Abstract

Item does not contain fulltext, DICER1 syndrome is a tumor predisposition syndrome that is associated with up to 30 different neoplastic lesions, usually affecting children and adolescents. Here we identify a group of mesenchymal tumors which is highly associated with DICER1 syndrome, and molecularly distinct from other DICER1-associated tumors. This group of DICER1-associated mesenchymal tumors encompasses multiple well-established clinicopathological tumor entities and can be further divided into three clinically meaningful classes designated "low-grade mesenchymal tumor with DICER1 alteration" (LGMT DICER1), "sarcoma with DICER1 alteration" (SARC DICER1), and primary intracranial sarcoma with DICER1 alteration (PIS DICER1). Our study not only provides a combined approach to classify DICER1-associated neoplasms for improved clinical management but also suggests a role for global hypomethylation and other recurrent molecular events in sarcomatous differentiation in mesenchymal tumors with DICER1 alteration. Our results will facilitate future investigations into prognostication and therapeutic approaches for affected patients.

Abstract

Sarcomas are malignant soft tissue and bone tumours affecting adults, adolescents and children. They represent a morphologically heterogeneous class of tumours and some entities lack defining histopathological features. Therefore, the diagnosis of sarcomas is burdened with a high inter-observer variability and misclassification rate. Here, we demonstrate classification of soft tissue and bone tumours using a machine learning classifier algorithm based on array-generated DNA methylation data. This sarcoma classifier is trained using a dataset of 1077 methylation profiles from comprehensively pre-characterized cases comprising 62 tumour methylation classes constituting a broad range of soft tissue and bone sarcoma subtypes across the entire age spectrum. The performance is validated in a cohort of 428 sarcomatous tumours, of which 322 cases were classified by the sarcoma classifier. Our results demonstrate the potential of the DNA methylation-based sarcoma classification for research and future diagnostic applications.

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 205528.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access), Two percent of patients with Wilms tumors have a positive family history. In many of these cases the genetic cause remains unresolved. By applying germline exome sequencing in two families with two affected individuals with Wilms tumors, we identified truncating mutations in TRIM28. Subsequent mutational screening of germline and tumor DNA of 269 children affected by Wilms tumor was performed, and revealed seven additional individuals with germline truncating mutations, and one individual with a somatic truncating mutation in TRIM28. TRIM28 encodes a complex scaffold protein involved in many different processes, including gene silencing, DNA repair and maintenance of genomic integrity. Expression studies on mRNA and protein level showed reduction of TRIM28, confirming a loss-of-function effect of the mutations identified. The tumors showed an epithelial-type histology that stained negative for TRIM28 by immunohistochemistry. The tumors were bilateral in six patients, and 10/11 tumors are accompanied by perilobar nephrogenic rests. Exome sequencing on eight tumor DNA samples from six individuals showed loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) of the TRIM28-locus by mitotic recombination in seven tumors, suggesting that TRIM28 functions as a tumor suppressor gene in Wilms tumor development. Additionally, the tumors showed very few mutations in known Wilms tumor driver genes, suggesting that loss of TRIM28 is the main driver of tumorigenesis. In conclusion, we identified heterozygous germline truncating mutations in TRIM28 in 11 children with mainly epithelial-type Wilms tumors, which become homozygous in tumor tissue. These data establish TRIM28 as a novel Wilms tumor predisposition gene, acting as a tumor suppressor gene by LOH.

Abstract

Brugada syndrome is a rare cardiac arrhythmia disorder, causally related to SCN5A mutations in around 20% of cases. Through a genome-wide association study of 312 individuals with Brugada syndrome and 1,115 controls, we detected 2 significant association signals at the SCN10A locus (rs10428132) and near the HEY2 gene (rs9388451). Independent replication confirmed both signals (meta-analyses: rs10428132, P = 1.0 × 10 -68; rs9388451, P = 5.1 × 10 -17) and identified one additional signal in SCN5A (at 3p21; rs11708996, P = 1.0 × 10 -14). The cumulative effect of the three loci on disease susceptibility was unexpectedly large (P trend = 6.1 × 10 -81). The association signals at SCN5A-SCN10A demonstrate that genetic polymorphisms modulating cardiac conduction can also influence susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmia. The implication of association with HEY2, supported by new evidence that Hey2 regulates cardiac electrical activity, shows that Brugada syndrome may originate from altered transcriptional programming during cardiac development. Altogether, our findings indicate that common genetic variation can have a strong impact on the predisposition to rare diseases

Abstract

Delta-Notch signaling affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation, and apoptotic programs influencing organ formation and morphogenesis. We have identified three mammalian genes, Hey1, Hey2, and HeyL, which possess high similarity to the Drosophila Notch-target genes hairy and the Enhancer of split complex genes. In situ hybridization revealed a distinct expression pattern of HeyL during neurogenesis, somitogenesis, blood vessel formation, and development of other organs. GFP fusion as well as direct antibody staining showed a nuclear localization of the HeyL protein. Notch-dependent expression was confirmed by HeyL promoter studies as well as HeyL expression analysis in Delta-like 1 (Dll1) and Notch1 knockout mice and in Notch1-overexpressing mice. For functional analysis of HeyL the exons 2 to 4, encoding the bHLH domain, were replaced with a lacZ cassette. HeyL expression sites, as shown by in situ hybridization, could be confirmed by [Beta]-Gal staining of whole-mount knockout mouse embryos. In adult mouse organs lacZ expression was detected in the capillary blood vessels especially of the lung, heart, and brain. Knockout mice from the F2 backcross generation are born at expected Mendelian ratio and appear healthy and fertile. Further characterization of these mice as well as generation of double knockout mice is currently under way.

Abstract

The vertebrate Hey genes (Hey1, Hey2, HeyL) constitute a family of hairy- and Enhancer-of-split-related bHLH genes. Related genes were detected in other vertebrates species like chicken, Xenopus, and fish. Hey genes are dynamically expressed during mouse development with an emphasis on somitogenesis, neurogenesis, and cardiovascular morphogenesis. Hey genes can homodimerize or heterodimerize with related bHLH factors in the nucleus and function as Notch-regulated transcriptional repressors similar to Hes genes. A distinct E-box has been identified as the preferred target, but Hey target genes have yet to be identified. The zebrafish gridlock gene (Hey2) is involved in aortic development. To elucidate the role of mammalian Hey genes knockout mice were generated. Complete loss of Hey1 or HeyL did not lead to any obvious developmental defects. Despite the intriguing oscillating expression of Hey2 in the presomitic mesoderm no alterations of somitogenesis in Hey2 knockout animals were seen. However, Hey2 loss resulted in very high postnatal lethality likely due to cardiac problems. Gross changes in heart size and shape are seen postnatally. Histological and morphometric analysis suggests massive hypertrophy with activated myocytes, a concomittant loss of contractile elements, and functional impairment. A subset of knockout mice is able to compensate for this after prolonged wasting periods. The molecular basis is currently being investigated by comparison of global expression patterns. In situ hybridization of several cardiac marker genes did not yet reveal substantial deregulation of gene expression.

Abstract

Hey genes (Hey1, Hey2, HeyL) form a new subfamily of hairy-related bHLH genes that is distinct from the known vertebrate Hes or Her genes. Sequence comparison predicts Hey proteins to function as transcriptional repressors, while critical changes in the basic region and the C-terminus suggest unique interaction properties. The HeyL protein localises to the nucleus as expected and all Hey proteins can form homo- and heterodimers, but they also interact with a subset of the ubiquitous class A bHLH proteins. Binding site selection experiments with Hey1 identified a subset of E-box sequences that is also recognised by the other Hey proteins. Analysis of the mouse and human genomic loci showed a 5 exon structure and suggested a number of candidate diseases/mutants, most of which could be excluded, however. Promoter studies revealed a Notch-dependent expression of Hey genes that greatly expands the number of developmentally interesting Notch targets beyond Hes1/5. Hey genes are dynamically expressed in multiple tissues during mouse development with an emphasis on somitogenesis, neurogenesis and cardiovascular morphogenesis. Detailed analysis of chick somitogenesis revealed a rhythmic expression of Hey2 in the presomitic mesoderm that resembles the oscillating pattern of c-hairy1 expression. Direct interaction between Hey proteins and c-hairy1 suggests that they form a dynamic and combinatorial system of bHLH factors involved in somite formation and patterning.

Abstract

One of the challenges confronting contemporary education internationally is to ensure that students are provided with opportunities to make informed choices about future careers and to acquire the capacity to transition into these careers. Schools need to manage their curricula, teacher capacity, timetables, and diversity of student populations by offering pathways that are seen as engaging and meaningful to life beyond schooling. Traditionally, education in the senior years has privileged those students who intend to progress to advanced studies at university or in other professional careers. In more recent times, in response the need for more sophisticated technical knowledge in the trades and a growing skills shortages in these fields, schools have paid more attention to vocational education. It has been argued that the vocational aspect of the school curriculum is less well understood and poorly implemented in comparison with the traditional academic curricula. One attempt to address this issue is through the establishment of school-industry partnerships. This paper explores the process of knowledge transfer between industry and schools in these partnerships. The paper theorises how knowledge that is valued and foundational in workplace employment can inform school curricula and pedagogical practices. The paper draws on theories of organisational knowledge, workplace learning and experiential learning to explore strategies that enhance school-to-employment transition outcomes.

Abstract

With a new kind of barrier coating material, inorganic-organic polymers, it is possible to obtain high-barrier properties with respect to the permeation rates of oxygen, water vapor and volatile organic compounds. The hybrid polymers are accessible via the sol-gel technique. The inorganic network is formed as a result of controlled hydrolysis and condensation of alkoxysilanes, organoalkoxysilanes, acrylosysilanes or metal alcoholates. The organic network results from subsequent thermal or UV-induced polymerization of organo-functional groups. Due to the control of the inorganic and organic network densities and the insertion of specific functional groups to control the polarity of the resulting material, it was possible to develop high-barrier coatings with excellent adhesion properties on a wide variety of polymer films. These high-barrier coatings are also suitable as adhesives which can be used in laminates. The properties of the processable multilayer structures are preserved to a much higher extent than with other comparable, commercially available materials even under high mechanical and thermal stress and storage in humidity.

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 51945.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access), Congenital heart defects affect almost 1% of human newborns. Recently, mutations in Notch ligands and receptors have been found to cause a variety of heart defects in rodents and humans. However, the molecular effects downstream of Notch are still poorly understood. Here we report that combined inactivation of Hey1 and HeyL, two primary target genes of Notch, causes severe heart malformations, including membranous ventricular septal defects and dysplastic atrioventricular and pulmonary valves. These defects lead to congestive cardiac failure with high lethality. We found both genes to be coexpressed with Notch1, Notch2 and the Notch ligand Jagged1 in the endocardium of the atrioventricular canal, representing the primary source of mesenchymal cells forming membraneous septum and valves. Atrioventricular explants from Hey1/HeyL deficient mice exhibited impaired epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Although epithelial to mesenchymal transition was initiated regularly, full transformation into mesenchymal cells failed. This was accompanied by reduced levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression and reduced cell density in endocardial cushions in vivo. We further show that loss of Hey2 leads to very similar deficiencies, whereas a Notch1 null mutation completely abolishes epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Thus, the Hey gene family shows overlap in controlling Notch induced endocardial epithelial to mesenchymal transition, a process critical for valve and septum formation.

Abstract

Depending on the carrier material, inorganic-organic hybrid polymers lower the oxygen- and water vapour permeabiltiy by the factor 500 and 3 respectively. By coating SiOx vapour-deposited films, both the oxygen- and also the water vapour high-barrier range is reached. With the use of ORMOCERES as barrier-laminating adhesives, the laminating composites show improved interlayer adhesion- and oxygen barrier properties compared with commercially available laminating adhesives. In combination with SiOx vapour-deposited films, one obtains transparent, high-barrier composites with excellent interlayer adhesion and stability vis-a-vis mechanical stress and sterilization.
