Functional characterization of the novel GWAS-identified GP2 coding variant

ABSTRACT: In a meta-analysis of three GWASs in the Japanese population, we identified a novel locus at 16p12.3 significantly associated with pancreatic cancer susceptibility. A series of experiments were performed to explore the functional impact of the nonsynonymous lead SNP rs78193826 of the GP2 gene at 16p12.3 on global gene expression. Based on CRISPR-Cas9-induced mutation, RNA-seq, and GSEA analyses, we demonstrated that the functional relevance of rs78193826 may involve modulation of KRAS activity.

A Key GWAS-Identified Genetic Variant Contributes to Hyperlipidemia by Upregulating miR-320a.

Project description:It has been unclear whether the elevated levels of the circulating miR-320a in patients with coronary artery disease is due to environmental influence or genetic basis. By recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-mediated loss- and gain-of-function studies in the mouse liver, we revealed that elevated miR-320a is sufficient to aggravate diet-induced hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis. Then, we analyzed the data from published genome-wide association studies and identified the rs12541335 associated with hyperlipidemia. We demonstrated that the rs13282783 T allele indeed obligated the silencer activity by preventing the repressor ZFP161 and co-repressor HDAC2 from binding to DNA that led to miR-320a upregulation. We further confirmed this genetic connection on an independent population and through direct genome editing in liver cells. Besides environmental (diet) influence, we established a genetic component in the regulation of miR-320a expression, which suggest a potential therapeutic avenue to treat coronary artery disease by blocking miR-320a in patient liver.

RNA sequencing of peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from Korean patients with asthma

Project description:More than 200 asthma-associated genetic variants have been identified in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data resources can help identify causal genes of the GWAS signals, but it can be difficult to find an eQTL that reflects the disease state because most eQTL data are obtained from normal healthy subjects. We performed a blood eQTL analysis using transcriptomic and genotypic data from 436 Korean asthma patients. To identify asthma-related genes, we carried out colocalization and Summary-based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) analysis using the results of asthma GWASs and eQTL data. In addition, we compared the results of disease eQTL data and asthma-related genes with two normal blood eQTL data from Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project and a Japanese study. We identified 342,054 cis-eQTL and 2,931 eGenes from asthmatic eQTL analysis. We compared the disease eQTL results with GTEx and a Japanese study and found that 63.2 % of the 2,931 eGenes overlapped with the GTEx eGenes and 38.5 % with the Japanese eGenes. Following the integrated analysis of the asthmatic eQTL data with asthma GWASs, using colocalization and SMR methods, we identified 13 asthma-related genes specific to the Korean asthmatic eQTL data. We provided Korean asthmatic cis-eQTL data and identified asthma-related genes by integrating them with GWAS data. In addition, we suggested these asthma-related genes as therapeutic targets for asthma. We envisage that our findings will contribute to understanding the etiological mechanisms of asthma and provide novel therapeutic targets.

Bone density loci identified by genome-wide association studies segregate a lineage-specific PU.1-dependent gene regulatory network in osteoclasts [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been instrumental in understanding complex phenotypic traits. However, they have rarely been used to understand lineage-specific pathways and functions that contribute to the trait. In this study, by integrating publicly available lineage-specific enhancers from mesenchymal and myeloid compartments with bone mineral density loci, we were able to segregate osteoblast- and osteoclast (OC)-specific functions. Specifically, in OCs, a PU.1-dependent transcription factor (TF) network was revealed. Further we conducted functional genomic analysis PU.1 and MITF genome wide binding with corresponding gene expression analysis which revealed a TF network essential for OC differentiation. Several of these TFs were regulated by cooperative binding of PU.1 with BRD4 to form superenhancers. Further, PU.1 is essential for conformational changes in the superenhancer region of Nfatc1. In summary, our study demonstrates that utilizing GWASs with genome-wide binding studies as a filter helps to decipher lineage-specific pathways contributing to complex disease states.

A splicing variant of TERT identified by GWAS interacts with menopausal estrogen therapy in risk of ovarian cancer.

Project description:Menopausal estrogen-alone therapy (ET) is a well-established risk factor for serous and endometrioid ovarian cancer. Genetics also plays a role in ovarian cancer, which is partly attributable to 18 confirmed ovarian cancer susceptibility loci identified by genome-wide association studies. The interplay among these loci, ET use and ovarian cancer risk has yet to be evaluated. We analyzed data from 1,414 serous cases, 337 endometrioid cases and 4,051 controls across 10 case-control studies participating in the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC). Conditional logistic regression was used to determine the association between the confirmed susceptibility variants and risk of serous and endometrioid ovarian cancer among ET users and non-users separately and to test for statistical interaction. A splicing variant in TERT, rs10069690, showed a statistically significant interaction with ET use for risk of serous ovarian cancer (pint ?=?0.013). ET users carrying the T allele had a 51% increased risk of disease (OR?=?1.51, 95% CI 1.19-1.91), which was stronger for long-term ET users of 10+ years (OR?=?1.85, 95% CI 1.28-2.66, pint ?=?0.034). Non-users showed essentially no association (OR?=?1.08, 95% CI 0.96-1.21). Two additional genomic regions harboring rs7207826 (C allele) and rs56318008 (T allele) also had significant interactions with ET use for the endometrioid histotype (pint ?=?0.021 and pint ?=?0.037, respectively). Hence, three confirmed susceptibility variants were identified whose associations with ovarian cancer risk are modified by ET exposure; follow-up is warranted given that these interactions are not adjusted for multiple comparisons. These findings, if validated, may elucidate the mechanism of action of these loci.

GWAS-identified hyperuricemia-associated IGF1R variant rs6598541 has a limited role in urate mediated inflammation in human mononuclear cells.

Project description:Gout is a common autoinflammatory joint diseases characterized by deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals which trigger an innate immune response mediated by inflammatory cytokines. IGF1R is one of the loci associated with both urate levels and gout susceptibility in GWAS to date, and IGF-1-IGF-1R signaling is implicated in urate control. We investigate the role of IGF-1/IGF1R signaling in the context of gouty inflammation. Also, we test the gout and urate-associated IGF1R rs6598541 polymorphism for association with the inflammatory capacity of mononuclear cells. For this, freshly isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were exposed to recombinant IGF-1 or anti-IGF1R neutralizing antibody in the presence or absence of solubilized urate, stimulated with LPS/MSU crystals. Also, the association of rs6598541 with IGF1R and protein expression and with ex vivo cytokine production levels after stimulation with gout specific stimuli was tested. Urate exposure was not associated with IGF1R expression in vitro or in vivo. Modulation of IGF1R did not alter urate-induced inflammation. Developing urate-induced trained immunity in vitro was not influenced in cells challenged with IGF-1 recombinant protein. Moreover, the IGF1R rs6598541 SNP was not associated with cytokine production. Our results indicate that urate-induced inflammatory priming is not regulated by IGF-1/IGF1R signaling in vitro. IGF1R rs6598541 status was not asociated with IGF1R expression or cytokine production in primary human PBMCs. This study suggests that the role of IGF1R in gout is tissue-specific and may be more relevant in the control of urate levels rather than in inflammatory signaling in gout.

High-throughput functional dissection of noncoding SNPs with biased allelic enhancer activity for insulin resistance-relevant phenotypes

Project description:The majority of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with insulin resistance (IR)-relevant phenotypes by genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are located in noncoding regions, complicating their functional interpretation. Here, we utilized an adapted STARR-seq to systematically detect regulatory activity of 5,987 noncoding GWASs SNPs in three IR-relevant cell lines. We identified 876 SNPs with biased allelic enhancer activity across 133 loci, and further uncovered the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying functional SNPs through integrating multi-omics analyses.

Restless Legs Syndrome-associated variant in MEIS1 confers altered gene expression in embryonic ganglionic eminences

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) identified the MEIS1 locus for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), but causal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the functional relevance have remained to be elucidated. The MEIS1 locus contains an exceptionally large number of highly conserved non-coding regions (HCNRs), which potentially function as cis-regulatory modules. We analyzed the HCNRs in the RLS-associated linkage disequilibrium (LD) block for allele-dependent enhancer activity in both zebrafish and mouse, comparing the protective and risk alleles of RLS-associated common variants. We found one enhancer, harboring the lead SNP rs12469063, which showed an allele-dependent reduction of reporter gene expression exclusively in the embryonic ganglionic eminences at developmental stage E12.5. Notably, the reporter activity overlapped with the endogenous telencephalic Meis1 expression domain, which co-localized with transcripts of all four validated RLS loci. Thus, the developing telencephalon represents the first neuroanatomic region implicated for RLS based on GWAS findings. Total RNA obtained from 2-3 male and female mice E12.5 (wildtype, heterzygote, homozygote) and 3-4 male heterozygote and wildtype mice (adult)

Animal models of GWAS-identified type 2 diabetes genes.

Project description:More than 65 loci, encoding up to 500 different genes, have been implicated by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) as conferring an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Whilst mouse models have in the past been central to understanding the mechanisms through which more penetrant risk genes for T2D, for example, those responsible for neonatal or maturity-onset diabetes of the young, only a few of those identified by GWAS, notably TCF7L2 and ZnT8/SLC30A8, have to date been examined in mouse models. We discuss here the animal models available for the latter genes and provide perspectives for future, higher throughput approaches towards efficiently mining the information provided by human genetics.
