RESUMO

KEY MESSAGE: This paper sheds light on the evolution and expression patterns of MADS genes in Setaria and Panicum virgatum. SiMADS51 and SiMADS64 maybe involved in the ABA-dependent pathway of drought response. The MADS gene family is a key regulatory factor family that controls growth, reproduction, and response to abiotic stress in plants. However, the molecular evolution of this family is rarely reported. Here, a total of 265 MADS genes were identified in Setaria italica (foxtail millet), Setaria viridis (green millet), and Panicum virgatum (switchgrass) and analyzed by bioinformatics, including physicochemical characteristics, subcellular localization, chromosomal position and duplicate, motif distribution, genetic structure, genetic evolvement, and expression patterns. Phylogenetic analysis was used to categorize these genes into M and MIKC types. The distribution of motifs and gene structure were similar for the corresponding types. According to a collinearity study, the MADS genes have been mostly conserved during evolution. The principal cause of their expansion is segmental duplication. However, the MADS gene family tends to shrink in foxtail millet, green millet, and switchgrass. The MADS genes were subjected to purifying selection, but several positive selection sites were also identified in three species. And most of the promoters of MADS genes contain cis-elements related to stress and hormonal response. RNA-seq and quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis also were examined. SiMADS genes expression levels are considerably changed in reaction to various treatments, following qRT-PCR analysis. This sheds fresh light on the evolution and expansion of the MADS family in foxtail millet, green millet, and switchgrass, and lays the foundation for further research on their functions.

RESUMO

KEY MESSAGE: Based on the high-density variation map, we identified genome-level evidence for local adaptation and demonstrated that Siprr37 with transposon insertion contributes to the fitness of foxtail millet in the northeastern ecoregion. Adaptation is a robust way through which plants are able to overcome environmental constraints. The mechanisms of adaptation in heterogeneous natural environments are largely unknown. Deciphering the genomic basis of local adaptation will contribute to further improvement in domesticated plants. To this end, we describe a high-depth (19.4 ×) haplotype map of 3.02 million single nucleotide polymorphisms in foxtail millet (Setaria italica) from whole-genome resequencing of 312 accessions. In the genome-wide scan, we identified a set of improvement signals (including the homologous gene of OsIPA1, a key gene controlling ideal plant architecture) related to the geographical adaptation to four ecoregions in China. In particular, based on the genome-wide association analysis results, we identified the contribution of a pseudo-response regulator gene, SiPRR37, to heading date adaptation in foxtail millet. We observed the expression changes of SiPRR37 resulted from a key Tc1-Mariner transposon insertion in the first intron. Positive selection analyses revealed that SiPRR37 mainly contributed to the adaptation of northeastern ecoregions. Taken together, foxtail millet adapted to the northeastern region by regulating the function of SiPRR37, which sheds lights on genome-level evidence for adaptive geographical divergence. Besides, our data provide a nearly complete catalog of genomic variation aiding the identification of functionally important variants.

RESUMO

KEY MESSAGE: Multi-environment QTL mapping identified 23 stable loci and 34 co-located QTL clusters for panicle architecture and grain yield-related traits, which provide a genetic basis for foxtail millet yield improvement. Panicle architecture and grain weight, both of which are influenced by genetic and environmental factors, have significant effects on grain yield potential. Here, we used a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of 333 lines of foxtail millet, which were grown in 13 trials with varying environmental conditions, to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling nine agronomic traits related to panicle architecture and grain yield. We found that panicle weight, grain weight per panicle, panicle length, panicle diameter, and panicle exsertion length varied across different geographical locations. QTL mapping revealed 159 QTL for nine traits. Of the 159 QTL, 34 were identified in 2 to 12 environments, suggesting that the genetic control of panicle architecture in foxtail millet is sensitive to photoperiod and/or other environmental factors. Eighty-eight QTL controlling different traits formed 34 co-located QTL clusters, including the triple QTL cluster qPD9.2/qPL9.5/qPEL9.3, which was detected 23 times in 13 environments. Several candidate genes, including Seita.2G388700, Seita.3G136000, Seita.4G185300, Seita.5G241500, Seita.5G243100, Seita.9G281300, and Seita.9G342700, were identified in the genomic intervals of multi-environmental QTL or co-located QTL clusters. Using available phenotypic and genotype data, we conducted haplotype analysis for Seita.2G002300 and Seita.9G064000,which showed high correlations with panicle weight and panicle exsertion length, respectively. These results not only provided a basis for further fine mapping, functional studies and marker-assisted selection of traits related to panicle architecture in foxtail millet, but also provide information for comparative genomics analyses of cereal crops.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Eczema is usually the first allergic manifestation to appear in life attributed to gene-environment interactions. IL13, IL4, MS4A2 and ILR4A are four key inflammatory genes associated with atopy. This study aimed to explore gene-environment interactions on eczema in early life among the above four genes and environmental factors in Chinese Han children. METHODS: Five hundred ninety-seven children from a birth cohort who completed two-year follow-up were enrolled and their cord blood was collected. Subjects were genotyped for six polymorphisms in the aforementioned four genes. The children were followed at 6, 12 and 24 months, with epidemiologic information and medical history of eczema collected by questionnaire and eczema assessed by dermatologists. RESULTS: Among the 597 children, 168 were diagnosed with eczema and the others were not after 2 years of follow-up. MS4A2 rs569108 GG genotype (P = 1.68E-02, odds ratio (OR) = 4.66) and antibiotic use (P = 3.75E-4, OR = 2.02) were found independently associated with development of childhood eczema. Children with both antibiotic use and MS4A2 rs569108 GG genotype were more likely to develop eczema than those with only antibiotic use or GG homozygote (OR = 6.24 VS. 2.04 or 4.68). CONCLUSIONS: MS4A2 rs569108 polymorphism and antibiotic use were solely associated with eczema, and they interacted with each other to increase the risk of developing the disease in Chinese Han toddlers. Long-term follow-up along with functional and replication studies are still needed.

RESUMO

Inherited ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of rare disorders related to over 40 genes. To identify underlying molecular causes in inherited ichthyosis among Chinese and to correlate genotype and phenotype, 35 probands clinically diagnosed inherited ichthyosis, except ichthyosis vulgaris and X-linked ichthyosis, were included in our study. Molecular analysis was performed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) through multi-gene panel testing targeting all ichthyosis-related genes. Genetic variants causative for the ichthyosis were identified in 32 of 35 investigated patients. In all, 43 causative mutations across 12 genes were disclosed, including 16 novel variants. Thirteen keratinopathic ichthyosis, fourteen autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) including one caused by mutations in SDR9C7, and five syndromic ichthyoses were confirmed. Four probands, with presumptive ARCI, turned out to be keratinopathic ichthyosis (2), neutral lipid storage disease (1), and Sjogren-Larsson syndrome (1), respectively. Next-generation technology has been demonstrated to be an effective tool in diagnosing inherited ichthyosis constituting a diverse group of cornification disorders. Our study further expands mutation spectrum and clinical phenotype associated with inherited ichthyosis in Chinese.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by exaggerated sunburn reactions, freckle-like pigmentation, and a high possibility of developing cutaneous tumors. XP comprised seven complementation groups (from XP-A to XP-G) and a variant form XP-V. METHODS: This study was based on five unrelated Chinese families with six patients clinically suspected to be XP. Mutation screening was performed by direct sequencing of the entire coding region of eight XP genes. RESULTS: All of the pathogenic mutations were identified by mutational analysis, including four novel mutations. CONCLUSIONS: Our study successfully identified the pathogenic mutations in six XP patients (three XP-A, one XP-G, one XP-V, and a rare XP-D group in Chinese population). We reviewed the reported XP cases with mutations in the Chinese population and concluded that four complementation groups (XP-A, XP-C, XP-G, and XP-V) that occupy the major proportion should be considered as a first step in genetic detection (especially, XPA is the most common group, and unlike in other populations, XP-G is not rare in the Chinese population). Moreover, XP-D and XP-F, two rare subgroups, should also be added for further mutational analysis. Further, we provide some information for Chinese dermatologists that, when an early diagnosis is made, XP-C and XP-V patients can have relatively good prognoses.

RESUMO

Dowling-Degos disease (DDD), or reticular pigmented anomaly of the flexures, is a type of rare autosomal-dominant genodermatosis characterized by reticular hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation of the flexures, such as the neck, axilla, and areas below the breasts and groin, and shows considerable heterogeneity. Loss-of-function mutations of keratin 5 (KRT5) have been identified in DDD individuals. In this study, we collected DNA samples from a large Chinese family affected by generalized DDD and found no mutation of KRT5. We performed a genome-wide linkage analysis of this family and mapped generalized DDD to a region between rs1293713 and rs244123 on chromosome 20 [corrected]. By exome sequencing, we identified nonsense mutation c.430G>T (p.Glu144(∗)) in POFUT1, which encodes protein O-fucosyltransferase 1, in the family. Study of an additional generalized DDD individual revealed the heterozygous deletion mutation c.482delA (p.Lys161Serfs(∗)42) in POFUT1. Knockdown of POFUT1 reduces the expression of NOTCH1, NOTCH2, HES1, and KRT5 in HaCaT cells. Using zebrafish, we showed that pofut1 is expressed in the skin and other organs. Morpholino knockdown of pofut1 in zebrafish produced a phenotype characteristic of hypopigmentation at 48 hr postfertilization (hpf) and abnormal melanin distribution at 72 hpf, replicating the clinical phenotype observed in our DDD individuals. At 48 and 72 hpf, tyrosinase activities decreased by 33% and 45%, respectively, and melanin protein contents decreased by 20% and 25%, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that POFUT1 mutations cause generalized DDD. These results strongly suggest that the protein product of POFUT1 plays a significant and conserved role in melanin synthesis and transport.

RESUMO

Hypotrichosis is a genetic disorder characterized by a diffuse and progressive loss of scalp and/or body hair. Nonetheless, the causative genes for several affected individuals remain elusive, and the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we discovered a dominant variant in a disintegrin and a metalloproteinase domain 17 (ADAM17) gene caused hypotrichosis with woolly hair. Adam17 (p.D647N) knockin mice mimicked the hair abnormality in patients. ADAM17 (p.D647N) mutation led to hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) exhaustion and caused abnormal hair follicles, ultimately resulting in alopecia. Mechanistic studies revealed that ADAM17 binds directly to E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif-containing protein 47 (TRIM47). ADAM17 variant enhanced the association between ADAM17 and TRIM47, leading to an increase in ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of ADAM17 protein. Furthermore, reduced ADAM17 protein expression affected the Notch signaling pathway, impairing the activation, proliferation, and differentiation of HFSCs during hair follicle regeneration. Overexpression of Notch intracellular domain rescued the reduced proliferation ability caused by Adam17 variant in primary fibroblast cells.

RESUMO

Magnaporthe oryzae is the causal agent of rice blast, and understanding how abiotic stress affects the resistance of plants to this disease is useful for designing disease control strategies. In this paper, the effects of temperature and microwave irradiation on the effector complex comprising APikL2A from M. oryzae and sHMA25 from foxtail millet were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations using the GROMACS software package. While the structure of APikL2A/sHMA25 remained relatively stable in a temperature range of 290 K (16.85 °C) to 320 K (46.85 °C), the concave shape of the temperature-dependent binding free energy curve indicated that there was maximum binding affinity between APikL2A and sHMA25 at 300 K-310 K. This coincided with the optimum infectivity temperature, thus suggesting that coupling of the two polypeptides may play a role in the infection process. A strong oscillating electric field destroyed the structure of APikL2A/sHMA25, although it was stable and not susceptible to weak electric fields.

RESUMO

Ten foxtail millet cultivars with different congee-making quality were investigated for relationships between starch structures, functional properties and congee-making qualities. Swelling power, pasting peak viscosity (PV) and setback (SB), gel hardness and resilience, and gelatinization onset (To), peak (Tp) and range (R) temperature were correlated with congee-making performance significantly. Good eating-quality cultivars with these parameters were in the range of 15.41-18.58 %, 3095-3279 cp, 1540-1745 cp, 430-491 g, 0.47-0.57, 64.43-65.28 °C, 69.97-70.32 °C and 23.38-24.52 °C, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that amylose, amylopectin B2 chains and A21 were essential parameters controlling the functional properties. Amylose molecules with linear molecular morphology would cause crystal defects and a wide range of molecular weight distribution. Additionally, they were more prone to re-association, which influenced the PV, SB, To, Tp and gel hardness. B2 chains impacted the gelatinization temperature range (R), gel resilience and swelling behavior by affecting the alignment of double helices and the size of starch particles and pores. Starch with more binding sites of bound water (A21) tended to leach from the swelling granules easily and contributed to higher values of PV. The content of amylose, B2 chains and A21 of good eating-quality cultivars were 16.19-18.46 %, 11.60-11.69 % and 96.50-97.02 %, respectively.

RESUMO

Phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica (PPK) is a rare epidermal nevus (EN) syndrome, featured by co-occurrence of speckled lentiginous nevus (SLN) and nevus sebaceous (NS). The underlying mechanism has not been clarified. Pathogenic mutations in HRAS, KRAS and BRAF gene are recently recognized as the genetic cause of PPK. Here we present a case of Chinese PPK with a mosaic mutation in HRAS gene. Physical examination of the 4-year-old male proband showed NS locating on the scalp, with EN and SLN on trunk and extremities. Except congenital fundus vascular tortuosity, no evidence of extracutaneous abnormalities was found in this case. A rare heterozygous missense c. 181 C>A mosaic mutation in HRAS was identified in samples from NS, EN and pigmented nevus using next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing. Meanwhile, no mutation was found in the non-lesion skin, hair follicle, or blood DNA. Recent breakthrough in clinical manifestation, genetic mutation and prognosis of PPK is also reviewed.

RESUMO

CCT transcription factors are involved in the regulation of photoperiod and abiotic stress in Arabidopsis and rice. It is not clear that how CCT gene family expand and regulate heading date in foxtail millet. In this study, we conducted a systematic analysis of the CCT gene family in foxtail millet. Thirty-nine CCT genes were identified and divided into four subfamilies based on functional motifs. Analysis showed that dispersed duplication played a predominant role in the expansion of CCT genes during evolution. Nucleotide diversity analysis suggested that genes in CONSTANS (COL)-like, CCT MOTIF FAMILY (CMF)-like, and pseudoresponse response regulator (PRR)-like subfamilies were subjected to selection. Fifteen CCT genes were colocalized with previous heading date quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) signals. Transgenic plants were then employed to confirm that overexpression of the CCT gene SiPRR37 delayed the heading date and increased plant height. Our study first investigated the characterization and expansion of the CCT family in foxtail millet and demonstrated the role of SiPRR37. These results lay a significant foundation for further research on the function of CCT genes and provide a cue for the regulation of heading date.

RESUMO

In this report, we discovered a new entity named cataract, alopecia, oral mucosal disorder, and psoriasis-like (CAOP) syndrome in two unrelated and ethnically diverse patients. Furthermore, patient 1 failed to respond to regular treatment. We found that CAOP syndrome was caused by an autosomal recessive defect in the mitochondrial membrane-bound transcription factor peptidase/site-1 protease (MBTPS1, S1P). Mitochondrial abnormalities were observed in patient 1 with CAOP syndrome. Furthermore, we found that S1P is a novel mitochondrial protein that forms a trimeric complex with ETFA/ETFB. S1P enhances ETFA/ETFB flavination and maintains its stability. Patient S1P variants destabilize ETFA/ETFB, impair mitochondrial respiration, decrease fatty acid ß-oxidation activity, and shift mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to glycolysis. Mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammatory lesions in patient 1 were significantly ameliorated by riboflavin supplementation, which restored the stability of ETFA/ETFB. Our study discovered that mutations in MBTPS1 resulted in a new entity of CAOP syndrome and elucidated the mechanism of the mutations in the new disease.

RESUMO

SCOPE: Millet protein has received much attention due to its beneficial role in alleviating metabolic disease symptoms. This study aims to investigate the role and molecular mechanism of foxtail millet protein isolates, including protein isolates from raw and cooked foxtail millet in alleviating diabetes, including gut microbiota and intracellular signal pathways. METHODS AND RESULTS: Protein isolates from raw and cooked foxtail millet are orally administered to streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice for 5 weeks before hypoglycemic effect evaluation. The results show that foxtail millet protein isolates improve glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in diabetic mice. However, only the protein isolate from cooked foxtail millet reverse the weight loss trend and alleviate lipid disorders in diabetic mice. Besides, 16S rRNA sequencing show that both raw and cooked foxtail millet protein isolates altered diabetes-induced gut dysbiosis. In addition, western blotting analysis indicated that the protein isolate from cooked foxtail millet increases the expression levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and phosphoinositide-protein kinase B (p-AKT)/AKT while the protein isolate from raw foxtail millet downregulates stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) level. CONCLUSION: Both raw and cooked foxtail millet protein isolates can exert hypoglycemic effects in diabetic mice through rewiring glucose homeostasis, mitigating diabetes-induced gut dysbiosis, and affecting the GLP-1R/PI3K/AKT pathway.

RESUMO

Atopic dermatitis (AD) can remit as age increases. However, long-term follow-up studies evaluating disease evolution and related factors of persistence of early-onset AD are sparse. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the persistence of early-onset AD. In this prospective cohort study, 260 patients with onset of AD before age two years old were enrolled. Clinical examination was performed and a questionnaire survey completed at enrolment. In addition, the filaggrin gene (FLG) of all participants was sequenced to identify mutations within this gene. Patients were followed at age six and 12. The remission rate was 50.8% at age six and 70.3% at age 12. Persistent AD was associated with a higher SCORAD index at baseline (p < 0.001), a family history of asthma (p = 0.003) and food allergen sensitization (p = 0.033). However, the presence or absence of FLG mutation did not show any significant association with persistent AD. Prognostic factors for persistence of AD were analysed by logistic regression analysis. Disease severity according to SCORAD index at baseline (OR: 1.039; 95% CI: 1.018-1.059; p < 0.001) and family history of asthma (OR: 3.008; 95% CI: 1.297-7.007; p = 0.011) were risk factors that may predict persistent AD based on multivariate regression analysis. It is important to stratify early-onset AD according to severity and investigate family allergic history in order to establish appropriate individual management. Moreover, genetic factors other than FLG mutation may play more important roles in persistent early-onset AD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Severe dermatitis, multiple allergies and metabolic wasting (SAM) syndrome comprise a rare genodermatosis associated with biallelic (homozygous or compound heterozygous) mutations in the DSG1 (desmoglein-1) gene, or heterozygous mutations in the DSP (desmoplakin) gene. To date, while many patients with SAM syndrome have been described, the number of cases with SAM syndrome with deep-intronic variants, together its genetic aetiology, remain limited. OBJECTIVES: We report the case of a five-year-old Chinese boy with atypical SAM syndrome. MATERIALS & METHODS: Relevant blood specimens from the family were collected. DNA isolation, RNA isolation and cDNA synthesis, and next-generation sequencing using a multi-gene panel were applied to verify the pathogenic gene. To test the functional consequences and pathogenic mechanism of the deep-intronic mutation in vitro, a mini gene strategy was constructed. RESULTS: A heterozygous DSG1 deletion (c.2437_2450delACCTATCCCTCGGG: p.Tyr814Trpfs*6) and a deep-intronic (c.1688-30A > T) variant were identified. The identified intronic variant was shown to create an alternative splice site, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay of the aberrant transcript. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to demonstrate a causal role for a deep-intronic DSG1 mutation in a patient with SAM syndrome. Our findings underline the need to analyse the intronic regions of DSG1 in patients with SAM syndrome. Improved diagnosis and a better understanding of prognosis will lead to clearer a picture of the concept of atypical SAM syndrome.

RESUMO

Autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H) is a rare form of congenital alopecia, which can be caused by mutations in lipase H (LIPH), lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6 (LPAR6/P2RY5) or keratin 25 (KRT25) genes. We present a 32-year-old woman with typical clinical features of ARWH. Hair microscopy was performed to observe differences between the patient's hair and a normal sample. Next-generation sequencing was used to detect pathogenic mutations. Sanger sequencing was used to further confirm the mutations. Abnormal hair appearance was found by hair microscopy. A novel frame-shift mutation (NM_139248: c.686delinsGTAGAACCCAACCTGGCT: p.Asp229fs37X) and a reported mutation (NM_139248: exon6:c.T736A: p.C246S) in LIPH were identified in the patient. All reported mutations related to ARWH of various races were reviewed. Our study provides further evidence of the similarity of ARWH between the Chinese and Japanese population. A novel small-insertion mutation also expands the LIPH mutation spectrum.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis (SEI), known as ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens (IBS; OMIM No. 146800) before, is a type of keratinopathic ichthyosis due to the KRT2 mutations (NM_000423.3; OMIM No. 600194). Here, we report the first case of SEI caused by a KRT2 mosaic mutation. METHODS: We presented the clinical data of a 5-year-old Chinese boy who suffered from SEI. The histopathological examination and immunofluorescence were performed to rule out immunobullous skin diseases and diseases with subepidermal blisters. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from the lesion tissue and next-generation sequencing was performed. We also confirmed the variant allele frequency (VAF) in different tissues by an Ultra-Deep Sequencing technology. RESULTS: The patient presented with blisters on the lower extremities and linear, superficially hyperkeratotic lesions. Immunofluorescence of IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4, and C1q were negative, and the histopathological results showed intraepidermal blisters containing lymphocytes and eosinophils. A heterozygous missense mutation, c.G1459A (p. Glu487Lys), in exon 7 of the KRT2 gene was detected at a 31.17% allele frequency. The same mutation p. Glu487Lys has been described several times in the literature. CONCLUSION: Thus, in our patient, the mosaic mutation explains the blaschkoid ichthyosiform phenotype. To our knowledge, this is the first case of SEI with a KRT2 mosaic mutation.
