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.

  • Transcriptome Analyses of Tumor-Adjacent Somatic Tissues Reveal Genes Co-Expressed with Transposable Elements Nicky Chung1†, G
    Chung et al. Mobile DNA (2019) 10:39 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13100-019-0180-5 RESEARCH Open Access Transcriptome analyses of tumor-adjacent somatic tissues reveal genes co-expressed with transposable elements Nicky Chung1†, G. M. Jonaid1†, Sophia Quinton1†, Austin Ross1†, Corinne E. Sexton1, Adrian Alberto2, Cody Clymer2, Daphnie Churchill2, Omar Navarro Leija 2 and Mira V. Han1,3* Abstract Background: Despite the long-held assumption that transposons are normally only expressed in the germ-line, recent evidence shows that transcripts of transposable element (TE) sequences are frequently found in the somatic cells. However, the extent of variation in TE transcript levels across different tissues and different individuals are unknown, and the co-expression between TEs and host gene mRNAs have not been examined. Results: Here we report the variation in TE derived transcript levels across tissues and between individuals observed in the non-tumorous tissues collected for The Cancer Genome Atlas. We found core TE co-expression modules consisting mainly of transposons, showing correlated expression across broad classes of TEs. Despite this co-expression within tissues, there are individual TE loci that exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns, when compared across tissues. The core TE modules were negatively correlated with other gene modules that consisted of immune response genes in interferon signaling. KRAB Zinc Finger Proteins (KZFPs) were over-represented gene members of the TE modules, showing positive correlation across multiple tissues. But we did not find overlap between TE-KZFP pairs that are co-expressed and TE-KZFP pairs that are bound in published ChIP-seq studies.

A non-viral osteogenic gene therapeutic vector system (‘hybrid vectors’) was generated, combining an improved bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) gene cassette and single pro-osteogenic microRNAs (miR-148b-3p, miR-20-5p, miR-590b-5p), driven by the U6 promoter. The vectors were tested in vitro for their osteogenic differentiation potential in C2C12 and C3H/10T1/2 cell lines, usingBMP2 alone as a control.

  • Enrichment of Conserved Synaptic Activity-Responsive Element in Neuronal Genes Predicts a Coordinated Response of MEF2, CREB and SRF
    Enrichment of Conserved Synaptic Activity-Responsive Element in Neuronal Genes Predicts a Coordinated Response of MEF2, CREB and SRF Fernanda M. Rodrı´guez-Tornos1,In˜ igo San Aniceto2, Beatriz Cubelos3, Marta Nieto1* 1 Centro Nacional de Biotecnologı´a (CNB-CSIC), Darwin 3, Campus de Cantoblanco, Madrid, Spain, 2 Facultad de Informa´tica, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Profesor Garcia Santesmases s/n, Madrid, Spain, 3 Centro de Biologı´a Molecular ‘Severo Ochoa’, Universidad Auto´noma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain Abstract A unique synaptic activity-responsive element (SARE) sequence, composed of the consensus binding sites for SRF, MEF2 and CREB, is necessary for control of transcriptional upregulation of the Arc gene in response to synaptic activity. We hypothesize that this sequence is a broad mechanism that regulates gene expression in response to synaptic activation and during plasticity; and that analysis of SARE-containing genes could identify molecular mechanisms involved in brain disorders. To search for conserved SARE sequences in the mammalian genome, we used the SynoR in silico tool, and found the SARE cluster predominantly in the regulatory regions of genes expressed specifically in the nervous system; most were related to neural development and homeostatic maintenance. Two of these SARE sequences were tested in luciferase assays and proved to promote transcription in response to neuronal activation. Supporting the predictive capacity of our candidate list, up-regulation of several SARE containing genes in response to neuronal activity was validated using external data and also experimentally using primary cortical neurons and quantitative real time RT-PCR. The list of SARE-containing genes includes several linked to mental retardation and cognitive disorders, and is significantly enriched in genes that encode mRNA targeted by FMRP (fragile X mental retardation protein).
