In MDCK II cells, a model for cell polarization, depletion of PALS1 - which binds to all CRB components - leads to defective cell polarization and improper distribution of tight junction proteins, resulting in severe epithelial barrier defects in 3D cyst models. This study investigated whether this phenotype is associated with transcriptional changes by analyzing wildtype (WT) and PALS1 knockout (KO) MDCK II cell lines grown under non-confluent conditions and in 3D cyst cultures. Our results indicate that the transition from non-confluent cells to 3D cysts involves numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in both WT and KO cells. Importantly, the analyses revealed significant overlaps between WT and KO cells in their maturation processes, suggesting that most identified DEGs are linked to differentiation from non-confluent to polarized MDCK cells and likely not a result of PALS1 deficiency. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and over-representation analyses using REACTOME and KEGG databases confirmed these similarities. In contrast, the direct comparison of WT and KO cells at the two stages showed fewer DEGs and overlaps in associated biological processes and signaling pathways. DEGs associated with the 3D stage, in which the phenotype manifests, contain DEGs and pathways that were predominantly linked to cell cycle linked processes, centromere assembly, or DNA replication. Furthermore, the transcription of genes encoding key junction proteins, additional polarity proteins, and cell-substrate interaction proteins is less affected by the loss of PALS1, indicating that PALS1 influences the transcriptional profiles in epithelial cells as a modulating factor.</p>","PeriodicalId":72427,"journal":{"name":"BMC genomic data","volume":"25 1","pages":"102"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11607895/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142755641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We identified differential expression levels of PIWIL genes between HCC and control tissues and analyzed their roles within the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network related to regulatory non-coding RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNGS). Our findings showed that Piwil1 and Piwil4 were overexpressed while Piwil2 is underexpressed. As ceRNAs, specific lncRNAs, including Pvt1, Gas5, and BGIGI10090_38749, might sponge up miR-351-5p and miR-31-5p, promoting Piwil1 and Piwil4 expression, while miR-133b-3p, lacking ceRNA sponge absorption, continues to inhibit Piwil2. Through their interactions with PPI proteins encoded by RNGS genes, especially Dhx9, Drosha, Mov10, and Tdrd1, PIWI family members might play a multifaceted role in regulating gene expression and metabolic processes, thereby involving the development and progression of HCC. These interactions within the PPI network could influence the stability and activity of PIWIL proteins and contribute to the overall regulation of gene expression and HCC progression. In the RNGS, a diverse array of miRNAs, genes, lncRNAs, circRNAs, and pseudogenes have been observed, which are suggested to intricately interplay, potentially weaving a complex ceRNA regulatory network. Abnormally expressed miRNA-targeted genes in RNGS are associated with key biological processes, such as lipid metabolism and immune responses, crucial for tumor cell survival, and processes supporting tumor growth and invasion, like translation and cytoskeleton organization. This regulation is reflected in distinct KEGG pathways for downregulated and upregulated targets, highlighting the dualistic role of PIWIL genes in modulating HCC progression. The study concludes that PIWI family members have a correlation with HCC progression and play divergent roles in the pathogenesis, with overexpression of the Piwil1 and Piwil4 potentially promoting HCC progression and underexpression of Piwil2 likely suppressing tumor development. The ceRNA mechanism and PPI network are crucial in regulating the expression and function of PIWIL genes, respectively. The intricate ceRNA network potentially regulates the expression of miRNA-targeted genes in RNGS, which might be crucial for tumor survival and promotion, with impacts on immune responses and cell growth based on enriching results of dysregulated miRNA-targeted genes in HCC. By shedding light on the molecular intricacies of HCC, this multi-omics study underscores the pivotal roles of epigenetic regulations, especially the influence of PIWI family genes with other genes and ncRNAs in the RNGS process in HCC pathology.

The advent of next generation sequencing has proven a significant impact in germline variant detection in the causative genes; however, a large proportion of patients with clinical criteria still receive uncertain or negative results. PMS2 is the least frequent reported gene, associated with up to 15% of LS cases with late-onset disease and low penetrance phenotype; however, the proportion of PMS2-LS cases is considered to be highly underestimated. In this context, our analysis aimed to improve the current diagnostic yield by focusing on missense and intronic PMS2 variants available in public clinical databases (ClinVar, LOVD). We performed an in silico assessment of the wild-type DNA sequence and the reported genetic variants, employing splicing bioinformatics tools known for their effectiveness in other genes. Splicing variants were predicted in silico and using GTEx short-read RNA expression data. Out of the 2384 missense variants discovered, 90% were classified with uncertain significance (VUS). 4.9% of missense variants were shown to have a potential splicing consequence (DS > 0.2) using SpliceAI. As described in the original publication, SpliceAI-visual was proven effective in annotation of short intronic variants (< 50 bp). Four short intronic variants were identified using SpliceAI-visual as potentially splicing disturbing, in spite of using a lower threshold (DS > 0.1). Exons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 14 were consistently predicted in at least three out of eight software with weak canonical splice sites.

Specifically, ESE motifs were consistently more abundant in highly expressed exons 5, 11 and 14, while ESS motifs played a fundamental role in exons 6, 7 and 10.

It has remained unclear how CGGBP1 integrates multiple diverse functions with its simple architecture of only a DNA-binding domain tethered to a C-terminal tail with low structural rigidity. We have used truncated forms of CGGBP1 with or without the DNA-binding domain (DBD) to assay cytosine methylation and global gene expression. Proximal promoters of CGGBP1-repressed genes, although significantly GC-poor, contain GC-rich transcription factor binding motifs and exhibit base compositions indicative of low C-T transition rates due to prevention of cytosine methylation. Genome-wide analyses of cytosine methylation and binding of CGGBP1 DBD show that CGGBP1 restricts cytosine methylation in a manner that depends on its DBD and its DNA-binding. The CGGBP1-repressed genes show an increase in promoter cytosine methylation alongside a decrease in transcript abundance when the DBD-deficient CGGBP1 is expressed. Our findings suggest that CGGBP1 protects transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) from cytosine methylation-associated loss and thereby regulates gene expression. By analysing orthologous promoter sequences we show that restriction of cytosine methylation is a function of CGGBP1 progressively acquired during vertebrate evolution. A superimposition of our results and evolution of CGGBP1 suggests that mitigation of cytosine methylation is majorly achieved by its N-terminal DBD. Our results position CGGBP1 DNA-binding as a major evolutionarily acquired mechanism through which it keeps cytosine methylation under check and regulates TFBS retention and gene activity.</p>","PeriodicalId":72427,"journal":{"name":"BMC genomic data","volume":"25 1","pages":"98"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11575156/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142670087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
