Project description:DNA methylation (DNAm) plays diverse roles in human biology, but this dynamic epigenetic mark remains far from fully characterized. Although earlier studies uncovered loci that undergo age-associated DNAm changes in adults, little is known about such changes during childhood. Despite profound DNAm plasticity during embryogenesis and early development, monozygotic twins show indistinguishable childhood methylation, suggesting DNAm is highly coordinated during the pediatric period. Here we examine the methylation of 27,578 CpG dinucleotides in peripheral blood DNA from 398 boys, aged 3 to 17 years, and find significant age-associated changes in DNAm at 2,078 loci. We report a deficit of such loci on the X chromosome, a preference for specific nucleotides immediately surrounding the interrogated CpG dinucleotide, and a primary association with developmental and immune ontological functions. These pediatric age-associated loci overlap significantly with those previously identified in adults (p < 0.001) but most of the pediatric loci are unique, suggesting many are childhood-specific. Meta-analysis (n = 1080) with two adult studies reveals that the methylation changes in 29.5% of the age-associated pediatric loci follow a linear pattern from childhood into adulthood; however, we also find a three-fold higher rate of change in children compared with adults and that a higher proportion of lifelong changes are more accurately modeled as a function of logarithmic age. We therefore conclude that DNAm changes occur more rapidly during childhood and are imperfectly accounted for by statistical corrections that are linear in age, further suggesting that future DNAm studies are matched closely for age. Age associated DNA methylation was evaluated at each CpG locus using a fixed-effects linear regression model adjusting for BeadChip as a covariate to account for batch effects. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted for each CpG locus to assess the age affect at each CpG locus which was subsequently corrected for multiple hypotheses using a Benjamini-Hochberg FDR.

Project description:Background: Genome wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed many susceptibility loci for complex genetic diseases. For most loci the causal genes have not been identified. The identification of candidate genes is currently mainly based genes that localize close to or within the identified loci. We have recently shown that 92 of the 163 Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)-loci co-localize with noncoding DNA regulatory elements (DRE). Mutations in DRE can contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD through dysregulation of gene expression. Consequently, genes that are regulated by these 92 DRE are to be considered as candidate genes. We developed a novel approach for candidate gene identification that is based on DNA regulatory mechanisms.Results: By using circular chromosome conformation capture-sequencing (4C-seq), we have identified genomic regions that physically interact with the 92 DRE that were found at IBD susceptibility loci. Since the activity of regulatory elements is cell type specific, 4C-seq was performed in monocytes, lymphocytes and intestinal epithelial cells. Altogether, we identified 902 novel IBD candidate genes. These genes include genes specific for one of the IBD subtypes and many noteworthy genes like ATG9A and IL10RA. We show that the expression of many novel candidate genes is genotype dependent and that these genes are upregulated during intestinal inflammation in IBD. Pathway analyses further identified HNF4α as a potential key upstream regulator of the IBD candidate genes.Conclusions: In this study, 4C-seq is used to systematically analyze chromatin interactions at IBD susceptibility loci that localize to regulatory DNA We reveal many novel and relevant IBD candidate genes, pathways and regulators. Our approach complements classical candidate gene identification, links novel genes to IBD and can be applied to any existing GWAS data.

Project description:Proteins that interact together participate in the same cellular process and influence the same organismal traits. Despite the progress in mapping protein interactions we lack knowledge of how these change across tissues. Due to coordinated (post)transcriptional control, protein complex members have highly correlated abundances that are predictive of functional association. Here, we have compiled 7840 proteomic samples measuring protein levels in 11 human tissues and use these to define an atlas of tissue specific protein associations. This method recapitulates known protein complexes and the larger structural organization of the cell. Stable protein complexes are well preserved across tissues with signaling and metabolic interactions showing larger variation. Less than 20% of interaction changes across tissues are estimated to be due to protein expression differences with cell-type specific cellular structures, such as synaptic vesicles, being a second significant driver of differences. We further supported the brain protein association network through co-fraction experiments in synaptosomes, curation of brain derived pull-down data and AlphaFold2 models and illustrate how this network can functionally prioritize candidate genes within loci linked to brain disorders

Project description:The first goal of the study was to find the genes that explain the difference in progression of age-related retinal degeneration (ageRD) between the inbred strains C57BL/6J-c2J (B6a) and BALB/cByJ (C). The specific goal was to find the candidate genes that explain the chromosome 6 and chromosome 10 quantitative trait loci (QTL) found in a previous study. Genes differentially expressed in retina between both strains and that map to the QTL are candidate genes. By integrating different approaches: microarray study, knowledge-based candidate gene search and screening of genetic variants, we found 35 candidate genes for chromosome 6 QTL and 14 candidate genes for chromosome 10 QTL. Five genes for each QTL were selected for sequencing and qPCR analysis. One gene, Tnfaip3 was selected for phenotypic testing and was excluded as the quantitative trait gene for chr10 QTL. The second goal of the study was to find biological processes and pathways associated with ageRD by Gene Ontology analysis of the microarray data. We concentrated on GO terms overrepresented in either strain at 8 months; the age when there is a difference in the phenotype (outer nuclear layer thickness). The GO analysis revealed that transcripts associated with inflammation, mitochondrial envelope, DNA repairing and oxidative stress were increased in the ageRD sensitive C strain with age (8 months). In the ageRD resistant B6a strain transcripts associated with antioxidant response, regulation of blood vessel size and growth factor activity were increased with age. Transcripts associated with cell remodeling and lipid metabolism were increased in either strain with age. This study aims to identify gene expression differences in posterior eyecups between the strains C and B6a at 4 months and at 8 months. Twelve animals were used per strain and time point for a total of 48 mice. Total RNA for 3 animals (6 eyes) were pooled giving a total of 4 biological replicates per strain and time point. The 4-month C samples labeled with Cy5 were hybridized with the 4-month B6a samples labeled with Cy3 (4 biological replicates); the 8-month C samples labeled with Cy5 were hybridized with the 8-month B6a samples labeled with Cy3, for 8 arrays (4 biological replicates). A second set of eight arrays were used to analyzed the same RNA samples but with the dye orientation reversed, yielding a total of 16 arrays in the experiment. Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc.

Project description:Boar taint described as an offensive odor that is released while cooking pork. Androstenone, a steroid mainly synthesized in testis and metabolized in liver is one of the major causes of boar taint. The aim of the present study was to investigate transcriptome differences in boar testis and liver tissues with divergent androstenone levels using RNA deep sequencing (RNA-Seq). For this purpose, mRNA expression from testis and liver tissue samples from 10 boars, 5 samples each for high and low androstenone levels were quantified and analyzed. The results shows that in testis samples 46 genes were differentially regulated whereas 25 genes showed differential expression in the liver. Digital gene expression analysis identified genes in keratin family, desmoplakin and Interferon-induced protein family for as candidate genes for low androstenone testis sample and genes in flavin monooxygenease family, cytochrome P450 family and hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase family as candidate genes for low androstenone liver sample. Additionally, the results revealed that mutations in genes IRG6, DSP, IFIT2 were specific for low androstenone testis tissues and mutations in genes FMO5, HIST1H4K and TSKU were specific for low androstenone liver samples.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of the study was to integrate verified signals from previous genetic association studies with gene expression and pathway analysis for discovery of new candidate genes and signalling networks, relevant for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method:RNA-seq based expression analysis of 377 genes from previously verified RA-associated loci was performed in blood cells from 5 newly diagnosed, non-treated RA patients, 7 patients with treated RA and 12 healthy controls. Differentially expressed genes sharing a similar expression pattern in treated and untreated RA sub-groups were selected for pathway analysis. A set of “connector” genes derived from pathway analysis was then tested for differential expression in the initial discovery cohort. Results: 11 qualifying genes were selected for pathway analysis and grouped into 2 evidence-based functional networks, containing 29 and 27 additional “connector” molecules. The expression of genes, corresponding to connector molecules was then tested in the initial RNA-seq data. 3 genes showed similar expression difference in both treated and non-treated RA patients and additional nine genes were differentially expressed in at least one patients’ group compared to healthy controls. Conclusion: Integration of RNA-seq data with findings from association studies, and consequent pathway analysis implicate new candidate genes in the pathogenesis of RA.
