Abstract
Despite numerous studies having reported the effects and mechanisms of antihypertensive peptides including peptides derived from egg white proteins, the role of peptides in a female hypertensive animal model is unknown. On the other hand, the role of epigenetic modulation by peptide treatment has rarely been investigated. This study sought to investigate the effect of egg white protein hydrolysate (EWH) in female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) as well as to explore the underlying mechanisms from the perspectives of the transcriptome and the profiles of non-coding RNAs. Young (12-14-week-old) female SHRs were orally administered 250 mg per kg body weight (low-dose) or 1000 mg per kg body weight (high-dose) EWH daily for 10 weeks. The blood pressure of the rats was monitored weekly. The mRNA and non-coding RNAs (miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA) in the aorta were profiled by the high-throughput RNA-seq technique. Differentially expressed (DE) RNAs in the aorta were identified for the construction of the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks and key molecules were validated by qRT-PCR. The treatment of the high-dose EWH showed a significant effect on reducing blood pressure in female SHRs. Bioinformatic analyses revealed 813, 90, 347 and 869 DE-mRNAs, DE-miRNAs, DE-lncRNAs and DE-circRNAs, respectively. The CNTN5-LncRNA-XR_001835895.1-miR-384-5p was identified as the central network which was validated in the aorta and circulation of female SHRs. The results from this study demonstrated that the treatment with EWH reduced blood pressure via regulating the ceRNA networks in female SHRs, which provided novel insights into the mechanisms of food protein-derived antihypertensive peptides.

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Novel Candidate Variants Associated with Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4729. [PMID: 37835423 PMCID: PMC10571790 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15194729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Considerable individual differences are widely observed in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify potential candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that contribute to PONV by utilizing whole-genome genotyping arrays with more than 950,000 markers. The subjects were 806 patients who provided written informed consent and underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia with propofol or desflurane. The GWAS showed that two SNPs, rs2776262 and rs140703637, in the LOC100506403 and CNTN5 gene regions, respectively, were significantly associated with the frequency of nausea. In another GWAS conducted only on patients who received propofol, rs7212072 and rs12444143 SNPs in the SHISA6 and RBFOX1 gene regions, respectively, were significantly associated with the frequency of nausea as well as the rs2776262 SNP, and the rs45574836 and rs1752136 SNPs in the ATP8B3 and LOC105370198 gene regions, respectively, were significantly associated with vomiting. Among these SNPs, clinical and SNP data were available for the rs45574836 SNP in independent subjects who underwent laparoscopic gynecological surgery, and the association was replicated in these subjects. These results indicate that these SNPs could serve as markers that predict the vulnerability to PONV. Our findings may provide valuable information for achieving satisfactory prophylactic treatment for PONV.

[PMID: 36861676 DOI: 10.1002/arch.22007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the promising methods actively used not only in medicine, but in biology as well; it allows for scanning of an object within the span of a few minutes, representing a unique noninvasive and nondestructive research tool. The possibility of using magnetic resonance imaging for the quantitative analysis of fat reserves in Drosophila melanogaster females has been shown. The data obtained demonstrate that quantitative magnetic resonance imaging gives an accurate quantitative assessment of fat stores and allows to effectively evaluate their changes under chronic stress.

Plasma protein expression profiles, cardiovascular disease, and religious struggles among South Asians in the MASALA study. Sci Rep 2021; 11:961.

Abstract
Blood protein concentrations are clinically useful, predictive biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite a higher burden of CVD among U.S. South Asians, no CVD-related proteomics study has been conducted in this sub-population. The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between plasma protein levels and CVD incidence, and to assess the potential influence of religiosity/spirituality (R/S) on significant protein-CVD associations, in South Asians from the MASALA Study. We used a nested case–control design of 50 participants with incident CVD and 50 sex- and age-matched controls. Plasma samples were analyzed by SOMAscan for expression of 1305 proteins. Multivariable logistic regression models and model selection using Akaike Information Criteria were performed on the proteins and clinical covariates, with further effect modification analyses conducted to assess the influence of R/S measures on significant associations between proteins and incident CVD events. We identified 36 proteins that were significantly expressed differentially among CVD cases compared to matched controls. These proteins are involved in immune cell recruitment, atherosclerosis, endothelial cell differentiation, and vascularization. A final multivariable model found three proteins (Contactin-5 [CNTN5], Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-a [FCGR2A], and Complement factor B [CFB]) associated with incident CVD after adjustment for diabetes (AUC = 0.82). Religious struggles that exacerbate the adverse impact of stressful life events, significantly modified the effect of Contactin-5 and Complement factor B on risk of CVD. Our research is this first assessment of the relationship between protein concentrations and risk of CVD in a South Asian sample. Further research is needed to understand patterns of proteomic profiles across diverse ethnic communities, and the influence of resources for resiliency on proteomic signatures and ultimately, risk of CVD.

Exploring the Role of Contactins across Psychological, Psychiatric and Cardiometabolic Traits within UK Biobank. Genes (Basel) 2020; 11:E1326.

Abstract
Individuals with severe mental illness have an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases compared to the general population. Shared risk factors and medication effects explain part of this excess risk; however, there is growing evidence to suggest that shared biology (including genetic variation) is likely to contribute to comorbidity between mental and physical illness. Contactins are a family of genes involved in development of the nervous system and implicated, though genome-wide association studies, in a wide range of psychological, psychiatric and cardiometabolic conditions. Contactins are plausible candidates for shared pathology between mental and physical health. We used data from UK Biobank to systematically assess how genetic variation in contactin genes was associated with a wide range of psychological, psychiatric and cardiometabolic conditions. We also investigated whether associations for cardiometabolic and psychological traits represented the same or distinct signals and how the genetic variation might influence the measured traits. We identified: A novel genetic association between variation in CNTN1 and current smoking; two independent signals in CNTN4 for BMI; and demonstrated that associations between CNTN5 and neuroticism were distinct from those between CNTN5 and blood pressure/HbA1c. There was no evidence that the contactin genes contributed to shared aetiology between physical and mental illness.

Abstract
The genotype-phenotype relationship and the physiopathology of Down Syndrome (DS) have been explored in the last 20 years with more and more relevant mouse models. From the early age of transgenesis to the new CRISPR/CAS9-derived chromosomal engineering and the transchromosomic technologies, mouse models have been key to identify homologous genes or entire regions homologous to the human chromosome 21 that are necessary or sufficient to induce DS features, to investigate the complexity of the genetic interactions that are involved in DS and to explore therapeutic strategies. In this review we report the new developments made, how genomic data and new genetic tools have deeply changed our way of making models, extended our panel of animal models, and increased our understanding of the neurobiology of the disease. But even if we have made an incredible progress which promises to make DS a curable condition, we are facing new research challenges to nurture our knowledge of DS pathophysiology as a neurodevelopmental disorder with many comorbidities during ageing.
