Genetic determinants of glycated hemoglobin levels in the Greenlandic Inuit population

ABSTRACT: We recently showed that a common genetic variant leads to a remarkably increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the small and historically isolated Greenlandic population. Motivated by this, we aimed at investigating the genetic determinants for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C). We found no novel associations but saw that for 10 out of 15 known HbA1C loci that the effects in Greenlandic Inuit were similar to previously reported. One locus, ANK1, showed a significant ancestral population specific effect. Our results shed light on the genetics effects across ethnicites.

Evolution of phenotypic plasticity and transgenerational effects of heat stress in the nematode Caenorhabditis remanei

Project description:Analysis of evolved changes in transcriptional plasticity and parental effects on plasticity induced by mild heat stress in the nematode Caenorhabditis remanei. Results of this study highlight the importance of the broad environmental context of an organism and its influence on phenotypic plasticity, parental effects, and evolutionary responses. mRNA profiles of ancestral and two experimentally evolved populations of C. remanei. Parents of the sampled worms were raised at either 20Â°C or 30Â°C, then the resulting embryos were divided and reared at either 20Â°C or 30Â°C prior to collection (as L1 larvae). 6 replicates/larval temperature for each population if the parents were raised at 20Â°C, and 2 replicates/larval temperature for each population if the parents were raised at 30Â°C.

Natural variation affecting allele-specific expression in the Malpighian tubules of Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:We used RNA-seq to investigate natural variation in gene expression in the Malpighian tubules of three inbred Drosophila melanogaster strains and their F1 hybrids. One of the strains was from a population in the species’ ancestral range (Zambia), while the other two were from a more recently derived population (Sweden).

Single-cell transcriptome analysis of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth investigating functional heterogeneity in immunomodulation

Project description:Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. The inadequate understanding of MSCs and its heterogeneity can impact the immune environment maybe the cause of the good outcomes of MSCs-based therapy cannot be always achieved. Recently, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) showed a great potential in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases due to its unique immunomodulation properties. However, the cellular heterogeneity and the corresponding immunomodulation functions of SHED remains unclear. Methods: In this study, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze and performed bioinformatic analysis to clarify the variations immunomodulation functions of SHED subpopulations in different differentiation state. After the integration of public available databases, we analyzed the transcriptome and compared the difference of immunomodulation functions of MSCs from different tissues. Results: SHED in low differentiation state (S7) exhibited the powerful ability to recruit multiple types of immune cells, whereas SHED in relatively high differentiation state (S1) may hold strong ability to secret many factors with paracrine signaling capacity. Compared with human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) or human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs), SHED is stronger in immunomodulatory property, especially in recruitment of Th17, Th22 and Treg cells. Conclusion: SHED was a heterogeneous MSCs population with different differentiation states and immunomodulatory functions. SHED may have some advantages in treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Our works provides some theoretical foundation for the SHED-based therapy in clinical applications.

Editing the core region in HPFH deletions alters fetal and adult globin expression for treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies

Project description:We have identified putative repressor region (PRR) to exon-1 of β-globin (βE1) in the β-globin cluster as a core region in alll the HPFH deletions that activates fetal hemoglobin and silences adult hemoglobin. Here we charactised the transcriptome of the erythroblasts derived from PRR-βE1 gene edited HSPCs. Transcriptome analysis showed an increased expression of HBG, HBBP1 and decreased expression of HBB transcripts compared to control.

Evidence of Late Pleistocene origin of Astyanax mexicanus cavefish

Project description:We found higher substitution rates in cavefish compared with surface fish, in accordance with a smaller cavefish population size which has allowed more rapid fixation of derived alleles present in the ancestral population. This result also implies that the Pachn cave population is much younger than previously estimated. The comparison of these data with simulations suggests that the Pachn cavefish population has probably been underground less than 30,000 years. This new time frame, together with other evidence, indicate that the evolution of cave phenotypes mainly involves the fixation of cryptic genetic variants present in surface fish populations within a short period of time.

Genetic and metabolic determinants of plasma PCSK9 levels.

Project description:ContextPCSK9 is a secreted protein that influences plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and susceptibility to coronary heart disease. PCSK9 is present in human plasma, but the factors that contribute to differences in plasma concentrations of PCSK9 and how they impact on the levels of lipoproteins have not been well-characterized.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to measure PCSK9 levels in a large, ethnically diverse population (n = 3138) utilizing a sensitive and specific sandwich ELISA.DesignWe conducted an observational study in the Dallas Heart Study, a multiethnic, probability-based sample of Dallas County.ResultsPlasma levels of PCSK9 varied over approximately 100-fold range (33-2988 ng/ml; median, 487 ng/ml). Levels were significantly higher in women (517 ng/ml) than in men (450 ng/ml), and in postmenopausal women compared to premenopausal women (P < 0.0001), irrespective of estrogen status. Plasma levels of PCSK9 correlated with plasma levels of LDL-C (r = 0.24) but explained less than 8% of the variation in LDL-C levels (r(2) = 0.073). Other factors that correlated with PCSK9 levels included plasma levels of triglycerides, insulin, and glucose. Individuals with loss-of-function mutations in PCSK9 and reduced plasma levels of LDL-C also had significantly lower plasma levels of PCSK9 after adjusting for age, gender, and LDL-C levels (P < 0.0001).ConclusionMultiple metabolic and genetic factors contribute to variation in plasma levels of PCSK9 in the general population. Although levels of PCSK9 correlate with plasma levels of LDL-C, they account for only a small proportion of the variation in the levels of this lipoprotein.

Population transcriptomics of Drosophila melanogaster females

Project description:To investigate the effect of sex on within- and between-population variation in gene expression, we performed a microarray analysis of adult females from 16 strains of Drosophila melanogaster, including eight strains from the putative ancestral range in sub-Saharan Africa and eight strains from a European population. The results were compared to those of a previous study of adult male gene expression variation among the same strains (GSE8843).
