Transcriptome-wide association study reveals novel susceptibility genes for coronary atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundGenetic risk factors substantially contributed to the development of coronary atherosclerosis. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified many risk loci for coronary atherosclerosis, but the translation of these loci into therapeutic targets is limited for their location in non-coding regions.

LINC01116, a hypoxia‐lncRNA marker of pathological lymphangiogenesis and poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The LINC01116 long noncoding RNA is induced by hypoxia and associated with poor prognosis and high recurrence rates in two cohorts of lung adenocarcinoma patients. Here, we demonstrate that besides its expression in cancer cells, LINC01116 is markedly expressed in lymphatic endothelial cells of the tumor stroma in which it participates in hypoxia ...

Integrating transcription factor occupancy with transcriptome-wide association analysis identifies susceptibility genes in human cancers

Nature Communications, 2022
Transcriptome-wide association studies can uncover genes involved in disease. Here, the authors extend the framework with a transcriptome-wide association study approach which incorporates transcription factor occupancy, adding tissue-specific ...

Transcriptome-wide association studies associated with Crohn’s disease: challenges and perspectives

Cell & Bioscience
AbstractCrohn’s disease (CD) is regarded as a lifelong progressive disease affecting all segments of the intestinal tract and multiple organs. Based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and gene expression data, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) can help identify susceptibility genes associated with pathogenesis and disease behavior ...

ATF4‐mediated stress response as a therapeutic vulnerability in chordoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We screened 5 chordoma cell lines against 100+ inhibitors of epigenetic and metabolic pathways and kinases and identified halofuginone, a tRNA synthetase inhibitor. Mechanistically halofuginone induces an integrated stress response, with eIF2alpha phosphorylation, activation of ATF4 and its target genes CHOP, ASNS, INHBE leading to cell death ...

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

The Multi-Omics Architecture of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Cells, 2020
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is highly heterogeneous in terms of etiology and clinical presentation with ambiguity in JIA classification. The advance of high-throughput omics technologies in recent years has gained us significant knowledge about ...

Targeted modulation of IGFL2‐AS1 reveals its translational potential in cervical adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cervical adenocarcinoma patients face worse outcomes than squamous cell carcinoma counterparts despite similar treatment. The identification of IGFL2‐AS1's differential expression provides a molecular basis for distinguishing these histotypes, paving the way for personalized therapies and improved survival in vulnerable populations globally.

Integrating brain proteomes and genetics to identify novel risk genes in chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain

Scientific Reports
Chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain (CWP), a core symptom of fibromyalgia, is a complex condition with an unclear pathogenesis. Despite findings from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), translating genetic risk variants into therapeutic targets ...

Multi-tissue polygenic models for transcriptome-wide association studies [PDF]

, 2017
I.ABSTRACTTranscriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have proven to be a powerful tool to identify genes associated with human diseases by aggregating cis-regulatory effects on gene expression. However, TWAS relies on building predictive models of gene expression, which are sensitive to the sample size and tissue on which they are trained.
