- A key methodological challenge for genome-wide association studies is how to leverage haplotype diversity and allelic heterogeneity to improve trait association power, especially in noncoding regions where it is difficult to predict variant impacts and define functional units for variant aggregation. Genealogy-based association methods have the potential to bridge this gap by testing combinations of common and rare haplotypes based purely on their ancestral relationships. In parallel work, we have developed an efficient local ancestry inference engine and a novel statistical method (LOCATER) for combining signals present on different branches of a locus-specific haplotype tree. Here, we develop a genome-wide LOCATER analysis pipeline and apply it to a genome sequencing study of 6795 Finnish individuals with 101 cardiometabolic traits and 18.9 million autosomal variants. We identify 351 significant trait associations at 47 distinct genomic loci and find that LOCATER boosts the single marker test (SMT) association signal at five loci by combining independent signals from distinct alleles. LOCATER successfully recovers known quantitative trait loci not found by SMT, including , recovers known allelic heterogeneity at the gene cluster, and suggests one novel association. We find that confounders have a more pronounced effect on genealogy-based methods than SMT, and we propose a new randomization approach and a general method for genomic control to eliminate their effects. This study demonstrates that genealogy-based methods such as LOCATER excel when multiple causal variants are present and suggests that their application to larger and more diverse cohorts will be fruitful. - Source: PubMed

They can cause hepatic lipid interventions, but the underlying mechanisms require investigation. This study assessed the retention of polypropylene microplastics in mouse liver and determined the intercorrelations between hepatic lipid fluctuations and transcriptomic changes. Microplastic-induced liver dysfunction was confirmed by the variations of transamination, cholesterol metabolism, biotransformation, and redox state. Chronic high-dose treatment induced distinct pathological changes, including regional fibrotic remodeling and ultrastructural mitochondrial abnormalities. Raman biospectra of liver slice proposed vital peaks of 1060, 1132, 1168, 1340, 1446, 1618, and 1670 cm, representing the liver biomolecule landscapes. Transcriptomic changes were mainly involved in mRNA transcription, multicellular organism development, various stimuli response, cell differentiation, and lipid metabolic process. Microplastic exposure dosage exerted more profound effects than exposure duration on gene expressions of oxidation-reduction process, signal transduction, and lipid metabolism. WGCNA analysis proposed 47 hub genes involved gene expression orchestration, cell fate monitor, and mitochondria translation modulation. Nine differentially expressed genes associated with lipid biomarkers were related to mitochondria transcription ( and ), cell differentiation , and ), lipid catabolism ( and ) and tRNA methyltransferase (), and Raman peak at 1670 cm intimately connected with aggregated forms of protein. Our findings suggested that polypropylene microplastics could change the liver molecular landscape and induce lipid metabolism disorders and transcriptomic changes in mitochondrial protein translation and expression regulation, highlighting their significant consequences in nutrient and energy imbalance. - Source: PubMed

Wang MiaoWang JingSun XinglinZhang KenaGao JingXu XiaoyingWu JiaruiTao FangfangZhang DayiLiu Mingying - RNA-binding proteins play critical roles in RNA processing and are aberrantly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC). Through comprehensive analysis of multiple gene expression datasets (GSE20916, GSE18105, GSE21510, TCGA-COAD and TCGA-READ), NCBP2 was identified as a potential tumorigenic gene in CRC. NCBP2 expression was significantly elevated in CRC tissues, correlated with tumour invasion and metastasis, and associated with poor patient survival outcomes. Furthermore, overexpression of NCBP2 in CRC cells was shown to increase cell proliferation, migration, and tumour invasion in both in vitro and in vivo models. Mechanistically, the NCBP2 protein stabilised LIPG mRNA via direct binding to the m7G motif in the 5'-cap structure of LIPG mRNA, thereby increasing LIPG expression. Additionally, NCBP2 promoted lipid droplet accumulation in CRC cells in a LIPG-dependent manner. These findings collectively suggest that the NCBP2-LIPG-lipid droplet axis represents a novel mechanism underlying CRC progression and metastasis, providing a promising therapeutic target for CRC treatment. - Source: PubMed

Liu LiuLu WeiMiao ShengyuanYu YangZhang Xu-BingYe ShouDongWang XiaoxiaoLiu Lin - Bighead carp () is a key aquaculture species, with the head and its orbital fat being a commercially valuable product. To elucidate the molecular basis of growth variation, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis of orbital fat from extreme growth phenotypes at juvenile (6 months) and market-size (18 months) stages. In juveniles, slow growth was linked to upregulation of stress-responsive genes (, , ), while fast growth correlated with higher expression of stress-buffering () and nutrient-signaling (, ) genes. At 18 months, divergent growth aligned with opposing lipid metabolic states: a pro-anabolic profile (, ) supported fast growth, whereas a catabolic profile (, ) was associated with slow growth. These results demonstrate stage-specific transcriptional reprogramming in orbital fat underlying growth variation. This study provides a molecular framework for orbital fat-mediated growth regulation and highlights potential candidate genes for molecular breeding in bighead carp. - Source: PubMed

Wang JunruLei QiLiu JunTian HaijunYao GaoyouSun ZhiruoGuo XushengTong Jingou - The neural architecture that supports optimal creative performance across diverse contexts remains unclear. To address this question, we conducted a quantitative meta-analysis to identify convergent patterns of brain activation associated with enhanced creativity and to examine their relationships with behavioral improvements. A total of 33 neuroimaging studies involving 965 participants were included, encompassing four enhancement contexts: creativity training, domain-specific expertise, trait-level creativity, and positive stimulus conditioning. Across these contexts, superior creative performance (Hedges' g = 0.668) was consistently characterized by increased activation in the left middle frontal gyrus (LMFG), left superior frontal gyrus (LSFG), and left inferior parietal gyrus (LIPG), together with decreased activation in the right precuneus (95 % CI [0.508, 0.828]). Meta-regression analyses revealed that longer intervention duration and greater professional experience predicted stronger LSFG and LIPG activation, whereas age and sex ratio showed no significant effects. LSFG activation was attenuated during convergent thinking tasks, suggesting task-specific modulation of creative neural circuits. These findings provide systematic evidence for a convergent neural signature of superior creative performance across multiple enhancement pathways, offering empirical targets for future training and neuromodulation-based interventions to optimize creative potential. - Source: PubMed
