利用GeneHub软件分析人类染色体相邻基因的表达相关性

利用我们研制的基因信息融合分析软件GeneHub,按染色体开窗的方法将人类基因组沿着染色体划分为一系列基因群,用不同的相关测度(Pearson相关、Spearman秩相关、欧氏距离)考察这些基因群中所有基因间在二套独立的基因表达谱数据中的平均表达相关性。实验结果表明,与随机基因群相比,染色体上的邻近基因具有显著的表达相关性。约有40％的被检测基因包含于我们检测到的邻近相似表达基因群中。该现象提示真核生物中的基因存在模块化的共表达趋势。     

IgE against food and respiratory allergens in healthy and allergic mothers and their children

IgE against mixtures of common food or respiratory allergens were determined by ELISA in healthy (n = 38) and allergic (n = 62) mothers and their children. Significantly higher level of IgE against respiratory allergens was found in sera of allergic mothers and in cord blood of their children. No correlation between antibody level in maternal and newborn's sera was found; this argues against the transfer of IgE from mother to fetus and points rather to offspring's intrauterine sensitization. Specific IgE level in cord blood was higher in children who developed later allergy than in children who did not. Specific IgE level in colostrum was low both in healthy and allergic mothers; there was no correlation between high concentration of IgE against respiratory allergens in sera of allergic mothers and their colostrum, which does not support the idea of IgE transport from blood to mammary gland. Only slightly increased colostral IgE was detected in allergic mothers whose children manifested allergy later. Allergy of the mother and high level of anti-allergen IgE in her serum and in cord blood are the main predictive factors of future occurrence of allergy in the offspring. A combination of several predictive factors could have higher prognostic value.

Proteomic analysis of changes in protein expression in liver mitochondria in apoE knockout mice

The involvement of both apolipoprotein E (apoE) and mitochondria in lipid metabolism is widely recognized, however there is surprisingly scarce data about the putative mitochondrial action(s) of this protein. The aim of the study was to screen the alterations in liver mitochondrial proteome caused by apoE deficiency. We applied 2DE-LC-MS/MS methodology to investigate the changes in liver mitochondrial protein expression in 6-months old apoE(-/-) mice as compared to C57BL/6J controls. ApoE(-/-), but not C57BL/6J mice developed visible atherosclerotic changes in aorta and mild, diffuse steatosis of the liver. Collectively, 18 differentially expressed proteins were identified in mitochondria, related to apoptosis, antioxidant and detoxifying mechanisms of mitochondria, as well as lipid metabolism and transport. In conclusion, differential proteomic approach revealed several lines of proteomic evidence that mitochondrial function in the liver of apoE(-/-) mice could be altered as a result of overlapping of pathological and compensatory changes in expression of proteins.
