胶质母细胞瘤(glioblastoma, GBM)是恶性程度最高的颅内恶性肿瘤,目前临床上缺乏有效治疗药物,复发率高且预后差,开发新的抗GBM药物是目前临床上亟待解决的问题。为了筛选与GBM预后密切相关的基因,为寻找新的药物靶点提供线索,采用GEO2R工具从GEO数据库中的269个肿瘤组织和61个正常组织中初步筛选出差异表达基因,然后利用Cluster Profiler数据库进行基因功能富集分析,STRING及Cytoscape进一步筛选出37个差异表达基因,采用GEPIA交互分析对这37个基因在GBM肿瘤组织中的表达进行验证。为了进一步探索这些差异表达基因与患者预后的关系,研究中利用GEPIA工具对TCGA数据库中与患者预后相关的数据进行深入挖掘,最终发现PTTG1、RRM2、E2F7与患者中位生存期呈显著性负相关。研究筛选出的与患者预后密切相关的基因不仅可以为评估患者预后提供参考,同时也为开发新的抗GBM药物提供了潜在的靶点。 相似文献

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain R551-3 is a multiple-antibiotic-resistant opportunistic human pathogen involved in nosocomial infections. It has a widely distributed GC-rich (>66%) genome. Analysis of differential expression of the genes of this genome reveals that majority of genes belonging to highly expressed category are mostly present on lagging strand without showing any strand specific codon usage bias. Relatively small number of lowly expressed genes is equally distributed on both leading and lagging strands with a difference in codon usage pattern between them. Among several multi drug resistance genes of S. maltophilia involving lowly expressed category some are predicted as horizontally transferred. It can be inferred that horizontally transferred genes may have been imported into this genome for their pathogenic mode of living. Our study may help to modify the expression level of the target genes of this human pathogen in order to control its infection. 相似文献

Development of a chordate anterior-posterior axis without classical retinoic acid signaling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Developmental signaling by retinoic acid (RA) is thought to be an innovation essential for the origin of the chordate body plan. The larvacean urochordate Oikopleura dioica maintains a chordate body plan throughout life, and yet its genome appears to lack genes for RA synthesis, degradation, and reception. This suggests the hypothesis that the RA-machinery was lost during larvacean evolution, and predicts that Oikopleura development has become independent of RA-signaling. This prediction raises the problem that the anterior-posterior organization of a chordate body plan can be developed without the classical morphogenetic role of RA. To address this problem, we performed pharmacological treatments and analyses of developmental molecular markers to investigate whether RA acts in anterior-posterior axial patterning in Oikopleura embryos. Results revealed that RA does not cause homeotic posteriorization in Oikopleura as it does in vertebrates and cephalochordates, and showed that a chordate can develop the phylotypic body plan in the absence of the classical morphogenetic role of RA. A comparison of Oikopleura and ascidian evidence suggests that the lack of RA-induced homeotic posteriorization is a shared derived feature of urochordates. We discuss possible relationships of altered roles of RA in urochordate development to genomic events, such as rupture of the Hox-cluster, in the context of a new understanding of chordate phylogeny. 相似文献

Ascidians have served as an appropriate experimental system in developmental biology for more than a century. The fertilized egg develops quickly into a tadpole larva, which consists of a small number of organs including epidermis, central nervous system with two sensory organs, endoderm and mesenchyme in the trunk, and notochord and muscle in the tail. This configuration of the ascidian tadpole is thought to represent the most simplified and primitive chordate body plan. Their embryogenesis is simple, and lineage of embryonic cells is well documented. The ascidian genome contains a basic set of genes with less redundancy compared to the vertebrate genome. Cloning and characterization of developmental genes indicate that each gene is expressed under discrete spatio-temporal pattern within their lineage. In addition, the use of various molecular techniques in the ascidian embryo system highlights its advantages as a future experimental system to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the expression and function of developmental genes as well as genetic circuitry responsible for the establishment of the basic chordate body plan. This review is aimed to highlight the recent advances in ascidian embryology. 相似文献

SUMMARY Contrasting hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pervasive parallels in the patterning of arthropod and vertebrate appendages. These hypotheses either call for a common ancestor already provided with patterned appendages or body outgrowths, or for the recruitment in limb patterning of single genes or genetic cassettes originally used for purposes other than axis patterning. I suggest instead that body appendages such as arthropod and vertebrate limbs and chordate tails are evolutionarily divergent duplicates (paramorphs) of the main body axis, that is, its duplicates, albeit devoid of endodermal component. Thus, vertebrate limbs and arthropod limbs are not historical homologs, but homoplastic features only transitively related to real historical homologs. Thus, the main body axis and the axis of the appendages have distinct but not independent evolutionary histories and may be involved in processes of homeotic co-option producing effects of morphological assimilation. For instance, chordate segmentation may have originated in the posterior appendage (tail) and subsequently extended to the trunk. 相似文献

Brachyury-downstream notochord genes and convergent extension in Ciona intestinalis embryos 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hotta K Yamada S Ueno N Satoh N Takahashi H 《Development, growth & differentiation》2007,49(5):373-382
Formation of the chordate body is accomplished by a complex set of morphogenetic movements including convergent extension of notochord cells. In the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, Brachyury plays a key role in the formation of the notochord, and more than 30 Bra-downstream notochord genes have been identified. In the present study, we examined the effects of functional suppression of nine Bra-downstream notochord genes, which include Ci-PTP, Ci-ACL, Ci-prickle, Ci-netrin, Ci-trop, Ci-Noto3, Ci-ASAK, Ci-ERM and Ci-pellino. When the function of the first two genes (Ci-PTP and Ci-ACL) was suppressed with specific morpholinos, the notochord cells failed to converge, while functional suppression of Ci-prickle resulted in a failure of intercalation, and therefore the cells in these three types of embryo remained in the mid-dorsal region of the embryo. Functional suppression of the next four genes (Ci-netrin, Ci-trop, Ci-Noto3 and Ci-ASAK) resulted in the partial defect of intercalation, and the notochord did not consist of a single row. In addition, when the function of the last two genes (Ci-ERM and Ci-pellino) was suppressed, notochord cells failed to elongate in the embryo, even though convergence/extension took place normally. These results indicate that many Bra-downstream notochord genes are involved in convergence/extension of the embryo. 相似文献

The endophytic fungus Nodulisporium
sylviforme produces taxol, a diterpene alkaloid compound that has unique anti-neoplastic activity. In this study, suppression subtractive
hybridization was performed to identify genes in N. sylviforme that were involved in the up-regulation of taxol production. A total of 91 clones represented the differentially expressed
genes were selected based on reverse blotting results. These clones were then sequenced and analyzed using BLAST-X comparisons
that revealed that about 37.8% of the ESTs were homologous to 17 different proteins with known function, 20.7% were homologous
to nine hypothetical proteins and the remaining 41.5% had no identifiable homology; these may be novel genes. Two enzymatic
genes involved in taxol production were found. The data presented in this study provide the first primary overview of a set
of genes that are differentially expressed in N. sylviforme during taxol biosynthesis and form a solid foundation for the construction of high taxol-yielding genetically engineered
strains. 相似文献

Tumor immune cell infiltration was significantly correlated with the progression and the effect of immunotherapy in cancers including esophageal carcinoma (ESCA). However, no biomarkers were identified which were associated with immune infiltration in ESCA. In the present study, a total of 128 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinomas (EAC). The results of gene ontology (GO) enrichment and Reactome pathway analysis displayed that the up-regulated DEGs were mainly involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), while the down-regulated DEGs were mainly involved in the regulation of cornification and keratinocyte differentiation. The most significant module of up-regulated DEGs was selected by Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE). Top ten similar genes of COL1A2 were explored, then validation and the prognostic analysis of these genes displayed that COL1A2, COL1A1, COL3A1, ZNF469 and Periostin (POSTN) had the prognostic value which were up-regulated in ESCA. The expressions of COL1A2 and its four similar genes were mainly correlated with infiltrating levels of macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) and showed strong correlations with diverse immune marker sets in ESCA. To summarize, COL1A2 and its four similar genes were identified as the potential biomarkers associated with immune infiltration in ESCA. These genes might be applied to immunotherapy for ESCA. 相似文献

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most frequent histological type of lung cancer, and its incidence has displayed an upward trend in recent years. Nevertheless, little is known regarding effective biomarkers for LUAD.Methods: The robust rank aggregation method was used to mine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) datasets. The Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) database was used to extract hub genes from the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network. The expression of the hub genes was validated using expression profiles from TCGA and Oncomine databases and was verified by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The module and survival analyses of the hub genes were determined using Cytoscape and Kaplan–Meier curves. The function of KIF4A as a hub gene was investigated in LUAD cell lines.Results: The PPI analysis identified seven DEGs including BIRC5, DLGAP5, CENPF, KIF4A, TOP2A, AURKA, and CCNA2, which were significantly upregulated in Oncomine and TCGA LUAD datasets, and were verified by qRT-PCR in our clinical samples. We determined the overall and disease-free survival analysis of the seven hub genes using GEPIA. We further found that CENPF, DLGAP5, and KIF4A expressions were positively correlated with clinical stage. In LUAD cell lines, proliferation and migration were inhibited and apoptosis was promoted by knocking down KIF4A expression.Conclusion: We have identified new DEGs and functional pathways involved in LUAD. KIF4A, as a hub gene, promoted the progression of LUAD and might represent a potential therapeutic target for molecular cancer therapy. 相似文献
