- BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) identified as a major risk factor. However, the molecular overlap between LUAD and COPD remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify shared hub genes and to evaluate their functional significance in LUAD. METHODS: Differential gene expression analysis was conducted using two LUAD (GSE19188, GSE18842, and GSE31210) and two COPD (GSE76925, GSE57148, and GSE137557) datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Common hub genes were identified by Venn diagram intersection of the top 3,000 DEGs per dataset. Validation was performed via RT-qPCR in LUAD (A549 and H1299) and COPD cell models. Additional transcriptomic and proteomic validations were done using GSCA, OncoDB, and HPA databases. miRNA–mRNA interactions were predicted using TargetScan and validated by TaqMan RT-qPCR. Functional assays, including CCK-8, colony formation, and wound healing, were performed after overexpression of SYNE1 and SULT1A1 in LUAD cell lines. RESULTS: Four common hub genes, including SYNE1, SULT1A1, FAM76A, and COL10A1 were identified in both LUAD and COPD. SYNE1, SULT1A1, and FAM76A were significantly downregulated, while COL10A1 was upregulated. miRNAs targeting these genes (miR-22-3p, miR-17-3p, miR-455-3p.2, and miR-1297) were significantly upregulated in LUAD and COPD models. Immune correlation analysis revealed associations between hub gene expression and immune subtypes, immune checkpoint regulators, and drug resistance. Functional assays demonstrated that overexpression of SYNE1 and SULT1A1 suppressed proliferation, colony formation, and migration in LUAD cells. Immune correlation analysis revealed associations between hub gene expression and immune subtypes, immune checkpoint regulators, and drug resistance. CONCLUSION: This study identifies shared molecular signatures between LUAD and COPD. - Source: PubMed

Zhu DanZhu Jun - Xia-Gibbs syndrome (XGS; MIM# 615829) is a rare mendelian disorder characterized by Development Delay (DD), intellectual disability (ID), and hypotonia. Individuals with XGS typically harbor de novo protein-truncating mutations in the AT-Hook DNA binding motif containing 1 (AHDC1) gene, although some missense mutations can also cause XGS. Large de novo heterozygous deletions that encompass the AHDC1 gene have also been ascribed as diagnostic for the disorder, without substantial evidence to support their pathogenicity. We analyzed 19 individuals with large contiguous deletions involving AHDC1, along with other genes. One individual bore the smallest known contiguous AHDC1 deletion (∼350 Kb), encompassing eight other genes within chr1p36.11 (Feline Gardner-Rasheed, IFI6, FAM76A, STX12, PPP1R8, THEMIS2, RPA2, SMPDL3B) and terminating within the first intron of AHDC1. The breakpoint junctions and phase of the deletion were identified using both short and long read sequencing (Oxford Nanopore). Quantification of RNA expression patterns in whole blood revealed that AHDC1 exhibited a mono-allelic expression pattern with no deficiency in overall AHDC1 expression levels, in contrast to the other deleted genes, which exhibited a 50% reduction in mRNA expression. These results suggest that AHDC1 expression in this individual is compensated by a novel regulatory mechanism and advances understanding of mutational and regulatory mechanisms in neurodevelopmental disorders. - Source: PubMed
