Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Blood pressure is a heritable trait influenced by several biological pathways and responsive to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (≥140 mm Hg systolic blood pressure or  ≥90 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure).

Genome‐wide pathogenesis interpretation using a heat diffusion‐based systems genetics method and implications for gene function annotation

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2020., 2020
It is still a great challenge to use GWAS/PheWAS‐derived data to elucidate pathogenesis. In this study, we used HotNet2, a heat diffusion‐based systems genetics algorithm, to calculate the networks for disease genes obtained from GWAS and PheWAS, with an attempt to get deeper insights into disease pathogenesis at a molecular level.

Gene Expression, Network Analysis, and Drug Discovery of Neurofibromatosis Type 2‐Associated Vestibular Schwannomas Based on Bioinformatics Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Oncology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Neurofibromatosis Type 2‐ (NF2‐) associated vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are histologically benign tumors. This study aimed to determine disease‐related genes, pathways, and potential therapeutic drugs associated with NF2‐VSs using the bioinformatics method.

Soluble guanylyl cyclase α1 subunit is a key mediator of proliferation, survival, and migration in ECC-1 and HeLa cell lines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) is a heterodimeric enzyme constituted by two subunits, α1 and β1. Previously we have shown that 17β-estradiol (E2) exerts opposite effects on these subunits by increasing α1 and decreasing both β1 expression and enzymatic ...

Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Generation of cGMP Regulates Migration of MGE Neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Here we have provided evidence that nitric oxide-cyclic GMP (NO-cGMP) signaling regulates neurite length and migration of immature neurons derived from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE).

Profiling age-related epigenetic markers of stomach adenocarcinoma in young and old subjects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The purpose of our study is to identify epigenetic markers that are differently expressed in the stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) condition. Based on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we were able to detect an age-related difference in methylation ...

Statistical confidence estimation for Hi-C data reveals regulatory chromatin contacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Our current understanding of how DNA is packed in the nucleus is most accurate at the fine scale of individual nucleosomes and at the large scale of chromosome territories.

Gene expression within the extended amygdala of 5 pairs of rat lines selectively bred for high or low ethanol consumption [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The objectives of this study were to determine innate differences in gene expression in 2 regions of the extended amygdala between 5 different pairs of lines of male rats selectively bred for high or low ethanol consumption: a) alcohol-preferring (P) vs.

Orthostatic hypotension and novel blood pressure-associated gene variants: Genetics of Postural Hemodynamics (GPH) Consortium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Aims: Orthostatic hypotension (OH), an independent predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events, strongly correlates with hypertension. Recent genome-wide studies have identified new loci influencing blood pressure (BP) in populations, but their ...
