This Review will systematically describe current knowledge on the understanding of PDM biology with an emphasis on its underlying mechanisms and implications in pancreatic regeneration, inflammation and tumorigenesis.
A total of 74,936 SNPs were employed to carry out population structure and genome-wide association studies and post-GWAS for hairiness character of the fifty-six samples including thirty-six Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa, eighteen A. chinensis var. chinensis, and two A. polygama in the light of morphological observations.
The percentage of heterozygous sites of A. chinensis var. deliciosa is higher than that of A. chinensis var. chinensis, which could be one of the reasons for A. chinensis var. deliciosa high disease resistance. Fifty-six samples were divided into two subgroups, in which the genetic distance, ranged from 0.17 to 0.99, according to their genetic divergence. Analysis of molecular variance shows that the frequency of genetic variations within the population is 83.53% and 16.47% between populations. F
between the two populations is 0.14, and N
is 1.60. Set at α≤0.05, a total of 327 SNPs and 260 haplotypes were related to the hairiness character. A total of 246 proteins were annotatedty-six genotypes was rich. The results of clustering and morphological observations are not completely consistent, indicating the hairiness character play an important role in the classification of kiwifruit, in which two A. polygama were clustered together with those of A. chinensis var. chinensis. Phylogeny and haplotype analysis showed that the evolution of A. chinensis var. chinensis is later than that of A. chinensis var. deliciosa in A. chinesis. The loss of hairiness character on leaves, stems and peels of A. chinensis var. chinensis compare with A. chinensis var. deliciosa, which is also the result of its poor resistance.Ras-GTPase-activating protein binding protein 1 (G3BP1) is a multifunctional binding protein involved in a variety of biological functions, including cell proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, differentiation and RNA metabolism. It has been revealed that G3BP1, as an antiviral factor, can interact with viral proteins and regulate the assembly of stress granules (SGs), which can inhibit viral replication. Furthermore, several viruses have the ability to hijack G3BP1 as a cofactor, recruiting translation initiation factors to promote viral proliferation. However, many functions of G3BP1 are associated with other diseases. In various cancers, G3BP1 is a cancer-promoting factor, which can promote the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. Moreover, compared with normal tissues, G3BP1 expression is higher in tumor tissues, indicating that it can be used as an indicator for cancer diagnosis. In this review, the structure of G3BP1 and the regulation of G3BP1 in multiple dimensions are described. In addition, the effects and potential mechanisms of G3BP1 on various carcinomas, viral infections, nervous system diseases and cardiovascular diseases are elucidated, which may provide a direction for clinical applications of G3BP1 in the future.There are an estimated > 400 million people living with a rare disease globally, with genetic variants the cause of approximately 80% of cases. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) rapidly identifies genetic variants however they are often of unknown significance. Low throughput functional validation in specialist laboratories is the current ad hoc approach for functional validation of genetic variants, which creating major bottlenecks in patient diagnosis. This study investigates the application of CRISPR gene editing followed by genome wide transcriptomic profiling to facilitate patient diagnosis. As proof-of-concept, we introduced a variant in the Euchromatin histone methyl transferase (EHMT1) gene into HEK293T cells. We identified changes in the regulation of the cell cycle, neural gene expression and suppression of gene expression changes on chromosome 19 and chromosome X, that are in keeping with Kleefstra syndrome clinical phenotype and/or provide insight into disease mechanism. This study demonstrates the utility of genome editing followed by functional readouts to rapidly and systematically validating the function of variants of unknown significance in patients suffering from rare diseases.WRKY transcription factor is one of the largest transcription factor families in higher plants. However, the investigations of the WRKY gene family have not yet been reported in seed hemp. In the present study, we identified 39 CasWRKYs at the genome-wide level and analyzed phylogenetic relationship, chromosome location, cis-acting elements, gene structure, conserved motif, and expression pattern. Based on the gene structure and phylogenetic analyses, CasWRKY proteins were divided into 3 groups and 7 subgroups. The gene duplication investigation revealed that 6 and 5 pairs of CasWRKY genes underwent tandem and segmental duplication events, respectively. These events may contribute to the diversity and expansion of the CasWRKY gene family. The regulatory elements in the promoter regions of CasWRKYs contained diverse cis-regulatory elements, among which P-box cis-regulatory elements showed high frequency, indicating that CasWRKYs can respond to the regulation of gibberellin. The expression profiles derived from RNA-seq and qRT-PCR showed that 13 CasWRKY genes could respond to GA3 stress and affect fiber development, as well as play significant roles in stem growth and development. This study will serve as molecular basis and practical reference for further exploring the genetic evolution and biological function of CasWRKY genes in seed hemp.Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) present the most severe forms of male and female infertility. In the last decade, the increasing use of whole exome sequencing (WES) in genomics studies of these conditions has led to the introduction of a number of novel genes and variants especially in meiotic genes with restricted expression to gonads. In this study, exome sequencing of a consanguineous Iranian family with one POI and two NOA cases in three siblings showed that all three patients were double homozygous for a novel in-frame deletion and a novel missense variant in STAG3 (NM_001282717.1c.1942G > A p.Ala648Thr; NM_001282717.1c.1951_1953del p. Leu652del). Both variants occur within a short proximity of each other affecting the relatively conserved armadillo-type fold superfamily feature. STAG3 is a specific meiotic cohesin complex component that interacts with the α-kleisin subunit through this feature. Protein homology modeling indicated that the in-frame deletion destabilizes kleisin biding by STAG3. Navitoclax concentration Although the missense variant did not seem to affect the binding significantly, protein homology modeling suggests that it further destabilizes kleisin binding when in double homozygous state with the deletion. Our findings are in line with several other studies having associated deleterious variants affecting this region with male and female infertility in humans and mouse models. This is the first report associating an in-frame STAG3 variant with NOA and POI in a single family. SUMMARY SENTENCE A patient with primary ovarian failure and her two brothers with non-obstructive azoospermia were double homozygous for a novel in-frame deletion and a novel missense variant in STAG3 that potentially disrupt the protein's meiotic functions.KCNQ1, a voltage-gated potassium ion channel, plays an important role in various physiological processes, including osteoblast differentiation in higher animals. However, its function in lower invertebrates such as marine shellfish remains poorly understood. Pearl oysters, such as P. fucata martensii, are ideal for studying biomineralisation. In this study, a full-length cDNA of KCNQ1 from P. fucata martensii (PfKCNQ1) was obtained, and its function in shell formation was investigated. The full-length 3945 bp cDNA of PfKCNQ1 included an open reading frame (ORF) of 1944 bp encoding a polypeptide of 647 amino acids. Multiple sequence alignment revealed high homology with KCNQ1 from other species, with six transmembrane domains (S1 - S6) and a pore (P) region. Expression pattern analysis showed that PfKCNQ1 was expressed in all tested tissues, with highest expression in mantle and heart, and shell notching induced PfKCNQ1 expression. Silencing PfKCNQ1 expression inhibited PfKCNQ1 expression and downregulated four biomineralisation-related genes (Shematrin, Pif80, N16 and MSI60). Disordered crystals or "hollows" were visible in the shell ultrastructure by scanning electron microscopy following PfKCNQ1 knockdown. The results suggested that PfKCNQ1 may participate in or regulate biomineralisation and shell formation in pearl oyster.Glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) is an important member of antioxidant enzymes, which can play a vital role in metabolizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and in maintaining cell homeostasis. In order to study the evolutionary dynamics of gpx gene family in allotetraploid fish species, we identified a total of 14 gpx genes in common carp Cyprinus carpio, while 9 gpx genes were discovered in the diploid progenitor-like species Poropuntius huangchuchieni. Comparative genomic analysis and phylogenetic analysis revealed that the common carp gpx genes had significant expansion and were divided into five distinct subclades. Exon-intron distribution patterns and conserved motif analysis revealed highly conserved evolutionary patterns. Transcript profiles suggested that different gpx genes had specific patterns of regulation during early embryonic development. In adult tissues, gpx genes had a relatively broad expression distribution, most of which were highly expressed in the gills, intestines, and gonads. RT-qPCR studies showed that most gpx genes were downregulated during the initial cd2+ treatment stage. Dietary supplementation of Bacillus coagulans at different concentrations (Group 2 of 1.0 × 107 cfu/g, Group 3 of 1.0 × 108 cfu/g, and Group 4 of 1.0 × 109 cfu/g) induced different regulatory responses of gpx subclades. This result suggested that the appropriate concentration of B. coagulans can improve gpx gene expression when exposed to heavy metal cadmium treatment, which may play a vital role in the resistance to oxidative stress and immune responses. This study has expanded our understanding of the functional evolution of the gpx gene family in common carp.Core cell cycle genes (CCCs) are essential regulators of cell cycle operation. In this study, a total of 69 CCCs family members, including 37 CYCs, 20 CDKs, five E2F/DPs, three KRPs, two RBs, one CKS and one Wee1, were identified from the longan genome. Phylogenetic and motifs analysis showed the evolutionary conservation of CCCs. Transcriptome dataset showed that CCCs had various expression patterns during longan early somatic embryogenesis (SE). Either CKS or CYCD3;2 silencing increased the expression of RB-E2F pathway genes, and the silencing of CYCD3;2 might induce the process of apoptosis in longan embryogenic callus (EC) cells. In addition, The qRT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of CDKG2, CYCD3;2, CYCT1;2, CKS and KRP1 were elevated by ABA, 2,4-D and PEG4000 treatments, while CDKG2 and CYCT1;2 were inhibited by NaCl treatment. In conclusion, our study provided valuable information for understanding the characterization and biological functions of longan CCCs.
