Methylomic Biomarkers for Magnesium Deficiency in the Personalized Prevention of Colorectal Cancer Trial

ABSTRACT: Based on the magnesium (Mg) tolerance test, the "gold standard" test of Mg status, more than 50% US participants had Mg deficiency. Observations suggest that the associations between high Mg intake and disease risks may completely differ by the underlying Mg status. Due to major limitations, the Mg tolerance test is not used in conventional clinical practice and rarely used in research. Instead, serum Mg is used for clinical diagnosis. However, serum Mg performs very poorly at identifying those with Mg deficiency. There is a great need to develop implementable, sensitive, and specific biomarkers which can be easily used for identifying people with Mg deficiency. It is known that DNA methylation changes are inducible by environmental exposures, including nutrients, and reversible when the exposure disappears. We propose to identify 5-hmC/5-mC biomarkers for Mg deficiency by a 4- phase EWAS study in the "Personalized Prevention of Colorectal Cancer Trial [PPCCT, R01CA149633; PI, Dai & Yu]" with a total of 240 participants. Mg tolerance test will be used as the gold standard. Finally, using newly identified biomarkers, we will evaluate if 12-week Mg treatment reduces TRPM7 expression, essential in Mg homeostasis and colorectal carcinogenesis, in rectal tissues only among those with Mg deficiency.

Exploration of small RNA biomarkers for testicular injury in the serum exosomes of rats

Project description:Testicular injury is often observed in drug development. Serum hormones are usually used as non-invasive biomarkers for testicular injury; however, their sensitivity is low. Therefore, it is difficult to monitor testicular injury in pre-clinical and clinical drug developments. In recent years, molecules in body fluid exosomes are attracting attention as disease biomarkers such as cancer. In this study, small RNAs in serum exosomes were analyzed for identifying non-invasive biomarkers of testicular injury in rats, which are mainly used in a pre-clinical drug development. Testicular injury models in rats were prepared by a single oral administration of 2000 mg/kg ethylene glycol monomethyl ether in which spermatocytes degeneration and sertoli cells vacuolation were observed, or 400 mg/kg carbendazim in which sertoli cells vacuolation and seminiferous tubules dilation were observed. Serum exosome small RNA-seq was performed in these models. The analysis identified 3 small RNAs that fluctuated in common between the models, and miR-423-5p and miR-128-3p were selected as candidate markers. For qPCR validation of the candidates, testicular injury models were further prepared by a single oral administration of 60 mg/kg 1,3-dinitrobenzene or 500 mg/kg nitrofurazone in which spermatocytes degeneration and sertoli cells vacuolation were observed. In qPCR analysis, the selected two miRNAs in exosomes were upregulated in the all models except for 1,3-dinitrobenzene model in which severe hemolysis was observed. On the other hand, the miRNAs in serum did not significantly change in the any models. In conclusion, we identified miR-423-5p and miR-128-3p in serum exosome as non-invasive biomarkers for testicular injury in rats.

MicroRNA-mediated responses to long-term magnesium-deficiency in Citrus sinensis roots revealed by Illumina sequencing

Project description:Background: Magnesium (Mg)-deficiency occurs most frequently in strongly acidic, sandy soils. Citrus are grown mainly on acidic and strong acidic soils. Mg-deficiency causes poor fruit quality and low fruit yield in some Citrus orchards. For the first time, we investigated Mg-deficiency-responsive miRNAs in ‘Xuegan’ (Citrus sinensis) roots using Illumina sequencing in order to obtain some miRNAs presumably responsible for Citrus Mg-deficiency tolerance. Results: We obtained 101 (69) miRNAs with increased (decreased) expression from Mg-starved roots. Our results suggested that the adaptation of Citrus roots to Mg-deficiency was related to the several aspects: (a) inhibiting root respiration and related gene expression via inducing miR158 and miR2919; (b) enhancing antioxidant system by down-regulating related miRNAs (miR780, miR6190, miR1044, miR5261 and miR1151) and the adaptation to low-phosphorus (miR6190); (c) activating transport-related genes by altering the expression of miR6190, miR6485, miR1044, miR5029 and miR3437; (d) elevating protein ubiquitination due to decreased expression levels of miR1044, miR5261, miR1151 and miR5029; (e) maintaining root growth by regulating miR5261, miR6485 and miR158 expression; and (f) triggering DNA repair (transcription regulation) by regulating miR5176 and miR6485 (miR6028, miR6190, miR6485, miR5621, miR160 and miR7708) expression. Mg-deficiency-responsive miRNAs involved in root signal transduction also had functions in Citrus Mg-deficiency tolerance. Conclusions: We obtained several novel Mg-deficiency-responsive miRNAs (i.e., miR5261, miR158, miR6190, miR6485, miR1151 and miR1044) possibly contributing to Mg-deficiency tolerance. These results revealed some novel clues on the miRNA-mediated adaptation to nutrient deficiencies in higher plants.

MicroRNA regulatory mechanisms on Citrus sinensis leaves to magnesium-deficiency

Project description:In China, magnesium (Mg)-deficiency often occurs in citrus orchards, and is responsible for the loss of yield and poor fruit quality. However, very limited data are available on Mg-deficiency-responsive microRNAs (miRNAs) in higher plants. Using Illumina sequencing, we isolated 93 (91 known and 2 novel) up- and 90 (83 known and 7 novel) down-regulated miRNAs from Mg-deficient Citrus sinensis leaves. In addition to the remarkable metabolic flexibility as indicated by the great alteration of miRNA expression, the adaptive responses of leaf miRNAs to Mg-deficiency might also involve the following aspects: (a) accelerating protein turnover and amino acid biosynthesis by repressing the expression of miR2919, miR7812, miR5904 and miR5742; (b) up-regulating stress-related genes by down-regulating miR2919, miR164 and miR7812; (c) enhancing cell transport due to decreased expression of miR2919, miR3946, miR7533, miR1222, miR779, miR6143 and miR2868 and increased expression of miR395, miR1077, miR1160 and miR8019; (d) activating lipid metabolism-related genes by repressing miR158, miR1222, miR7533 and miR3946; (e) inducing cell wall-related genes by decreasing miR7533, miR779 and miR2868 expression; and (f) maintaing primary meristems by down-regulating miR6135. To conclude, we identified some candidate miRNAs that might contribute to Mg-deficiency tolerance. Our results are usefult not only for increasing our understaning of the molecular mechanisms on plant Mg-deficiency tolerance at post-transcriptional level, but also for obtaining the key miRNAs for plant Mg-deficiency tolerance.

Global transcriptomic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia-0 subjected to magnesium deficiency

Project description:Magnesium (Mg) is essential for many biological processes in plant cells and its deficiency causes yield reduction in crop systems. Low Mg status reportedly impacts on photosynthesis, sucrose partitioning and biomass allocation. However, earlier responses to Mg deficiency are scarcely described. Generally, symptoms of nutrient deficiency appear in specific ages of leaves. Therefore, we hypothesised that transcriptional responses to Mg deficiency are different depending on the ages of leaves, and performed a global transcriptomic analysis in two types of leaves; source and sink leaves of the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana to reveal the earlier responses to Mg deficiency. The global transcriptomic study revealed that short-term Mg deficiency triggers the expression of defence response genes in sink leaves. In roots, although short-term Mg deficiency enhanced the Mg2+ uptake from the environmnet, transcriptional levels of genes encoding putative Mg2+ transporters in roots were unchanged, suggesting non-transcriptional regulation of Mg2+ uptake in roots.

Selenium toxicity but not deficient or super-nutritional selenium status vastly alters the transcriptome in rodents

Project description:Protein and mRNA levels for several selenoproteins, such as glutathione peroxidase-1 (Gpx1), are down-regulated dramatically by selenium (Se) deficiency. Selenoprotein levels in rats increase sigmoidally with increasing dietary Se and reach defined plateaus at the Se requirement, making them sensitive biomarkers for Se deficiency, but not high for Se status. Biomarkers for high Se status are needed as super-nutritional Se intakes are associated with beneficial and adverse health outcomes, but conventional biomarkers are not especially useful above the Se requirement. To characterize Se regulation of the transcriptome, we conducted 3 microarray experiments in weanling mice and rats fed Se-deficient diets supplemented with levels of Se up to 5 µg Se/g diet. Rats or mice were fed Se-deficient diets supplemented with sodium selenite up to 5 ug Se/g diet for 28 or 35 days. Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 and Mouse 430 2.0 Genome Arrays were used to analyze gene expression in liver in all studies plus kidney in the mouse study.
