophy. We also used expression data from visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues to compare the effect of single gene deletions between adipocytes from each

  • Connecting Myelin-Related and Synaptic Dysfunction In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Connecting myelin-related and synaptic dysfunction in schizophrenia with SNP-rich Received: 24 October 2016 Accepted: 27 February 2017 gene expression hubs Published: 07 April 2017 Hedi Hegyi Combining genome-wide mapping of SNP-rich regions in schizophrenics and gene expression data in all brain compartments across the human life span revealed that genes with promoters most frequently mutated in schizophrenia are expression hubs interacting with far more genes than the rest of the genome. We summed up the differentially methylated “expression neighbors” of genes that fall into one of 108 distinct schizophrenia-associated loci with high number of SNPs. Surprisingly, the number of expression neighbors of the genes in these loci were 35 times higher for the positively correlating genes (32 times higher for the negatively correlating ones) than for the rest of the ~16000 genes. While the genes in the 108 loci have little known impact in schizophrenia, we identified many more known schizophrenia-related important genes with a high degree of connectedness (e.g. MOBP, SYNGR1 and DGCR6), validating our approach. Both the most connected positive and negative hubs affected synapse-related genes the most, supporting the synaptic origin of schizophrenia. At least half of the top genes in both the correlating and anti-correlating categories are cancer-related, including oncogenes (RRAS and ALDOA), providing further insight into the observed inverse relationship between the two diseases. Gene expression correlation, protein-protein interaction and other high-throughput experiments in the post-genomic era have revealed that genes tend to form complex, scale-free networks where most genes have a few connections with others and a few have a high number of interactions, commonly referred to as “hubs”, estab- lishing them as important central genes in these gene networks1.

X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) and reactivation (XCR) in female cells represent chromosome-wide transitions between active and inactive chromatin states. While XCI has long been studied and provided important insights into gene regulation, the dynamics and mechanisms underlying the reversal of stable chromatin silencing of X-linked genes are much less understood. Here, we use allele- specific transcriptomic approaches to study XCR during mouse iPSC reprogramming in order to elucidate the timing and mechanisms of chromosome-wide reversal of gene silencing. Results: We show that XCR is hierarchical, with subsets of genes reactivating early, late and very late.

Here we demonstrate that mouse pancreas size and islet β cell function are controlled by the ATP-dependent Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling coregulatory complex that physically associates with Pdx1, a diabetes- linked transcription factor essential to pancreatic morphogenesis and adult islet-cell function and maintenance. Early embryonic deletion of just the Swi/Snf Brg1 ATPase subunit reduced multipotent pancreatic progenitor cell proliferation and resulted in pancreas hypoplasia. In contrast, removal of both Swi/Snf ATPase subunits, Brg1 and Brm, was necessary to compromise adult islet β cell activity, which included whole animal glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia and impaired insulin secretion. Notably, lineage-tracing analysis revealed Swi/Snf-deficient β cells lost the ability to produce the mRNAs for insulin and other key metabolic genes without effecting the expression of many essential islet-enriched transcription factors.

  • A Noncoding, Regulatory Mutation Implicates HCFC1 in Nonsyndromic Intellectual Disability

Jolly,1,12 Saffron Willis-Owen,1,11 Alison Gardner,1,3 Raman Kumar,3 Evelyn Douglas,1 Cheryl Shoubridge,1 Dagmar Wieczorek,4 Andreas Tzschach,5 Monika Cohen,6 Anna Hackett,7 Michael Field,7 Guy Froyen,8 Hao Hu,5 Stefan A. Haas,5 Hans-Hilger Ropers,5 Vera M. Kalscheuer,5 Mark A. Corbett,1 and Jozef Gecz1,3,9,10,* The discovery of mutations causing human disease has so far been biased toward protein-coding regions. Having excluded all annotated coding regions, we performed targeted massively parallel resequencing of the nonrepetitive genomic linkage interval at Xq28 of family MRX3. We identified in the binding site of transcription factor YY1 a regulatory mutation that leads to overexpression of the chromatin- associated transcriptional regulator HCFC1. When tested on embryonic murine neural stem cells and embryonic hippocampal neurons, HCFC1 overexpression led to a significant increase of the production of astrocytes and a considerable reduction in neurite growth. Two other nonsynonymous, potentially deleterious changes have been identified by X-exome sequencing in individuals with intellectual disability, implicating HCFC1 in normal brain function. Intellectual disability is one of the most genetically hetero- lectual disability. Some males live semi-independently geneous human disorders.1 Among these, X-chromosome- with supervised employment, whereas others need full- linked intellectual disability (XLID) has been the best time supervision.
