The high-quality brush hair, or Type III brush hair, is coarse hair but with a tip and little medulla, which uniquely grows in the cervical carina of Chinese Haimen goat ( Capra hircus ). To unveil the mechanism of the formation of Type III brush hair in Haimen goats, transcriptomic RNAseq technology was used for screening of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the skin samples of the Type III and the non-Type III hair goats, and these DEGs were analysed by KEGG pathway analysis. The results showed that a total of 295 DEGs were obtained, mainly from three main functional types: cellular component, molecular function and biological process. These DEGs were mainly enriched in three KEGG pathways, such as protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, MAPK, and complement and coagulation cascades. These DEGs gave hints to a possible mechanism, under which heat stress possibly initiated the formation. The study provided some useful biological information, which could give a new view about the roles of certain factors in hair growth and give hints on the mechanism of the formation of the Type III brush hair in Chinese Haimen goat.

BackgroundNeuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system and it is understandable that environmental and genetic factors underlie the etiology of NMOSD. However, the susceptibility genes and associated pathways of NMOSD patients who are AQP4-Ab positive and negative have not been elucidated.MethodsSecondary analysis from a NMOSD Genome-wide association study (GWAS) dataset originally published in 2018 (215 NMOSD cases and 1244 controls) was conducted to identify potential susceptibility genes and associated pathways in AQP4-positive and negative NMOSD patients, respectively (132 AQP4-positive and 83 AQP4-negative).ResultsIn AQP4-positive NMOSD cases, five shared risk genes were obtained at chromosome 6 in AQP4-positive NMOSD cases by using more stringent p-Values in both methods (p < 0.05/16,532), comprising CFB, EHMT2, HLA-DQA1, MSH5, and SLC44A4. Fifty potential susceptibility gene sets were determined and 12 significant KEGG pathways were identified. Sixty-seven biological process pathways, 32 cellular-component pathways, and 29 molecular-function pathways with a p-Value of <0.05 were obtained from the GO annotations of the 128 pathways identified. In the AQP4 negative NMOSD group, no significant genes were obtained by using more stringent p-Values in both methods (p < 0.05/16,485). The 22 potential susceptibility gene sets were determined. There were no shared potential susceptibility genes between the AQP4-positive and negative groups, furthermore, four significant KEGG pathways were also identified. Of the GO annotations of the 165 pathways identified, 99 biological process pathways, 37 cellular-component pathways, and 29 molecular-function pathways with a p-Value of <0.05 were obtained.ConclusionThe potential molecular mechanism underlying NMOSD may be related to proteins encoded by these novel genes in complements, antigen presentation, and immune regulation. The new results may represent an improved comprehension of the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying NMOSD.

AbstractAberrant immune activation is associated with numerous inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and contributes to cancer development and progression. Within the stomach, inflammation drives a well-established sequence from gastritis to metaplasia, eventually resulting in adenocarcinoma. Unfortunately, the processes that regulate gastric inflammation and prevent carcinogenesis remain unknown. Tristetraprolin (TTP) is an RNA-binding protein that promotes the turnover of numerous pro-inflammatory and oncogenic mRNAs. Here, we utilized a TTP-overexpressing model, the TTPΔARE mouse, to examine whether TTP can protect the stomach from adrenalectomy (ADX)-induced gastric inflammation and spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). We found that TTPΔARE mice were completely protected from ADX-induced gastric inflammation and SPEM. RNA sequencing revealed that TTP overexpression suppressed the expression of genes associated with the innate immune response. Finally, we show that protection from gastric inflammation was only partially due to suppression of Tnf, a well-known TTP target. Our results demonstrate that TTP exerts broad anti-inflammatory effects in the stomach and suggest that therapies that increase TTP expression may be effective treatments of pro-neoplastic gastric inflammation.

Abstract The platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX receptor complex is expressed exclusively on the surface of platelets and is well characterized as a primary adhesion receptor supporting normal hemostasis and pathologic thrombosis. Beyond hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets can also participate in the innate immune response and inflammation. While the platelet as a contributor to the immune continuum is recognized, many aspects of the molecular mechanisms whereby platelets influence the immune response are still undefined. Here, we report studies using a murine model of GP Ib-IX deficiency linking GP Ib-IX to the immune response associated with polymicrobial sepsis, as modeled by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). In the CLP model, genetic absence of the major GP Ib-IX hemostatic ligand, von Willebrand factor (VWF), improves survival following CLP when compared to control wild-type animals (p= 0.003, Logrank analysis). This suggests a VWF role in thrombosis contributes to survival outcome following CLP. In contrast, genetic absence of the VWF platelet receptor, GP Ib-IX, does not improve survival with no statistical difference comparing wild-type animals to GPIb-IX deficient animals. The molecular basis to explain improved survival in VWF-deficient (ligand deficient) but not GPIb-IX deficient (receptor deficient) animals was pursued. We tested the hypothesis GPIb-IX has normal physiologic and pathophysiologic functions beyond platelet adhesion influencing infection and an inflammatory response. Indeed, GPIb-IX influencing the innate immune response is not completely unexpected since a hallmark structural feature of each subunit of the GPIb-IX receptor is leucine rich repeats, the common motif to all members of the toll like receptor family (TLRs). Whether structural similarities are a consequence of ancestral origins for GPIb-IX and TLRs is unknown. We first documented in the absence of murine platelet GP Ib-IX there are reduced platelet-neutrophil and platelet-monocyte interactions under normal conditions and following CLP in whole blood. Whether there are physiologic consequences for disrupting a platelet/monocyte and/or platelet/neutrophil axis was determined via multianalyte profiling of circulating cytokine levels on a Luminex analyzer following CLP. In the absence of GP Ib-IX there is a robust and statistically significant increase 24 hrs following CLP in some of the major proinflammatory cytokines produced by monocytes and macrophages, including TNFα, MCP-1, MIP-β, IL-6, and IL-15. Increases in cytokines, such as IL-5 and IL-13, associated with other immune cells were also observed. These results highlight a coagulation/inflammation interface where the platelet, and specifically GP Ib-IX, contributes to the pathophysiology of CLP. On the one hand, absence of platelet GPIb-IX reduces thrombotic potential, but it occurs at the expense of upregulation of inflammatory cytokine release leading to a reduced survival in CLP. Clearly, survival outcomes in CLP reflect a complex dysregulation of coagulation and inflammation where platelet GPIb-IX likely contributes to both processes with physiologic consequences. Understanding dysregulation of the coagulation/ inflammation interface and identifying a platelet receptor (GPIb-IX) critical to both adds new information to this complex set of pathophysiologic events Sharing the common structural motifs, leucine rich repeats, with the well characterized family of toll-like receptors, platelet GPIb-IX should now be considered an active participant in the inflammatory cascade. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

AbstractMITA (also known as STING) is an ER-located adaptor protein, which mediates DNA-triggered innate immune response and is critically involved in autoimmune diseases and tumorigenesis. MITA is regulated by post-translational modifications, but how post-transcriptional mechanisms are involved in the regulation of MITA is still largely unknown. Here, we identified the RNA-binding protein LUC7L2 as a negative regulator of DNA virus-triggered innate immune response. LUC7L2-deficient mice exhibited resistance to lethal herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection and reduced HSV-1 loads in the brain. Mechanistically, LUC7L2 directly bound to intron 3 of MITA precursor messenger RNA, inhibited its splicing and promoted its nonsense-mediated decay, leading to its downregulation at protein level. LUC7L2-deficient cells had markedly increased MITA level, leading to heightened innate antiviral response. Finally, LUC7L2 was induced following HSV-1 infection. Our findings reveal a feedback negative post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism for regulation of MITA-mediated innate immune response to viral and aberrant cellular DNA.

Abstract Background: The high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer could oxidize guanine into 8-oxoG resulting in A: T changed into G: C or G: C into A: T. Nudix hydrolase 1 (NUDT1) overexpressed in many kind of cancers could hydrolyze the 8-oxo-dGTP into 8-oxo-dGMP or pyrophosphate to prevent the DNA damage or gene mutation. However, the role and function of NUDT1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has not been investigated.Methods: Firstly, the bioinformatics methods were used to predict the biological process, cellular component and molecular function of NUDT1 and to confirm the mRNA and protein expression level of NUDT1 in OSCC. Furthermore, the MTT assay, Flow Cytometry, Transwell (Invasion), Scratch Test and Transwell (Migration) were used to test the effect of NUDT1 inhibitor on the proliferation, cell apoptosis, invasion and migration of CAL27. In addition, western blot was used to exam the expression level of NUDT1 and cleaved caspase-3 in different groups. Finally, the laser scanning microscope (LSM) was used to test the invadopodia formation level in different groups.Results: The bioinformatics analysis suggested that both mRNA and protein of NUDT1 overexpressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and OSCC. Furthermore, the biological process of NUDT1 mainly enriched in response to oxidative stress, aging, response to cadmium ion and male gonad development in OSCC. the cellular component of NUDT1 mainly enriched in extracellular exosome, cytoplasm, plasma membrane and nucleus in OSCC. The molecular function of NUDT1 mainly enriched in protein binding in OSCC. Finally, the biological experiments confirmed that NUDT1-knockdown could inhibit the proliferation, invasion, migration and promote cell apoptosis of CAL27.Conclusion: The overexpressed NUDT1 is positively associated with the progression of OSCC which has much potential to be new target in targeted therapy of OSCC.

Online literatures are increasing in a tremendous rate. Biological domain is one of the fast growing domains. Biological researchers face a problem finding what they are searching for effectively and efficiently. The aim of this research is to find documents that contain any combination of biological process and/or molecular function and/or cellular component. This research proposes a framework that helps researchers to retrieve meaningful documents related to their asserted terms based on gene ontology (GO). The system utilizes GO by semantically decomposing it into three subontologies (cellular component, biological process, and molecular function). Researcher has the flexibility to choose searching terms from any combination of the three subontologies. Document annotation is taking a place in this research to create an index of biological terms in documents to speed the searching process. Query expansion is used to infer semantically related terms to asserted terms. It increases the search meaningful results using the term synonyms and term relationships. The system uses a ranking method to order the retrieved documents based on the ranking weights. The proposed system achieves researchers’ needs to find documents that fit the asserted terms semantically.
