Mouse Troap Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Troap Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Troap knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Troap gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001162506 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000032783 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 15. 14 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TGA stop codon in exon 14 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000230054). Exon 4~10 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 4 starts from about 16.72% of the coding region. Exon 4~10 covers 35.73% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~3963 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

  • TROAP Switches DYRK1 Activity to Drive Hepatocellular Carcinoma
    Li et al. Cell Death and Disease (2021) 12:125 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-021-03422-3 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access TROAP switches DYRK1 activity to drive hepatocellular carcinoma progression Lei Li1,2,3,Jia-RuWei4, Ye Song5,ShuoFang6,YanyuDu6,ZhuoLi1, Ting-Ting Zeng1,Ying-HuiZhu 1, Yan Li 1 and Xin-Yuan Guan 1,2,3 Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the common malignancy and lacks effective therapeutic targets. Here, we demonstrated that ectopic expression of trophinin-associated protein (TROAP) dramatically drove HCC cell growth assessed by foci formation in monolayer culture, colony formation in soft agar and orthotopic liver transplantation in nude mice. Inversely, silencing TROAP expression with short-hairpin RNA attenuated the malignant proliferation of HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. Next, mechanistic investigation revealed that TROAP directly bound to dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A/B (DYRK1A/B), resulting in the cytoplasmic retention of proteins DYRK1A/B and promoting cell cycle process via activation of Akt/GSK-3β signaling. Combination of cisplatin with an inhibitor of DYRK1 AZ191 effectively inhibited tumor growth in mouse model for HCC cells with high level of TROAP. Clinically, TROAP was significantly upregulated by miR-142-5p in HCC tissues, which predicted the poor survival of patients with HCC. Therefore, TROAP/DYRK1/Akt axis may be a promising therapeutic target and prognostic indicator for patients with HCC. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction 19952.

Unlike most of AID/APOBEC, however, APOBEC2’s function remains elusive. Previous research has implicated APOBEC2 in diverse organisms and cellular processes such as muscle biology (in Mus musculus), regeneration (in Danio rerio), and development (in Xenopus laevis). APOBEC2 has also been implicated in cancer. However the enzymatic activity, substrate or physiological target(s) of APOBEC2 are unknown. For this thesis, I have combined Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques with state-of-the-art molecular biology to determine the physiological targets of APOBEC2. Using a cell culture muscle differentiation system, and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) by polyA capture, I demonstrated that unlike the AID/APOBEC family member APOBEC1, APOBEC2 is not an RNA editor. Using the same system combined with enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (eRRBS) analyses I showed that, unlike the AID/APOBEC family member AID, APOBEC2 does not act as a 5-methyl-C deaminase.

  • Dual-Specificity, Tyrosine Phosphorylation-Regulated Kinases
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Dual-Specificity, Tyrosine Phosphorylation-Regulated Kinases (DYRKs) and cdc2-Like Kinases (CLKs) in Human Disease, an Overview Mattias F. Lindberg and Laurent Meijer * Perha Pharmaceuticals, Perharidy Peninsula, 29680 Roscoff, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinases (DYRK1A, 1B, 2-4) and cdc2- like kinases (CLK1-4) belong to the CMGC group of serine/threonine kinases. These protein ki- nases are involved in multiple cellular functions, including intracellular signaling, mRNA splicing, chromatin transcription, DNA damage repair, cell survival, cell cycle control, differentiation, ho- mocysteine/methionine/folate regulation, body temperature regulation, endocytosis, neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, etc. Abnormal expression and/or activity of some of these kinases, DYRK1A in particular, is seen in many human nervous system diseases, such as cognitive deficits associated with Down syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease and related diseases, tauopathies, demen- tia, Pick’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, Phelan-McDermid syndrome, autism, and CDKL5 deficiency disorder. DYRKs and CLKs are also involved in dia- betes, abnormal folate/methionine metabolism, osteoarthritis, several solid cancers (glioblastoma, breast, and pancreatic cancers) and leukemias (acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute megakaryoblas- Citation: Lindberg, M.F.; Meijer, L. tic leukemia), viral infections (influenza, HIV-1, HCMV, HCV, CMV, HPV), as well as infections Dual-Specificity, Tyrosine caused by unicellular parasites (Leishmania, Trypanosoma, Plasmodium).

  • Dual RNA-Seq Analysis of Mus Musculus and Leishmania Donovani Transcriptomes
    Dual RNA-Seq analysis of Mus musculus and Leishmania donovani transcriptomes ALEXANDRA HART MASTER OF SCIENCE BY RESEARCH UNIVERSITY OF YORK BIOLOGY DECEMBER 2017 ABSTRACT Parasitic protozoa of the genus Leishmania cause a spectrum of disease, affecting 12 million people worldwide. This project aimed to investigate the effect of Leishmania donovani infection on the gene expression of healthy/WT (Black 6) and immunocompromised (RAG2KO) mice. Differences in the gene expression of parasites in inoculum and tissue were also elucidated. WT and RAG mice were infected using an L. donovani inoculum, and were euthanised after 28 days. Harvested spleens (and the inoculum) were used to generate RNA samples, from which mRNA was isolated and purified. Transcriptome data was generated using dual RNA-Seq approaches from the mRNA samples. After appropriate pre-processing, data underwent a number of bioinformatic analyses to explore differential gene expression, such as Gene Ontology, Gene Set Enrichment, and KEGG Pathway analysis. Comparison of different mouse spleen transcriptomes revealed that even in uninfected mice, WT mice more highly express genes related to immunoglobulins when compared with their immunocompromised counterparts. Healthy mice were found to react to infection through the induction of inflammatory response, and the production of NOX generating species. RAG mice still upregulated immunoglobulin-related genes in response to infection, despite their inability to generate antibodies, T-cells, and B-cells. However, RAG modulation of haeme and iron metabolism may contribute to defence against the parasites despite a lack of acquired immunity. Differences in the amastin, the key glycoprotein on the surface on intracellular-stage parasites, are apparent between the inoculum and tissue parasites, which may reflect microenvironment adaptation.

  • Leveraging Models of Cell Regulation and GWAS Data in Integrative Network-Based Association Studies
    PERSPECTIVE Leveraging models of cell regulation and GWAS data in integrative network-based association studies Andrea Califano1–3,11, Atul J Butte4,5, Stephen Friend6, Trey Ideker7–9 & Eric Schadt10,11 Over the last decade, the genome-wide study of both heritable and straightforward: within the space of all possible genetic and epigenetic somatic human variability has gone from a theoretical concept to a variants, those contributing to a specific trait or disease likely have broadly implemented, practical reality, covering the entire spectrum some coalescent properties, allowing their effect to be functionally of human disease. Although several findings have emerged from these canalized via the cell communication and cell regulatory machin- studies1, the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have ery that allows distinct cells to interact and regulates their behavior. been mostly sobering.
