1. Oral and Laryngeal Diadochokinesis Across the Life Span: A Scoping Review of Methods, Reference Data, and Clinical Applications

Author: Ray D. Kent, Yunjung Kim, and Li-mei Chen
Subjects: Adult, Speech and Hearing, Linguistics and Language, Cross-Sectional Studies, Longevity, Humans, Larynx, Child, Language and Linguistics, Language
Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review of research on oral and laryngeal diadochokinesis (DDK) in children and adults, either typically developing/developed or with a clinical diagnosis. Method: Searches were conducted with PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and legacy sources in retrieved articles. Search terms included the following: DDK, alternating motion rate, maximum repetition rate, sequential motion rate, and syllable repetition rate. Results: Three hundred sixty articles were retrieved and included in the review. Data source tables for children and adults list the number and ages of study participants, DDK task, and language(s) spoken. Cross-sectional data for typically developing children and typically developed adults are compiled for the monosyllables /pʌ/, /tʌ/, and /kʌ/; the trisyllable /pʌtʌkʌ/; and laryngeal DDK. In addition, DDK results are summarized for 26 disorders or conditions. Discussion: A growing number of multidisciplinary reports on DDK affirm its role in clinical practice and research across the world. Atypical DDK is not a well-defined singular entity but rather a label for a collection of disturbances associated with diverse etiologies, including motoric, structural, sensory, and cognitive. The clinical value of DDK can be optimized by consideration of task parameters, analysis method, and population of interest.

Abstract: Ovarian carcinoma immunoreactive antigen domain 2 (OCIAD2) has been reported to show significantly higher expression in invasive lung adenocarcinoma than in lung adenocarcinoma in situ, and its abnormal expression is associated with poorer prognosis of the patients. However, the cellular function of OCIAD2 in this tumor remains poorly understood. In the present study, we first validated that OCIAD2 showed higher expression in human lung adenocarcinoma tissues or cell lines than in normal lung tissue or immortalized normal bronchial epithelial cells. OCIAD2 was localized predominantly at the mitochondrial membrane in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Interestingly, suppression of OCIAD2 led to loss of mitochondrial structure and a reduction in the number of mitochondria. Moreover, OCIAD2 suppression led to downregulation of cellular growth, proliferation, migration, and invasion, and upregulation of mitochondria‐related apoptosis. We also showed that OCIAD2 suppression induced a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and release of cytochrome c. Transcriptional profiling using RNA sequencing revealed a total of 137 genes whose expression was commonly altered after OCIAD2 knockdown in three lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (A549, HCC827, and PC9). Pathway enrichment analysis of those genes demonstrated significant enrichment in apoptotic signaling or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways. Our data suggest that OCIAD2 inhibits the mitochondria‐initiated apoptosis and thus promotes the survival of lung cancer cells. Therefore, OCIAD2 may be an effective target for treatment of lung adenocarcinoma., In lung adenocarcinoma, OCIAD2 maintains the mitochondria integrity and promotes tumor progression by acting as an antiapoptotic factor. However, inhibition of OCIAD2 causes fatal defects in the mitochondria and also induces mitochondrial apoptosis by depolarizing the mitochondrial membrane potential, releasing cytochrome c, and activating caspase cascades in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Abstract: The expression of Ras-specific guanine nucleotide-releasing factor 2 (RasGRF2) in lung adenocarcinomas was examined using immunohistochemistry in relation to clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. In comparison to low expression, high expression of RasGRF2 was more closely associated with poor prognosis. Interestingly, expression of phosphorylated epithelial cell transforming 2 (pECT2), which - like RasGRF2 - is also a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor, was also associated with prognosis, and patients with high expression of both RasGRF2 and pECT2 had a much poorer outcome than those who were negative for both.

4. The Primary Process and Key Concepts of Economic Evaluation in Healthcare

Author: Younhee Kim, Yunjung Kim, Hyeon-Jeong Lee, Seulki Lee, Sun-Young Park, Sung-Hee Oh, Suhyun Jang, Taejin Lee, Jeonghoon Ahn, and Sangjin Shin
Subjects: Pharmaceutical Preparations, Cost-Benefit Analysis, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Humans, Quality-Adjusted Life Years, Delivery of Health Care
Abstract: Economic evaluations in the healthcare are used to assess economic efficiency of pharmaceuticals and medical interventions such as diagnoses and medical procedures. This study introduces the main concepts of economic evaluation across its key steps: planning, outcome and cost calculation, modeling, cost-effectiveness results, uncertainty analysis, and decision-making. When planning an economic evaluation, we determine the study population, intervention, comparators, perspectives, time horizon, discount rates, and type of economic evaluation. In healthcare economic evaluations, outcomes include changes in mortality, the survival rate, life years, and quality-adjusted life years, while costs include medical, non-medical, and productivity costs. Model-based economic evaluations, including decision tree and Markov models, are mainly used to calculate the total costs and total effects. In cost-effectiveness or costutility analyses, cost-effectiveness is evaluated using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, which is the additional cost per one additional unit of effectiveness gained by an intervention compared with a comparator. All outcomes have uncertainties owing to limited evidence, diverse methodologies, and unexplained variation. Thus, researchers should review these uncertainties and confirm their robustness. We hope to contribute to the establishment and dissemination of economic evaluation methodologies that reflect Korean clinical and research environment and ultimately improve the rationality of healthcare policies.

Abstract: We assessed the feasibility of a hybrid monitoring system (minimal on-site monitoring + strategic central monitoring) used at the academic research office at Asan Medical Center (Seoul, Korea) in monitoring investigator-sponsored oncology trials.Monitoring findings in three oncology trials conducted between 2014 and 2017 were compared. A confirmatory source data verification (SDV) was carried out in the low-risk trial and compared with the central monitoring findings. The economic advantages of central monitoring were tested by calculating the monitoring hours per patient.A total of 50, 118, 228 patients were enrolled in the high-, intermediate-, and low-risk trials, respectively. The high-risk trial was monitored through 42 on-site visits (1299 findings); the intermediate-risk trial had 79 monitorings (on-site, 24%; central, 76%; 1464 findings); the low-risk trial had 197 monitorings (on-site, 4%; central, 96%; 3364 findings). Central monitoring was more effective than on-site monitoring in revealing minor errors such as "missing case report forms" and "data outliers" (both P 0.0001), and showed comparable results in revealing major issues such as investigational product compliance and delayed reporting of serious adverse events (both P 0.05). Confirmatory SDV in the low-risk trial revealed more findings than central monitoring in the "inconsistent data" and "inappropriate adverse event" categories. The total monitoring hours per patient were lower in the intermediate- and low-risk trials than in the high-risk trial (8.1 and 7.3 vs. 14.3 h, respectively).Our hybrid monitoring system showed acceptable feasibility in revealing both major and minor issues in multi-center oncology investigator-sponsored trials.

Subjects: Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic, Cross-Sectional Studies, Leadership and Management, COVID-19, Humans, Nurse Administrators, Pandemics
Abstract: To analyse the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and examine its related factors among nurses who worked during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Daegu, South Korea.Nurses are a high-risk population for PTSD, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted to identify the nursing work environmental factors that should be addressed to reduce PTSD.Using a cross-sectional design, 365 nurses were enrolled. Their characteristics (intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and COVID-19-related) and PTSD Checklist-5 scores were analysed.The average PTSD score was 14.98 ± 15.94, and 16.5% of the participants had a high risk of PTSD. Nurses were more likely to have PTSD if they were married (odds ratio = 3.02, p = .013) and when nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support of nurses were low (odds ratio = 3.81, p .001).The nursing work environment was found to be associated with PTSD. Therefore, interventions are necessary to increase nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support for nurses to reduce the risk of PTSD among nurses.Effective professional and social support and interventions to improve nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support of nurses are needed to reduce PTSD.

7. Acoustic and Articulatory Characteristics of English Semivowels /ɹ, l, w/ Produced by Adult Second-Language Speakers

Author: Yunjung Kim, Hyunju Chung, and Austin Thompson
Subjects: Adult, Speech and Hearing, Linguistics and Language, Phonetics, Humans, Multilingualism, Acoustics, Language and Linguistics, Speech Acoustics, Language
Abstract: Purpose: This study presents the results of acoustic and kinematic analyses of word-initial semivowels (/ɹ, l, w/) produced by second-language (L2) speakers of English whose native language is Korean. In addition, the relationship of acoustic and kinematic measures to the ratings of foreign accent was examined by correlation analyses. Method: Eleven L2 speakers and 10 native speakers (first language [L1]) of English read The Caterpillar passage. Acoustic and kinematic data were simultaneously recorded using an electromagnetic articulography system. In addition to speaking rate, two acoustic measures (ratio of third-formant [F3] frequency to second-formant [F2] frequency and duration of steady states of F2) and two kinematic measures (lip aperture and duration of lingual maximum hold) were obtained from individual target sounds. To examine the degree of contrast among the three sounds, acoustic and kinematic Euclidean distances were computed on the F2–F3 and x – y planes, respectively. Results: Compared with L1 speakers, L2 speakers exhibited a significantly slower speaking rate. For the three semivowels, L2 speakers showed a reduced F3/F2 ratio during constriction, increased lip aperture, and reduced acoustic Euclidean distances among semivowels. Additionally, perceptual ratings of foreign accent were significantly correlated with three measures: duration of steady F2, acoustic Euclidean distance, and kinematic Euclidean distance. Conclusions: The findings provide acoustic and kinematic evidence for challenges that L2 speakers experience in the production of English semivowels, especially /ɹ/ and /w/. The robust and consistent finding of reduced contrasts among semivowels and their correlations with perceptual accent ratings suggests using sound contrasts as a potentially effective approach to accent modification paradigms.

Abstract: Contains fulltext : 248656.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Sex differences in incidence and/or presentation of schizophrenia (SCZ), major depressive disorder (MDD), and bipolar disorder (BIP) are pervasive. Previous evidence for shared genetic risk and sex differences in brain abnormalities across disorders suggest possible shared sex-dependent genetic risk. METHODS: We conducted the largest to date genome-wide genotype-by-sex (G×S) interaction of risk for these disorders using 85,735 cases (33,403 SCZ, 19,924 BIP, and 32,408 MDD) and 109,946 controls from the PGC (Psychiatric Genomics Consortium) and iPSYCH. RESULTS: Across disorders, genome-wide significant single nucleotide polymorphism-by-sex interaction was detected for a locus encompassing NKAIN2 (rs117780815, p = 3.2 × 10(-8)), which interacts with sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) enzymes, implicating neuronal excitability. Three additional loci showed evidence (p < 1 × 10(-6)) for cross-disorder G×S interaction (rs7302529, p = 1.6 × 10(-7); rs73033497, p = 8.8 × 10(-7); rs7914279, p = 6.4 × 10(-7)), implicating various functions. Gene-based analyses identified G×S interaction across disorders (p = 8.97 × 10(-7)) with transcriptional inhibitor SLTM. Most significant in SCZ was a MOCOS gene locus (rs11665282, p = 1.5 × 10(-7)), implicating vascular endothelial cells. Secondary analysis of the PGC-SCZ dataset detected an interaction (rs13265509, p = 1.1 × 10(-7)) in a locus containing IDO2, a kynurenine pathway enzyme with immunoregulatory functions implicated in SCZ, BIP, and MDD. Pathway enrichment analysis detected significant G×S interaction of genes regulating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling in MDD (false discovery rate-corrected p < .05). CONCLUSIONS: In the largest genome-wide G×S analysis of mood and psychotic disorders to date, there was substantial genetic overlap between the sexes. However, significant sex-dependent effects were enriched for genes related to neuronal development and immune and vascular functions across and within SCZ, BIP, and MDD at the variant, gene, and pathway levels.

Abstract: Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) is frequently mutated in human cancer, but its roles in lymphopoiesis and tissue homeostasis remain poorly defined. Here we show that PTEN orchestrates a two-step developmental process linking antigen receptor and IL-23-Stat3 signalling to type-17 innate-like T cell generation. Loss of PTEN leads to pronounced accumulation of mature IL-17-producing innate-like T cells in the thymus. IL-23 is essential for their accumulation, and ablation of IL-23 or IL-17 signalling rectifies the reduced survival of female PTEN-haploinsufficient mice that model human patients with PTEN mutations. Single-cell transcriptome and network analyses revealed the dynamic regulation of PTEN, mTOR and metabolic activities that accompanied type-17 cell programming. Furthermore, deletion of mTORC1 or mTORC2 blocks PTEN loss-driven type-17 cell accumulation, and this is further shaped by the Foxo1 and Stat3 pathways. Collectively, our study establishes developmental and metabolic signalling networks underpinning type-17 cell fate decisions and their functional effects at coordinating PTEN-dependent tissue homeostasis.

Abstract: A fixed-dose combination of inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting beta agonist (ICS/LABA) may increase the risk of pneumonia in patients with chronic airway diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. Although lung deposition of ICS/LABA is dependent on the inhaler device and inhalation technique, there have been few studies comparing the risk for pneumonia according to the type of device used to deliver ICS/LABA in real-world practice. A retrospective cohort study was performed using the National Health Insurance Database of the Korean Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. New users who began ICS/LABA were selected and followed-up 180 days after ICS/LABA initiation. The risk for pneumonia requiring emergency room (ER) visit or admission was compared according to inhaler device used—pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) or dry powder inhaler (DPI)—after individual exact matching (1:5). Among the eligible cohort of 245,477 new ICS/LABA users, 7,942 patients who used pMDI only were matched with 39,690 patients who used DPI only. The incidence of pneumonia was higher in the pMDI group (1.6%) than the DPI group (1.1%); the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for pneumonia was 1.6 (95% CI 1.3–2.0; p

Abstract: The landscape of genetic alterations in disease models such as transgenic mice or mice with carcinogen‐induced tumors has provided a huge amount of information that has shed light on the process of tumorigenesis in human non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We have previously identified stratifin (SFN) as a potent oncogene, and generated SFN‐transgenic (Tg‐SPC‐SFN +/−) mice, which express human SFN (hSFN) only in the lung. Here, we have found that carcinogen nicotine‐derived nitrosaminoketone (NNK)‐induced tumors developing in Tg‐SPC‐SFN +/− mice show a similar histology to human lung adenocarcinoma and exhibit high hSFN expression. In order to compare the genetic characteristics of Tg‐SPC‐SFN +/− tumors and human lung adenocarcinoma, the former were subjected to whole‐exome sequencing. Interestingly, Tg‐SPC‐SFN +/− tumors showed the distinct distribution of exonic mutations and high number of mutated genes and transversion. Moreover, Tg‐SPC‐SFN +/− tumors showed 73 genes that were commonly detected in more than 2 tumors, mutations of which were also found in human lung adenocarcinoma. The expression levels of some of these genes were significantly associated with the clinical outcome of lung adenocarcinoma patients. Additionally, mutated genes in Tg‐SPC‐SFN +/− tumors were closely associated with key canonical pathways such as PI3K/AKT signaling and apoptosis signaling. These results suggest that SFN overexpression is a universal abnormality in human lung adenocarcinogenesis and Tg‐SPC‐SFN +/− tumors recapitulate key features of major human lung adenocarcinoma. Therefore, Tg‐SPC‐SFN +/− mice provide a useful model for clarifying the molecular mechanism underlying lung adenocarcinogenesis.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Polygenic scores (PGSs), which assess the genetic risk of individuals for a disease, are calculated as a weighted count of risk alleles identified in genome-wide association studies. PGS methods differ in which DNA variants are included and the weights assigned to them; some require an independent tuning sample to help inform these choices. PGSs are evaluated in independent target cohorts with known disease status. Variability between target cohorts is observed in applications to real data sets, which could reflect a number of factors, e.g., phenotype definition or technical factors.METHODS: The Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Working Groups for schizophrenia and major depressive disorder bring together many independently collected case-control cohorts. We used these resources (31,328 schizophrenia cases, 41,191 controls; 248,750 major depressive disorder cases, 563,184 controls) in repeated application of leave-one-cohort-out meta-analyses, each used to calculate and evaluate PGS in the left-out (target) cohort. Ten PGS methods (the baseline PC+T method and 9 methods that model genetic architecture more formally: SBLUP, LDpred2-Inf, LDpred-funct, LDpred2, Lassosum, PRS-CS, PRS-CS-auto, SBayesR, MegaPRS) were compared.RESULTS: Compared with PC+T, the other 9 methods gave higher prediction statistics, MegaPRS, LDPred2, and SBayesR significantly so, explaining up to 9.2% variance in liability for schizophrenia across 30 target cohorts, an increase of 44%. For major depressive disorder across 26 target cohorts, these statistics were 3.5% and 59%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS: Although the methods that more formally model genetic architecture have similar performance, MegaPRS, LDpred2, and SBayesR rank highest in most comparisons and are recommended in applications to psychiatric disorders.

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), which can ultimately progress to kidney failure, is influenced by genetics and the environment. Genes identified in human genome wide association studies (GWAS) explain only a small proportion of the heritable variation and lack functional validation, indicating the need for additional model systems. Outbred heterogeneous stock (HS) rats have been used for genetic fine-mapping of complex traits, but have not previously been used for CKD traits. We performed GWAS for urinary protein excretion (UPE) and CKD related serum biochemistries in 245 male HS rats. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified using a linear mixed effect model that tested for association with imputed genotypes. Candidate genes were identified using bioinformatics tools and targeted RNAseq followed by testing in a novel in vitro model of human tubule, hypoxia-induced damage. We identified two QTL for UPE and five for serum biochemistries. Protein modeling identified a missense variant within Septin 8 (Sept8) as a candidate for UPE. Sept8/SEPTIN8 expression increased in HS rats with elevated UPE and tubulointerstitial injury and in the in vitro hypoxia model. SEPTIN8 is detected within proximal tubule cells in human kidney samples and localizes with acetyl-alpha tubulin in the culture system. After hypoxia, SEPTIN8 staining becomes diffuse and appears to relocalize with actin. These data suggest a role of SEPTIN8 in cellular organization and structure in response to environmental stress. This study demonstrates that integration of a rat genetic model with an environmentally induced tubule damage system identifies Sept8/SEPTIN8 and informs novel aspects of the complex gene by environmental interactions contributing to CKD risk.

Abstract: Aims This study evaluated clinical effectiveness of telemonitoring on the management of patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods We searched Ovid-Medline, Ovid-EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library to identify randomized controlled trials that compared telemonitoring and usual care in patients with type 2 diabetes. Results Thirty-eight studies (6855 patients) were included. Telemonitoring was associated with a significant decrease in glycated haemoglobin levels compared to usual care (weighted mean difference –0.42%, 95% confidence interval –0.56 to –0.27) but there was evidence of heterogeneity ( I2 = 96.9%). Telemonitoring was associated with a significant glycated haemoglobin reduction when biological data were transmitted through a web-based device weekly, when voice feedback was performed daily or immediately and when patients were provided with counselling. Telemonitoring also reduced glycated haemoglobin level in studies that monitored patients’ medication adherence, provided counselling, education and alarm message. The rate of achieving glycated haemoglobin levels of 2 = 0%). There was also significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (weighted mean difference –1.33 mm Hg) and body mass index (weighted mean difference –0.25 kg/m2), but the clinical relevance of these results can be questioned. The data available on patient satisfaction, quality of life, medication adherence, prescription changes, stress and depression were limited. Conclusions Telemonitoring interventions may be a better option than usual care in improving glycated haemoglobin control of patients with type 2 diabetes. Further studies should assess clinical benefit according to specific delivery modes of the intervention and patient-reported outcomes.

Abstract: Purpose: This study investigated coarticulatory effects on schwa. The purpose was to establish a viable phonetic environment and analysis for future studies of coarticulation, particularly in motor speech disorders. Method: Seven female adults read 2 phrases containing 4 target words in a CVC structure embedded in the carrier phrases, “Put a CVC here” and “Get CVC a puppy.” A 3D electromagnetic articulography system was used to track lingual movements during schwa production. Two indices of coarticulation were employed: (a) tongue position difference between the temporal midpoint (grand mean of each speaker) and the onset/offset of schwa immediately following or preceding a transconsonantal vowel and (b) tongue position differences between the grand mean of each speaker and each utterance repetition, both measured at the temporal midpoint of the schwa. Results: Both measures indicated that schwa is significantly influenced by transconsonantal corner vowels. The magnitude of coarticulation effects on schwa varied among the 4 corner vowels in the order of /i/>/ɑ/ = /æ/>/u/. Conclusion: Findings support the use of schwa in future studies when examining coarticulatory effects in people with and without motor speech disorders. Some methodological issues such as selection of measurement points and speech stimuli are also discussed.

Abstract: Purpose The current study examined acoustic characteristics of English /l/ produced by Korean speakers who speak English as their second language (KE). Comparisons were made to patterns of their Korean /l/ and English /l/ produced by monolingual speakers of American English (AE). Vowel context and word position effects on acoustic differences among the three /l/ sounds were examined in relation to the degree of foreign accentedness of KE speakers. Methods Korean and English word-initial and -final /l/ in two vowel contexts (high front vs. low back) were produced by 12 KE female adult speakers in a carrier phrase. A comparison group of 10 AE speakers produced English /l/. F1 and F2 values of each /l/ production were extracted at the /l/ midpoint and were compared to each other. Euclidean distances across the productions were also examined in relation to the degrees of foreign accentedness of KE speakers. Results KE speakers' English /l/ showed significantly lower F2-F1 values than their Korean /l/ across word position and vowel context but significantly higher F2-F1 values than AE speakers' English word-initial /l/. Euclidean distance between KE speakers' English and Korean /l/, and KE and AE speakers' English /l/ correlated significantly with KE speakers' degree of foreign accentedness across word position and vowel context. Conclusion Results indicate that the influence of Korean on KE speakers' English /l/ productions varied by word position and vowel context, as well as the degree of their foreign accentedness ratings. This finding suggests the context-dependent nature of /l/ productions and highlights the need for considering a speakers' degree of foreign accent when exploring English /l/ patterns of KE speakers.

Abstract: Purpose The present study aimed to compare acoustic models of speech intelligibility in individuals with the same disease (Parkinson's disease [PD]) and presumably similar underlying neuropathologies but with different native languages (American English [AE] and Korean). Method A total of 48 speakers from the 4 speaker groups (AE speakers with PD, Korean speakers with PD, healthy English speakers, and healthy Korean speakers) were asked to read a paragraph in their native languages. Four acoustic variables were analyzed: acoustic vowel space, voice onset time contrast scores, normalized pairwise variability index, and articulation rate. Speech intelligibility scores were obtained from scaled estimates of sentences extracted from the paragraph. Results The findings indicated that the multiple regression models of speech intelligibility were different in Korean and AE, even with the same set of predictor variables and with speakers matched on speech intelligibility across languages. Analysis of the descriptive data for the acoustic variables showed the expected compression of the vowel space in speakers with PD in both languages, lower normalized pairwise variability index scores in Korean compared with AE, and no differences within or across language in articulation rate. Conclusions The results indicate that the basis of an intelligibility deficit in dysarthria is likely to depend on the native language of the speaker and listener. Additional research is required to explore other potential predictor variables, as well as additional language comparisons to pursue cross-linguistic considerations in classification and diagnosis of dysarthria types.

Abstract: Immunoglobulin (CD79a) binding protein 1 (IGBP1) is universally overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma and exerts an anti-apoptotic effect by binding to PP2Ac. However, the molecular mechanism of IGBP1 overexpression is still unclear. In the present study, we used a microRNA (miRNA) array and TargetScan Human software to detect IGBP1-related miRNAs that regulate IGBP1 expression. The miRNA array analysis revealed more than 100 miRNAs that are dysregulated in early invasive adenocarcinoma. On the other hand, in silico analysis using TargetScan Human revealed 79 miRNAs that are associated with IGBP1 protein expression. Among the miRNAs selected by miRNA array analysis, six (miR-34b, miR-138, miR-374a, miR-374b, miR-1909, miR-3941) were also included among those selected by TargetScan analysis. Real-time reverse transcription PCR (real-time RT-PCR) showed that the six microRNAs were downregulated in invasive adenocarcinoma (IGBP1+) relative to adjacent normal lung tissue (IGBP1−). Among these microRNAs, only miR-34b and miR-3941 depressed luciferase activity by targeting 3′UTR-IGBP1 in the luciferase vector. We transfected miR-34b and miR-3941 into lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (A549, PC-9), and both of them suppressed IGBP1 expression and cell proliferation. Moreover, the transfected miR-34b and miR-3941 induced apoptosis of a lung adenocarcinoma cell line, similarly to the effect of siIGBP1 RNA. As well as miR-34b, we found that miR-3941 targeted IGBP1 specifically and was able to exclusively downregulate IGBP1 expression. These findings indicate that suppression of miR-3941 has an important role in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma at an early stage.

Abstract: Copy number variants (CNVs) have been strongly implicated in the genetic etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ). However, genome-wide investigation of the contribution of CNV to risk has been hampered by limited sample sizes. We sought to address this obstacle by applying a centralized analysis pipeline to a SCZ cohort of 21,094 cases and 20,227 controls. A global enrichment of CNV burden was observed in cases (odds ratio (OR) = 1.11, P = 5.7 x 10(-15)), which persisted after excluding loci implicated in previous studies (OR = 1.07, P = 1.7 x 10(-6)). CNV burden was enriched for genes associated with synaptic function (OR = 1.68, P = 2.8 x 10(-11)) and neurobehavioral phenotypes in mouse (OR = 1.18, P = 7.3 x 10(-5)). Genome-wide significant evidence was obtained for eight loci, including 1q21.1, 2p16.3 (NRXN1), 3q29, 7q11.2, 15q13.3, distal 16p11.2, proximal 16p11.2 and 22q11.2. Suggestive support was found for eight additional candidate susceptibility and protective loci, which consisted predominantly of CNVs mediated by nonallelic homologous recombination.

Abstract: Objectives DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are an important part of the methylation pathway that is highly correlated with the pathophysiology of cancers. Several studies have reported overexpression of DNMTs in human lung cancer, but none have compared the expression pattern to pathological features. In this study, we clarified the association of DNMT3a expression pattern with pathological features and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Materials and methods 135 cases of surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma specimens were used for DNMT3a immunohistochemistry (IHC). IHC score was determined by counting the number of positive nuclei. The ROC curve was drawn to determine the best cut-off point of the score; this was set at 57.5. Western blot also implemented and confirmed the specificity of the antibody. Correlations between expression pattern and clinicopathological features and prognosis were analyzed using chi-squared method and Cox proportional hazards model respectively. Result Seventy-nine of the 135 cases (58.5%) showed strong positive reactivity to anti-DNMT3a. In terms of histological subtypes, among invasive lung adenocarcinomas 41 out of 53 lepidic adenocarcinomas (77%) were strongly positive, while among the other histological subtypes only 23 out of 66 cases (34.8%) showed a positive reaction. Among non-invasive lung adenocarcinomas 15 out of 16 cases (93.8%) were strongly positive. The level of DNMT3a expression was associated with patient outcome, and patients with weak expression of DNMT3a had a poorer outcome than those with strong expression. Multivariate analysis also indicated that DNMT3a is an independent prognostic marker in lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion Our results indicate that DNMT3a expression in lung adenocarcinoma is associated with the histologically non-invasive type and lepidic subtype, and a favorable prognosis. We also showed that DNMT3a expression is an independent prognostic marker in lung adenocarcinoma. Since lack of DNMT3a is thought to facilitate tumor progression, DNMT3a might be clinically applicable as an indicator of favorable prognosis.

Abstract: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a treatment option for patients with advanced degenerative joint disease. Despite advances in THA, revision surgeries are necessitated by the long-term failure of implants using the conventional bearing material and polyethylene wear debris-induced periprosthetic osteolysis is the main cause of implant failure.1) To overcome this problem, several alternative bearing surfaces, including metal-on-metal (MoM) and ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC), were recently adopted for primary THA in young, active patients and yielded favorable midterm results.2,3) Nevertheless, substantial shortcomings of these alternative bearings have been reported, including metal ion-related problems with MoM THA or ceramic failure with CoC THA.2,4) Reported rates of adverse soft tissue reactions to metal debris for MoM bearings range from 0% to 39%,5,6) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a safety announcement in February 2011 addressing these issues. Although the rate of complications associated with CoC bearings is low, unpredictable risks of audible squeaking emanating from the bearing as well as ceramic fractures can be indications for revision.7,8) These problematic complications have led to a decline in the use of hard-on-hard alternative bearing surfaces in Western countries.9,10) There are three epidemiological studies of bearing surface usage in primary THAs in the United States.9,10,11) To our knowledge, however, there are no published studies of the epidemiology of bearing surfaces in Asian countries, nor have there been any studies tracking nationwide longitudinal bearing surface utilization in the general population. The disease pattern and age distribution of patients that undergo THA in East Asia are different from those in Western countries.12,13,14) Therefore, we postulated that the trends for bearing surface usage might also differ among countries. Moreover, taking into consideration the disclosed problems of alternative bearing surfaces, these issues in patients undergoing THA may be predicted by analyzing current national trends of bearing surface usage in primary THAs. In this study, we analyzed the data for primary THAs in the Korean nationwide database to assess (1) the epidemiology and national trends of bearing surface usage in primary THA in Korea and (2) the prevalence of each type of bearing surface according to age, gender, hospital type, primary payer, and hospital procedure volume.

Abstract: Aberrant overexpression of SFN (stratifin) plays an oncogenic role in lung adenocarcinoma. We have shown previously that SKP1, an adapter component of E3 ubiquitin ligase forming an SCF complex, is a unique SFN-binding protein in lung adenocarcinoma cells.Suppression of SFN upregulated the stability of SKP1 and accelerated its cytoplasm-to-nucleus translocation. Consistently, IHC analysis revealed that cytoplasmic expression of SKP1 was significantly associated with SFN positivity, tumor malignancy, and poorer patient outcome. After SFN suppression, ubiquitination of oncoproteins, including p-cyclin E1, p-c-Myc, p-c-Jun, and cleaved Notch 1, which are target proteins of SCFAs overexpression of SFN is detectable in most adenocarcinoma, we believe that SFN inhibitors would be novel and promising antitumor drugs for lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract: The clinicopathological implications of ovarian cancer immunoreactive antigen domain containing 2 (OCIAD2) in lung adenocarcinoma were investigated. The expression of OCIAD2 in 191 surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas was examined using immunohistochemistry. OCIAD2 expression was quantified using the H-score and dichotomized as high or low. High OCIAD2 protein expression was significantly correlated with vascular invasion (P = 0.0018), lymphatic permeation (P = 0.049), T factor (P = 0.0024), and pathological stage (P = 0.0003). High OCIAD2 expression was significantly associated with poorer overall survival (OS) (n = 191, P = 0.0325). In peripheral-type lung adenocarcinomas (n = 161), high OCIAD2 expression was significantly associated with both poorer OS (P = 0.0214) and poorer disease-free survival (P = 0.0496). Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) showed weaker OCIAD2 expression than invasive adenocarcinoma. Among small adenocarcinomas measuring 2 cm or less in greatest dimension classified according to the Noguchi's classification (n = 79), invasive adenocarcinomas showed significantly higher OCIAD2 expression than non-invasive adenocarcinomas (P = 0.0007). Interestingly, OCIAD2 was expressed heterogeneously even within a tumor, and its expression was higher in areas of invasion than in areas of in situ spread. Our results suggest that OCIAD2 could be a useful prognostic biomarker of lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract: The analysis of vocal expression is a critical endeavor for psychological and clinical sciences and is an increasingly popular application for computer–human interfaces. Despite this, and despite advances in the efficiency, affordability, and sophistication of vocal analytic technologies, there is considerable variability across studies regarding what aspects of vocal expression are studied. Vocal signals can be quantified in a myriad of ways, and their underlying structure, at least with respect to “macroscopic” measures from extended speech, is presently unclear. To address this issue, we evaluated the psychometric properties—notably, the structural and construct validity—of a systematically defined set of global vocal features. Our analytic strategy focused on (a) identifying redundant variables among this set, (b) employing principal components analysis (PCA) to identify nonoverlapping domains of vocal expression, (c) examining the degrees to which the vocal variables are modulated as a function of changes in speech task, and (d) evaluating the relationship between the vocal variables and cognitive (i.e., verbal fluency) and clinical (i.e., depression, anxiety, and hostility) variables. Spontaneous speech samples from 11 independent studies of young adults (>60 s in length), employing one of three different speaking tasks, were examined (N = 1,350). Confounding variables (i.e., sex, ethnicity) were statistically controlled for. The PCA identified six distinct domains of vocal expression. Collectively, vocal expression (defined in terms of these domains) was modulated as a function of speech task and was related to the cognitive and clinical variables. These findings provide empirically grounded implications for the study of vocal expression in psychological and clinical sciences.

Abstract: Polygenic risk scores have shown great promise in predicting complex disease risk and will become more accurate as training sample sizes increase. The standard approach for calculating risk scores involves linkage disequilibrium (LD)-based marker pruning and applying a p value threshold to association statistics, but this discards information and can reduce predictive accuracy. We introduce LDpred, a method that infers the posterior mean effect size of each marker by using a prior on effect sizes and LD information from an external reference panel. Theory and simulations show that LDpred outperforms the approach of pruning followed by thresholding, particularly at large sample sizes. Accordingly, predicted R-2 increased from 20.1% to 25.3% in a large schizophrenia dataset and from 9.8% to 12.0% in a large multiple sclerosis dataset. A similar relative improvement in accuracy was observed for three additional large disease datasets and for non-European schizophrenia samples. The advantage of LDpred over existing methods will grow as sample sizes increase. Refereed/Peer-reviewed

27. Stratifin regulates stabilization of receptor tyrosine kinases via interaction with ubiquitin-specific protease 8 in lung adenocarcinoma

Abstract: Previously we have reported that stratifin (SFN, 14-3-3 sigma) acts as a novel oncogene, accelerating the tumor initiation and progression of lung adenocarcinoma. Here, pull-down assay and LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (USP8) specifically bound to SFN in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Both USP8 and SFN showed higher expression in human lung adenocarcinoma than in normal lung tissue, and USP8 expression was significantly correlated with SFN expression. Expression of SFN, but not of USP8, was associated with histological subtype, pathological stage, and poor prognosis. USP8 stabilizes receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) such as EGFR and MET by deubiquitination, contributing to the proliferative activity of many human cancers including non-small cell lung cancer. In vitro, USP8 binds to SFN and they co-localize at the early endosomes in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Moreover, USP8 or SFN knockdown leads to downregulation of tumor cellular proliferation and upregulation of apoptosis, p-EGFR or p-MET, which are related to the degradation pathway, and accumulation of ubiquitinated RTKs, leading to lysosomal degradation. Additionally, mutant USP8, which is unable to bind to SFN, reduces the expression of RTKs and p-STAT3. We also found that interaction with SFN is critical for USP8 to exert its autodeubiquitination function and avoid dephosphorylation by PP1. Our findings demonstrate that SFN enhances RTK stabilization through abnormal USP8 regulation in lung adenocarcinoma, suggesting that SFN could be a more suitable therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma than USP8.

Abstract: J. Lönnqvist on työryhmän Psychiat Genomics Consortium jäsen. Genetic correlation is a key population parameter that describes the shared genetic architecture of complex traits and diseases. It can be estimated by current state-of-art methods, i.e., linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) and genomic restricted maximum likelihood (GREML). The massively reduced computing burden of LDSC compared to GREML makes it an attractive tool, although the accuracy (i.e., magnitude of standard errors) of LDSC estimates has not been thoroughly studied. In simulation, we show that the accuracy of GREML is generally higher than that of LDSC. When there is genetic heterogeneity between the actual sample and reference data from which LD scores are estimated, the accuracy of LDSC decreases further. In real data analyses estimating the genetic correlation between schizophrenia (SCZ) and body mass index, we show that GREML estimates based on similar to 150,000 individuals give a higher accuracy than LDSC estimates based on similar to 400,000 individuals (from combinedmeta-data). A GREML genomic partitioning analysis reveals that the genetic correlation between SCZ and height is significantly negative for regulatory regions, which whole genome or LDSC approach has less power to detect. We conclude that LDSC estimates should be carefully interpreted as there can be uncertainty about homogeneity among combined meta-datasets. We suggest that any interesting findings from massive LDSC analysis for a large number of complex traits should be followed up, where possible, with more detailed analyses with GREML methods, even if sample sizes are lesser.

Abstract: Publisher's version (útgefin grein), Previous studies have shown an increased risk for mental health problems in children born to both younger and older parents compared to children of average-aged parents. We previously used a novel design to reveal a latent mechanism of genetic association between schizophrenia and age at first birth in women (AFB). Here, we use independent data from the UK Biobank (N = 38,892) to replicate the finding of an association between predicted genetic risk of schizophrenia and AFB in women, and to estimate the genetic correlation between schizophrenia and AFB in women stratified into younger and older groups. We find evidence for an association between predicted genetic risk of schizophrenia and AFB in women (P-value = 1.12E-05), and we show genetic heterogeneity between younger and older AFB groups (P-value = 3.45E-03). The genetic correlation between schizophrenia and AFB in the younger AFB group is −0.16 (SE = 0.04) while that between schizophrenia and AFB in the older AFB group is 0.14 (SE = 0.08). Our results suggest that early, and perhaps also late, age at first birth in women is associated with increased genetic risk for schizophrenia in the UK Biobank sample. These findings contribute new insights into factors contributing to the complex bio-social risk architecture underpinning the association between parental age and offspring mental health., This research is supported by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (1080157, 1087889, 1103418, 1127440), and the Australian Research Council (DP160102126, FT160100229).

Abstract: Alterations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression frequently occur in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. Ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (USP8) has been reported to stabilize EGFR protein at the plasma membrane through the recycling pathway. Here, we examined the correlation between USP8 expression and the expression or mutation status of EGFR, as well as the clinicopathological features of lung adenocarcinoma and patient outcome. Expression of EGFR and USP8 in surgically resected specimens of lung adenocarcinoma (82 cases) was examined by immunohistochemistry. Overexpression of EGFR was mutually correlated with that of USP8, and was also associated with clinicopathological features including pathological subtype, lymphatic permeation, and vascular invasion. Moreover, patients who had USP8-positive tumors had a significantly poorer outcome than those who were USP8-negative, not only overall but also patients who were EGFR-negative. Although EGFR was expressed in invasive adenocarcinoma but not in adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), USP8 was overexpressed in not only invasive adenocarcinoma but also 38.1% of AIS cases. In vitro, USP8 regulated the expression and half-life of EGFR in immortalized AIS cells, and also cell proliferation. Our findings indicate that overexpression of USP8 in lung adenocarcinoma is an early event during the course of tumor progression, and is related to EGFR expression.

Abstract: We have previously shown higher-than-expected rates of schizophrenia in relatives of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), suggesting an aetiological relationship between the diseases. Here, we investigate the genetic relationship between ALS and schizophrenia using genome-wide association study data from over 100,000 unique individuals. Using linkage disequilibrium score regression, we estimate the genetic correlation between ALS and schizophrenia to be 14.3% (7.05–21.6; P=1 × 10−4) with schizophrenia polygenic risk scores explaining up to 0.12% of the variance in ALS (P=8.4 × 10−7). A modest increase in comorbidity of ALS and schizophrenia is expected given these findings (odds ratio 1.08–1.26) but this would require very large studies to observe epidemiologically. We identify five potential novel ALS-associated loci using conditional false discovery rate analysis. It is likely that shared neurobiological mechanisms between these two disorders will engender novel hypotheses in future preclinical and clinical studies., Relatives of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have an unexpectedly high incidence of schizophrenia. Here, the authors show a genetic link between the two conditions, suggesting shared neurobiological mechanisms.

Abstract: Diminished expressivity is a poorly understood, but important construct for a range of mental diseases. In the present study, we employed computerized acoustic analysis of natural speech to understand diminished expressivity in patients with schizophrenia and mood disorders. We were interested in the degree to which speech characteristics tapping alogia (i.e., average pause duration) and blunted affect (i.e., prosody computed from fundamental frequency and intensity) reflected psychiatric symptoms (i.e., depression, anxiety, paranoia and bizarre behavior) versus neurocognitive deficits. Twenty-six subjects with schizophrenia and 22 subjects with mood disorders provided speech samples in response to a variety of laboratory stimuli and completed neuropsychological batteries assessing a range of abilities. For both the schizophrenia and mood disorder groups, attentional coding deficits were significantly correlated with increased pause time (at large effect size levels) and, for the schizophrenia group only, reduced prosody (also at a large effect size level). For the mood disorder but not the schizophrenia group, increased average pause time was also significantly associated with neurocognitive deficits on a range of other tests (medium to large effect size levels). Psychiatric symptoms were not significantly associated with speech characteristics for either group (generally, negligible effect sizes). These results suggest that there is a link between expressivity and neurocognitive dysfunctions for both patients with schizophrenia and mood disorders. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract: There is growing awareness that reduced expressive behaviors (e.g., blunt affect, alogia, psychomotor retardation) are characteristic of a range of psychiatric conditions, including mood and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. From a Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) perspective, it would be critical to determine whether these symptoms manifest similarly across diagnostic groups--as they may share common pathophysiological underpinnings. The present study employed computerized acoustic analysis of speech produced in reaction to a range of visual stimuli in 48 stable outpatients with schizophrenia and mood disorders to offer preliminary understanding of this issue. Speaking assessments were administered 1 week-apart to examine how temporal stability might vary as a function of clinical diagnosis and symptom severity. Speech characteristics generally did not differ between groups and were similarly, and for the most part, highly stable over time. Aspects of speech were significantly associated with severity of psychosis and negative symptoms, but not with clinical depression/anxiety severity. Moreover, stability of speech characteristics generally did not vary as a function of diagnostic group or clinical severity. The magnitudes of group differences were almost exclusively in the negligible to small range. Speech production was associated with social functioning deficits. In sum, these preliminary data suggest that speech variables tap a stable and clinically important facet of psychopathology that cut across diagnostic categories. Computerized acoustic analysis of speech appears to be a promising method for understanding the pathological manifestation of these variables.

Abstract: Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a debilitating, unpredictable, and often irreversible side effect resulting from chronic treatment with typical antipsychotic agents such as haloperidol. TD is characterized by repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements primarily of the orofacial region. In order to investigate genetic susceptibility to TD, we used a validated mouse model for a systems genetics analysis geared toward detecting genetic predictors of TD in human patients. Phenotypic data from 27 inbred strains chronically treated with haloperidol and phenotyped for vacuous chewing movements were subject to a comprehensive genomic analysis involving 426,493 SNPs, 4,047 CNVs, brain gene expression, along with gene network and bioinformatic analysis. Our results identified ~50 genes that we expect to have high prior probabilities for association with haloperidol-induced TD, most of which have never been tested for association with human TD. Among our top candidates were genes regulating the development of brain motor control regions (Zic4 and Nkx6-1), glutamate receptors (Grin1 and Grin2a), and an indirect target of haloperidol (Drd1a) that has not been studied as well as the direct target, Drd2.

Abstract: The purpose of this invited review is to summarize the state of genetic research into the etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ) and to consider options for progress. The fundamental uncertainty in SCZ genetics has always been the nature of the beast, the underlying genetic architecture. If this were known, studies using the appropriate technologies and sample sizes could be designed with an excellent chance of producing high-confidence results. Until recently, few pertinent data were available, and the field necessarily relied on speculation. However, for the first time in the complex and frustrating history of inquiry into the genetics of SCZ, we now have empirical data about the genetic basis of SCZ that implicate specific loci and that can be used to plan the next steps forward.

Abstract: One of the major goals of this review was to identify obesity-specific gene profiles in animal models to help comprehend the pathogenic mechanisms and the prediction of the phenotypic outcomes of obesity and its associated metabolic diseases. The genomic examination of insulin-sensitive tissues, such as the adipose and hepatic tissues, has provided a wealth of information about the changes in gene expression in obesity and its associated metabolic diseases. The overexpression of genes related to inflammation, immune response, adhesion molecules, and lipid metabolism is a major characteristic of white adipose tissue, while the overexpression of the genes related to lipid metabolism, adipocyte differentiation, defense, and stress responses is noticeable in the non-alcoholic fatty liver of obese rodents. The hepatic-gene expression profiles led us to hypothesize that in obese rodents, the livers are supplied with large amounts of free fatty acids under conditions associated with obesity either through increased fatty acid biosynthesis or through decreased fatty acid oxidation, which may lead to increased mitochondrial respiratory activity. The wide list of genes that were identified in previous studies could be a source of potential therapeutic targets because most of these genes are involved in the key mechanisms of obesity development, from adipocyte differentiation to the disturbance of metabolism.

Abstract: Objective: This study investigated the distribution of second-formant (F2) slopes in a relatively large number of speakers with dysarthria associated with two different underlying diseases. Patients and Methods: Forty speakers with dysarthria (20 with Parkinson’s disease, PD; 20 with stroke) and 5 control speakers without a history of neurological disease were asked to repeat six words (coat, hail, sigh, shoot, row and wax) 10 times. Acoustic analysis was performed to derive F2 slope, and speech intelligibility data were collected using a direct magnitude estimate technique to examine its relationship to F2 slope. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that both clinical groups showed significantly reduced F2 slopes compared to healthy speakers for all words but row. No group difference was found between speakers with PD and stroke; however, different words showed varying sensitivity to the speech motor control problems. The F2 slopes of only two words, shoot and wax, were significantly correlated with scaled speech intelligibility. Conclusion: The findings support the idea that distributional characteristics of acoustic variables, such as F2 slope, could be used to develop a quantitative metric of severity of speech motor control deficits in dysarthria, when the materials are appropriately selected and additional distributional characteristics are studied.

Abstract: Background: A long-standing epidemiological puzzle is the reduced rate of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in those with schizophrenia (SZ) and vice versa. Traditional epidemiological approaches to determine if this negative association is underpinned by genetic factors would test for reduced rates of one disorder in relatives of the other, but sufficiently powered data sets are difficult to achieve. The genomics era presents an alternative paradigm for investigating the genetic relationship between two uncommon disorders. Methods: We use genome-wide common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from independently collected SZ and RA case-control cohorts to estimate the SNP correlation between the disorders. We test a genotype X environment (GxE) hypothesis for SZ with environment defined as winter- vs summer-born. Results: We estimate a small but significant negative SNP-genetic correlation between SZ and RA (−0.046, s.e. 0.026, P = 0.036). The negative correlation was stronger for the SNP set attributed to coding or regulatory regions (−0.174, s.e. 0.071, P = 0.0075). Our analyses led us to hypothesize a gene-environment interaction for SZ in the form of immune challenge. We used month of birth as a proxy for environmental immune challenge and estimated the genetic correlation between winter-born and non-winter born SZ to be significantly less than 1 for coding/regulatory region SNPs (0.56, s.e. 0.14, P = 0.00090). Conclusions: Our results are consistent with epidemiological observations of a negative relationship between SZ and RA reflecting, at least in part, genetic factors. Results of the month of birth analysis are consistent with pleiotropic effects of genetic variants dependent on environmental context. Refereed/Peer-reviewed

Abstract: Backgrounds Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the lung has an extremely favorable prognosis. However, early but invasive adenocarcinoma (eIA) sometimes has a fatal outcome. We had previously compared the expression profiles of AIS with those of eIA showing lymph node metastasis or a fatal outcome, and found that stratifin (SFN, 14-3-3 sigma) was a differentially expressed gene related to cell proliferation. Here, we performed an in vivo study to clarify the role of SFN in initiation and progression of lung adenocarcinoma. Findings Suppression of SFN expression in A549 (a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line) by siSFN significantly reduced cell proliferation activity and the S-phase subpopulation. In vivo, tumor development or metastasis to the lung was reduced in shSFN-transfected A549 cells. Moreover, we generated SFN-transgenic mice (Tg-SPC-SFN+/−) showing lung-specific expression of human SFN under the control of a tissue-specific enhancer, the SPC promoter. We found that Tg-SPC-SFN+/− mice developed lung tumors at a significantly higher rate than control mice after administration of chemical carcinogen, NNK. Interestingly, several Tg-SPC-SFN+/− mice developed tumors without NNK. These tumor cells showed high hSFN expression. Conclusion These results suggest that SFN facilitates lung tumor development and progression. SFN appears to be a novel oncogene with potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract: Complex human traits are influenced by variation in regulatory DNA through mechanisms that are not fully understood. Because regulatory elements are conserved between humans and mice, a thorough annotation of cis regulatory variants in mice could aid in further characterizing these mechanisms. Here we provide a detailed portrait of mouse gene expression across multiple tissues in a three-way diallel. Greater than 80% of mouse genes have cis regulatory variation. Effects from these variants influence complex traits and usually extend to the human ortholog. Further, we estimate that at least one in every thousand SNPs creates a cis regulatory effect. We also observe two types of parent-of-origin effects, including classical imprinting and a new global allelic imbalance in expression favoring the paternal allele. We conclude that, as with humans, pervasive regulatory variation influences complex genetic traits in mice and provide a new resource toward understanding the genetic control of transcription in mammals.

Abstract: G.B. and S.N. acknowledge funding support for this work from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Mental Health Biomedical Research Centre at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and King's College London. P.H.L. is supported by US National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) grant K99MH101367. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of psychiatric disorders have identified multiple genetic associations with such disorders, but better methods are needed to derive the underlying biological mechanisms that these signals indicate. We sought to identify biological pathways in GWAS data from over 60,000 participants from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium. We developed an analysis framework to rank pathways that requires only summary statistics. We combined this score across disorders to find common pathways across three adult psychiatric disorders: schizophrenia, major depression and bipolar disorder. Histone methylation processes showed the strongest association, and we also found statistically significant evidence for associations with multiple immune and neuronal signaling pathways and with the postsynaptic density. Our study indicates that risk variants for psychiatric disorders aggregate in particular biological pathways and that these pathways are frequently shared between disorders. Our results confirm known mechanisms and suggest several novel insights into the etiology of psychiatric disorders. Postprint

Abstract: Cross-Disorder Working Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium - Vicente A.M. Acessível em: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmid/25640677/ Genetic risk prediction has several potential applications in medical research and clinical practice and could be used, for example, to stratify a heterogeneous population of patients by their predicted genetic risk. However, for polygenic traits, such as psychiatric disorders, the accuracy of risk prediction is low. Here we use a multivariate linear mixed model and apply multi-trait genomic best linear unbiased prediction for genetic risk prediction. This method exploits correlations between disorders and simultaneously evaluates individual risk for each disorder. We show that the multivariate approach significantly increases the prediction accuracy for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder in the discovery as well as in independent validation datasets. By grouping SNPs based on genome annotation and fitting multiple random effects, we show that the prediction accuracy could be further improved. The gain in prediction accuracy of the multivariate approach is equivalent to an increase in sample size of 34% for schizophrenia, 68% for bipolar disorder, and 76% for major depressive disorders using single trait models. Because our approach can be readily applied to any number of GWAS datasets of correlated traits, it is a flexible and powerful tool to maximize prediction accuracy. With current sample size, risk predictors are not useful in a clinical setting but already are a valuable research tool, for example in experimental designs comparing cases with high and low polygenic risk

Abstract: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have made substantial progress in identifying disease loci. The next logical step is to design functional experiments to identify disease mechanisms. This step, however, is often hampered by the large size of loci identified in GWAS that is caused by linkage disequilibrium (LD) between SNPs. In this study, we demonstrate how integrating methylome-wide association study (MWAS) results with GWAS findings can narrow down the location for a subset of the putative casual sites. We use the disease schizophrenia as an example. To handle “data analytic” variation we first combined our MWAS results with two GWAS meta-analyses (N=32,143 and 21,953), that had largely overlapping samples but different data analysis pipelines, separately. Permutation tests showed significant overlapping association signals between GWAS and MWAS findings. This significant overlap justified prioritizing loci based on the concordance principle. To further ensure that the methylation signal was not driven by chance, we successfully replicated the top three methylation findings near genes SDCCAG8, CREB1 and ATXN7 in an independent sample using targeted pyrosequencing. In contrast to the SNPs in the selected region, the methylation sites were largely uncorrelated explaining why the methylation signals implicated much smaller regions (median size 78bp). The refined loci showed considerable enrichment of genomic elements of possible functional importance and suggested specific hypotheses about schizophrenia etiology. Several hypotheses involved possible variation in transcription factor binding efficiencies.

Abstract: Objective: This paper sought to examine perceptual and acoustic characteristics in Korean female voices, focusing on the ‘breathy' quality as a function of aging. In addition, we aimed to investigate if the three selected measures, H1-H2, H1-A1, and H1-A3, demonstrated any changes along a sustained vowel production. Participants and Methods: A total of 42 participants were assigned to two age groups, young women and elderly women. All participants were asked to sustain /a/ as long and as steadily as possible. Perceptual judgments of breathiness were made on the GRBAS scale and by a direct magnitude estimation technique, while three acoustic parameters, H1-H2, H1-A1, and H1-A3, were measured at five measurement time points during the sustained vowel test. Results: Results indicated that the H1-H2 and H1-A1 values were significantly lower for elderly women compared to young women, although no difference in the perceptual estimation of breathiness was found between the age groups. Among the acoustic measures, only H1-A1 was significantly regressed against the perceptual estimate of breathiness. In addition, no significant acoustic difference in the measures was found across the five measurement points. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the aging voice might not be universally characterized by the breathy quality, which hints at the need for further research on ethnic diversity in vocal quality.

Abstract: Schizophrenia is a highly heritable neuropsychiatric disorder of complex genetic etiology. Previous genome-wide surveys have revealed a greater burden of large, rare CNVs in schizophrenia cases and identified multiple rare recurrent CNVs that increase risk of schizophrenia although with incomplete penetrance and pleiotropic effects. Identification of additional recurrent CNVs and biological pathways enriched for schizophrenia CNVs requires greater sample sizes. We conducted a genome-wide survey for CNVs associated with schizophrenia using a Swedish national sample (4,719 cases and 5,917 controls). High-confidence CNV calls were generated using genotyping array intensity data and their effect on risk of schizophrenia was measured. Our data confirm increased burden of large, rare CNVs in schizophrenia cases as well as significant associations for recurrent 16p11.2 duplications, 22q11.2 deletions and 3q29 deletions. We report a novel association for 17q12 duplications (odds ratio=4.16, P=0.018), previously associated with autism and mental retardation but not schizophrenia. Intriguingly, gene set association analyses implicate biological pathways previously associated with schizophrenia through common variation and exome sequencing (calcium channel signaling and binding partners of the fragile X mental retardation protein). We found significantly increased burden of the largest CNVs (>500Kb) in genes present in the post-synaptic density, in genomic regions implicated via schizophrenia genome-wide association studies, and in gene products localized to mitochondria and cytoplasm. Our findings suggest that multiple lines of genomic inquiry – genome-wide screens for CNVs, common variation, and exonic variation – are converging on similar sets of pathways and/or genes.

Abstract: Schizophrenia is a highly heritable disorder. Genetic risk is conferred by a large number of alleles, including common alleles of small effect that might be detected by genome-wide association studies. Here we report a multi-stage schizophrenia genome-wide association study of up to 36,989 cases and 113,075 controls. We identify 128 independent associations spanning 108 conservatively defined loci that meet genome-wide significance, 83 of which have not been previously reported. Associations were enriched among genes expressed in brain, providing biological plausibility for the findings. Many findings have the potential to provide entirely new insights into aetiology, but associations at DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses. Independent of genes expressed in brain, associations were enriched among genes expressed in tissues that have important roles in immunity, providing support for the speculated link between the immune system and schizophrenia. ispartof: Nature vol:511 issue:7510 pages:421-7 ispartof: location:England status: published

Abstract: Current catalogs of brain expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) are incomplete and the findings do not replicate well across studies. All existing cortical eQTL studies are small and emphasize the need for a meta-analysis. We performed a meta-analysis of 424 brain samples across five studies to identify regulatory variants influencing gene expression in human cortex. We identified 3584 genes in autosomes and chromosome X with false discovery rate q

Abstract: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have strongly implicated MIR137 (the gene encoding the microRNA miR-137) in schizophrenia. A parsimonious hypothesis is that a pathway regulated by miR-137 is important in the etiology of schizophrenia. Full evaluation of this hypothesis requires more definitive knowledge about biological targets of miR-137, which is currently lacking. Our goals were to expand knowledge of the biology of miR-137 by identifying its empirical targets, and to test whether the resulting lists of direct and indirect targets were enriched for genes and pathways involved in risk for schizophrenia. We overexpressed miR-137 in a human neural stem cell line and analyzed gene expression changes at 24 and 48 h using RNA sequencing. Following miR-137 overexpression, 202 and 428 genes were differentially expressed after 24 and 48 h. Genes differentially expressed at 24 h were enriched for transcription factors and cell cycle genes, and differential expression at 48 h affected a wider variety of pathways. Pathways implicated in schizophrenia were upregulated in the 48 h findings (major histocompatibility complex, synapses, FMRP interacting RNAs and calcium channels). Critically, differentially expressed genes at 48 h were enriched for smaller association P-values in the largest published schizophrenia GWAS. This work provides empirical support for a role of miR-137 in the etiology of schizophrenia.

Abstract: AM Vicente - Cross-Disorder Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Most psychiatric disorders are moderately to highly heritable. The degree to which genetic variation is unique to individual disorders or shared across disorders is unclear. To examine shared genetic etiology, we use genome-wide genotype data from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) for cases and controls in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We apply univariate and bivariate methods for the estimation of genetic variation within and covariation between disorders. SNPs explained 17-29% of the variance in liability. The genetic correlation calculated using common SNPs was high between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (0.68 ± 0.04 s.e.), moderate between schizophrenia and major depressive disorder (0.43 ± 0.06 s.e.), bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder (0.47 ± 0.06 s.e.), and ADHD and major depressive disorder (0.32 ± 0.07 s.e.), low between schizophrenia and ASD (0.16 ± 0.06 s.e.) and non-significant for other pairs of disorders as well as between psychiatric disorders and the negative control of Crohn's disease. This empirical evidence of shared genetic etiology for psychiatric disorders can inform nosology and encourages the investigation of common pathophysiologies for related disorders.

Abstract: We examined gene expression in the blood of six females with anorexia nervosa (AN) before and after weight restoration using RNAseq. AN cases (aged 19-39) completed clinical assessments and had blood drawn for RNA at hospital admission (T1, < ~75% ideal body weight, IBW) and again at discharge (T2, ≥ ~85% IBW). To examine the relationship between weight restoration and differential gene expression, normalized gene expression levels were analyzed using a paired design. We found 564 genes whose expression was nominally significantly different following weight restoration (p < 0.01, 231 increased and 333 decreased). With a more stringent significance threshold (false discovery rate q < 0.05), 67 genes met criteria for differential expression. Of the top 20 genes, CYP11A1, C16orf11, LINC00235, and CPA3 were down-regulated more than two-fold after weight restoration while multiple olfactory receptor genes (OR52J3, OR51L1, OR51A4, OR51A2) were up-regulated more than two-fold after weight restoration. Pathway analysis revealed up-regulation of two broad pathways with largely overlapping genes, one related to protein secretion and signaling and the other associated with defense response to bacterial regulation. Although results are preliminary secondary to a small sample size, these data provide initial evidence of transcriptional alterations during weight restoration in AN.
