Project description:The Regulators of Complement Activation (RCA) gene cluster comprises several tandemly arranged genes which share functions in the innate immune system. We aimed to investigate the structural organisation of the RCA gene cluster to identify key regulatory elements that influence the expression of CR2 and other genes in this important immunomodulatory region. Using 4C-seq, we captured extensive CTCF-mediated chromatin looping across the RCA gene cluster in B cells and showed these were organised into two topological associated domains (TADs). Interestingly, the inter-TAD boundary was located within the CR1 gene at a well-characterised segmental duplication. Additionally, we mapped numerous gene-gene and gene-enhancer interactions across the region, revealing extensive co-regulation. Importantly, we uncovered an intergenic enhancer and functionally demonstrated this element upregulates two RCA members (CR2 and CD55) in B cells simultaneously. Here, we highlight novel, long-range mechanisms whereby SLE susceptibility may be influenced by genetic variants, and the important contribution of chromatin topology to gene regulation and complex genetic disease.

Project description:Introduction: In human eyes, ocular enlargement/ growth, reflects active scleral extracellular matrix remodeling. miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by base pairing with target sequences, and serve as nodes of signaling networks. We hypothesized that the sclera, like most tissues, expresses miRNAs, some of which modulate genes regulating ocular growth. In this study, the scleral miRNA expression profile of rapidly growing human fetal eyes was compared with that of stable adult donor eyes using high-throughput microarray and quantitative PCR analyses. Results: Human sclera expressed several miRNAs. Microarray comparison of adult and fetal samples revealed many to be differentially expressed (p<0.01, min p= 6.5x10^11), with increased expression of collagen specific mir-214, let-7c, let-7e, mir-103, mir-107, and mir-98 in fetal sclera subsequently confirmed (1.5 to 4 fold changes, p<0.01). For both adult and fetal samples, no significant differences in miRNA expression profiles of sclera from posterior and peripheral ocular regions were observed. Conclusion: This is the first study to catalogue miRNA expression in human sclera. The sclera expresses several miRNAs, some of which show age-related differential regulation, higher in rapidly growing fetal eyes, consistent with a role in ocular growth regulation. These findings may be useful for linking scleral miRNA expression with potential manipulation in disorders such as scleral ectasia/ axial myopia.

Project description:The ribosome-tethered N-terminal acetyltransferase A (NatA) acetylates 52% of soluble proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. This co-translational shielding of the N-terminus stabilizes diverse cytosolic plant proteins. The Huntingtin yeast partner K (HYPK) facilitates NatA activity in planta, but in vitro, the N-terminal a-helix1 of HYPK inhibits NatA in the ternary NatA/HYPK complex. Consequently, the mechanism of HYPK function in plants was unknown. To understand the regulatory function of HYPK at the molecular level, we genetically engineered CRISPR/Cas9 mutants expressing either a non-functional HYPK (hypk-cr1) or an N-terminally deleted HYPK version (hypk-cr2). Like NatA-activity-depleted mutants, the hypk-cr1 and –cr2 mutants were more tolerant to drought stress and suffered from global proteome destabilization. Surprisingly, we found that absence of HYPK led to destabilization of the NatA subunits in leaves but not in roots of hypk-cr1. Further genetic and molecular evidence demonstrated that the stability of NatA subunits in leaves is mainly controlled by the C-terminal UBA domain of HYPK. While retaining the UBA domain, NatA activity was still impaired in hypk-cr2 leaves, implying that the N terminus of HYPK also contributes to the regulation of NatA activity. Furthermore, crossing of hypk-cr1 with a NatA-depleted mutant uncovered that HYPK promotes NatA activity not only by stabilizing NatA. Taken together, the activity-promoting function of the HYPK N-terminus depends on the binding of HYPK to NatA via the UBA domain, and is critical for NatA substrates starting with various amino acids. Our findings improve our understanding of the NatA regulatory subunit HYPK.

Project description:Rabbits have been widely used for studying ocular physiology and pathology due to their relatively large eye size and similar structures with human eyes. Various rabbit ocular disease models, such as dry eye, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma, have been established. Despite the growing application of proteomics in vision research using rabbit ocular models, there is no spectral assay library for rabbit eye proteome publicly available. Here, we generated spectral assay libraries for rabbit eye compartments, including conjunctiva, cornea, iris, retina, sclera, vitreous humor, and tears using fractionated samples and ion mobility separation enabling deep proteome coverage. The rabbit eye spectral assay library includes 9,153 protein groups, and 107,898 peptides. We present the data as a freely available community resource for proteomic studies in the vision field.

Project description:Purpose: MET is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that has been considered a druggable target in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To understand the mechanisms of resistance to MET-TKIs and establish therapeutic strategies, we developed an in vitro model using capmatinib-resistant cell lines (EBC-CR1, CR2, and CR3) derived from the MET-amplified NSCLC cell line EBC-1. Methods: We established capmatinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines from the MET-amplified NSCLC cell line EBC-1 and identified alternative signaling pathways using 3’mRNA sequencing and human phospho-RTK arrays. Copy number alterations were evaluated by quantitative PCR and cell proliferation assay; activation of RTKs and downstream effectors were compared between the parental cell line EBC-1 and the EBC-CR1, -CR2, and -CR3 resistant cell lines. Results: We found that epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mRNA expression and protein activation were increased in EBC-CR1–3 cells compared to EBC-1 cells. EBC-CR1 cells showed EGFR-dependent growth and sensitivity to afatinib, an irreversible EGFR TKI. EBC-CR2 cells, which overexpressed the EGFR-MET heterodimer, responded dramatically to the combination of capmatinib and the phosphoinositide-3 kinase catalytic subunit α (PIK3CA) inhibitor afatinib. In addition, EBC-CR3 cells, which had activated EGFR along with amplified PIK3CA, were sensitive to the combination of afatinib and the PI3Kα inhibitor. Conclusions: Our in vitro studies suggested that activation of EGFR signaling and/or genetic alteration of downstream effectors like PIK3CA were alternative resistance mechanisms used by capmatinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines. In addition, combined treatments with MET, EGFR, and PI3Kα inhibitors may be an effective therapeutic strategy in MET-TKI-resistant NSCLC patients.

Project description:Although there have been studies conducted on cornea and retina growth and development, postnatal gene expression studies on sclera growth during postnatal growth has not been well characterised. Given that the mouse genome has 85% homology to the human genome and has been completely sequenced, mouse model for the study of ocular growth has advantages over other animal models. Thus, we aimed to study the biology and genetics behind sclera growth during post-natal development in Balb/cJ mice as a means to understand genetic changes that cause scleral growth and development during post-natal eye development The purpose of this study was to identify the genes underlying the development of mouse sclera post-natal growth of the posterior chamber of the eye using microarray Total RNA was isolated from single cryogenically ground mouse sclera (n=30, 6 samples each from week 1-, 2-, 3-, 6-and 8-old mice), reverse-transcribed and hybridized onto a Affymetrix mouse gene 1.0 ST array.We sought to use microarray to determine the gene expression profiles of mouse sclera from different age groups and identify the developmental genes that are involved in postnatal ocular growth.

Project description:By differential gene expression analysis followed by protein expression and functional studies, we define that the naive T cells having divided the least since thymic emigration express complement receptors (CR1 and CR2) known to bind complement C3b- and C3d-decorated microbial products and, following activation, produce IL-8 (CXCL8), a major chemoattractant for neutrophils in bacterial defense. We also observed an IL-8–producing memory T cell subpopulation coexpressing CR1 and CR2 and with a gene expression signature resembling that of RTEs.
