Network propagation methods have emerged and been widely employed in disease gene prediction, but most of them focus on static biological networks, which hinders their applicability and effectiveness in the study of progressive diseases. Moreover, there is currently a lack of special algorithms for the identification of leukemia disease genes. Here, we proposed DyNDG, a novel dynamic network-based model, which integrates differentially expressed genes to identify leukemia-related genes. Initially, we constructed a time-series dynamic network to model the development trajectory of leukemia. Then, we built a background-temporal multilayer network by integrating both the dynamic network and the static background network, which was initialized with differentially expressed genes at each stage. To quantify the associations between genes and leukemia, we extended a random walk process to the background-temporal multilayer network. The experimental results demonstrate that DyNDG achieves superior accuracy compared to several state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, after excluding housekeeping genes, DyNDG yields a set of promising candidate genes associated with leukemia progression or potential biomarkers, indicating the value of dynamic network information in identifying leukemia-related genes.

Previous studies have suggested that AAD subtypes share similar genetic mechanisms, however, these studies investigated the subtypes separately. Here, we performed a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis for AAD by combining its subtypes, including 11,148 cases and 708,468 controls of European ancestry. We identified 24 susceptibility loci, including four novel loci at 1p21.2 (PALMD), 2p22.2 (CRIM1), 6q22.1 (FRK), and 12q14.3 (HMGA2), which were partially validated in both internal and external populations. Cell type-specific analysis highlighted the artery as the most relevant tissue where the susceptibility variants may exert their effects in a tissue-specific manner. By using four approaches, we prioritized 53 genes, reinforcing the importance of elastic fiber formation and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling in the formation of AAD, and suggested potential target drugs for the treatment. Additionally, various cardiovascular diseases were genetically correlated with AAD, and several cardiovascular risk factors [e.g., body mass index (BMI), lipid levels, and pulse pressure] showed causal associations with AAD, underscoring their shared genetic structures and mechanisms underlying the comorbidity. Moreover, five prioritized genes (PALMD, CRIM1, FRK, HMGA2, and NT5DC1) at the novel loci were supported as regulators of smooth muscle and endothelial cell functions through ex vivo and in vitro experiments. Together, these findings enhance our understanding of the genetic architecture of AAD and provide novel insights into future biological mechanism studies and therapeutic strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":94020,"journal":{"name":"Genomics, proteomics & bioinformatics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144039586","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}

Nevertheless, reliable detection of low-VAF CHIP mutations is challenging, often relying on deep targeted sequencing. Here, we present UNISOM, a streamlined workflow for enhancing CHIP detection from whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing data that are underpowered, especially for low VAFs. UNISOM utilizes a meta-caller for variant detection, in couple with machine learning models which classify variants into CHIP, germline, and artifact. In whole-exome data, UNISOM recovered nearly 80% of the CHIP mutations identified via deep targeted sequencing in the same cohort. Applied to whole-genome sequencing data from Mayo Clinic Biobank, it recapitulated the patterns previously established in much larger cohorts, including the most frequently mutated CHIP genes, predominant mutation types and signatures, as well as strong associations of CHIP with age and smoking status. Notably, 30% of the identified CHIP mutations had < 5% VAFs, demonstrating its high sensitivity toward small mutant clones.

This approach identified G9a inhibitors as promising candidates, capable of reversing gene expression signatures associated with Setd2 deficiency and selectively inhibiting SETD2-deficient cells. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that G9a inhibitor significantly downregulated Myc and Myc-regulated genes involved in translation, DNA replication, and G1/S transition in Setd2-mutant cells. Further chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis showed that G9a inhibition reduced H3K9me2 levels at the long non-coding RNA Mir100hg locus, coinciding with specific upregulation of the embedded microRNA let-7a-2 in Setd2-mutant cells. Given the established role of let-7a in MYC suppression, these findings suggest a potential mechanism by which G9a inhibitors induce MYC downregulation in SETD2-mutant leukemia.
