These inverse problems arise in the study of the growing tissues (morphogenes theory), in the development of the tissue engineering technologies and in the other fields of modern mathematical biology. The sensitivity operator, composed of the ensemble of the independent adjoint problem solutions allow to transform the inverse problem to the family of nonlinear ill-posed integral equations. Each member of the family correspond to the image to structure operator that extracts certain features of the image. An equation from the family is solved with the Newton-Kantorovich-type algorithm combining truncated SVD and iterative regularization. Due to the design with the adjoint problems ensemble, the algorithm can be efficiently parallelized. The algorithm’s convergence and stability are illustrated numerically in Brusselator model case.","PeriodicalId":230439,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th International Multiconference Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure\\Systems Biology (BGRS\\SB)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134378105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Testing of interaction demonstrated effects in alpha 2, 3 rhythms power characterized by opposite changes of antero-posterior spectral power gradients in SA and NSA groups of men and women. There was no difference between SA and NSA groups in frontal power density. Among women members of SA group had lower posterior power than those of NSA group.

In the area of Evolutionary Computations, inspired by the ideas and concepts from evolutionary biology, it was paid a special attention to the theoretical foundations for the evolutionary search efficacy. These were Schema theorem and Building block hypothesis (by J. Holland) that laid the foundation for this area. On the way to further develop the theory, the Royal Road functions (RRFs) were introduced and comprehensively studied. Here we are considering some case-studies of the modular gene regulatory regions which could be treated as RRFs implementations in directed molecular evolution (SELEX, etc.). Analytical tools from different math fields gave possibilities for van Nimwegen with co-authors to develop a detailed and quantitative description of the search dynamics for the RRF class of problems. The approach bridges evolutionary computations from benchmark cases, such as RRF, which are well-understood theoretically, to biological cases, which can serve as a basis for more efficient directed molecular evolution in the test tube. By introducing crossover operators that perform well on RRFs, we are developing computational techniques to deal with the real design problems for bacterial promoters. In particular, we are introducing crossover operators that work like retroviral or \"sexual\" PCR recombination. We found that our algorithms are capable to achieve the efficacy of the evolutionary search substantially higher than standard EC. Computational theory from EC can contribute to both understanding how real gene structures have evolved and to speeding up laboratory work on directed evolution of promoters and other gene regulatory elements.","PeriodicalId":230439,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th International Multiconference Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure\\Systems Biology (BGRS\\SB)","volume":"432 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122825113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the large amount of data that appears during the processing of the source information, a transition to non-relational databases has been made, as more flexible and scalable. The distributed non-relational DB MongoDB and the algorithm of data processing Winnowing were used as the basis of the approach. When using a non-relational database to identify genetic similarity, was proposed the option of submitting the prints of structural genomic variations in the form of \"key-value\". The software implementation of the developed model was implemented. Computing experiments were performed: (1) loading data into a database using one and three shards (servers where the data is stored and the information is searched and processed); (2) search for coincidences of genomes with DB of genomes using one and three shards; (3) calculation of the speed of searching for genomes in the database; (4) calculation of the rate of loading of genomes in the database. The result of the experiments was confirmation of the possibility of using the proposed method of searching for genetic similarity, for example, for using in analysis of deviations at the gene level. The continuation of the work can be carried out in the following directions: (1) solving the problem of determining the moment when it is necessary to add a node to the cluster with increasing the number of deviations considered and increasing the number of genomes in the DB of organisms; (2) study of genomic disorders to assess the probability of genetic abnormalities at the at the recognition stage of the potentially possible unfavorable development of the situation.","PeriodicalId":230439,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th International Multiconference Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure\\Systems Biology (BGRS\\SB)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115703254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent data indicate emerging role of autophagy downregulation in diabetic podocytopathy. Inhibitors of SGLT2 and DPP4 are considered as promising therapeutic agents in diabetic nephropathy. We aimed to assess the effects of SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin and DPP4 inhibitor linagliptin on podocyte injury and autophagy in a model of type 2 diabetes. Eight-week-old male db/db mice were treated with empagliflozin (10 mg/kg), linagliptin (10 mg/kg), combination of these agents, or placebo for 8 weeks. Non-diabetic db/+ mice were acted as control. Renal changes were analyzed from the light and electron microscopy. To estimate autophagy, beclin-1 staining in glomeruli and the number of autophagosomes, lysosomes, and autolysosomes in a section of a podocyte were assessed by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy, respectively. Diabetic db/db mice became obese and hyperglycemic before the start of experiment and demonstrated elevated levels of leptin and insulin and increased fat percentage (all p<0.00001). Vehicle-treated diabetic mice had weak staining for beclin-1 in glomeruli and reduced autophagosome number in podocytes. Beclin-1-positive area correlated with the number of autophagosomes and lysosomes (both r=0.43, p=0.04) and mean width of foot processes (r=-0.64, p=0.0008). Under the treatment, glomerular staining for beclin-1 was increased (p=0.03 for empagliflozin, p=0.008 for linagliptin, p=0.003 for combination). Empagliflozin and linagliptin, either alone or both, increased the number of autophagosomes (p=0.04) and autolysosomes (p=0.03) in podocytes.
