Project description:Non-syndromic facial asymmetry is commonly found in dentofacial deformity populations with skeletal malocclusions. Asymmetry of this type may result from imbalanced growth and function of both the jaw and associated muscles. Among the multiple genes that interact to affect the craniofacial musculoskeletal complex during pre and postnatal growth and development, NODAL signaling pathwy (NSP) genes are active in adult skeletal muscle and may be key factors in development, growth and maintenance of facial asymmetry. It is of interest to determine whether expression of NODAL pathway genes might differ in masseter muscles between individuals with malocclusion that have facial asymmetry and normal symmetry. Human Transcriptome 2.0 GeneChips (HTA2.0) were used to examine global gene expression in masster muscles between malocclusion subjects with posterior facial asymmetry and with normal facial symmetry. Eleven patients undergoing orthoganthic surgery were selected for comparison of masseter muscle gene expression on microarrays. Two subjects had posterior facial asymmetry (one with class II open bite and one with class III open bite malocclusion) and nine subjects had normal facial symmetry (three with class II open bite, two with class III open bite and four with class II deep bite malocclusion). RNA representative of total gene expression in masseter muscles of the malocclusion subjects with and without posterior facial asymmetry was prepared for labeling and hybridization on HTA2.0 chips. The two subjects with facial asymmetry clustered separately from eight other malocclusion subjects by a principle component analysis (PCA), even though one had a class II and the other a class III malocclusion. Sample 4L_Open_II is from a subject who has sleep apnea. Data from 4L_Open_II clustered independent of the asymmetry group and the eight other subjects of the symmetry group by PCA and was not included in analysis of differential expression with facial symmetry. Masseter muscles are paired jaw muscles (i.e. right and left masseter). In some cases, there was not sufficient quantity/quality of RNA from one side, thus the other side was used. Please note that the following information is provided in the 'source name' field of each sample record; subject ID number; either left or right masseter; J CRANIOFAC SURG_ID# corresponding to the data presented in the manuscript

Project description:We analyzed data from sequencing-based massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) retaining the strand orientation of the alignments. These analyses showed pervasive asymmetry in reporter signal from test element strand orientation. Present in elements derived from all regions of the human genome, we found test elements derived from gene bodies display concordant strand asymmetry with the sense orientation of the gene body. Furthermore, we observe that test elements form Alu sequence also present concordant strand asymmetry with Alu retrotransposon features. We establish sequence features that drive some of this asymmetry.

Project description:Asymmetric selection of single-stranded guide RNAs from double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) precursors is crucial for RNA silencing-mediated gene regulation. However, the precise mechanisms for small RNA asymmetry remain unclear, especially since asymmetric selection can still occur under depletion of putative asymmetry sensors, Drosophila R2D2 and mammalian Dicer. Here we report direct contribution of mammalian Argonaute 2 (Ago2) to microRNA (miRNA) asymmetry. Ago2 selects strands with 5´-uridine/adenosine and thermodynamically unstable 5´-ends in parallel through its two sensor regions, which contact 5´-nucleobase and 5´-phosphate(s) of the prospective guide strands, respectively. Consistently, miRNA asymmetry shows characteristic digital-analog superposed patterns reflecting 5'-end nucleotide identity and thermodynamic stability. Furthermore, we demonstrate that cancer-associated miRNA variations reprogram asymmetric selection. Finally, our study presents a model of this universal principle that will aid a comprehensive understanding of miRNA function and therapeutic reinvention of RNA silencing in precision medicine.

Project description:Left and Right phrenic nerves, which innervate the left and right diaphragm muscles, exhibit different innervation patterns. This left/right (L/R) asymmetry is established at the onset of innervation by a developmental program that requires Nodal. Phenotype analysis suggests that the cervical motoneurons, which innervate the diaphragm, have a L/R imprint that contributes to set the L/R asymmetries of innervation. We used microarray to analyze the expression profile of left and right cervical motoneurons before diaphragm innervation

Project description:Hemispheric asymmetry in neuronal processes is a fundamental feature of the human brain and drives symptom lateralization in Parkinson's disease (PD), but its molecular determinants are unknown. Here, we determine epigenetic changes and genes involved in hemispheric asymmetry in the healthy and PD brain. Neurons of healthy individuals exhibit numerous hemispheric differences in DNA methylation, affecting genes implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. In PD patients, hemispheric asymmetry in DNA methylation is even greater and involves many PD risk genes. Moreover, the lateralization of clinical PD symptoms involves epigenetic, transcriptional, and proteomic differences across hemispheres that affect neurodevelopment, immune activation, and synaptic transmission. In aging, healthy neurons demonstrate a progressive loss of hemisphere asymmetry in epigenomes that is amplified in PD. For PD patients, a long disease course is associated with retaining more hemispheric asymmetry in neuronal epigenomes. Hemispheric differences in epigenetic gene regulation are prevalent in neurons and may affect the progression and symptoms of PD.

Project description:Skeletal muscle is a highly structured and differentiated tissue responsible for voluntary movement and metabolic regulation. Muscles however, are heterogeneous and depending on their location, speed of contraction, fatiguability and function, can be broadly subdivided into fast and slow twitch as well as subspecialized muscles, with each group expressing common as well as specific proteins. Congenital myopathies are a group of non-inflammatory non-dystrophic muscle diseases caused by mutations in a number of genes, leading to a weak muscle phenotype. In most cases specific muscles types are affected, with preferential involvement of fast twitch muscles as well as extraocular and facial muscles. The aim of this study is to compare the proteome of three groups of muscles from wild type and transgenic mice carrying compound heterozygous mutations in Ryr1 identified in a patient with a severe congenital myopathy. Qualitative proteomic analysis was performed by comparing the relative fold change of proteins in fast twitch and slow twitch muscles. Subsequently we compared the proteome of different muscles in wild type and Ryr1 mutant mice. Finally, we applied a quantitative analysis to determine the stoichiometry of the main protein components involved in excitation contraction coupling and calcium regulation. Our results show that recessive Ryr1 mutations do not only cause a change in RyR1 protein content in skeletal muscle, but they are accompanied by profound changes in protein expression in the different muscle types and that the latter effect may be responsible in part, for the weak muscle phenotype observed in patients.

Project description:Background Hemispheric asymmetry in neuronal processes is a fundamental feature of the human brain and drives symptom lateralization in Parkinson's disease (PD), but its molecular determinants are unknown. Here, we identify divergent epigenetic patterns involved in hemispheric asymmetry by profiling DNA methylation in isolated prefrontal cortex neurons from control and PD brain hemispheres. DNA methylation is fine-mapped at enhancers and promoters, genome-wide, by targeted bisulfite sequencing in two independent sample cohorts. Results We find that neurons of the human prefrontal cortex exhibit hemispheric differences in DNA methylation. Hemispheric asymmetry in neuronal DNA methylation patterns is largely mediated by differential CpH methylation, and chromatin conformation analysis finds that it targets thousands of genes. With aging, there is a loss of hemispheric asymmetry in neuronal epigenomes, such that hemispheres epigenetically converge in late life. In neurons of PD patients, hemispheric asymmetry in DNA methylation is greater than in controls and involves many PD risk genes. Epigenetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic differences between PD hemispheres correspond to the lateralization of PD symptoms, with abnormalities being most prevalent in the hemisphere matched to side of symptom predominance. Hemispheric asymmetry and symptom lateralization in PD is linked to genes affecting neurodevelopment, immune activation, and synaptic transmission. PD patients with a long disease course have greater hemispheric asymmetry in neuronal epigenomes than those with a short disease course. Conclusions Hemispheric differences in epigenetic gene regulation are prevalent in neurons and may affect the progression and symptoms of PD.
