В Free-living flatworm Macrostomum lignano is a novel model organism that provides a genetically tractable experimental system to specifically study the interplay between regulation of regeneration and cancer. Here, we tested two chemical carcinogens (MMS and CsA) and short wavelength ultraviolet irradiation (UVC) in M. lignano in order to identify genes and molecular pathways underlying carcinogenic response in this flatworms. For the first time, sensitivity of M. lignano to hard UV was evaluated, and it was shown that the worm can easily tolerate sterilization-level doses of higher than 100 mJ/cm2. Using differential gene expression analysis based on generated RNA-Seq data, common and individual patterns of M. lignano transcriptional response to the induced carcinogenesis by the tested stimuli were determined. This allowed us to select promising candidate genes for functional studies using RNAi knock-down screens and for determination of their role in stem cells regulation under regeneration and homeostasis in M. lignano.

The activity of ventral tegmental area (VTA) neurons plays a crucial role in the reward circuit, emotional and addictive behaviors in animals and humans. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the functional changes in VTA neurons under stress arising from social interactions, RNA-Seq analysis was used to compare the transcriptome profiles in the VTA of three groups of male mice: chronically winning mice with positive social experience in daily agonistic interactions, chronically defeated mice with negative social experience in daily agonistic interactions, and control mice having no experience of agonistic interactions. The data obtained showed that both winning and defeated mice experience stress, however, in defeated animals, the repeated agonistic interactions have a stronger effect and cause more significant changes in the levels of gene transcription. Several genes have been identified that may be involved in the determination of alternative behavioral phenotypes in groups of male mice with alternative social experience.

Genetic mapping of QTLs controlling the ISIAH hypertensive rat behavior in an open field tests evaluating research behavior, the level of anxiety and motor activity of animals was performed. The work was carried out using two groups of male hybrid rats F2(ISIAHxWAG) of different ages – 3-4 months (n = 103) and 6 months (n = 126) obtained by crossing hypertensive ISIAH and normotensive WAG rats whose behaviors are significantly different in all six tests in an open field taken in the analysis: the latency, the motor activity at 1-st minute of the test, motor activity on the periphery, grooming on the periphery, rearing on the periphery, defecation score. In both groups of rats, genetic loci associated with the studied traits of behavior were found and the common loci associated with both the behavioral traits and traits related to the hypertension development were identified. The results of our work suggest that genes that control behavioral patterns of ISIAH rats can either be closely linked to genes involved in the control of traits associated with the hypertensive status of these rats, or, in some loci, may have a pleiotropic effect on both behavioral traits and on the traits associated with the hypertensive status of ISIAH rats.

The incidence of Listeriosis in recent years is constantly increasing. So, in highly developed countries it ranges from 0.3 to 1.5, while in Russia – only 0.04%[1]. Moreover, the indicators in Moscow and St. Petersburg exceed those in the whole country by 4 times, which is explained by the different quality of clinical and laboratory diagnostics. Moreover, mortality due to complications of listeriosis infection can reach 30% [2]. Therefore, the fact of contamination of food products with listeria is of great concern. In this case, the strains of the species L. monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. ivanovii, L. grayii, L. seeligeri, L. welshimeriare most often distinguished. And if earlier it was believed that representatives of the species L. monocytogenespossess the largest set of pathogenicity factors, then the possibilities of molecular and bioinformatics research methods provide a reliable picture with respect to other representatives of the genus Listeria, in particular L. innocua.

Abstract Allelic drop-out (ADO) is a known phenomenon of selective allele amplification representing the potential problem of correct DNA diagnostics. The results demonstrate the incidence of ADO reducing the diagnostic yield of PCR-based target sequencing.В 

Motivation and aim: Allelic drop-out (ADO) is a known phenomenon of selective allele amplification representing the potential problem of correct DNA diagnostics. Both NGS and Sanger sequencing are PCR-based methods, Sanger sequencinq is used to verify NGS results. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the incidence of ADO reducing the diagnostic yield in primary cardiomyopathy genetic testing via semiconductor NGS and Sanger sequencing of target gene panels.

Methods: We have developed 3 AmpliSeq custom gene panels for mutational screening: “K+/Na+ ion channels”, “Desmosomal proteins”, “Sarcomeric proteins”, contains 1049 primer pairs (37 genes) totally, 152 kb. About 140 probands were screened with at least one of these gene panels. AmpliSeq sequences were analyzed in silico and visually compared with Sanger control sequences, noting the facts of heterozygosity loss.

Results: We have detected 12 ADO cases both in Sanger (5 cases) and AmpliSeq (7 cases) sequencing data. All ADO events happened due to frequent or rare SNVs in the oligoprimer annealing sites and were detected due to mismatch in frequent SNPs zygosity nearby. Three pathogenic variants would be missed if were not revealed by re-sequencing with alternative method and alternative oligos.

Conclusion: All PCR-based methods have a risk of ADO leading to a decrease of diagnostic yield of genetic testing.В ADO can theoretically affect 1% amplicons.В It seems that real scope of ADO might be much higher and depends on numbers of primer pairs. The software for ADO detection is needed.

Annotation of the protein sequences by homology search and GO term transfer from highly homologous sequences is an important task for current genome and transcriptome sequencing projects. However, large size of sequence databases make homologous sequence search difficult in reasonable time. There exist tools that apply fast and ultrafast database search algorithms to find sequence homologs. These tools usually apply various heuristics for fast determining possible sequence matches. This result in different results of these programs with respect to returned set of homologous sequences and their rankings. These differences may lead to differences in the sets of GO terms and lead to errors in query sequence function annotation.В We compare performance of the highly homologous sequence detection by several fast search tools (BLASTP fast, Diamond, Usearch ublast, Usearch local, Mmseq2) applied for A.thaliana protein sequences represented in OrthoDB database. We compared their results with the sequence ranking obtained by ClustalW program for various number k of returned best hits.

Prostate cancer is one of the most important socially significant oncological diseases in men. To select an effective approach to therapy, prostate cancer is stratified into appropriate risk groups based on criteria such as TNM status, Gleason score and the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). However, to optimize therapy, additional informative markers are necessary, and the aim of this study is to search for these markers at the level of genome methylation. This work included methylation data of prostate cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas project. The cohort involved patients with high (23 cases) and intermediate (103 cases) risk. As a result, 1,056 differentially methylated CpG sites were found between high and medium risk groups. CpG most interested sites: cg17687367 (chr13: 79936801), cg26874611 (chr5: 168147884), cg06989693 (chr5: 41409252), cg02226810 (chr6: 1605117), cg07736716 (regulation regions: 85): 85 to 91 (85): 85 858: 858: 858: 85: 86: 85: 86: 85: 86: 85: 86: 85: 86: 85: 85.

Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common and socially significant oncological diseases in men. This study examined the transcriptome profile of the most common molecular genetic subtype of prostate cancer, TMPRSS2-ERG. As a result of bioinformatics analysis conducted on the basis of The Cancer Genome Atlas project data, 115 differentially expressed genes were identified for this study group, and in particular, the most over-expressing genes were identified: ALOX15, CACNA1D, EML6, HLA-DMB, NKAIN1, OGDHL, PLA1A, SYT13. Enrichment pathways analysis showed that these genes are participants in important oncologically significant pathways, which emphasizes the association of this molecular subtype with an unfavorable prognosis for prostate cancer.
