    • The required dose of the oral anticoagulant warfarin varies greatly, and overdosing often leads to bleeding. Warfarin is metabolised by cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2C9, CYP1A2 and CYP3A. The target cell level of warfarin may be dependent on the efflux pump P-glycoprotein, encoded by the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette gene ABCB1 (multidrug resistance gene 1). Genetic variability in CYP2C9, CYP3A5 and ABCB1 was analysed in 201 stable warfarin-treated patients using solid-phase minisequencing, pyrosequencing and SNaPshot. CYP2C9 variants, age, weight, concurrent drug treatment and indication for treatment significantly influenced warfarin dosing in these patients, explaining 29% of the variation in dose. CYP3A5 did not affect warfarin dosing. An ABCB1 haplotype containing the exon 26 3435T variant was over-represented among low-dose patients. Thirty-six patients with serious bleeding complications had higher prothrombin time international normalised ratios than 189 warfarin-treated patients without serious bleeding, but there were no significant differences in CYP2C9, CYP3A5 or ABCB1 genotypes and allelic variants.

  • A Bioinformatics Study of Human Transcriptional Regulation
  • 2008
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Regulation of transcription is a central mechanism in all living cells that now can be investigated with high-throughput technologies. Data produced from such experiments give new insights to how transcription factors (TFs) coordinate the gene transcription and thereby regulate the amounts of proteins produced. These studies are also important from a medical perspective since TF proteins are often involved in disease. To learn more about transcriptional regulation, we have developed strategies for analysis of data from microarray and massively parallel sequencing (MPS) experiments.Our computational results consist of methods to handle the steadily increasing amount of data from high-throughput technologies. Microarray data analysis tools have been assembled in the LCB-Data Warehouse (LCB-DWH) (paper I), and other analysis strategies have been developed for MPS data (paper V). We have also developed a de novo motif search algorithm called BCRANK (paper IV).The analysis has lead to interesting biological findings in human liver cells (papers II-V). The investigated TFs appeared to bind at several thousand sites in the genome, that we have identified at base pair resolution. The investigated histone modifications are mainly found downstream of transcription start sites, and correlated to transcriptional activity. These histone marks are frequently found for pairs of genes in a bidirectional conformation. Our results suggest that a TF can bind in the shared promoter of two genes and regulate both of them.From a medical perspective, the genes bound by the investigated TFs are candidates to be involved in metabolic disorders. Moreover, we have developed a new strategy to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that disrupt the binding of a TF (paper IV). We further demonstrated that SNPs can affect transcription in the immediate vicinity. Ultimately, our method may prove helpful to find disease-causing regulatory SNPs.

  • Identification of candidate regulatory SNPs by combination of transcription-factor-binding site prediction, SNP genotyping and haploChIP
  • 2009

    • Disease-associated SNPs detected in large-scale association studies are   frequently located in non-coding genomic regions, suggesting that they may be involved in transcriptional regulation. Here we describe a new strategy for detecting regulatory SNPs (rSNPs), by combining   computational and experimental approaches. Whole genome ChIP-chip data   for USF1 was analyzed using a novel motif finding algorithm called   BCRANK. 1754 binding sites were identified and 140 candidate rSNPs were   found in the predicted sites. For validating their regulatory function,   seven SNPs found to be heterozygous in at least one of four human cell   samples were investigated by ChIP and sequence analysis (haploChIP). In   four of five cases where the SNP was predicted to affect binding, USF1   was preferentially bound to the allele containing the consensus motif.   Allelic differences in binding for other proteins and histone marks   further reinforced the SNPs regulatory potential. Moreover, for one of   these SNPs, H3K36me3 and POLR2A levels at neighboring heterozygous SNPs   indicated effects on transcription. Our strategy, which is entirely   based on in vivo data for both the prediction and validation steps, can   identify individual binding sites at base pair resolution and predict   rSNPs. Overall, this approach can help to pinpoint the causative SNPs   in complex disorders where the associated haplotypes are located in regulatory regions. Availability: BCRANK is available from Bioconductor  (http://www.bioconductor.org).

  • Decoding the Structural Layer of Transcriptional Regulation : Computational Analyses of Chromatin and Chromosomal Aberrations
  • 2010
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Gene activity is regulated at two separate layers. Through structural and chemical properties of DNA – the primary layer of encoding – local signatures may enable, or disable, the binding of proteins or complexes of them with regulatory potential to the DNA. At a higher level – the structural layer of encoding – gene activity is regulated through the properties of higher order DNA structure, chromatin, and chromosome organization. Cells with abnormal chromosome compaction or organization, e.g. cancer cells, may thus have perturbed regulatory activities resulting in abnormal gene activity. Hence, there is a great need to decode the transcriptional regulation encoded in both layers to further our understanding of the factors that control activity and life of a cell and, ultimately, an organism. Modern genome-wide studies with those aims rely on data-intense experiments requiring sophisticated computational and statistical methods for data handling and analyses. This thesis describes recent advances of analyzing experimental data from quantitative biological studies to decipher the structural layer of encoding in human cells. Adopting an integrative approach when possible, combining multiple sources of data, allowed us to study the influences of chromatin (Papers I and II) and chromosomal aberrations (Paper IV) on transcription. Combining chromatin data with chromosomal aberration data allowed us to identify putative driver oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes in cancer (Paper IV). Bayesian approaches enabling the incorporation of background information in the models and the adaptability of such models to data have been very useful. Their usages yielded accurate and narrow detection of chromosomal breakpoints in cancer (Papers III and IV) and reliable positioning of nucleosomes and their dynamics during transcriptional regulation at functionally relevant regulatory elements (Paper II). Using massively parallel sequencing data, we explored the chromatin landscapes of human cells (Papers I and II) and concluded that there is a preferential and evolutionary conserved positioning at internal exons nearly unaffected by the transcriptional level. We also observed a strong association between certain histone modifications and the inclusion or exclusion of an exon in the mature gene transcript, suggesting a functional role in splicing.

  • Nucleosomes are well positioned in exons and carry characteristic histone modifications
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Genome Research. - : Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. - 1088-9051 .- 1549-5469. ; 19:10, s. 1732-1741

    • The genomes of higher organisms are packaged in nucleosomes with functional histone modifications. Until now, genome-wide nucleosome and histone modification studies have focused on transcription start sites (TSSs) where nucleosomes in RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) occupied genes are well positioned and have histone modifications that are characteristic of expression status. Using public data, we here show that there is a higher nucleosome-positioning signal in internal human exons and that this positioning is independent of expression. We observed a similarly strong nucleosome-positioning signal in internal exons of C. elegans. Among the 38 histone modifications analyzed in man, H3K36me3, H3K79me1, H2BK5me1, H3K27me1, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3 had evidently higher signal in internal exons than in the following introns and were clearly related to exon expression. These observations are suggestive of roles in splicing. Thus, exons are not only characterized by their coding capacity but also by their nucleosome organization, which seems evolutionary conserved since it is present in both primates and nematodes.

  • Analysis of subcellular location of bestrophin in transfected RPE cell lines
  • 2000
  • Ingår i: Gene Function and Disease. - 1438-7506 .- 1438-826X. ; 1:3-4, s. 128-133

    • Best macular dystrophy is an autosomal dominant disease leading to macular degeneration and subsequent impaired vision. The disease has juvenile onset and affects the retinal pigment epithelium and adjacent photoreceptors. There are histopathological similarities between Best macular dystrophy (BMD) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with accumulation of lipofuscin in the outer retina. Recently, we identified the gene VMD2 causing Best macular dystrophy. The VMD2 gene has unknown function and there are no similarities between the VMD2 product, called bestrophin, and other proteins with known function. In order to gain more knowledge about the function of bestrophin we investigated its subcellular localization. DNA constructs encoding the bestrophin protein fused to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) or a c-myc tag were transiently expressed in COS-7 cells or retinal pigment epithelium cells. The observed pattern of bestrophin fusion protein was spotted and mainly perinuclear, well corresponding to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which was also suggested when counterstaining with an ER probe. Probes for other organelles had a different localization pattern compared to bestrophin. In conclusion, the results indicate that bestrophin is located to the endoplasmic reticulum.

  • Enhanced accumulation of A2E in individuals homozygous or heterozygous for mutations in BEST1 (VMD2)
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Experimental Eye Research. - : Elsevier BV. - 0014-4835 .- 1096-0007. ; 85:1, s. 34-43

    • Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BMD) is an autosomal dominant inherited macular degenerative disease caused by mutations in the gene BEST1 (formerly VMD2). Prior reports indicate that BMD is characterized histopathologically by accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). However, this accumulation has not been quantified and the chemical composition of lipofuscin in BMD has not been examined. In this study we characterize the histopathology of a donor eye from a rare individual homozygous for a mutation (W93C) in BEST1. We find that this individual's disease was not any more severe than has been described for heterozygotes. We then used this tissue to quantify lipofuscin accumulation by enriching intracellular granules from RPE cells on sucrose gradients and counting the granules in each density fraction. Granules from the homozygous donor eye as well as a donor eye from an individual heterozygous for the mutation T6R were compared with age-matched control eyes. Interestingly, the least dense fraction, representing classical lipofuscin granules was either not present or significantly diminished in the BMD donor eyes and the autoflourescence associated with lipofuscin had shifted to denser fractions. However, a substantial enrichment for granules in fractions of higher density was also noted in the BMD samples. Inspection of granules from the homozygous donor eye by electron microscopy revealed a complex abnormal multilobular structure. Analysis of granules by HPLC indicated a 1.6- and fourfold overall increase in A2E in the BMD eyes versus age-matched control eyes, with a shift of A2E to more dense granules in the BMD donor eyes. Despite the increase in A2E and total intracellular granules, the RPE in the homozygous donor eyes was relatively well preserved. Based on these data we conclude that the clinical and histopathologic consequences to the homozygous donor were not any more severe than has been reported previously for individuals who are established or presumptive heterozygotes. We find that A2E is a component of the lipofuscin accumulated in BMD and that it is more abundant than in control eyes suggesting that the etiology of BMD is similar to Stargardt's disease and Stargardt-like macular dystrophy. Finally, the changes we observe in the granules suggest that the histopathology and eventual vision loss associated with BMD may be due to defects in the ability of the RPE to fully degrade phagocytosed photoreceptor outer segments.
