Bai HaiXu WanqingWei GuozhengCao YueWang Mingming - Carcass traits, which reflect growth performance and muscle development, are economically important in beef cattle, yet their genetic determinants remain poorly characterized. Both single-population Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) methods, such as BLINK, and cross-population meta-analysis approaches are widely used to identify genetic variants, yet their comparative performance in genomic prediction for complex traits in structured populations remains underexplored. Few studies have directly compared these methods in genomic prediction. To address this gap, this study aims to (i) identify positional candidate genes associated with carcass traits and (ii) evaluate the context-dependent advantages of Covariate Adjustment (CA) and meta in genomic prediction. In this study, we analyzed carcass weight (CW), live weight (LW), and dressing percentage (DP) in 279 crossbred Angus cattle genotyped with the PHR0105_Bt140K_v1.0 SNP chip. GWAS was performed on the full population using BLINK, and results from three subpopulations were combined via meta-analysis, with significance thresholds for both approaches determined by a shuffle-based method. Candidate genes located within ±10 kb of significant SNPs were associated with different carcass traits, including , , and for DP; and for CW; and , , and for LW. Prediction accuracy under MAS and MABLUP showed meta slightly outperformed BLINK in MAS, while BLINK was better with covariate adjustment; after incorporating kinship in MABLUP, meta achieved higher accuracy and population partitioning was negligible. Overall, MABLUP yielded the highest accuracy (0.52-0.79) versus MAS (0.37-0.54) in all traits. These findings provide a methodological basis for selecting appropriate GWAS strategies in structured populations and highlight candidate genes. - Source: PubMed

Qi YajieLi KunLi PinchengYan JianyuFeng ShuyueWan DanDu KeLiang XiaoYang FanZhou ErzhengHuang NaWang QianLiu Nanbin - Mutations in ribosome biogenesis-related genes or functional defects in ribosomal proteins can lead to a class of autosomal genetic disorders characterized by tissue-specific defects, termed ribosomopathies. NOC4L, a critical factor in ribosome biogenesis, participates in the maturation of the 40S small ribosomal subunit. However, its functions in neural and cartilage development remain incompletely understood. In this study, through generation and phenotypic characterization of a zebrafish noc4l knockout model, we identified severe developmental abnormalities including microcephaly, micrognathia, and embryonic lethality. Further analyses revealed that noc4l loss-of-function results in reduced proliferation, differentiation blockade, and apoptotic activation. Mechanistically, sucrose gradient analysis demonstrated the disrupted ribosome biogenesis in noc4l mutants, with significantly reduced 40S/80S subunits and polysome levels, ultimately leading to overall translational inhibition and concurrent suppression of metabolic pathways. Pharmacological PPARγ activation via rosiglitazone partially rescued craniofacial malformations, ameliorated neurodevelopmental defects, and prolonged mutant life span. Although inhibition of the p53 pathway can partially rescue the phenotype, the p53 pathway and metabolic pathways are likely independent contributing factors. Our study reveals the molecular basis of developmental defects in noc4l mutants through impaired ribosome assembly and demonstrates the therapeutic potential of metabolic interventions for ribosomopathies. - Source: PubMed
Song TujingLiu YanZhou YunxiangLi XiaoyuZhang LiangNing GuozhuZhang Jingjing - Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slow brain degeneration disorder in which the accumulation of beta-amyloid precursor plaque and an intracellular neurofibrillary tangle of hyper-phosphorylated tau proteins in the brain have been implicated in neurodegeneration. In this study, we identified the most important genes that are unique and sensitive in the entorhinal region of the brain to target AD effectively. At first, microarrays data are selected and constructed protein-protein interaction network (PPIN) and gene regulatory network (GRN) from differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using Cytoscape software. Then, networks analysis was performed to determine hubs, bottlenecks, clusters, and signaling pathways in AD. Finally, critical genes were selected as targets for repurposing drugs. Analyzing the constructed PPIN and GRN identified CD44, ELF1, HSP90AB1, NOC4L, BYSL, RRP7A, SLC17A6, and RUVBL2 as critical genes that are dysregulated in the entorhinal region of AD suffering patients. The functional enrichment analysis revealed that DEG nodes are involved in the synaptic vesicle cycle, glutamatergic synapse, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, retrograde endocannabinoid signaling, endocrine and other factor-regulated calcium reabsorption, ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes, and nicotine addiction. Gentamicin, isoproterenol, and tumor necrosis factor are repurposing new drugs that target CD44, which plays an important role in the development of AD. Following our model validation using the existing experimental data, our model based on previous experimental reports suggested critical molecules and candidate drugs involved in AD for further investigations in vitro and in vivo. - Source: PubMed
