Abstract
Integrative expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) analysis found that rs8180040 was significantly associated with Coiled-coil domain containing 12 (CCDC12) in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) patients. Immunohistochemical staining and western blotting confirmed CCDC12 was highly expressed in COAD tissues, which was consistent with RNA-Seq data from the TCGA database. Knockdown of CCDC12 could significantly reduce proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells, while exogenous overexpression of CCDC12 had the opposite effect. Four plex Isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation assays were performed to determine its function and potential regulatory mechanism and demonstrated that overexpression of CCDC12 would change proteins on the adherens junction pathway. Overexpressed Snail and knocked down CCDC12 subsequently in SW480 cells, and we found that overexpression of Snail did not significantly change CCDC12 levels in SW480 cells, while knockdown of CCDC12 reduced that of Snail. CCDC12 plays a significant role in tumorigenesis, development, and invasion of COAD and may affect the epithelial to mesenchymal transformation process of colon cancer cells by regulating the Snail pathway.

Identification of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and shared with liver and brain. J Cell Biochem 2017; 119:1659-1669.

Abstract
PBMCs are essential for immunity and involved in various diseases. To identify genetic variations contributing to PBMCs transcriptome-wide gene expression, we performed a genome-wide eQTL analysis by using genome-wide SNPs data and transcriptome-wide mRNA expression data. To assess whether there are common regulation patterns shared among different tissues/organs, public datasets were utilized to identify common eQTLs shared with PBMCs in lymphoblastoid, monocytes, liver, and brain. Allelic expression imbalance (AEI) assay was employed to validate representative eQTLs identified. We identified 443 cis- and 2386 trans-eSNPs (FDR <0.05), which regulated 128 and 635 target genes, respectively. A transcriptome-wide expression regulation network was constructed, highlighting the importance of 28 pleiotropic eSNPs and 18 dually (cis- and trans-) regulated genes. Three genes, that is, TIPRL, HSPB8, and EGLN3, were commonly regulated by hundreds of eSNPs and constituted a very complex interaction network. Strikingly, the missense SNP rs371513 trans- regulated 25 target genes, which were functionally related to poly(A) RNA binding. Among 8904 eQTLs (P < 0.001) identified herein in PBMCs, a minority (163) was overlapped with lymphoblastoid, monocytes, liver, and/or brain. Besides, two cis-eSNPs in PBMC were confirmed by AEI. The present results demonstrated a comprehensive expression regulation network for human PBMCs and may provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of immunological diseases related to PBMCs.
