RatDEGdb: a knowledge base of differentially expressed genes in the rat as a model object in biomedical research. Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii 2023; 27:794-806. [PMID: 38213701 PMCID: PMC10777291 DOI: 10.18699/vjgb-23-92] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The animal models used in biomedical research cover virtually every human disease. RatDEGdb, a knowledge base of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the rat as a model object in biomedical research is a collection of published data on gene expression in rat strains simulating arterial hypertension, age-related diseases, psychopathological conditions and other human afflictions. The current release contains information on 25,101 DEGs representing 14,320 unique rat genes that change transcription levels in 21 tissues of 10 genetic rat strains used as models of 11 human diseases based on 45 original scientific papers. RatDEGdb is novel in that, unlike any other biomedical database, it offers the manually curated annotations of DEGs in model rats with the use of independent clinical data on equal changes in the expression of homologous genes revealed in people with pathologies. The rat DEGs put in RatDEGdb were annotated with equal changes in the expression of their human homologs in affected people. In its current release, RatDEGdb contains 94,873 such annotations for 321 human genes in 836 diseases based on 959 original scientific papers found in the current PubMed. RatDEGdb may be interesting first of all to human geneticists, molecular biologists, clinical physicians, genetic advisors as well as experts in biopharmaceutics, bioinformatics and personalized genomics. RatDEGdb is publicly available at https://www.sysbio.ru/RatDEGdb.

You H, Lu B. Diverse Functions of Multiple Bdnf Transcripts Driven by Distinct Bdnf Promoters. Biomolecules 2023; 13:biom13040655. [PMID: 37189402 DOI: 10.3390/biom13040655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The gene encoding brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) consists of nine non-coding exons driven by unique promoters, leading to the expression of nine Bdnf transcripts that play different roles in various brain regions and physiological stages. In this manuscript, we present a comprehensive overview of the molecular regulation and structural characteristics of the multiple Bdnf promoters, along with a summary of the current knowledge on the cellular and physiological functions of the distinct Bdnf transcripts produced by these promoters. Specifically, we summarized the role of Bdnf transcripts in psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and anxiety, as well as the cognitive functions associated with specific Bdnf promoters. Moreover, we examine the involvement of different Bdnf promoters in various aspects of metabolism. Finally, we propose future research directions that will enhance our understanding of the complex functions of Bdnf and its diverse promoters.
