Project description:In order to unveil the molecular mechanisms at play during the development of autistic brains, we studied cells that are representative of the very early stages of ontogenesis, namely stem cells. We used nasal olfactory stem cells that are readily accessible and can be biopsied safely. We recruited a relatively homogeneous cohort of nine adults with severe autism and low to very low developmental disabilities, and included two more adults with either Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism, to enlarge the spectrum. The cohort was then paired with 11 age- and gender-matched control individuals. Stem cells were purified, banked and used for a transcriptomic study.

Project description:The molecular pathogenesis of autism is complex and involves numerous genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, metabolic, and physiological alterations. Elucidating and understanding the molecular processes underlying the pathogenesis of autism is critical for effective clinical management and prevention of this disorder. The goal of this study is to investigate key molecular alterations postulated to play a role in autism and their role in the pathophysiology of autism. In this study we demonstrate that DNA isolated from the cerebellum of BTBR T+tf/J mice, a relevant mouse model of autism, and from human post-mortem cerebellum of individuals with autism, are both characterized by an increased levels of 8-oxo-7-hydrodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), 5-methylcytosine (5mC), and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). The increase in 8-oxodG and 5mC content was associated with a markedly reduced expression of the 8-oxoguanine DNA-glycosylase 1 (Ogg1) and increased expression of de novo DNA methyltransferases 3a and 3b (Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b). Interestingly, a rise in the level of 5hmC occurred without changes in the expression of ten-eleven translocation expression 1 (Tet1) and Tet2 genes, but significantly correlated with the presence of 8-oxodG in DNA. This finding and similar elevation in 8-oxodG in cerebellum of individuals with autism and in the BTBR T+tf/J mouse model warrant future large-scale studies to specifically address the role of genetic alterations in OGG1 in pathogenesis of autism. Gene expression profiles in the cerebellum of 8 weeks old BTBR T+tf/J mice that exhibit an autism-like behavioral phenotype and control C57BL/6J mice were examined using high-throughput Agilent whole genome 8x60K mouse microarrays.

Project description:Smoking is the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Cohort epidemiological studies have demonstrated that women are more vulnerable to cigarette-smoking induced diseases than their male counterparts, however, the molecular basis of these differences has been remained unknown to date. In this study, we explored if there were differences in the gene expression patterns between male and female smokers, and how these patterns might reflect different gender-specific responses to the stress of smoking. Global gene expression was measured in the peripheral blood cells of 12 each male and female smokers and non-smokers using the Agilent one-color workflow and human whole genome microarrays.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in cancer progression. In this study, the lncRNA profiling were analyzed in chemoresistant and sensitive breast cancer cells. We found a group of dysregulated lncRNAs in chemoresistant cells. Expression of dysregulated lncRNAs are correlated with dysregulated mRNAs, and enriched in GO and KEGG pathways related with cancer progression and chemoresistance development. Within those lncRNA-mRNA interactions, some lncRNAs may cis-regulate neighboring protein coding genes and involved in chemoresistance. The lncRNA NONHSAT028712 was then validated to regulate nearby CDK2 and interfere with cell cycle and chemoresistance. Furthermore, we identified another group of lncRNAs trans-regulated gene expression via interacting with different transcription factors (TF). Whereby NONHSAT057282 and NONHSAG023333 was found to modulate chemoresistance and most likely interacted with ELF1 and E2F1 respectively. In conclusion, this study reported for the first time the lncRNA expression patterns in chemoresistant breast cancer cells, and provided a group of novel lncRNA targets in mediating chemoresistance development in both cis- and trans- action mode.

Project description:Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a very rare and aggressive stem cell disease that mainly occurs in young children. RAS activation constitutes the core component of oncogenic signaling. In addition, the leukemic blasts of a quarter of JMML patients present with monosomy 7 (-7), whereas more than half of the patients show enhanced age-adjusted fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the current standard of care. This results in an event-free survival of 50 - 60%, indicating that novel molecular driven therapeutic options are urgently needed. Using gene expression profiling in an extensive series of 82 patient samples, we aimed at understanding the molecular biology behind JMML and identified a previously unrecognized molecular subgroup characterized by high LIN28B expression. Interestingly, LIN28B overexpression was significantly correlated with higher HbF levels whereas patients with -7 seldom showed enhanced LIN28B expression. In line with LIN28Bâ??s role as mediator of fetal hematopoiesis, this explains the biology behind the observation that patients with -7 are rarely diagnosed with high age-adjusted HbF levels. In addition, this new fetal-like JMML subgroup presented with reduced levels of most members of the let-7 microRNA family and showed characteristic overexpression of genes involved in fetal hematopoiesis and stem cell self-renewal. Finally, high LIN28B expression was associated with poor clinical outcome in our JMML patient series, but not independent from other prognostic factors such as age and age-adjusted HbF levels. In conclusion, we identified LIN28B as a crucial molecular player at the heart of a novel fetal-like subgroup in JMML. Gene expression was measured on Agilent in 44 JMML patients and 7 healthy donors in the discovery cohort. A validation cohort of 38 patients and 9 healthy donors was measured on Affymetrix. All patient data can be found in Supplementary Table S1.

Project description:Type III adenylyl cyclase (AC3, ADCY3) is predominantly enriched in neuronal primary cilia throughout the central nervous system (CNS). Genome-wide association studies in humans have associated ADCY3 with major depressive disorder and autistic spectrum disorder, both of which exhibit sexual dimorphism. To date, it is unclear how AC3 affects protein phosphorylation and signal networks in central neurons, and what causes the sexual dimorphism of autism. We employed a mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomic approach to quantitatively profile differences in phosphorylation between inducible AC3 knockout (KO) and wild type (WT), male and female mice. In total, we identified 4655 phosphopeptides from 1756 proteins, among which 565 phosphopeptides from 322 proteins were repetitively detected in all samples. Comparison of AC3 KO and WT datasets revealed that phosphopeptides with motifs matching proline-directed kinases’ recognition sites had a lower abundance in the KO dataset than in WTs. We detected 14 phosphopeptides restricted to WT dataset (i.e., from Spast and Ppp1r14a) and 35 exclusively in KOs (i.e., from Sptan1, Arhgap20, Arhgap44, and Pde1b). Moreover, 95 phosphopeptides were identified only in female dataset and 26 only in males. Label-free MS spectrum quantification using Skyline further identified phosphopeptides that had high expression abundance in each sample group. In total, over 200 modifications were gender-biased and had increased expression in females relative to males. 29% gender-biased phosphopeptides were from autism-associated proteins, including Dlg1, Dlg4, Dlgap2, Syn1, Syngap1, Ctnna1, Ctnnd1, Ctnnd2, Pkp4, and Arvcf. These autism proteins were well-connected in protein-protein interaction network that centered around Dlg4. This study provided the first phosphoproteomics evidence, suggesting that gender-biased post-translational phosphorylation may be implicated in the sexual dimorphism of autism.

Project description:Firstly our study demonstrated that TSA can inhibits cell proliferation, induces cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in CCA cell lines in vitro. To identify the target transcripts of TSA to suppress CCA tumorigenesis, mRNA expression profiles were determined by microarray analysis. We chose TFK-1 cells treated by TSA in indicated concentration (IC50) 48 hours for the microarray. Then we found out TACC3 was downregulated, and demonstrated that TACC3 was high expression and may played a role as an target of TSA in inhibiting CCA cells proliferation and migration via in vitro and vivo experiments. We chose TFK-1 cells treated by TSA in indicated concentration (IC50) 48 hours as the experiment sample and without TSA as the control sample to do this microarray analysis for three times. Then regulated genes would be tested to investigate the potential roles in CCA tumorigenesis,

Project description:Gender effects in the incidence of childhood cancers have been described but the aetiology still needs to be fully examined. Given the latent period of e.g. leukemia, its very early onset in childhood might indicate the foetal period as a critical period. We consequently hypothesize that gender-specific differences in childhood cancer incidence (males have a much higher incidence of leukaemia and lymphomas) may be due to gender-specific responses to exposure to environmental carcinogens in utero. We considered that whole genome transcriptomics analysis in cord blood may provide mechanistic insight into possible gender-specific effects of carcinogen exposure in utero. Thus, the objective of the current study was to investigate whether transcriptomic responses to dietary genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens (i.e. acrylamide and endocrine disruptors) as analyzed in umbilical cord blood samples, demonstrate gender-specific mechanisms-of-action relevant for chemical carcinogenesis. For internal exposure assessment, the CALUXM-BM-. assay was applied for measuring dioxin(-like), androgen(-like) and estrogen(-like) exposure, and acrylamide-hemoglobin adduct levels were determined by mass spectrometry. To link gene expression to an established phenotypic biomarker of cancer risk, micronuclei frequencies were investigated in T-lymphocytes. While exposure levels did not differ significantly between sexes at birth, important gender-specific differences were observed in gene expressions associated with these exposures. These genes appeared linked with cell cycle-related processes and general cellular processes such as (post) translation, as well as with immune-related pathways. Moreover, oppositely correlating leukemia and lymphoma genes between male and female newborns were identified in relation to the different biomarkers of exposure which might be relevant to male-specific predisposition to develop these cancers in childhood. This study reveals different transcriptomic responses to environmental carcinogens between the sexes In particular, male-specific TNF-alpha-NF-kB signaling upon dioxin exposure and activation of the Wnt pathway in boys upon acrylamide exposure might represent possible mechanistic explanations for the male predominance in the incidence of childhood leukemia. Umbilical cord blood samples were collected immediately after birth from the cord vein of 45 male and 66 female babies whose mothers participated in the Norwegian BraMat cohort. For analyses, each individual cord blood sample was labelled by means of Cyanine-5 and competitively hybridized against a common reference sample (pooled RNA cord blood samples, labelled with Cyanine-3) onto Agilent 4x44k human oligonucleotide microarrays (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions.

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by a high degree of genetic heterogeneity. Genomic studies identified common pathological processes underlying the heterogeneous clinical manifestations of ASD, and transcriptome analyses revealed that gene networks involved in synapse development, neuronal activity and immune function are deregulated in ASD. Mouse models provide unique tools to investigate the neurobiological basis of ASD. Here we used the BTBR (BTBR T+ Itpr3tf/J) ASD mouse model to identify conserved ASD-related molecular signatures. Gene expression in the BTBR mouse prefrontal cortex was measured by microarrays and compared to the gene expression profile of C57Bl6/J controls (5 months old, n= 3 mice per group).
