Project description:The Aster-C protein (encoded by the Gramd1c gene) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein that has been reported to transport cholesterol from the plasma membrane to the ER . Although there is a clear role for the closely-related Aster-B protein in cholesterol transport and downstream esterification in the adrenal gland, the specific role for Aster-C in tissue cholesterol homeostasis is not well understood. Here, we have examined whole body cholesterol balance in mice globally lacking Aster-C under low or high dietary cholesterol conditions.transport and metabolism under divergent dietary cholesterol conditions. These results strongly suggest that Aster-C alone is not sufficient to control whole body cholesterol balance, but can modestly impact circulating cortisol and bile acid levels when dietary cholesterol is limited.

Project description:Intestinal cholesterol absorption is an important determinant of systemic cholesterol homeostasis. Niemann-Pick C1 Like 1 (NPC1L1), the target of the drug ezetimibe, is a critical player in dietary cholesterol uptake. But how cholesterol moves within the cell downstream of NPC1L1 is unknown. Here we show that the nonvesicular sterol transporters Aster-B and -C cooperate with NPC1L1 to deliver dietary cholesterol from the gut lumen to the enterocyte ER for chylomicron packaging. Aster proteins are recruited to the enterocyte plasma membrane (PM) in response to NPC1L1-dependent cholesterol accumulation. Mice lacking Asters in intestine have impaired cholesterol absorption, and reduced plasma cholesterol. NanoSIMS imaging and tracer studies reveal delayed lipid trafficking into chylomicrons in Aster-deficient enterocytes. Interestingly, in addition to potently blocking NPC1L1, ezetimibe is also a low-affinity inhibitor of Aster-B and -C but not -A, and the structure of the Aster-C-ezetimibe complex reveals the basis for this selectivity. Our findings support a model in which NPC1L1 enriches dietary cholesterol at the apical PM, and ASTERs subsequently traffic this cholesterol to the ER. The findings identify the enterocyte Aster pathway as potential target for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Alessandra Ferrari, PhD

Project description:We performed shallow whole genome sequencing (WGS) on circulating free (cf)DNA extracted from plasma or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and shallow WGS on the tissue DNA extracted from the biopsy in order to evaluate the correlation between the two biomaterials. After library construction and sequencing (Hiseq3000 or Ion Proton), copy number variations were called with WisecondorX.

Project description:In cell models, changes in the “accessible” pool of plasma membrane (PM) cholesterol are linked with the regulation of ER sterol synthesis and metabolism by the Aster family of nonvesicular transporters. However, the relevance of such nonvesicular transport mechanisms for lipid homeostasis in vivo has not been defined. Here we reveal two physiological contexts that generate accessible PM cholesterol and engage the Aster pathway in liver: fasting and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). During fasting, adipose tissue–derived fatty acids activate hepatocyte sphingomyelinase to liberate sequestered PM cholesterol. Aster-dependent cholesterol transport during fasting facilitates cholesteryl ester (CE) formation, cholesterol movement into bile, and VLDL production. During RCT, HDL delivers excess cholesterol to the hepatocyte PM through SR-BI. Loss of hepatic Asters impairs cholesterol movement into feces, raises plasma cholesterol levels, and causes cholesterol accumulation in peripheral tissues. These results reveal fundamental mechanisms by which Aster cholesterol flux contributes to hepatic and systemic lipid homeostasis.

Project description:Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of tongue cancer samples and cell line was performed to identify the fusion gene translocation breakpoint. WGS raw data was aligned to human reference genome (GRCh38.p12) using BWA-MEM (v0.7.17). The BAM files generated were further analysed using SvABA (v1.1.3) tool to identify translocation breakpoints. The translocation breakpoints were annotated using custom scripts, using the reference GENCODE GTF (v30). The fusion breakpoints identified in the SvABA analysis were additionally confirmed using MANTA tool (v1.6.0).

Project description:Here we describe a genome-wide analysis of copy number variations (CNVs) in Chinese domestic cattle by using array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) and quantitative PCR (qPCR). We conducted array CGH analysis on 30 male cattle individuals, animals from consisting of 12 breeds of Bos taurus/Bos indicus, 1 Bos grunniens and and two ones of Bubalus bubalis breeds for with beef, and/or dairy or dual purpose. We identified over 470 candidate CNV regions (CNVRs) in Bos B. taurus/B. indicus; 118 candidate CNV regions (CNVRs) in B. grunniens, 139 CNVRs in B. bubalis. Furthermore, based on the Y haplotypes of B. taurus/ B. indicus, Wwe also identified 69, 337, and 251 candidate CNV regions (CNVRs) in the sub-groups of Y1, Y2 and Y3 haplotypes.
