Laura Bernardini1, Viola Alesi1,2, Sara Loddo1,2, Antonio Novelli1, Irene Bottillo1, Agatino Battaglia3, Maria Cristina Digilio4, Giuseppe Zampino5, Adam Ertel2, Paolo Fortina*,2,6, Saul Surrey7 and Bruno Dallapiccola1 We used Affymetrix 6.0 GeneChip SNP arrays to characterize copy number variations (CNVs) in a cohort of 70 patients previously characterized on lower-density oligonucleotide arrays affected by idiopathic mental retardation and dysmorphic features. The SNP array platform includes B900 000 SNP probes and 900 000 non-SNP oligonucleotide probes at an average distance of 0.7 Kb, which facilitates coverage of the whole genome, including coding and noncoding regions. The high density of probes is critical for detecting small CNVs, but it can lead to data interpretation problems. To reduce the number of false positives, parameters were set to consider only imbalances 475 Kb encompassing at least 80 probe sets. The higher resolution of the SNP array platform confirmed the increased ability to detect small CNVs, although more than 80% of these CNVs overlapped to copy number ‘neutral’ polymorphism regions and 4.4% of them did not contain known genes. In our cohort of 70 patients, of the 51 previously evaluated as ‘normal’ on the Agilent 44K array, the SNP array platform disclosed six additional CNV changes, including three in three patients, which may be pathogenic. -

China Received September 12, 2019; Accepted October 22, 2020 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2020.12320 Abstract. Glioma is the most common type of brain tumor APC expression with a good overall survival rate. UALCAN and is associated with a high mortality rate. Despite recent analysis using TCGA data of glioblastoma multiforme and the advances in treatment options, the overall prognosis in patients GSE25632 and GSE103229 microarray datasets showed that with glioma remains poor. Studies have suggested that circular hsa‑miR‑142‑3p/hsa‑miR‑590‑5p was upregulated and APC (circ)RNAs serve important roles in the development and was downregulated. Thus, hsa‑miR‑142‑3p/hsa‑miR‑590‑5p‑ progression of glioma and may have potential as therapeutic APC‑related circ/ceRNA axes may be important in glioma, targets. However, the expression profiles of circRNAs and their and hsa_circ_0005114 interacted with both of these miRNAs. functions in glioma have rarely been studied. The present study Functional analysis showed that hsa_circ_0005114 was aimed to screen differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) involved in insulin secretion, while APC was associated with between glioma and normal brain tissues using sequencing the Wnt signaling pathway. In conclusion, hsa_circ_0005114‑ data collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database miR‑142‑3p/miR‑590‑5p‑APC ceRNA axes may be potential (GSE86202 and GSE92322 datasets) and explain their mecha‑ targets for the treatment of glioma. -

GATA2 Regulates Mast Cell Identity and Responsiveness to Antigenic Stimulation by Promoting Chromatin Remodeling at Super- Enhancers
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-20766-0 OPEN GATA2 regulates mast cell identity and responsiveness to antigenic stimulation by promoting chromatin remodeling at super- enhancers Yapeng Li1, Junfeng Gao 1, Mohammad Kamran1, Laura Harmacek2, Thomas Danhorn 2, Sonia M. Leach1,2, ✉ Brian P. O’Connor2, James R. Hagman 1,3 & Hua Huang 1,3 1234567890():,; Mast cells are critical effectors of allergic inflammation and protection against parasitic infections. We previously demonstrated that transcription factors GATA2 and MITF are the mast cell lineage-determining factors. However, it is unclear whether these lineage- determining factors regulate chromatin accessibility at mast cell enhancer regions. In this study, we demonstrate that GATA2 promotes chromatin accessibility at the super-enhancers of mast cell identity genes and primes both typical and super-enhancers at genes that respond to antigenic stimulation. We find that the number and densities of GATA2- but not MITF-bound sites at the super-enhancers are several folds higher than that at the typical enhancers. Our studies reveal that GATA2 promotes robust gene transcription to maintain mast cell identity and respond to antigenic stimulation by binding to super-enhancer regions with dense GATA2 binding sites available at key mast cell genes. 1 Department of Immunology and Genomic Medicine, National Jewish Health, Denver, CO 80206, USA. 2 Center for Genes, Environment and Health, National Jewish Health, Denver, CO 80206, USA. 3 Department of Immunology and Microbiology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, ✉ CO 80045, USA. email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2021) 12:494 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-20766-0 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-20766-0 ast cells (MCs) are critical effectors in immunity that at key MC genes. -
Mirna Regulons Associated with Synaptic Function

Hatzigeorgiou2,3, Epaminondas Doxakis1* 1 Basic Neurosciences Division, Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens, Athens, Greece, 2 Institute of Molecular Oncology, Biomedical Sciences Research Center ‘‘Alexander Fleming’’ Vari, Greece, 3 Department of Computer and Communication Engineering, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece Abstract Differential RNA localization and local protein synthesis regulate synapse function and plasticity in neurons. MicroRNAs are a conserved class of regulatory RNAs that control mRNA stability and translation in tissues. They are abundant in the brain but the extent into which they are involved in synaptic mRNA regulation is poorly known. Herein, a computational analysis of the coding and 39UTR regions of 242 presynaptic and 304 postsynaptic proteins revealed that 91% of them are predicted to be microRNA targets. Analysis of the longest 39UTR isoform of synaptic transcripts showed that presynaptic mRNAs have significantly longer 39UTR than control and postsynaptic mRNAs. In contrast, the shortest 39UTR isoform of postsynaptic mRNAs is significantly shorter than control and presynaptic mRNAs, indicating they avert microRNA regulation under specific conditions. Examination of microRNA binding site density of synaptic 39UTRs revealed that they are twice as dense as the rest of protein-coding transcripts and that approximately 50% of synaptic transcripts are predicted to have more than five different microRNA sites. An interaction map exploring the association of microRNAs and their targets revealed that a small set of ten microRNAs is predicted to regulate 77% and 80% of presynaptic and postsynaptic transcripts, respectively. -
