RESUMO

To explore the genetic causes of 3 male infertility patients with acephalospermia and the outcome of assisted reproductive technology. Clinical diagnosis, sperm morphology examination, sperm transmission electron microscopy examination were performed on 3 patients, and the whole exome sequencing technology was used for screening, Sanger sequencing verification, mutation pathogenicity analysis, and protein sequence homology comparison. Assisted reproductive technology was implemented to assist pregnancy treatment. The 3 patients were all sporadic infertile men, aged 25, 42 and 26 years, and there was no obvious abnormality in the general physical examination. Male external genitalia developed normally, bilateral testicles were normal in volume, and bilateral epididymis and spermatic vein were palpated without nodules, cysts, and tenderness. Repeated semen analysis showed that a large number of immature sperm could be seen, and they had the ability to move. The SUN5 gene of the 3 male infertile patients was a case of homozygous missense mutation c.7C>T (p.Arg3Trp), a case of compound heterozygous missense mutation c.1067G>A (p.Arg356His) and nonsense mutation c.216G>A (p.Trp72*) and a case of homozygous missense mutation c.1043A>T (p.Asn348Ile), of which c.7C>T (p.Arg3Trp) and c.1067G>A (p.Arg356His) were new variants that had not been reported. SIFT, Mutation Taster and PolyPhen-2 software function prediction results were all harmful, the nonsense mutation c.216G>A (p.Trp72*) led to the premature termination of peptide chain synthesis which might have a greater impact on protein function. The homology regions in the protein sequence homology alignment were all highly conserved.The 3 male patients and their spouses obtained 4 biological offspring through intracytoplasmic sperm injection, all of which were boys, and one of them was a twin.Three male infertile patients might be caused by SUN5 gene mutations. Such patients could obtain their biological offspring through assisted reproductive technology. It was still necessary to pay attention to the genetic risk of ASS, it was recommended that both men and women conduct genetic counseling and screening at the same time. In clinical diagnosis, whole exome sequencing technology could be used to perform auxiliary examinations to determine the treatment plan and assisted reproductive methods as soon as possible to reduce the burden on the family and society. The newly discovered mutation sites of SUN5 gene provided clues and directions for elucidating the pathogenic mechanism, and at the same time expanded the pathogenic mutation spectrum of ASS.

RESUMO

Aiming to identify pleiotropic genomic loci for bone mineral density and bone size, we performed a bivariate GWAS in five discovery samples and replicated in two large-scale samples. We identified 2 novel loci at 2q37.1 and 6q26. Our findings provide insight into common genetic architecture underlying both traits. INTRODUCTION: Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone size (BS) are two important factors that contribute to the development of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture. Both BMD and BS are highly heritable and they are genetically correlated. In this study, we aim to identify pleiotropic loci associated with BMD and BS. METHODS: We conducted a bivariate genome-wide association (GWA) analysis of hip BMD and hip BS in 6180 participants from 5 samples, followed by in silico replication in the UK Biobank study of BMD (N = 426,824) and the deCODE study of BS (N = 28,954), respectively. RESULTS: SNPs from 2 genomic loci were significant at the genome-wide significance (GWS) level (p lt; 5 × 10-8) in the discovery samples and were successfully replicated in the replication samples (2q37.1, lead SNP rs7575512, discovery p = 1.49 × 10-10, replication p = 0.05; 6q26, lead SNP rs1040724, discovery p = 1.95 × 10-8, replication p = 0.03). Functional annotations suggested functional relevance of the identified variants to bone development. CONCLUSION: Our findings provide insight into the common genetic architecture underlying BMD and BS, and enhance our understanding of the potential mechanism of osteoporosis fracture.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to determine the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FOXD3 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD3-AS1) in lung cancer tissues and to explore its underlying mechanisms in mediating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gene expression levels were determined by quantitative real-time PCR; lung cancer cell proliferation and invasion were determined by in vitro functional assays; protein levels were determined by Western blot assay; xenograft nude mice model was used to evaluate the in vivo tumor growth of lung cancer cells; Luciferase reporter assay determined the interactions among FOXD3-AS1, miR-127-3p, and mediator complex subunit 28 (MED28). RESULTS: Data mining and analysis of the clinical sample showed that FOXD3-AS1 expression was significantly up-regulated in lung cancer tissues. In vitro functional assays demonstrated that FOXD3-AS1 overexpression promoted NSCLC cell proliferation and invasion, while FOXD3-AS1 knockdown exerted tumor-suppressive effects on NSCLC cells. Moreover, FOXD3-AS1 interacted with miR-127-3p by acting as a competing endogenous RNA to suppress miR-127-3p expression, while miR-127-3p repressed MED28 expression by targeting MED28 3' untranslated region in NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, the oncogenic effects of FOXD3-AS1 overexpression were significantly attenuated by miR-127-3p overexpression and MED28 knockdown in NSCLC cells. In the xenograft mice model, FOXD3-AS1 knockdown suppressed in vivo tumor growth of A549 cells, and also up-regulated miR-127-3p expression and repressed MED28 expression in the xenograft tumors. In the clinical aspect, the downregulation of miR-127-3p and up-regulation of MED28 were respectively detected in lung cancer tissues. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provided new evidence that the FOXD3-AS1 regulated NSCLC progression via targeting the miR-127-3p/MED28 axis.

RESUMO

A double haploid (DH) population and a recombinant inbred (RI) population derived from a cross between a japonica male parent Azucena and indica female parents, IR64 and IR1552 respectively, were used in both field and pot experiments for detecting QTLs and epistasis for rice panicle length in different genetic background and different environments. Panicle length (PL) was measured at maturity. QTLs for PL were detected using single marker analysis and interval mapping. Epistasis effects on the trait were also analyzed. Nine QTLs were detected in DH population, including 5 QTLs detected from field experiment and 4 from pot experiment, among them 3 QTLs mapped on chromosomes 1 and 4 were identified in both field and pot experiments. No significant epistasis effect was detected for PL. Four QTLs were detected in RI population, among them 2 from field condition and 2 from pot experiment. 6 pairs of epistasis loci were detected in RI population. One QTL mapped on chromosome 4 and two pairs of epistatic loci were detected in both field and pot experiments. One QTL on chromosome four was identified in both populations, and one marker locus RG323 on chromosome one was involved in additive effect in DH population, but epistasis effects in RI population.
