Project description:Background: The number of red blood cells (RBCs) increases significantly in response to high-altitude hypoxic environments, and the RBC microRNA (miRNA) expression pattern is similar to that in whole blood. Studies have shown that miRNA in plasma can act as a circulating hypoxia-associated marker, but the effect of a high-altitude hypoxic environment on RBC-derived miRNAs has not yet been reported. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 20 Han Chinese individuals residing at 500 m (Sichuan Han), 10 migrant Han Chinese citizens residing at 3658 m (Tibet Han) and 12 native Tibetans, and RBC indices measurements and miRNA sequencing analyses were performed for the three sample groups. The levels of some markedly altered miRNAs at high altitude were subsequently measured from 5 randomly selected samples of each group by real-time PCR. Bioinformatic analyses was performed to determine the potential target genes of selected hypoxia-associated miRNAs. Results: Marked changes of several RBC indices were observed among the Tibet Han population, the Tibetan population and the Sichuan Han population. A total of 516 miRNAs derived from RBCs were initially identified by miRNA sequencing in the three sample groups. Compared with the Sichuan Han population, 49 miRNAs were differentially expressed in the Tibet Han population (17 upregulated and 32 downregulated). 12 upregulated and 21 downregulated miRNAs were observed in the Tibetan population compared with the Sichuan Han population. A total of 40 RBC miRNAs were differentially expressed in the Tibetan population (15 upregulated and 25 downregulated) compared with the Tibet Han population. Two significantly altered miRNAs with the highest expression levels (miRNA-144-5p and miR-30b-5p) were selected for real-time PCR analysis, and the results were consistent with those of miRNA sequencing. Furthermore, bioinformatic analyses showed that some potential target genes of miR-144-5p and miR-30b-5p are involved in the erythroid- hypoxia-, and nitric oxide (NO)-related signaling pathways in response to hypoxia. Conclusion: Our findings provide clear evidence, for the first time, that a high-altitude hypoxic environment significantly affects human RBC miRNA profiles.

Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:Elucidating the genetic basis underlying the variation in hepatic gene expression is of importance to understand disease etiology and drug metabolism variances. To date, no genome-wide eQTL analysis has been conducted in the Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in the world. We performed a genome-wide eQTL mapping in a set of Han Chinese liver tissue (n=64).

Project description:We compared standard human reference genome GRCh38 and de novo assembled reference genome HX1 in precision medicine applications for specific ethnics. In order to quantify the HX1 misassembled genes and HX1-specific contigs, we performed RNA-seq and RNC-seq on hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (MHCC97H, MHCCLM3 and MHCCLM6) which were derived from Chinese Han individuals. In which, RNC-seq datasets of MHCC97H and MHCCLM3 had been published. We found that a considerable fraction of HX1 misassembled genes was expressed in the Chinese Han samples. Furthermore, we found no HX1-specific contigs yielded more than 2.27 FPKM (minimun FPKM of 1 copy/cell transcript) in the Chinese Han sampels.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of blood samples from eight female identical twins of Han Chinese for forensic age prediction, age 21 to 32. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 485,000 CpGs at a single-nucleotide resolution. Samples included 8 pairs of identical female twins of Han Chinese.

Project description:Tibetan adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia remains a classic example of Darwinian selection in humans. Amongst Tibetans, alleles in the EPAS1 gene - whose protein product, Hif-2α, is a central regulator of the hypoxia response - have repeatedly been shown to carry some of the strongest signals of positive selection in humans and to influence several adaptive phenotypes. We recently showed that the selected haplotype at this locus spans a hypoxia-dependent enhancer (ENH5) that contributes to the regulation of EPAS1 in a variety of cell types. However, selective sweep signals alone may account for only part of the phenotypes that differentiate Tibetans from closely related lowlanders. Therefore, there is a pressing need to functionally probe adaptive alleles and their impact at the genome-wide level and across cell types to uncover the full range of beneficial traits. To cast a wider net, we established a library of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from Tibetan and Han Chinese individuals, a robust model system allowing precise exploration of both locus-specific and genome-wide effects on transcriptional responses. We harness this system by differentiating the iPSC library into vascular endothelium and investigating the locus-specific effects of the ENH5 enhancer in this cellular context. In addition, we use it to explore Tibetan-specific transcriptome-wide responses and find evidence that energy metabolism and immune pathways have been shaped by natural selection in Tibetans. Finally, to aid with the interpretation of the transcriptional differences between populations, we test for polygenic adaptations as a complementary in silico approach for the identification of beneficial Tibetan phenotypes.
