Association of BET1L and TNRC6B with uterine leiomyoma risk and its relevant clinical features in Han Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have shown that uterine leiomyomas (UL) are benign tumours with contributions from environmental and genetic factors. We aimed to replicate two initial significant genetic factors, TNRC6B and BET1L, in a Han Chinese population. A total of 2,055 study subjects were recruited, and 55 SNPs mapped to TNRC6B and BET1L were selected and genotyped in samples from these subjects. Genetic associations were analysed at both the single marker and haplotype levels. Associations between targeted SNPs and relevant clinical features of UL were analysed in case only samples. Functional consequences of significant SNPs were analysed by bioinformatics tools. Two SNPs, rs2280543 from BET1L (?2?=?18.3, OR?=?0.64, P?=?1.87?×?10-5) and rs12484776 from TNRC6B (?2?=?19.7, OR?=?1.40, P?=?8.91?×?10-6), were identified as significantly associated with the disease status of UL. Rs2280543 was significantly associated with the number of fibroid nodes (P?=?0.0007), while rs12484776 was significantly associated with node size (?2?=?54.88, P?=?3.44?×?10-11). Both SNPs were a significant eQTL for their genes. In this study, we have shown that both BET1L and TNRC6B contributed to the risk of UL in Chinese women. Significant SNPs from BET1L and TNRC6B were also identified as significantly associated with the number of fibroid nodes and the size of the node, respectively.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease related to immune, whose complexity of molecular mechanisms is still not fully clear. RNA sequencing has been widely applied in various fields including biological medicine. According to the bioinformatics analysis of differential genes, biomarkers and drug targets have been discovered for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Besides, the pathological mechanisms of disease and functions of gene can be evaluated. In the present study, we report the application of RNA sequencing in skin tissues from psoriatic and healthy persons. By obtaining 2139 differential expressed genes (DEGs), 208 significantly differential GO terms and 44 significantly differential pathways were generated. We found that the functions of DEGs were mainly related to cell cycle, inflammatory, virus, immune response and metabolic process.The major pathways included cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, cell cycle, metabolic pathways, ribosome, peroxisome, steroid biosynthesis and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, co-expression network was constructed to identify core genes and relations between genes. we considered genes with high values of degree and k-core difference in the co-expression network as core genes, such as IFNG, IL26, TLR3, PRKCQ, TLR4, CD274, CDK1 and IL17A. We chose CD274, an important immune checkpoint, to evaluate its regulatory mechanisms. Candidate genes related to CD274 were evaluated by the co-expression network analysis, and the relations between CD274 and candidate genes were validated in epidermal keratinocytes. Finally, IFNG and CDK1 inhibitor (indirubin) were found increasing the expression levels of CD274. In addition, indirubin was confirmed to attenuate mouse psoriasis-like skin lesion with the mechanisms related to CD274. In conclusion, this study provides us a comprehensive transcriptome analysis method on psoriasis to identify core genes and explore the important regulatory functions of genes.
