Project description:26 limb-girdle muscular dystrophy patients from Latvia and 34 patients from Lithuania with clinical symptoms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophies, along with 204 healthy unrelated controls were genotyped for 96 most frequent known limb-girdle muscular dystrophies causing mutations for the region, using VeraCode GoldenGate system.

Project description:The initial factor in the occurrence, development, and prognosis of cerebral ischemia is vascular dysfunction in the brain, and vascular remodeling of the brain is the key therapeutic target and strategy for ischemic tissue repair. Limb remote ischemic preconditioning exhibits potential pleiotropic protective effects in many brain-related diseases, including stroke.Whether limb remote ischemic preconditioning has other effects such as vascular protective effects and the detailed mechanism by which limb remote ischemic preconditioning improves pathology and angiogenesis in cerebral ischemia remains to be further elucidated. The present study was designed to investigate whether limb remote ischemic preconditioning protects vascular structure and promotes angiogenesis in cerebral ischemic rats.

Project description:Distinctions between craniofacial and axial muscles exist from the onset of development and throughout adulthood. The masticatory muscles are a specialized group of craniofacial muscles that retain embryonic fiber properties throughout adulthood, suggesting that the developmental origin of these muscles may govern a pattern of expression that differs from limb muscles. To determine the extent of these differences, expression profiling of total RNA isolated from the masseter and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of adult female mice was performed, which identified transcriptional changes in unanticipated functional classes of genes in addition to those associated with fiber type. In particular, the masseters displayed a reduction of transcripts associated with load-sensing and anabolic processes, and heightened expression of genes associated with stress. Consistent with these observations were a significantly smaller fiber cross-sectional area in masseters, significantly elevated load-sensing signaling (phosphorylated Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK)), and increased apoptotic index in masseters compared to TA muscles. Based on these results, we hypothesize that masticatory muscles may sense and respond to load differently than limb muscles, where the drive for anabolic processes is reduced, and cell stress mediated processes are enhanced. These results establish a novel classification for the masseter muscle in the spectrum of skeletal muscle allotypes, and may provide insight into the molecular basis for specific muscle-related pathologies associated with masticatory muscles.

Experiment Overall Design: Tissues were isolated from normal adult female mice (C57Bl/6), age 6 months. Paired comparisons between masseter and tibialis anterior muscles were performed on all present genes using "Significance Analysis of Microarrays" (SAM) to identify differentially expressed genes between masticatory and axial muscles.

Project description:Gene deserts spanning more than 500kb of non-protein coding genomic sequence are considered evolutionarily ancient and stable and are enriched in the vicinity of developmental regulator genes (Ovcharenko 2005). These extensive genomic regions typically harbor numerous conserved elements with predicted gene regulatory potential pointing to critical tissue-specific functions during development. Nevertheless, the biological necessity and underlying funtional enhancer landscapes of most gene deserts near developmental transcription factors (TFs) remain unknown, and it is unclear how precise pleiotropic expression patterns emerge from gene desert sequence. Here, we investigated the cis-regulatory architecture and function of a gene desert flanking the mouse Shox2 transcriptional regulator which itself is essential for embryonic limb, craniofacial, and cardiac pacemaker development. By combining epigenomic enhancer prediction, transgenic reporter validation and region-specific chromatin capture (C-HiC), we define the embryonic in vivo enhancer landscape and chromatin topology of the Shox2 gene desert. Targeted and context-specific genomic deletions uncover the gene desert not only as a regulator of embryonic survival through enhancer-mediated control of cardiac Shox2 expression, but also link distinct subsets of tissue-specific gene desert enhancers to the regulation of craniofacial patterning and proximal limb development. Our results hence identify the Shox2 gene desert as a fundamental genomic unit indispensable for pleiotropic patterning, robust organ morphogenesis and embryonic development progression by serving as a dynamic hub for tissue-specific developmental enhancers.
