Project description:<p>The SEA study is a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with premature atherosclerosis in subjects included in the Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY) repository - a unique NHLBI resource including data, DNA and arterial specimens from over 3000 multi-ethnic subjects 15-34 years of age who died of non-atherosclerotic causes (mostly trauma). All PDAY subjects had post-mortem quantitative assessment of raised atherosclerotic lesions in their aorta and coronary arteries - making this the largest and most carefully phenotyped cohort for premature atherosclerosis in the world. The goal of the current project was to use the quantitative measure of raised atherosclerotic lesions in the PDAY cohort as the target phenotype for a genome-wide association study and to use quantitative measures of subclinical atherosclerosis (coronary calcium and carotid IMT) in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) to confirm or refute candidate loci identified from the PDAY analysis. Identifying genetic factors that predispose individuals to premature atherosclerosis could lead to more effective screening and early treatment of high risk individuals and suggest novel molecular targets for treatment and prevention interventions.</p>

Project description:ApoC-III is a proatherogenic protein associated with elevated triglycerides; its deficiency is associated with reduced atherosclerosis. Mixed dyslipidemia, characterized by elevated triglyceride and apoC-III levels and low HDL cholesterol level, with or without elevated LDL cholesterol, increases cardiovascular disease risk and is commonly treated with combined statin and fibrate therapy. We sought to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with apoC-III level response to combination therapy with statins and fenofibric acid (FA) in individuals with mixed dyslipidemia. Participants in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study examining response to FA alone and in combination with statin were genotyped for candidate SNPs. Association between genotyed SNPs and APOC3 response to therapy was conducted

Participants in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study examining response to FA alone and in combination with statin were genotyped for candidate SNPs. Genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood was genotyped using a custom GoldenGate bead array encompassing 384 SNPs (Illumina). Multivariate linear regression and 2-way ANOVA for percent change in apoC-III level were performed between the groups receiving FA alone compared with FA+statin compared with statin alone.

Project description:Pubertal development in males starts with the onset of spermatogenesis that implies the division of primary spermatogonia and their subsequent entry into meiosis. Whole genome microarray expression profile was used as a means to explore the molecular basis underlying the onset of pubertal development in sea bass. The present study is aimed at the characterization of the expression of genes involved in the onset of spermatogenesis in the European sea bass. The study is focused on the first stages of the process including the appearance of spermatocytes and thus the first meiotic divisions. The transcriptomic study using a sea bass-specific microarray resulted in a number of genes differentially expressed during the onset of spermatogenesis. Among those, genes involved in cell-cycle progression, microtubule assembly during meiosis or retinoic acid signaling pathway indicating that they can be used as potential molecular markers for the onset of spermatogenesis in sea bass.

Project description:Goal of the experiment: To examine differential gene expression in the iliac arteries of cynomolgous monkeys in the presence of small, medium, or large atherosclerotic plaque. Brief description of the experiment: Objective: To examine global gene expression patterns in the iliac arteries of monkeys containing small, medium, or large atherosclerotic plaque. Design: The left iliac artery of 12 ovariectomized cynomolgous monkeys on a high fat diet for 8 years was biopsied. Gene expression was analyzed by DNA microarray and real time RT-PCR. Results: Significant up- or down-regulation of 986 genes was observed in monkey iliac arteries in the presence of atherosclerotic plaque. Changes in gene expression with atherosclerosis ranged from 0.1-151.9-fold. Differentially expressed genes included many cytokines, chemokines, components of signal transduction pathways, and transcriptional activators and repressors, among others. Real time RT-PCR confirmed down-regulation of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), claudin 11, BH protocadherin 7 (PCDH7), and the up-regulation of apolipoprotein E (ApoE), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), SET domain, bifurcated 2 (SETDB2), phospholipase A2 group IIA (PLA2IIA), phospholipase A2 group VII (PLA2VII), and ring finger protein 149 (RNF149). Conclusions: The gene expression environment in arteries containing atherosclerotic plaque is profoundly different from that of arteries without atherosclerosis. The data suggest that the changes in gene expression contribute to the disease process in diseased arteries.
