- The introduction of domestic cattle to the Philippines is often attributed to Spanish and Chinese sources, yet the origins and adaptive history of Philippine Visayan native cattle remain unclear. This study examined the ancestry, structure, and putative selection signals of the Visayan native cattle from Panay and Siquijor islands (VNC) in a global context. Using genome-wide SNP data, population structure was assessed by PCA, IBS/Nei/ trees, and ADMIXTURE; historical relationships were explored with migration, f-statistics, and an admixture graph; and positive selection was scanned using commonly used methods such as ROH, Tajima's , iHS/XP-EHH, and with cross-validation across methods and functional enrichment of the overlapping regions. VNC exhibited low-to-moderate genetic diversity (Ho and He ≈ 0.21; and FIS = 0.01 to 0.02) with Siquijor enriched for long ROH segments indicating recent inbreeding. Across multiple complementary analyses, VNC showed predominantly indicine ancestry and occupied an intermediate bridge-like position between indicine from mainland Southeast Asia and from Southeastern China, with additional components that were most similar to Iberian taurine cattle and South Asian indicine. Moreover, the current study identified putative selection signatures that would possibly provide insights to better understand the local adaptation of VNC under insular tropical conditions of the Philippines: (1) small stature ( cluster, , , , ), (2) heat tolerance and immune robustness (, , , , , ); (3) early reproductive and maturity reproductive performance (, , , ). Overall, the VNC in Panay and Siquijor showed a predominantly indicine ancestry with putatively island-adapted physiology, emphasizing the need for conservation and island-specific breeding that preserves local adaptation while managing inbreeding. - Source: PubMed

Dominguez Jorge Michael DYebron Medino Gedeun NBanayo Joy BChen NingboSalces Agapita JKim Kwan Suk - The biological functions and disease relevance of the 'dark genome'-over one-third of all protein-coding genes-remain largely unknown. Here, we use integrative network and functional analyses to construct a systems-level map of dark gene contributions to human genetic diseases. We identify 16 hub dark genes, including R3HDM2 and RPUSD4, that are central to disease networks and are overwhelmingly enriched for roles in mitochondrial protein synthesis. These hubs form modular networks connecting major inflammatory conditions like psoriasis and tuberculosis, driven by specific transcription factors. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the expression of these hubs is controlled in a tissue-specific manner by thousands of genetic variants (eQTLs), providing direct mechanistic links to phenotypes such as myocardial infarction and diabetes. Our results provide a functional landscape for the dark genome, revealing its critical role in mitochondrial pathways and presenting a rich resource of novel therapeutic targets. - Source: PubMed

Kafita DorisDzobo KevinNkhoma PanjiSinkala Musalula - Middle ear neuroendocrine tumor (MeNET) is a distinctive, uncommon neoplasm of the ear. Previously regarded as "middle ear adenoma" among other names, it was found to be consistently positive for neuroendocrine markers, with differentiation analogous to normal intestinal L cells, and has therefore been classified similarly to other neuroendocrine tumors throughout the body. Nevertheless, MeNETs have an unusual two-cell population and therefore may be unique among NETs. We sought to characterize a group of MeNETs by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Six MeNETs from the authors' archives were retrieved, with histologic and immunohistochemical results tabulated. Targeted DNA and RNA NGS were attempted on all cases. Clinical follow-up was obtained. The MeNETs arose in the middle ears of five men and one woman, ranging from 31 to 57 years (median, 47.5 years). Four cases were grade 1 and two cases grade 2 (one based on necrosis and one based on an elevated Ki67 index). DNA NGS was successful in five of six cases, with probable pathogenic variants including: ATRX mutations in two cases, chromosome 22 deletion, and DNMT3A, STAG2, RB1, HRAS, NF1, and SF3B1 mutations in one case each. In general, the variants were found at low allele frequencies. RNA NGS was successful in all cases, with one case harboring a fusion of unknown significance (R3HDM2::EP400). Follow up available in all cases, with five patients without disease (mean, 74 months; median, 17 months), with one patient (one of the grade 2 tumors) experiencing widespread distant metastases and dying 96 months after diagnosis. Despite the consistent appearance of MeNET, they are heterogeneous at the molecular level, with low mutational burdens but lacking consistent, recurrent alterations. This is similar to well-differentiated NETs of other organs, in particular the small intestine and lung. Overall, our findings support the grouped classification of MeNET within the larger NET scheme. - Source: PubMed

Bishop Justin AXu JingThompson Lester D R - Many transcripts are targeted by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), leading to their degradation and the inhibition of their translation. We found that the protein SUZ domain-containing protein 1 (SZRD1) interacts with the key NMD factor up-frameshift 1. When recruited to NMD-sensitive reporter gene transcripts, SZRD1 increased protein production, at least in part, by relieving translational inhibition. The conserved SUZ domain in SZRD1 was required for this effect. The SUZ domain is present in only three other human proteins besides SZRD1: R3H domain-containing protein 1 and 2 (R3HDM1, R3HDM2) and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein 21 (ARPP21). We found that ARPP21, similarly to SZRD1, can increase protein production from NMD-sensitive reporter transcripts in an SUZ domain-dependent manner. This indicated that the SUZ domain-containing proteins could prevent translational inhibition of transcripts targeted by NMD. Consistent with the idea that SZRD1 mainly prevents translational inhibition, we did not observe a systematic decrease in the abundance of NMD targets when we knocked down SZRD1. Surprisingly, knockdown of SZRD1 in two different cell lines led to reduced levels of the NMD component UPF3B, which was accompanied by increased levels in a subset of NMD targets. This suggests that SZRD1 is required to maintain normal UPF3B levels and indicates that the effect of SZRD1 on NMD targets is not limited to a relief from translational inhibition. Overall, our study reveals that human SUZ domain-containing proteins play a complex role in regulating protein output from transcripts targeted by NMD. - Source: PubMed

Halbout MathiasBury MarinaHanet AoifeGerin IsabelleGraff JulieKillian TheodoreGatto LaurentVertommen DidierBommer Guido T - Glycyrrhiza, a genus of perennial medicinal herbs, has been traditionally used to treat human diseases, including respiratory disorders. Functional analysis of genes involved in the synthesis, accumulation, and degradation of bioactive compounds in these medicinal plants requires accurate measurement of their expression profiles. Reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is a primary tool, which requires stably expressed reference genes to serve as the internal references to normalize the target gene expression. In this study, the stability of 14 candidate reference genes from the two congeneric species G. uralensis and G. inflata, including ACT, CAC, CYP, DNAJ, DREB, EF1, RAN, TIF1, TUB, UBC2, ABCC2, COPS3, CS, R3HDM2, were evaluated across different tissues and throughout various developmental stages. More importantly, we investigated the impact of interactions between tissue and developmental stage on the performance of candidate reference genes. Four algorithms, including geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and Delta Ct, were used to analyze the expression stability and RefFinder, a comprehensive software, provided the final recommendation. Based on previous research and our preliminary data, we hypothesized that internal references for spatio-temporal gene expression are different from the reference genes suited for individual factors. In G. uralensis, the top three most stable reference genes across different tissues were R3HDM2, CAC and TUB, while CAC, CYP and ABCC2 were most suited for different developmental stages. CAC is the only candidate recommended for both biotic factors, which is reflected in the stability ranking for the spatio (tissue)-temporal (developmental stage) interactions (CAC, R3HDM2 and DNAJ). Similarly, in G. inflata, COPS3, R3HDM2 and DREB were selected for tissues, while RAN, COPS3 and CS were recommended for developmental stages. For the tissue-developmental stage interactions, COPS3, DREB and ABCC2 were the most suited reference genes. In both species, only one of the top three candidates was shared between the individual factors and their interactions, specifically, CAC in G. uralensis and COPS3 in G. inflata, which supports our overarching hypothesis. In summary, spatio-temporal selection of reference genes not only lays the foundation for functional genomics research in Glycyrrhiza, but also facilitates these traditional medicinal herbs to reach/maximize their pharmaceutical potential. - Source: PubMed
