Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a heterogeneous inflammatory condition involving multiple immune pathways mediated by pathogenic T cells. OX40 ligand (OX40L) and OX40 are costimulatory immune checkpoint molecules that regulate effector and memory T-cell activity and promote sustained immune responses in multiple immunological pathways, including T helper (Th)2, Th1, Th17 and Th22. As such, OX40L/OX40 signalling between antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and activated T cells postantigen recognition promotes pathogenic T-cell proliferation and survival. Under inflammatory conditions, OX40L is upregulated on APCs, enhancing the magnitude of antigen-specific T-cell responses and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. In AD, OX40L/OX40 signalling contributes to the amplification and chronic persistence of T-cell-mediated inflammation. Recent therapeutic success in clinical trials has highlighted the importance of the OX40L/OX40 axis as a promising target for the treatment of AD. Here, we discuss the many factors that are involved in the expression of OX40L and OX40, including the cytokine milieu, antigen presentation, the inflammatory environment in AD, and the therapeutic direction influenced by this costimulatory pathway.

Abstract

Molecular networks governing responses to targeted therapies in cancer cells are complex dynamic systems that demonstrate nonintuitive behaviors. We applied a novel computational strategy to infer probabilistic causal relationships between network components based on gene expression. We constructed a model comprised of an ensemble of networks using multidimensional data from cell line models of cell-cycle arrest caused by inhibition of MEK1/2. Through simulation of a reverse-engineered Bayesian network model, we generated predictions of G1-S transition. The model identified known components of the cell-cycle machinery, such as CCND1, CCNE2, and CDC25A, as well as revealed novel regulators of G1-S transition, IER2, TRIB1, TRIM27. Experimental validation of model predictions confirmed 10 of 12 predicted genes to have a role in G1-S progression. Further analysis showed that TRIB1 regulated the cyclin D1 promoter via NFκB and AP-1 sites and sensitized cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. In clinical specimens of breast cancer, TRIB1 levels correlated with expression of NFκB and its target genes (IL8, CSF2), and TRIB1 copy number and expression were predictive of clinical outcome. Together, our results establish a critical role of TRIB1 in cell cycle and survival that is mediated via the modulation of NFκB signaling. Cancer Res; 77(7); 1575-85. ©2017 AACR.

Abstract

The negative stiffness damper (NSD) has emerged as a promising passive vibration control device for cable structures due to its simplicity and effectiveness. However, uncertainties stemming from both internal and external environmental factors can potentially compromise the NSD's performance in real‐world applications, posing risks to cable safety. In response, this paper conducts a robustness evaluation on an integrated cable‐NSD system, taking into account various potential uncertainties. Specifically, the uncertain parameters are described by interval variables. Consequently, an interval model is constructed to delineate the boundaries of cable dynamic responses when subjected to these uncertainties. The model's accuracy is validated against experimental results. Subsequent simulations involve assessing interval responses for both single‐ and multimode cable vibrations under varying uncertainties. Finally, the NSD's robustness concerning cable vibration control is evaluated using the model, which incorporates the first‐passage theory. This analysis delves into the relationships among confidence levels, performance measures, and the variation range of uncertainties. The results indicate that for single‐mode vibration control, there is a 90% confidence level that the damping ratio reduction remains within 10%. As for multimode vibration control, a 90% confidence level is established that the amplification falls within 17%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Publisher's version (útgefin grein), Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A small proportion of HF cases are attributable to monogenic cardiomyopathies and existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have yielded only limited insights, leaving the observed heritability of HF largely unexplained. We report results from a GWAS meta-analysis of HF comprising 47,309 cases and 930,014 controls. Twelve independent variants at 11 genomic loci are associated with HF, all of which demonstrate one or more associations with coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation, or reduced left ventricular function, suggesting shared genetic aetiology. Functional analysis of non-CAD-associated loci implicate genes involved in cardiac development (MYOZ1, SYNPO2L), protein homoeostasis (BAG3), and cellular senescence (CDKN1A). Mendelian randomisation analysis supports causal roles for several HF risk factors, and demonstrates CAD-independent effects for atrial fibrillation, body mass index, and hypertension. These findings extend our knowledge of the pathways underlying HF and may inform new therapeutic strategies., We acknowledge the contribution from the EchoGen Consortium.

Abstract

The amino acid sequence FXFP serves as docking site to mediate ERK nitrogen-activate protein (MAP) kinase binding to substrates in protein families. MAP kinases phosphorylate certain groups of substrate proteins. ERK substrates have been predicted and peptide inhibitors of ERK have been designed, based on findings including that that FXFP is specific for ERK, but that the D box mediates binding to ERK and JNK MAP kinase. It appears that partially overlapping substrate specificities of ERK and JNK come from recognition of unique shared docking sites.

26. Identification of potential cell-surface proteins in Candida albicans and investigation of the role of a putative cell-surface glycosidase in adhesion and virulence.

Abstract

Cell-surface proteins are attractive targets for the development of novel antifungals as they are more accessible to drugs than are intracellular targets. By using a computational biology approach, we identified 180 potential cell-surface proteins in Candida albicans, including the known cell-surface adhesin Als1 and other cell-surface antigens, such as Pra1 and Csa1. Six proteins (named Csf1-6 for cell-surface factors) were selected for further biological characterization. First, we verified that the selected CSF genes are expressed in the yeast and/or hyphal form and then we investigated the effect of the loss of each CSF gene on cell-wall integrity, filamentation, adhesion to mammalian cells and virulence. As a result, we identified Csf4, a putative glycosidase with an apparent orthologue in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Utr2), as an important factor for cell-wall integrity and maintenance. Interestingly, deletion of CSF4 also resulted in a defect in filamentation, a reduction in adherence to mammalian cells in an in vitro adhesion assay, and a prolongation of survival in an immunocompetent mouse model of disseminated candidiasis. A delay in colonization of key organs (e.g. kidney) was also observed, which is consistent with a reduction in virulence of the csf4-deletion strain. These data indicate a key role for extracellular glycosidases in fungal pathogenesis and represent a new site for therapeutic intervention to cure and prevent fungal disease.

Methods and results: The consortium currently includes 51 studies from 11 countries, including 68 157 heart failure cases and 949 888 controls, with data on heart failure events and prognosis. All studies collected biological samples and performed genome‐wide genotyping of common genetic variants. The enrolment of subjects into participating studies ranged from 1948 to the present day, and the median follow‐up following heart failure diagnosis ranged from 2 to 116 months. Forty‐nine of 51 individual studies enrolled participants of both sexes; in these studies, participants with heart failure were predominantly male (34–90%). The mean age at diagnosis or ascertainment across all studies ranged from 54 to 84 years. Based on the aggregate sample, we estimated 80% power to genetic variant associations with risk of heart failure with an odds ratio of ≥1.10 for common variants (allele frequency ≥ 0.05) and ≥1.20 for low‐frequency variants (allele frequency 0.01–0.05) at P < 5 × 10−8 under an additive genetic model. Conclusions: HERMES is a global collaboration aiming to (i) identify the genetic determinants of heart failure; (ii) generate insights into the causal pathways leading to heart failure and enable genetic approaches to target prioritization; and (iii) develop genomic tools for disease stratification and risk prediction.

CONCLUSIONS: HERMES is a global collaboration aiming to (i) identify the genetic determinants of heart failure; (ii) generate insights into the causal pathways leading to heart failure and enable genetic approaches to target prioritization; and (iii) develop genomic tools for disease stratification and risk prediction.

Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A small proportion of HF cases are attributable to monogenic cardiomyopathies and existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have yielded only limited insights, leaving the observed heritability of HF largely unexplained. We report results from a GWAS meta-analysis of HF comprising 47,309 cases and 930,014 controls. Twelve independent variants at 11 genomic loci are associated with HF, all of which demonstrate one or more associations with coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation, or reduced left ventricular function, suggesting shared genetic aetiology. Functional analysis of non-CAD-associated loci implicate genes involved in cardiac development (MYOZ1, SYNPO2L), protein homoeostasis (BAG3), and cellular senescence (CDKN1A). Mendelian randomisation analysis supports causal roles for several HF risk factors, and demonstrates CAD-independent effects for atrial fibrillation, body mass index, and hypertension. These findings extend our knowledge of the pathways underlying HF and may inform new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract

Aims: The HERMES (HEart failure Molecular Epidemiology for Therapeutic targetS) consortium aims to identify the genomic and molecular basis of heart failure., Methods and Results: The consortium currently includes 51 studies from 11 countries, including 68 157 heart failure cases and 949 888 controls, with data on heart failure events and prognosis. All studies collected biological samples and performed genome-wide genotyping of common genetic variants. The enrolment of subjects into participating studies ranged from 1948 to the present day, and the median follow-up following heart failure diagnosis ranged from 2 to 116 months. Forty-nine of 51 individual studies enrolled participants of both sexes; in these studies, participants with heart failure were predominantly male (34-90%). The mean age at diagnosis or ascertainment across all studies ranged from 54 to 84 years. Based on the aggregate sample, we estimated 80% power to genetic variant associations with risk of heart failure with an odds ratio of ≥1.10 for common variants (allele frequency ≥ 0.05) and ≥1.20 for low-frequency variants (allele frequency 0.01-0.05) at P < 5 × 10 -8 under an additive genetic model., Conclusions: HERMES is a global collaboration aiming to (i) identify the genetic determinants of heart failure; (ii) generate insights into the causal pathways leading to heart failure and enable genetic approaches to target prioritization; and (iii) develop genomic tools for disease stratification and risk prediction., (© 2021 The Authors.

Abstract

T cell migration toward sites of antigen exposure is mediated by G protein signaling and is a key function in the development of immune responses. Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins modulate G protein signaling; however, their role in the regulation of adaptive immune responses has not been thoroughly explored. Herein we demonstrated abundant expression of the Gi/Gq-specific RGS3 in activated T cells, and that diminished RGS3 expression in a T cell thymoma increased cytokine-induced migration. To examine the role of endogenous RGS3 in vivo, mice deficient in the RGS domain (RGS3(ΔRGS)) were generated and tested in an experimental model of asthma. Compared with littermate controls, the inflammation in the RGS3(ΔRGS) mice was characterized by increased T cell numbers and the striking development of perivascular lymphoid structures. Surprisingly, while innate inflammatory cells were also increased in the lungs of RGS3(ΔRGS) mice, eosinophil numbers and Th2 cytokine production were equivalent to control mice. In contrast, T cell numbers in the draining lymph nodes (dLN) were reduced in the RGS3(ΔRGS), demonstrating a redistribution of T cells from the dLN to the lungs via increased RGS3(ΔRGS) T cell migration. Together these novel findings show a nonredundant role for endogenous RGS3 in controlling T cell migration in vitro and in an in vivo model of inflammation.

Abstract

The laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) is an indispensable tool in experimental medicine and drug development, having made inestimable contributions to human health. We report here the genome sequence of the Brown Norway (BN) rat strain. The sequence represents a high-quality 'draft' covering over 90% of the genome. The BN rat sequence is the third complete mammalian genome to be deciphered, and three-way comparisons with the human and mouse genomes resolve details of mammalian evolution. This first comprehensive analysis includes genes and proteins and their relation to human disease, repeated sequences, comparative genome-wide studies of mammalian orthologous chromosomal regions and rearrangement breakpoints, reconstruction of ancestral karyotypes and the events leading to existing species, rates of variation, and lineage-specific and lineage-independent evolutionary events such as expansion of gene families, orthology relations and protein evolution.
