A genome-wide multiphenotypic association analysis identified candidate genes and gene ontology shared by four common risky behaviors.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Risky behaviors can lead to huge economic and health losses. However, limited efforts are paid to explore the genetic mechanisms of risky behaviors. RESULT:MASH analysis identified a group of target genes for risky behaviors, such as APBB2, MAPT and DCC. For GO enrichment analysis, FUMA detected multiple risky behaviors related GO terms and brain related diseases, such as regulation of neuron differentiation (adjusted P value = 2.84×10-5), autism spectrum disorder (adjusted P value =1.81×10-27) and intelligence (adjusted P value =5.89×10-15). CONCLUSION:We reported multiple candidate genes and GO terms shared by the four risky behaviors, providing novel clues for understanding the genetic mechanism of risky behaviors. METHODS:Multivariate Adaptive Shrinkage (MASH) analysis was first applied to the GWAS data of four specific risky behaviors (automobile speeding, drinks per week, ever-smoker, number of sexual partners) to detect the common genetic variants shared by the four risky behaviors. Utilizing genomic functional annotation data of SNPs, the SNPs detected by MASH were then mapped to target genes. Finally, gene set enrichment analysis of the identified candidate genes were conducted by the FUMA platform to obtain risky behaviors related gene ontology (GO) terms as well as diseases and traits, respectively.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) is a common skeletal system disease that has been partially attributed to genetic factors. The hand is frequently affected, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life. However, the pathogenetic mechanism of hand osteoarthritis (hand OA) is still elusive.MethodsA genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary of hand OA was obtained from the UK Biobank dataset, which contains data from a total of 452,264 White British individuals, including 37,782 OA patients. The transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) of hand OA was performed using FUnctional Summary-based ImputatiON (FUSION) with the skeletal muscle and blood as gene expression references. The significant genes identified by TWAS were further subjected to gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) with the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) tool. Furthermore, we compared the genes and gene sets identified by our TWAS with that of a knee OA mRNA expression profile to detect the genes and gene sets shared by TWAS and mRNA expression profiles in OA. The mRNA expression profiles of 18 normal knee cartilages and 20 OA knee cartilages were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus database (accession number: GSE114007).ResultsTWAS identified 177 genes with P?<?0.05 for the skeletal muscle, including ANKRD44 (P?=?0.0001), RIC3 (P?=?0.0003), and AC005154.6 (P?=?0.0004). TWAS identified 423 genes with P?<?0.05 for the blood, including CRIM1 (P?=?0.0002), ZNF880 (P?=?0.0002), and NCKIPSD (P?=?0.0003). After comparing the results of the TWAS to those of the mRNA expression profiling of OA, we identified 5 common genes, including DHRS3 (log2fold?=?-?1.85, P?=?3.31?×?10-?9) and SKP2 (log2fold?=?1.36, P?=?1.62?×?10-?8). GSEA of TWAS identified 51 gene ontology (GO) terms for hand OA, for example, protein binding (P?=?0.0003) and cytosol (P?=?0.0020). We also detected 6 common GO terms shared by TWAS and mRNA expression profiling, including protein binding (PTWAS?=?2.54?×?10-?4, PmRNA?=?3.42?×?10-?8), extracellular exosome (PTWAS?=?0.02, PmRNA?=?1.18?×?10-?4), and cytoplasm (PTWAS?=?0.0183, PmRNA?=?0.0048).ConclusionIn this study, we identified 5 candidate genes and 6 GO terms related to hand OA, which may help to uncover the pathogenesis of hand OA. It should be noted that the possible difference in the gene expression profiles between hand OA and knee OA may affect our study results, which should be interpreted with caution.

Project description:Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and most lethal primary malignant brain tumor, correlated with survival rates of less than one year from the time of diagnosis. Current surgical procedure attempts to remove the bulk of the tumor mass, whereas GBM frequently recurs within 1-3cm from the primary tumor resection site. Molecular mechanisms involved in the recurrence of the tumor are still poorly understood. The aim of the study was to define the molecular signature of GBM surrounding white matter (WM) in order to better understand the molecular mechanisms involved with tumor relapse. Material & Methods: Human GBM tumor bulk and surrounding tissue (1-3cm from the border of the tumor) were obtained from five patients who underwent total tumour resection, while normal white matter was harvested from patients who underwent surgical procedure for nonmalignant pathologies. Samples were processed for hybridization on the Affymetrix Human U133A arrays and data were examined with the GeneSpring analysis software. Results: Gene expression analysis of the samples was done in 2 independent steps. First, molecular profiling comparison of GBM surrounding WM and normal WM resulted in 59 genes differentially expressed between both tissues. Among these, numerous genes expressed by mature neural cells were down-regulated in GBM surrounding WM, while gene products supporting invasion were overexpressed. Moreover, KLRC1, a specific natural killer receptor naturally involved in the activation of antitumoral cells was drastically repressed in GBM surrounding WM, suggesting that the antitumoral immune surveillance is compromised in this tissue. Second, we focused our study on genes specifically regulated in GBM periphery respectively to GBM core. The highest up-regulated gene in GBM surrounding tissue encodes for DTX4, a regulator of NOTCH signalling pathway described for its key role in maintaining neural progenitors in an uncommitted state. Conclusion: This study revealed unique molecular characteristics of GBM surrounding tissue, showing the dysregulation of genes involved in immune surveillance along with genes associated to stemness maintenance. All together, these data may help to understand the molecular mechanisms associated with GBM recurrence This study attempted to define the molecular characteristics of the GBM surrounding tissue. To this end, GBM tumor samples were obtained from 5 patients who underwent total tumor resection. Surrounding tumor mass tissue was retrieved in all cases from not infiltrated white matter sited at 2 cm from the macroscopic tumor border. Furthermore, control white matter biopsies were harvested from patients operated on for deep intracerebral cavernomas. Each sample was hybridized onto Affymetrix human U133 arrays. For each patient, tumor core sample and surrounding tissue were harvested and are identified with the same suffix number. In 2 cases, (patients 3 and 4), two tumor peripheral tissue samples were harvested and are identified with the same number followed by "R" (replicate).
