Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 179:117387. [PMID: 39245002 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 08/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
As the global population ages, the incidence of Parkinson's Disease (PD) continues to rise, imposing significant social and economic burdens. Mangiferin (MGF), a polyphenolic, bioactive compound has been shown to play a role in the prevention and treatment of PD. This study investigates the neuroprotective effects of MGF in an MPTP-induced zebrafish model of PD through transcriptome analysis. Initially, optimal concentrations for modeling were determined using various MPTP and MGF combinations. The zebrafish were then divided into control, MPTP-treated, and MGF co-treated groups. Subsequent evaluations included hatching rates, mortality rates, growth and development conditions, spontaneous motor abilities, as well as measurements of enzymatic activities of SOD, CAT, and levels of GSH. Ultimately, the therapeutic efficacy of MGF on the PD model in zebrafish was assessed through transcriptome sequencing. The results demonstrated that MPTP treatment induced PD-associated symptoms in zebrafish, while MGF treatment significantly improved the motor abilities and survival rates of the PD model zebrafish, effectively reducing oxidative stress and ameliorating PD symptoms. Transcriptome sequencing further revealed that MGF may mitigate mitochondrial-related oxidative stress in PD zebrafish by modulating the expression of critical genes including lrrk2, vps35, atp13a, dnajc6, and uchl1. Differential gene expression analysis indicated that these genes are primarily involved in vital signaling pathways, such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, and the calcium signaling pathway. In summary, our study provides robust scientific evidence supporting MGF as a potential therapeutic candidate for PD by preserving mitochondrial homeostasis and elucidating its mechanisms of action.

Profiling the Genome-Wide Landscape of Short Tandem Repeats by Long-Read Sequencing. Front Genet 2022; 13:810595. [PMID: 35601492 PMCID: PMC9117641 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.810595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Short tandem repeats (STRs) are highly variable elements that play a pivotal role in multiple genetic diseases and the regulation of gene expression. Long-read sequencing (LRS) offers a potential solution to genome-wide STR analysis. However, characterizing STRs in human genomes using LRS on a large population scale has not been reported. Methods: We conducted the large LRS-based STR analysis in 193 unrelated samples of the Chinese population and performed genome-wide profiling of STR variation in the human genome. The repeat dynamic index (RDI) was introduced to evaluate the variability of STR. We sourced the expression data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression to explore the tissue specificity of highly variable STRs related genes across tissues. Enrichment analyses were also conducted to identify potential functional roles of the high variable STRs. Results: This study reports the large-scale analysis of human STR variation by LRS and offers a reference STR database based on the LRS dataset. We found that the disease-associated STRs (dSTRs) and STRs associated with the expression of nearby genes (eSTRs) were highly variable in the general population. Moreover, tissue-specific expression analysis showed that those highly variable STRs related genes presented the highest expression level in brain tissues, and enrichment pathways analysis found those STRs are involved in synaptic function-related pathways. Conclusion: Our study profiled the genome-wide landscape of STR using LRS and highlighted the highly variable STRs in the human genome, which provide a valuable resource for studying the role of STRs in human disease and complex traits.

Gene4HL: An Integrated Genetic Database for Hearing Loss. Front Genet 2021; 12:773009. [PMID: 34733322 PMCID: PMC8558372 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.773009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common disabilities in the world. In industrialized countries, HL occurs in 1–2/1,000 newborns, and approximately 60% of HL is caused by genetic factors. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been widely used to identify many candidate genes and variants in patients with HL, but the data are scattered in multitudinous studies. It is a challenge for scientists, clinicians, and biologists to easily obtain and analyze HL genes and variant data from these studies. Thus, we developed a one-stop database of HL-related genes and variants, Gene4HL (http://www.genemed.tech/gene4hl/), making it easy to catalog, search, browse and analyze the genetic data. Gene4HL integrates the detailed genetic and clinical data of 326 HL-related genes from 1,608 published studies, along with 62 popular genetic data sources to provide comprehensive knowledge of candidate genes and variants associated with HL. Additionally, Gene4HL supports the users to analyze their own genetic engineering network data, performs comprehensive annotation, and prioritizes candidate genes and variations using custom parameters. Thus, Gene4HL can help users explain the function of HL genes and the clinical significance of variants by correlating the genotypes and phenotypes in humans.
