Abstract
Free circulating DNA (cfDNA) has been known for several decades. These small DNA fragments are released into the circulation from nucleated cells through necrosis, apoptosis and/or active secretion. These genomic fragments are mainly constitutional (nucleated blood cell DNA), but in patients with cancer, a fraction comes from tumor cells. Although poorly known in the field of thoracic oncology, quantitative and qualitative analysis of the cDNA is nevertheless of great interest. Total cfDNA concentration appears to be an independent prognostic factor in lung cancer. Although changes in total cfDNA concentration is not informative to assess the effectiveness of chemotherapy, following-up the fraction of mutated genes such as EGFR during therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors appears to be particularly promising for the early detection of disease progression. The use of cfDNA as liquid biopsy is also very promising for the non-invasive somatic molecular profile either at baseline either for sampling at follow-up. Thus, cfDNA is a very promising tool in thoracic oncology and its translation into practice should be developed quickly.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common, highly heritable complex disorder of unknown aetiology characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation and defects in glucose homeostasis. Increased luteinizing hormone relative to follicle-stimulating hormone secretion, insulin resistance and developmental exposure to androgens are hypothesized to play a causal role in PCOS. Here we map common genetic susceptibility loci in European ancestry women for the National Institutes of Health PCOS phenotype, which confers the highest risk for metabolic morbidities, as well as reproductive hormone levels. Three loci reach genome-wide significance in the case–control meta-analysis, two novel loci mapping to chr 8p32.1 and chr 11p14.1, and a chr 9q22.32 locus previously found in Chinese PCOS. The same chr 11p14.1 SNP, rs11031006, in the region of the follicle-stimulating hormone B polypeptide (FSHB) gene strongly associates with PCOS diagnosis and luteinizing hormone levels. These findings implicate neuroendocrine changes in disease pathogenesis. Polycystic Ovary Sydrome is a highly heritable, complex reproductive disorder with unknown underlying genetic factors. Here Hayes and Urbanek et al. identify three loci in European women strongly associated with neuroendocrine changes and disease susceptibility.

Abstract
RATIONALE Xanthomatosis associated with monoclonal gammopathy includes hyperlipidaemic xanthoma (HX), normolipidaemic xanthoma (NX) and necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG). All three pathologies are characterized by skin or visceral lesions related to cholesterol accumulation, monoclonal immunoglobulin (MIg) and hypocomplementemia. The pathophysiology underlying NXG remains unknown although the involvement of MIg is suspected. OBJECTIVE To provide further insights into the pathophysiology of NXG, we evaluated the plasma lipid phenotype, mechanisms involved in cellular cholesterol accumulation and role of MIg in an analysis of blood and plasma markers of inflammation in 16 patients with xanthomatosis [NXG (n = 8) and NX (n = 8)] associated with monoclonal IgG relative to the relevant controls. RESULTS The lipid profile of patients with NXG was characterized by a low HDL-C phenotype and an abnormal distribution of HDL particles. Sera from patients with NXG induced cholesterol accumulation in human macrophages. This accumulation was due in part to a significant reduction in the HDL capacity to promote cholesterol efflux from macrophages, which was not found in the case of NX. The MIg of NXG and NX patients was tested positively by ELISA to recognize a large spectrum of lipoproteins. High plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IL-6), soluble cytokine receptors (sIL-6R, sTNFRI and sTNFRII), adhesion molecules (VCAM-1 and ICAM-1) and chemokines (MCP-1, IL-8 and MIP-1α) were observed in both patients with NXG and NX, revealing a specific xanthoma inflammatory signature which was inversely correlated with plasma levels of anti-inflammatory HDL. However, patients with NXG were distinguished by elevated levels of IL-15 and a marked increase in the rate of intermediate CD14++CD16+ monocytes. CONCLUSION This study revealed that NXG is characterized by impaired macrophage lipid homeostasis associated with a systemic inflammatory profile that may result from the interaction of MIg and lipoproteins.

Abstract
![]()
DNA–protein
interactions play critical roles in the control
of genome expression and other fundamental processes. An essential
element in understanding how these systems function is to identify
their molecular components. We present here a novel strategy, Hybridization
Capture of Chromatin Associated Proteins for Proteomics (HyCCAPP),
to identify proteins that are interacting with any given region of
the genome. This technology identifies and quantifies the proteins
that are specifically interacting with a genomic region of interest
by sequence-specific hybridization capture of the target region from in vivo cross-linked chromatin, followed by mass spectrometric
identification and quantification of associated proteins. We demonstrate
the utility of HyCCAPP by identifying proteins associated with three
multicopy and one single-copy loci in yeast. In each case, a locus-specific
pattern of target-associated proteins was revealed. The binding of
previously unknown proteins was confirmed by ChIP in 11 of 17 cases.
The identification of many previously known proteins at each locus
provides strong support for the ability of HyCCAPP to correctly identify
DNA-associated proteins in a sequence-specific manner, while the discovery
of previously unknown proteins provides new biological insights into
transcriptional and regulatory processes at the target locus.

Abstract
DNA-protein interactions are central to gene expression and chromatin regulation and have become one of the main focus areas of the ENCODE consortium. Advances in mass spectrometry and associated technologies have facilitated studies of these interactions, revealing many novel DNA-interacting proteins and histone posttranslational modifications. Proteins interacting at a single locus or at multiple loci have been targeted in these recent studies, each requiring a separate analytical strategy for isolation and analysis of DNA-protein interactions. The enrichment of target chromatin fractions occurs via a number of methods including immunoprecipitation, affinity purification, and hybridization, with the shared goal of using proteomics approaches as the final readout. The result of this is a number of exciting new tools, with distinct strengths and limitations that can enable highly robust and novel chromatin studies when applied appropriately. The present review compares and contrasts these methods to help the reader distinguish the advantages of each approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a phenotype cluster predisposing to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We conducted a study to elucidate the genetic basis underlying linkage signals for multiple representative traits of MetS that we had previously identified at two significant QTLs on chromosomes 3q27 and 17p12. DESIGN AND METHODS We performed QTL-specific genomic and transcriptomic analyses in 1,137 individuals from 85 extended families that contributed to the original linkage. We tested in SOLAR association of MetS phenotypes with QTL-specific haplotype-tagging SNPs as well as transcriptional profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). RESULTS SNPs significantly associated with MetS phenotypes under the prior hypothesis of linkage mapped to seven genes at 3q27 and seven at 17p12. Prioritization based on biologic relevance, SNP association, and expression analyses identified two genes: insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) at 3q27 and tumor necrosis factor receptor 13B (TNFRSF13B) at 17p12. Prioritized genes could influence cell-cell adhesion and adipocyte differentiation, insulin/glucose responsiveness, cytokine effectiveness, plasma lipid levels, and lipoprotein densities. CONCLUSIONS Using an approach combining genomic, transcriptomic, and bioinformatic data we identified novel candidate genes for MetS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Allelic variation (rs738409C→G) in adiponutrin (patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3, PNPLA3) has been associated with hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis. The physiologic impact of the PNPLA3 G allele may be exacerbated in patients with severe obesity. In this study, we investigated the interactions of PNPLA3 rs738409 with a broad panel of metabolic and histologic characteristics of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with medically complicated obesity. DESIGN AND METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing bariatric surgery were selected for a prospective study. They underwent extensive laboratory and histologic (liver biopsy) assessment, as well as evaluation of rs738409 polymorphism by TaqMan assay. RESULTS Only 12 (8.3%) of the 144 patients had normal liver histology, with 72 (50%) NASH, of whom 15 (10.4% of total patients) had fibrosis stage 2-3. PNPLA3 GG genotype correlated positively (P < 0.05) with serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), asparate aminotransferase (AST), glucose, fibrinogen, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance, and presence of NASH. Multivariate analysis indicated that PNPLA3 rs738409 G versus C allele remained an (independent) risk factor for NASH, in addition to CK-18 >145 IU/l, glucose >100 mg/dl, and C-reactive protein (CRP) >0.8 mg/dl. The probability of NASH increased from 9% (no risk factor) to 82% if all four risk factors were present. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of patients with medically complicated obesity, PNPLA3 rs738409 G allelic expression is associated with hepatic (NASH) and nonhepatic complications of obesity, such as insulin resistance. These novel findings may be related to a greater impact of PNPLA3 variant in magnitude and scope in patients with severe obesity than in less obese populations. Further studies are needed to characterize the nature of these associations.

Abstract
Background Next generation sequencing and advances in genomic enrichment technologies have enabled the discovery of the full spectrum of variants from common to rare alleles in the human population. The application of such technologies can be limited by the amount of DNA available. Whole genome amplification (WGA) can overcome such limitations. Here we investigate applicability of using WGA by comparing SNP and INDEL variant calls from a single genomic/WGA sample pair from two capture separate experiments: a 50 Mbp whole exome capture and a custom capture array of 4 Mbp region on chr12. Results Our results comparing variant calls derived from genomic and WGA DNA show that the majority of variant SNP and INDEL calls are common to both callsets, both at the site and genotype level and suggest that allele bias plays a minimal role when using WGA DNA in re-sequencing studies. Conclusions Although the results of this study are based on a limited sample size, they suggest that using WGA DNA allows the discovery of the vast majority of variants, and achieves high concordance metrics, when comparing to genomic DNA calls.

Abstract
The Human Genome Project was expected to individualize medicine by rapidly advancing knowledge of common complex disease through discovery of disease-causing genetic variants. However, this has proved challenging. Although linkage analysis has identified replicated chromosomal regions, subsequent detection of causal variants for complex traits has been limited. One explanation for this difficulty is that utilization of association to follow up linkage is problematic given that linkage and association are not required to co-occur. Indeed, co-occurrence is likely to occur only in special circumstances, such as Mendelian inheritance, but cannot be universally expected. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel method, the Variant Impact On Linkage Effect Test (VIOLET), which differs from other quantitative methods in that it is designed to follow up linkage by identifying variants that influence the variance explained by a quantitative trait locus. VIOLET's performance was compared with measured genotype and combined linkage association in two data sets with quantitative traits. Using simulated data, VIOLET had high power to detect the causal variant and reduced false positives compared with standard methods. Using real data, VIOLET identified a single variant, which explained 24% of linkage; this variant exhibited only nominal association (P=0.04) using measured genotype and was not identified by combined linkage association. These results demonstrate that VIOLET is highly specific while retaining low false-negative results. In summary, VIOLET overcomes a barrier to gene discovery and thus may be broadly applicable to identify underlying genetic etiology for traits exhibiting linkage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an aberration associated with increased risk for cancer and inflammation. Adiponectin, an adipocyte-produced abundant protein hormone, has countering effect on the diabetogenic and atherogenic components of MetS. Plasma levels of adiponectin are negatively correlated with onset of cancer and cancer patient mortality. We previously performed microsatellite linkage analyses using adiponectin as a surrogate marker and revealed two QTLs on chr5 (5p14) and chr14 (14q13). METHODS Using individuals from 85 extended families that contributed to the linkage and who were measured for 42 clinical and biologic MetS phenotypes, we tested QTL-based SNP associations, peripheral white blood cell (PWBC) gene expression, and the effects of cis-acting SNPs on gene expression to discover genomic elements that could affect the pathophysiology and complications of MetS. RESULTS Adiponectin levels were found to be highly intercorrelated phenotypically with the majority of MetS traits. QTL-specific haplotype-tagging SNPs associated with MetS phenotypes were annotated to 14 genes whose function could influence MetS biology as well as oncogenesis or inflammation. These were mechanistically categorized into four groups: cell-cell adhesion and mobility, signal transduction, transcription and protein sorting. Four genes were highly prioritized: cadherin 18 (CDH18), myosin X (MYO10), anchor protein 6 of AMPK (AKAP6), and neuronal PAS domain protein 3 (NPAS3). PWBC expression was detectable only for the following genes with multi-organ or with multi-function properties: NPAS3, MARCH6, MYO10 and FBXL7. Strong evidence of cis-effects on the expression of MYO10 in PWBC was found with SNPs clustered near the gene's transcription start site. MYO10 expression in PWBC was marginally correlated with body composition (p = 0.065) and adipokine levels in the periphery (p = 0.064). Variants of genes AKAP6, NPAS3, MARCH6 and FBXL7 have been previously reported to be associated with insulin resistance, inflammatory markers or adiposity studies using genome-wide approaches whereas associations of CDH18 and MYO10 with MetS traits have not been reported before. CONCLUSIONS Adiponectin QTLs-based SNP association and mRNA expression identified genes that could mediate the association between MetS and cancer or inflammation.

Abstract
Background Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) play regulatory roles at the nexus of lipid metabolism and signaling. Dyslipidemia in clinical manifestation frequently co-occurs with obesity, insulin resistance and hypertension in the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Animal studies have suggested FABPs play regulatory roles in expressing MetS phenotypes. In our family cohort of Northern European descent, transcript levels in peripheral white blood cells (PWBCs) of a key FABPs, FABP3, is correlated with the MetS leading components. However, evidence supporting the functions of FABPs in humans using genetic approaches has been scarce, suggesting FABPs may be under epigenetic regulation. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that CpG methylation status of a key regulator of lipid homeostasis, FABP3, is a quantitative trait associated with status of MetS phenotypes in humans. Methods We used a mass-spec based quantitative method, EpiTYPER®, to profile a CpG island that extends from the promoter to the first exon of the FABP3 gene in our family-based cohort of Northern European descent (n=517). We then conducted statistical analysis of the quantitative relationship of CpG methylation and MetS measures following the variance-component association model. Heritability of each methylation and the effect of age and sex on CpG methylation were also assessed in our families. Results We find that methylation levels of individual CpG units and the regional average are heritable and significantly influenced by age and sex. Regional methylation was strongly associated with plasma total cholesterol (p=0.00028) and suggestively associated with LDL-cholesterol (p=0.00495). Methylation at individual units was significantly associated with insulin sensitivity, lipid particle sizing and diastolic blood pressure (p<0.0028, corrected for multiple testing for each trait). Peripheral white blood cell (PWBC) expression of FABP3 in a separate group of subjects (n=128) negatively correlated with adverse profiles of metabolism (βWHR = −0.72; βLDL-c = −0.53) while positively correlated with plasma adiponectin (β=0.24). Further, we show that differential methylation of FABP3 affects binding activity with nuclear proteins from heart tissue. This region that we found under methylation regulation overlaps with a region actively modified by histone codes in the newly available ENCODE data. Conclusions Our findings suggest that DNA methylation of FABP3 strongly influences MetS, and this may have important implications for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Genetic alterations in cancer tissues may reflect the mutational fingerprint of environmental carcinogens. Here we review the pieces of evidence that support the role of aristolochic acid (AA) in inducing a mutational fingerprint in the tumor suppressor gene TP53 in urothelial carcinomas of the upper urinary tract (UUT). Exposure to AA, a nitrophenathrene carboxylic acid present in certain herbal remedies and in flour prepared from wheat grain contaminated with seeds of Aristolochia clematitis, has been linked to chronic nephropathy and UUT. TP53 mutations in UUT of individuals exposed to AA reveal a unique pattern of mutations characterized by A to T transversions on the non-transcribed strand, which cluster at hotspots rarely mutated in other cancers. This unusual pattern, originally discovered in UUTs from two different populations, one in Taiwan, and one in the Balkans, has been reproduced experimentally by treating mouse cells that harbor human TP53 sequences with AA. The convergence of molecular epidemiological and experimental data establishes a clear causal association between exposure to the human carcinogen AA and UUT. Despite bans on the sale of herbs containing AA, their use continues, raising global public health concern and an urgent need to identify populations at risk.

Abstract
Changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics have been proposed to be critical for triggering and effecting anesthetic-induced preconditioning (APC) against cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury. The objective of this study was to analyze changes in mitochondrial protein levels and link those changes to potential functional changes. A (18)O-labeling method was applied for relative comparison of cardiac mitochondrial samples from control and isoflurane exposed rats before and after ischemia and reperfusion. Wistar rats were exposed to isoflurane for 30 min (APC) or did not receive the anesthetic (control). Rats were subjected to 30 min coronary occlusion and 15 min reperfusion without (ischemia) or after APC (ischemia + APC). The following comparisons were made: control vs. APC, control vs. ischemia, and APC vs. ischemia + APC. Proteins were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 98 proteins currently annotated as mitochondrial proteins in the UniProt database were positively identified from three replicate experiments. Most of the changes during APC and ischemia occur in complexes of the electron transport chain. Overall, fewer changes in ETC complexes were found when comparing APC with APC + ischemia than when comparing control and ischemia. This corresponds to the preservation of bioenergetics due to APC after ischemia and reperfusion as indicated by preserved ATP level and generation. APC itself induced changes in complex I, but those changes were not correlated with activity changes in mitochondria after APC. Thus, a proteomic mass spectral approach does not only assess quantitative changes without prior knowledge of proteins, but also allows insight into the mechanisms of ischemia and reperfusion injury and APC.

Abstract
Copy number variation (CNV), generated through duplication or deletion events that affect one or more loci, is widespread in the human genomes and is often associated with functional consequences that may include changes in gene expression levels or fusion of genes. Genome-wide association studies indicate that some disease phenotypes and physiological pathways might be impacted by CNV in a small number of characterized genomic regions. However, the pervasiveness and full impact of such variation remains unclear. Suitable analytic methods are needed to thoroughly mine human genomes for genomic structural variation, and to explore the interplay between observed CNV and disease phenotypes, but many medical researchers are unfamiliar with the features and nuances of recently developed technologies for detecting CNV. In this article, we evaluate a suite of commonly used and recently developed approaches to uncovering genome-wide CNVs and discuss the relative merits of each.

Abstract
The regulation of gene transcription is fundamental to the existence of complex multicellular organisms such as humans. Although it is widely recognized that much of gene regulation is controlled by gene-specific protein-DNA interactions, there presently exists little in the way of tools to identify proteins that interact with the genome at locations of interest. We have developed a novel strategy to address this problem, which we refer to as GENECAPP, for Global ExoNuclease-based Enrichment of Chromatin-Associated Proteins for Proteomics. In this approach, formaldehyde cross-linking is employed to covalently link DNA to its associated proteins; subsequent fragmentation of the DNA, followed by exonuclease digestion, produces a single-stranded region of the DNA that enables sequence-specific hybridization capture of the protein-DNA complex on a solid support. Mass spectrometric (MS) analysis of the captured proteins is then used for their identification and/or quantification. We show here the development and optimization of GENECAPP for an in vitro model system, comprised of the murine insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP1) promoter region and FoxO1, a member of the forkhead rhabdomyosarcoma (FoxO) subfamily of transcription factors, which binds specifically to the IGFBP1 promoter. This novel strategy provides a powerful tool for studies of protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
The TP53 tumour-suppressor gene is expressed as several protein isoforms generated by different mechanisms, including use of alternative promoters, splicing sites and translational initiation sites, that are conserved through evolution and within the TP53 homologues, TP63 and TP73. Although first described in the eighties, the importance of p53 isoforms in regulating the suppressive functions of p53 has only become evident in the last 10 years, by analogy with observations that p63 and p73 isoforms appeared indispensable to fully understand the biological functions of TP63 and TP73. This review summarizes recent advances in the field of 'p53 isoforms', including new data on p63 and p73 isoforms. Details of the alternative mechanisms that produce p53 isoforms and cis- and trans-regulators identified are provided. The main focus is on their biological functions (apoptosis, cell cycle, aging and so on) in cellular and animal models, including mouse, zebrafish and Drosophila. Finally, the deregulation of p53 isoform expression in human cancers is reviewed. Based on these latest results, several developments are expected in the future: the identification of drugs modulating p53 isoform expression; the generation of animal models and the evaluation of the use of p53 isoform as biomarkers in human cancers.

Abstract
Phosphorylation has been the most studied of all the posttranslational modifications of proteins. Mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful tool for phosphomapping on proteins/peptides. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of phosphopeptides leads to the loss of phosphoric or metaphosphoric acid as a neutral molecule, giving an intense neutral loss product ion in the mass spectrum. Dissociation of the neutral loss product ion identifies peptide sequence. This method of data-dependent constant neutral loss (DDNL) scanning analysis has been commonly used for mapping phosphopeptides. However, preferential losses of groups other than phosphate are frequently observed during CID of phosphopeptides. Ions that result from such losses are not identified during DDNL analysis due to predetermined scanning for phosphate loss. In this study, we describe an alternative approach for improved identification of phosphopeptides by sequential abundant ion fragmentation analysis (SAIFA). In this approach, there is no predetermined neutral loss molecule, thereby undergoing sequential fragmentation of abundant peak, irrespective of the moiety lost during CID. In addition to improved phosphomapping, the method increases the sequence coverage of the proteins identified, thereby increasing the confidence of protein identification. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to use SAIFA for phosphopeptide identification.

Abstract
The regulation of gene transcription is fundamental to the existence of complex multicellular organisms such as humans. This process dictates which genes are expressed in which tissues, and controls how various cell types grow, differentiate, and respond to their environments. Although the deciphering of the human genome sequence has given us the "source code" for life, we still know far too little about the mechanisms that control which sets of genes are active in which tissues, and how their expression is regulated. It is clear, however, that much of this system depends upon the sequence-specific interactions of regulatory proteins with particular genetic loci. To be able to unravel the details of these interactions on a genome-wide basis, it is necessary to know what proteins are bound to the DNA where in the genome, and to be able to monitor how those proteins change over time and in response to external stimuli. Developing a new technology to provide this information constitutes a "Grand Challenge" for Analytical Chemistry. In this brief article we outline the nature of this challenge, and propose one strategy to address it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic factors alter the risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We sought to identify NAFLD-associated genes and elucidate gene networks and pathways involved in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. METHODS Quantitative global hepatic gene expression analysis was performed on 53 morbidly obese Caucasian subjects undergoing bariatric surgery (27 with NAFLD and 26 controls). After standardization of data, gene expression profiles were compared between patients with NAFLD and controls. The set of genes that significantly correlated with NAFLD was further analyzed by hierarchical clustering and ingenuity pathways analyses. RESULTS There were 25,643 quantitative transcripts, of which 108 were significantly associated with NAFLD (p < 0.001). Canonical pathway analysis in the NAFLD-associated gene clusters showed that the hepatic fibrosis signaling was the most significant pathway in the up-regulated NAFLD gene cluster containing three (COL1A1, IL10, IGFBP3) significantly altered genes, whereas the endoplasmic reticulum stress and protein ubiquitination pathways were the most significant pathways in the down-regulated NAFLD gene cluster, with the first pathway containing one (HSPA5) and the second containing two (HSPA5, USP25) significantly altered genes. The four primary gene networks associated with NAFLD were involved in cell death, immunological disease, cellular movement, and lipid metabolism with several significantly altered "hub" genes in these networks. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals the canonical pathways and gene networks associated with NAFLD in morbidly obese Caucasians. The application of gene network analysis highlights the transcriptional relationships among NAFLD-associated genes and allows identification of hub genes that may represent high-priority candidates for NAFLD.

Abstract
PURPOSE One approach to identify genes that contribute to common complex ocular disorders such as primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is to study the genetic determinates of endophenotypes that are defined by underlying pre-disposing heritable quantitative traits such as central corneal thickness (CCT). Collagen VIII is a major component of Descemet's membrane and studies in mice have indicated that targeted inactivation of the genes encoding the collagen type 8 alpha1 (Col8a1) and collagen type 8 alpha2 (Col8a2) subunits (COL8A1 and COL8A2) results in thinning of the corneal stroma and of Descemet's membrane. The purpose of this study is to evaluate COL8A1 and COL8A2 as candidate genes for thin CCT in human POAG patients. METHODS 100 Caucasian POAG patients were enrolled in this study. The entire COL8A1 and COL8A2 coding sequence was determined in 8 patients with CCT<513 µm (one standard deviation (36 microns) below the mean (550 microns) and 8 patients with CCT>586 µm (one standard deviation above the mean). Selected COL8A2 exons containing variants of interest were sequenced in the full POAG cohort. Association and quantitative trait analyses were performed. RESULTS Three patients with CCT less than 513 µm and advanced POAG were found to have missense changes in COL8A2; two patients had a previously identified mutation, R155Q and one had a novel change, P678L (p=0.0035, Fisher's exact test). Missense changes were not found in any of the patients with CCT>513 µm and missense changes in the COL8A1 gene were not found in any patient. One common COL8A2 SNP, rs274754 was also statistically associated with CCT (p=0.018). CONCLUSIONS In this study we have identified COL8A2 missense changes in a group of Caucasian patients with very thin CCT and advanced POAG. These results suggest that DNA sequence variants in the COL8A2 gene may be associated with thin corneas in some glaucoma patients. Further study of COL8A2 variants in other patient populations, especially those with thinner CCT such as African-Americans would provide further support for a role of COL8A2 in corneal thickness and in glaucoma.

Abstract
Three decades of p53 research have led to many advances in understanding the basic biology of normal and cancer cells. Nonetheless, the detailed functions of p53 in normal cells, and even more so in cancer cells, remain obscure. A major breakthrough is the realization that mutant p53 has a life of its own: it contributes to cancer not only through loss of activity, but also through gain of specific 'mutant functions'. This new focus on mutant p53 is the rationale behind the meeting series dedicated to advances on mutant p53 biology. This review provides an overview of results presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Mutant p53, held in Akko, Israel in March 2009. New roles and functions of p53 relevant for tumor suppressions were presented, including the regulation of microRNAs networks, the modulation of cell-stroma interactions and the induction of senescence. A main focus of the meeting was the rapidly growing body of knowledge on autonomous properties of mutant p53 and on their oncogenic 'gain of function' impact. Importantly, the meeting highlighted that, 30 years after p53 discovery, research on mutant p53 is entering the clinical and translational era. Two major steps forward in this respect are a better understanding of the active mechanism of small drugs targeting mutant p53 in tumor cells and an improved definition of the prognostic and predictive value of mutant p53 in human cancer.

Abstract
Background Lipoproteins are complex, globular molecules which play essential roles in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol. Their implication in the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, has sustained a great deal of interest in these particles. Their various functions, and their contribution to the development of atherosclerosis, are often attributed to their protein constituents, which vary greatly among the different lipoprotein classes. Recent advances in the field of mass spectrometry have provided insight into the array of proteins associated with low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and, even more so, with high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). Plasma and serum are the most commonly used samples for the analysis of lipoproteins. Although these lipoprotein sources are unique, it was our goal to determine whether or not their inherent differences would ultimately affect a quantitative analysis of the LDL and HDL proteomes. To this end, we isolated LDL and HDL fractions with fast protein liquid chromatography-size exclusion chromatography (FPLC-SEC) from both human plasma and serum samples from the same individuals. After delipidating these samples, we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis to compare the lipoprotein-associated proteins derived from both plasma and serum. Results Although the primary differences between the samples are found in fibrinogen proteins which are removed from serum, it of interest to note that, with respect to LDL-associated proteins, apolipoproteinB-100 was found at significantly higher levels in serum samples. Complement component 3 was found at significantly higher levels in serum-derived HDL fractions. Both of these proteins are known LDL- and HDL-associated proteins, respectively. Conclusion Overall, the results from our study indicate that both plasma and serum samples are equally suited for proteomic studies, and provide similar results. These findings are particularly important for studies profiling proteomic differences in lipoprotein particle composition in a variety of disease conditions, including cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A more thorough understanding of the genetic architecture underlying obesity-related lipid disorders could someday facilitate cardiometabolic risk reduction through early clinical intervention based upon improved characterization of individual risk. In recent years, there has been tremendous interest in understanding the endocannabinoid system as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity-related dyslipidemia. AIMS N-arachidonylethanolamine activates G-protein-coupled receptors within the endocannabinoid system. Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a primary catabolic regulator of N-acylethanolamines, including arachidonylethanolamine. Genetic variants in FAAH have inconsistently been associated with obesity. It is conceivable that genetic variability in FAAH directly influences lipid homeostasis. The current study characterizes the relationship between FAAH and obesity-related dyslipidemia, in one of the most rigorously-phenotyped obesity study cohorts in the USA. MATERIALS & METHODS Members of 261 extended families (pedigrees ranging from 4 to 14 individuals) were genotyped using haplotype tagging SNPs obtained for the FAAH locus, including 5 kb upstream and 5 kb downstream. Each SNP was tested for basic obesity-related phenotypes (BMI, waist and hip circumference, waist:hip ratio, fasting glucose, fasting insulin and fasting lipid levels) in 1644 individuals within these 261 families. Each SNP was also tested for association with insulin responsiveness using data obtained from a frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test in 399 individuals (32 extended families). RESULTS A well characterized coding SNP in FAAH (rs324420) was associated with increased BMI, increased triglycerides, and reduced levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Mean (standard deviation) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was 40.5 (14.7) mg/dl for major allele homozygotes, 39.1 (10.4) mg/dl for heterozygotes, and 34.8 (8.1) mg/dl for minor allele homozygotes (p < 0.01, Family-Based Association Test). This SNP was not associated with insulin sensitivity, acute insulin response to intravenous glucose, glucose effectiveness or glucose disposition index. CONCLUSION Genetic variability in FAAH is associated with dyslipidemia, independent of insulin response.

Abstract
Neurotransmitters such as serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) work closely with leptin and insulin to fine-tune the metabolic and neuroendocrine responses to dietary intake. Losing the sensitivity to excess food intake can lead to obesity, diabetes, and a multitude of behavioral disorders. It is largely unclear how different serotonin receptor subtypes respond to and integrate metabolic signals and which genetic variations in these receptor genes lead to individual differences in susceptibility to metabolic disorders. In an obese cohort of families of Northern European descent (n = 2,209), the serotonin type 5A receptor gene, HTR5A, was identified as a prominent factor affecting plasma levels of triglycerides (TG), supported by our data from both genome-wide linkage and targeted association analyses using 28 publicly available and 12 newly discovered single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), of which 3 were strongly associated with plasma TG levels (P < 0.00125). Bayesian quantitative trait nucleotide (BQTN) analysis identified a putative causal promoter SNP (rs3734967) with substantial posterior probability (P = 0.59). Functional analysis of rs3734967 by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) showed distinct binding patterns of the two alleles of this SNP with nuclear proteins from glioma cell lines. In conclusion, sequence variants in HTR5A are strongly associated with high plasma levels of TG in a Northern European population, suggesting a novel role of the serotonin receptor system in humans. This suggests a potential brain-specific regulation of plasma TG levels, possibly by alteration of the expression of HTR5A.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor p53 protein is activated by genotoxic stress and regulates genes involved in senescence, apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest. Nine p53 isoforms have been described that may modulate suppressive functions of the canonical p53 protein. Among them, Delta133p53 lacks the 132 proximal residues and has been shown to modulate p53-induced apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest. Delta133p53 is expressed from a specific mRNA, p53I4, driven by an alternative promoter P2 located between intron 1 and exon 5 of TP53 gene. Here, we report that the P2 promoter is regulated in a p53-dependent manner. Delta133p53 expression is increased in response to DNA damage by doxorubicin in p53 wild-type cell lines, but not in p53-mutated cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays using P2 promoter deletion constructs indicate that p53 binds functional response elements located within the P2 promoter. We also show that Delta133p53 does not bind specifically to p53 consensus DNA sequence in vitro, but competes with wild-type p53 in specific DNA-binding assays. Finally, we report that Delta133p53 counteracts p53-dependent growth suppression in clonogenic assays. These observations indicate that Delta133p53 is a novel target of p53 that may participate in a negative feedback loop controlling p53 function.

Abstract
The implication of the various lipoprotein classes in the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease has served to focus a great deal of attention on these particles over the past half-century. Using knowledge gained by the sequencing of the human genome, recent research efforts have been directed toward the elucidation of the proteomes of several lipoprotein subclasses. One of the challenges of such proteomic experimentation is the ability to initially isolate plasma lipoproteins subsequent to their analysis by mass spectrometry. Although several methods for the isolation of plasma lipoproteins are available, the most commonly utilized techniques require large sample volumes and may cause destruction and dissociation of lipoprotein particle-associated proteins. Fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) is a nondenaturing technique that has been validated for the isolation of plasma lipoproteins from relatively small sample volumes. In this study, we present the use of FPLC in conjunction with nano-HPLC-ESI-tandem mass spectrometry as a new integrated methodology suitable for the proteomic analysis of human lipoprotein fractions. Results from our analysis show that only 200 microl of human plasma suffices for the isolation of whole high density lipoprotein (HDL) and the identification of the majority of all known HDL-associated proteins using mass spectrometry of the resulting fractions.

Abstract
AIMS: Geography-based genetic differentials operating on entire biochemical pathways may reflect different adaptive evolutionary processes that separated populations may have undergone. They may also influence treatment outcome for a variety of drugs - an emerging and important area of study. This research article leverages the International HapMap Consortium data to identify pathway components that differ in genotype frequency for four populations: individuals of Northern European descent from the USA (CEU), individuals from West Africa (YRI), Japan (JPT) and China (CHB). MATERIALS #ENTITYSTARTX00026; METHODS: By identifying loci with fixed or large frequency differences (δ = 1) between paired population samples (CEU vs YRI, CEU vs CHB, CEU vs JPT, YRI vs CHB, YRI vs JPT and CHB vs JPT), and reconstructing the physiological functions of genes at these loci, we report a list of pathways affected by natural selection during human evolution. RESULTS: Of the 3.7 million HapMap SNPs, 463 loci (which mapped to 38 genes) were fixed (δ = 1) in at least one population pair. These private loci included four nonsynonymous coding SNPs: rs4536103 (NEUROG3), rs1385699 (EDA2R), rs11946338 (ARHGAP24) and rs4422842 (CACNA1B). A total of four additional genes demonstrated evidence of recent positive selection: three genes in European subjects (IER5L, NPNT and SESTD1) and a single gene in Asian subjects (EXOC6B). DISCUSSION: Gene ontology and pathway analyses suggest that cellular differentiation, apoptosis and activation of the NF-κB transcription factor vary between populations in genomic regions of fixed (private) SNPs identified in this study. Variability in these pathways may provide important clues into the mechanisms of human adaptation to different environments. An improved understanding of their variability may also help to explain race-specific differences in the treatment outcomes observed for a variety of modern drugs.

Abstract
In our analysis of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for plasma triglyceride (TG) levels [logarithm of odds (LOD) = 3.7] on human chromosome 7q36, we examined 29 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across INSIG1, a biological candidate gene in the region. Insulin-induced genes (INSIGs) are feedback mediators of cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis in animals, but their role in human lipid regulation is unclear. In our cohort, the INSIG1 promoter SNP rs2721 was associated with TG levels (P = 2 x 10(-3) in 1,560 individuals of the original linkage cohort, P = 8 x 10(-4) in 920 unrelated individuals of the replication cohort, combined P = 9.9 x 10(-6)). Individuals homozygous for the T allele had 9% higher TG levels and 2-fold lower expression of INSIG1 in surgical liver biopsy samples when compared with individuals homozygous for the G allele. Also, the T allele showed additional binding of nuclear proteins from HepG2 liver cells in gel shift assays. Finally, the variant rs7566605 in INSIG2, the only homolog of INSIG1, enhances the effect of rs2721 (P = 0.00117). The variant rs2721 alone explains 5.4% of the observed linkage in our cohort, suggesting that additional, yet-undiscovered genes and sequence variants in the QTL interval also contribute to alterations in TG levels in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Li-Fraumeni and Li-Fraumeni-like syndromes (LFS/LFL), characterised by the development of multiple early onset cancers with heterogeneous tumour patterns, are associated with germline TP53 mutations. Polymorphisms in the TP53 pathway (TP53 PEX4 at codon 72, rs1042522; MDM2 SNP309, rs2279744) have modifier effects on germline TP53 mutations that may account for the individual and familial diversity of tumour patterns. METHODS AND RESULTS Four polymorphisms were analysed in a series of 135 Brazilian LFS/LFL cancer patients (32 TP53 mutation carriers and 103 wild-type subjects). We report for the first time that another polymorphism in the TP53 gene, TP53 PIN3 (rs17878362), has a strong modifier effect on germline TP53 mutations. This polymorphism, which consists of a 16 bp duplication in intron 3 (A1, non-duplicated allele; A2, duplicated allele), is associated with a difference of 19.0 years in the mean age at the first diagnosis in TP53 mutation carriers (n = 25, A1A1: 28.0 years; n = 7, A1A2: 47.0 years; p = 0.01). In addition, cancer occurrence before the age of 35 years is exclusively observed in A1A1 homozygotes. In this series, the effect of TP53 PEX4 and MDM2 SNP309 on age at diagnosis was similar to the one reported in other series and was smaller than the one of TP53 PIN3 (TP53 PIN3: difference of 19.0 years; TP53 PEX4: 8.3 years; MDM2 SNP309: 12.5 years). CONCLUSION These results suggest that TP53 PIN3 is another polymorphism in the TP53 pathway that may have a modifier effect on germline TP53 mutations and may contribute to the phenotypic diversity of germline TP53 mutations associated with LFS/LFL patients.

Abstract
There are currently less than 40 locus-specific databases (LSDBs) and one large general database that curate data on somatic mutations in human cancer genes. These databases have different scope and use different annotation standards and database systems, resulting in duplicated efforts in data curation, and making it difficult for users to find clear and consistent information. As data related to somatic mutations are generated at an increasing pace it is urgent to create a framework for improving the collecting of this information and making it more accessible to clinicians, scientists, and epidemiologists to facilitate research on biomarkers. Here we propose a data flow for improving the connectivity between existing databases and we provide practical guidelines for data reporting, database contents, and annotation standards. These proposals are based on common standards recommended by the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) with additions related to specific requirements of somatic mutations in cancer. Indeed, somatic mutations may be used in molecular pathology and clinical studies to characterize tumor types, help treatment choice, predict response to treatment and patient outcome, or in epidemiological studies as markers for tumor etiology or exposure assessment. Thus, specific annotations are required to cover these diverse research topics. This initiative is meant to promote collaboration and discussion on these issues and the development of adequate resources that would avoid the loss of extremely valuable information generated by years of basic and clinical research.

Abstract
AIMS In humans, genetic variation in endocannabinergic signaling has been associated with anthropometric measures of obesity. In randomized trials, pharmacological blockade at the level of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) receptor not only facilitates weight reduction, but also improves insulin sensitivity and clinical measures of lipid homeostasis. We therefore tested the hypothesis that genetic variation in CNR1 is associated with common obesity-related metabolic disorders. MATERIALS & METHODS A total of six haplotype tagging SNPs were selected for CNR1, using data available within the Human HapMap (Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain population) these included: two promoter SNPs, three exonic SNPs, and a single SNP within the 3'-untranslated region. These tags were then genotyped in a rigorously phenotyped family-based collection of obese study subjects of Northern European origin. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A common CNR1 haplotype (H4; prevalence 0.132) is associated with abnormal lipid homeostasis. Additional statistical tests using single tagging SNPs revealed that these associations are partly independent of body mass index.

Abstract
Choosing a single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping method that suits specific research needs is not much less of a challenge than determining the genetic components underlying the disease and/or trait being investigated. This is especially true with a long list of tempting methodologies available, as summarized in this book. Here, from an end-user point of view, we discuss how a commercially available genotyping platform, the Invader assay, can be utilized to meet the needs and demands of human genomic research in a laboratory.

Abstract
Individuals with trisomy 21 display complex phenotypes with differing degrees of severity. Numerous reliable methods have been established to diagnose the initial trisomy in these patients, but the identification and characterization of the genetic basis of the phenotypic variation in individuals with trisomy remains challenging. To date, methods that can accurately determine genotypes in trisomic DNA samples are expensive, require specialized equipment and complicated analyses. Here we report proof-of-concept results for an Invader® assay-based genotyping procedure that can determine SNP genotypes in trisomic genomic DNA samples in a simple and cost-effective manner. The procedure requires only two experimental steps: a real-time measurement of the fluorescent Invader® signal and analysis with a specifically designed clustering algorithm. The approach was tested using genomic DNA samples from 23 individuals with trisomy 21, and results were compared to genotypes previously determined with pyrosequencing. Additional assays for 15 SNPs were tested in a set of 21 DNA samples to assess assay performance. Our method successfully identified the correct SNP genotypes for the trisomic genomic DNA samples tested, and thus provides an alternative to determine SNP genotypes in trisomic DNA samples for subsequent association studies in patients with Down syndrome and other trisomies.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial cells located at the inner surface of blood vessels are a key component in angiogenesis and are employed as a primary cell type in the study of angiogenesis. These endothelial cells are, however, easily contaminated with fibroblast cells, which are located in proximity to the endothelial cells, during their isolation from tissue. It is thus important to find markers to distinguish the two cell types. In the present work, lectin arrays were prepared using aldehyde-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and utilized to explore cell surface carbohydrate expression patterns on endothelial and fibroblast cells. It was found that the lectins Griffonia simplicifolia II (GS II) and Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA I) selectively bind to rat fibroblast cells and not to rat endothelial cells. GS II-binding glycoproteins on fibroblast cells, which are potential cell surface markers to differentiate endothelial and fibroblast cells, were captured on a GS II lectin column and analyzed by LC-ESI-MS/MS. Six candidate cell surface glycoproteins were identified. Differential expression was confirmed by Western blot analysis for two of these proteins, lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein-1 and transmembrane glycoprotein NMB.
