Association of the myosin heavy chain 9 gene single nucleotide polymorphism with inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To date, the cause of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains a mystery. A balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis maintains intestinal tissue homeostasis. Dissociation-induced myosin-actin contraction results in stem cell apoptosis. This study aiming to evaluate the influence of the myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on inflammatory bowel disease.

Subjects

and methods: The study carried on eighty patients with IBD and seventy controls. All participants subjected to history taking, thorough physical examination, colonoscopy and laboratory investigations. Genotyping performed for rs4821480 and rs3752462 by SNP assay real-time PCR methods.

Results

On analyzing rs3752462 CT and TT genotypes were significantly more frequent in IBD patients as compared to controls with 4.6 fold increase in the risk of IBD. While on analyzing rs4821480, The TG and GG genotypes have significant increased distribution among the IBD patients as compared to the controls with 5.3 fold increase in the risk of IBD and higher prevalence of GG genotype in patients with low hemoglobin level and higher BMI.

Conclusion

The rs3752462 T allele and rs4821480 G allele of MYH9 are associated with more susceptibility to IBD.

Association of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the 5' upstream region of the porcine myosin heavy chain 4 gene with meat quality traits in pigs.

Project description:We identified a potential molecular marker associated with meat quality traits in the myosin heavy chain 4, MYH4 gene of Landrace pigs. Sequencing revealed a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; g.-1398G>T) in the 5' upstream region of MYH4. It was significantly associated with the number of type IIa muscle fibers and water-holding capacity based on filter-paper fluid uptake. The GG genotype groups had a greater number of type IIa fibers and a larger area composed of type IIa fibers than the other genotype group (P = 0.004 and P = 0.061, respectively). Expression level of MYH4 gene in the genotype TT or GT was higher than in genotype of GG (P < 0.0001). The T allele may enhance expression level of MYH4 gene and then the portion of IIb type fiber in the muscle be increased by the T allelle. Therefore, we suggest that the g.-1398G>T in the 5' upstream region of the porcine MYH4 may be used as a molecular marker for meat quality traits, although its functional effect is not defined yet.

Single nucleotide polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene affects inflammatory bowel diseases risk.

Project description:AimTo investigate the role that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter of the tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) gene play in the risk of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) in a New Zealand population, in the context of international studies.MethodsDNA samples from 388 patients with Crohn's disease (CD), 405 ulcerative colitis (UC), 27 indeterminate colitis (IC) and 201 randomly selected controls, from Canterbury, New Zealand were screened for 3 common polymorphisms in the TNF-alpha receptor: -238 G-->A, -308 G-->A and -857C-->T, using a Taqman assay. A meta-analysis was performed on the data obtained on these polymorphisms combined with that from other published studies.ResultsIndividuals carrying the -308 G/A allele had a significantly (OR = 1.91, c2 = 17.36, P < 0.0001) increased risk of pancolitis, and a 1.57-fold increased risk (OR = 1.57, c2 = 4.34, P = 0.037) of requiring a bowel resection in UC. Carrying the -857 C/T variant decreased the risk of ileocolonic CD (OR = 0.56, c2 = 4.32, P = 0.037), and the need for a bowel resection (OR = 0.59, c2 = 4.85, P = 0.028). The risk of UC was reduced in individuals who were smokers at diagnosis, (OR = 0.48, c2 = 4.86, P = 0.028).ConclusionTNF-alpha is a key cytokine known to play a role in inflammatory response, and the locus for the gene is found in the IBD3 region on chromosome 6p21, known to be associated with an increased risk for IBD. The -308 G/A SNP in the TNF-alpha promoter is functional, and may account in part for the increased UC risk associated with the IBD3 genomic region. The -857 C/T SNP may decrease IBD risk in certain groups. Pharmaco- or nutrigenomic approaches may be desirable for individuals with such affected genotypes.

Single Muscle Immobilization Decreases Single-Fibre Myosin Heavy Chain Polymorphism: Possible Involvement of p38 and JNK MAP Kinases.

Project description:PurposeMuscle contractile phenotype is affected during immobilization. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms are the major determinant of the muscle contractile phenotype. We therefore sought to evaluate the effects of muscle immobilization on both the MHC composition at single-fibre level and the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), a family of intracellular signaling pathways involved in the stress-induced muscle plasticity.MethodsThe distal tendon of female Wistar rat Peroneus Longus (PL) was cut and fixed to the adjacent bone at neutral muscle length. Four weeks after the surgery, immobilized and contralateral PL were dissociated and the isolated fibres were sampled to determine MHC composition. Protein kinase 38 (p38), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2), and c-Jun- NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylations were measured in 6- and 15-day immobilized and contralateral PL.ResultsMHC distribution in immobilized PL was as follows: I = 0%, IIa = 11.8 ± 2.8%, IIx = 53.0 ± 6.1%, IIb = 35.3 ± 7.3% and I = 6.1 ± 3.9%, IIa = 22.1 ± 3.4%, IIx = 46.6 ± 4.5%, IIb = 25.2 ± 6.6% in contralateral muscle. The MHC composition in immobilized muscle is consistent with a faster contractile phenotype according to the Hill's model of the force-velocity relationship. Immobilized and contralateral muscles displayed a polymorphism index of 31.1% (95% CI 26.1-36.0) and 39.3% (95% CI 37.0-41.5), respectively. Significant increases in p38 and JNK phosphorylation were observed following 6 and 15 days of immobilization.ConclusionsSingle muscle immobilization at neutral length induces a shift of MHC composition toward a faster contractile phenotype and decreases the polymorphic profile of single fibres. Activation of p38 and JNK could be a potential mechanism involved in these contractile phenotype modifications during muscle immobilization.

Lampreys have a single gene cluster for the fast skeletal myosin heavy chain gene family.

Project description:Muscle tissues contain the most classic sarcomeric myosin, called myosin II, which consists of 2 heavy chains (MYHs) and 4 light chains. In the case of humans (tetrapod), a total of 6 fast skeletal-type MYH genes (MYHs) are clustered on a single chromosome. In contrast, torafugu (teleost) contains at least 13 fast skeletal MYHs, which are distributed in 5 genomic regions; the MYHs are clustered in 3 of these regions. In the present study, the evolutionary relationship among fast skeletal MYHs is elucidated by comparing the MYHs of teleosts and tetrapods with those of cyclostome lampreys, one of two groups of extant jawless vertebrates (agnathans). We found that lampreys contain at least 3 fast skeletal MYHs, which are clustered in a head-to-tail manner in a single genomic region. Although there was apparent synteny in the corresponding MYH cluster regions between lampreys and tetrapods, phylogenetic analysis indicated that lamprey and tetrapod MYHs have independently duplicated and diversified. Subsequent transgenic approaches showed that the 5'-flanking sequences of Japanese lamprey fast skeletal MYHs function as a regulatory sequence to drive specific reporter gene expression in the fast skeletal muscle of zebrafish embryos. Although zebrafish MYH promoters showed apparent activity to direct reporter gene expression in myogenic cells derived from mice, promoters from Japanese lamprey MYHs had no activity. These results suggest that the muscle-specific regulatory mechanisms are partially conserved between teleosts and tetrapods but not between cyclostomes and tetrapods, despite the conserved synteny.

Association between long-chain non-coding RNA SRA1 gene single-nucleotide polymorphism and polycystic ovary syndrome susceptibility.

Project description:ObjectiveTo study the association between single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of long-chain non-coding RNA steroid receptor RNA activator (lncRNA SRA1) gene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) susceptibility.MethodsSanger sequencing was used to analyze the genotypes of the lncRNA SRA1 gene rs801460, rs10463297, and rs250426 in 315 PCOS patients and 315 control groups.ResultsThere was no correlation between lncRNA SRA1 gene rs801460, rs250426 SNP, and PCOS susceptibility (p > 0.05). The T allele at the rs10463297 locus of the SRA1 gene has a lower risk of PCOS than the C allele (OR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.50-0.79, p < 0.01). Among people with a BMI ≥ 26.5 kg/m2, when carrying the TC genotype and CC genotype at rs801460, the risk of PCOS susceptibility was lower than the TT genotype (OR = 0.54, 95%CI: 0.33-0.89, p = 0.02). At different ages and BMI stratifications, there was a significant association between rs10463297 SNP and PCOS susceptibility (p < 0.05). Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis results showed that age, BMI, rs801460, rs10463297, and rs250426 interactions constitute a "high-risk combination." PCOS susceptibility risk was 5.96 times that of a "low-risk combination" (95%CI: 4.14-8.56, p < 0.01). SRA1 gene rs801460, rs10463297, rs250426 constructed TCT haplotype was associated with increased risk of PCOS susceptibility (OR = 1.66, 95%CI: 1.20-2.30, p < 0.01); the CTT haplotype was associated with a decreased risk of PCOS susceptibility (OR = 0.56, 95%CI: 0.36-0.87, p = 0.01). LncRNA SRA1 gene rs10463297 SNP was correlated with the level of lncRNA SRA1 in the peripheral blood leukocytes (p < 0.01).ConclusionFrom this study, we found that the lncRNA SRA1 gene rs10463297 SNP is associated with PCOS susceptibility.

Myosin Light Chain 9/12 Regulates the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Project description:The numbers of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), have been increasing over time, worldwide; however, the pathogenesis of IBD is multifactorial and has not been fully understood. Myosin light chain 9 and 12a and 12b (Myl9/12) are known as ligands of the CD69 molecule. They create "Myl9 nets" that are often detected in inflamed site, which play a crucial role in regulating the recruitment and retention of CD69-expressing effector cells in inflamed tissues. We demonstrated the strong expression of Myl9/12 in the inflamed gut of IBD patients and mice with DSS-induced colitis. The administration of anti-Myl9/12 Ab to mice with DSS-induced colitis ameliorated the inflammation and prolonged their survival. The plasma Myl9 levels in the patients with active UC and CD were significantly higher than those in patients with disease remission, and may depict the disease severity of IBD patients, especially those with UC. Thus, our results indicate that Myl9/12 are involved in the pathogenesis of IBD, and are likely to be a new therapeutic target for patients suffering from IBD.

Transcriptional regulation of the Drosophila melanogaster muscle myosin heavy-chain gene.

Project description:We show that a 2.6kb fragment of the muscle myosin heavy-chain gene (Mhc) of Drosophila melanogaster (containing 458 base pairs of upstream sequence, the first exon, the first intron and the beginning of the second exon) drives expression in all muscles. Comparison of the minimal promoter to Mhc genes of 10 Drosophila species identified putative regulatory elements in the upstream region and in the first intron. The first intron is required for expression in four small cells of the tergal depressor of the trochanter (jump) muscle and in the indirect flight muscle. The 3'-end of this intron is important for Mhc transcription in embryonic body wall muscle and contains AT-rich elements that are protected from DNase I digestion by nuclear proteins of Drosophila embryos. Sequences responsible for expression in embryonic, adult body wall and adult head muscles are present both within and outside the intron. Elements important for expression in leg muscles and in the large cells of the jump muscle flank the intron. We conclude that multiple transcriptional regulatory elements are responsible for Mhc expression in specific sets of Drosophila muscles.

IGF-I activates the mouse type IIb myosin heavy chain gene.

Project description:IGF-I increases skeletal muscle mass, but whether IGF-I increases type IIb myosin heavy chain (MyHC) transcriptional activity is not known. C2C12 myotubes were cultured with or without IGF-I to determine whether IGF-I increases type IIb MyHC promoter activity, and if so, what region of the promoter might IGF-I signaling regulate. At differentiation days 3 and 4, IGF-I increased type IIb MyHC mRNA and mouse 3.0-kb type IIb MyHC promoter activity. Deletion construct studies identified a potential IGF-I-responsive region between 1.25 and 1.2 kb of the type IIb MyHC promoter, which contained an exact 6-bp T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor (Tcf/Lef) binding site at position -1206 to -1201. Site-specific mutation of the putative Tcf/Lef binding site reduced IGF-I-induced 1.3-kb type IIb MyHC promoter activity. To identify potential IGF-I signaling molecules, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors wortmannin and LY-294002 were both found to markedly attenuate IGF-I activation of the 1.3-kb type IIb MyHC promoter. Downstream signaling of IGF-I can phosphorylate and inactivate GSK-3beta, thereby enhancing beta-catenin protein. The GSK-3beta inhibitor, LiCl, dramatically enhanced IGF-I induction of the 1.3-kb type IIb MyHC promoter, and constitutively active GSK-3beta attenuated IGF-I-induced 1.3-kb type IIb MyHC promoter activity. Finally, IGF-I increased nuclear beta-catenin protein, and small interfering RNA knockdown of beta-catenin attenuated IGF-I-induced 1.3-kb type IIb MyHC promoter activity and type IIb MyHC mRNA. In summary, IGF-I stimulation of C2C12 myotubes increases mouse type IIb MyHC promoter activity, likely through signaling of PI3K, GSK-3beta, beta-catenin, and a Tcf/Lef binding site at -1,206 to -1,201 bp in the promoter.

Association of long-chain non-coding RNA MHRT gene single nucleotide polymorphism with risk and prognosis of chronic heart failure.

Project description:Long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Myosin Heavy Chain Associated RNA Transcripts (MHRT) are newly identified cardioprotective lncRNAs. In this study, we investigated the association of MHRT gene single nucleotide polymorphisms with risk and prognosis of chronic heart failure (CHF).Sanger sequencing was performed to detect the genotypes of rs3729830, rs7140721, rs76614781, rs3729829, rs3729828, rs3729825, and rs3729822 loci in the non-coding region of the MHRT gene from 240 patients with CHF and 240 control subjects. After 3 years of follow-up, progression-free survival was recorded in patients with CHF.The risk of CHF in subjects carrying A allele of the MHRT gene rs7140721 locus was 1.43 times higher than that of C allele carriers (95% CI: 1.23-1.62, P?<?.001). The risk of CHF in subjects carrying A allele of the rs3729829 locus was 1.41 times higher than that of G allele carriers (95% CI: 1.20-1.61, P?<?.01). The risk of CHF in the carriers of T allele of the rs3729825 locus was 1.89 times higher than that of C allele carriers (adjusted OR?=?1.89, 95% CI: 1.66-2.04, P?<?.01). Further, the level of lncRNA MHRT in the plasma of subjects carrying CA/AA genotype of the rs7140721 locus was significantly higher than that of subjects carrying the CC genotype. The level of lncRNA MHRT in the plasma of subjects carrying GA/AA genotype of the rs3729829 locus was significantly higher than that of subjects carrying the GG genotype. In addition, the level of lncRNA MHRT in subjects with CT/TT genotype of the rs3729825 locus carriers was significantly higher than that in subjects with the CC genotype (P?<?.05). In addition, significant differences in the mortality of patients with CHF were observed between different genotypes of rs7140721, rs3729829, and rs3729825 loci (P?<?.001).The single nucleotide polymorphisms of MHRT gene rs7140721, rs3729829, and rs3729825 loci were associated with the risk of CHF and prognosis.
