    • The human genome sequence defines our inherent biological potential; the realization of the biology encoded therein requires knowledge of the function of each gene. Currently, our knowledge in this area is still limited. Several lines of investigation have been used to elucidate the structure and function of the genes in the human genome. Even so, gene prediction remains a difficult task, as the varieties of transcripts of a gene may vary to a great extent. We thus performed an exhaustive integrative characterization of 41,118 full-length cDNAs that capture the gene transcripts as complete functional cassettes, providing an unequivocal report of structural and functional diversity at the gene level. Our international collaboration has validated 21,037 human gene candidates by analysis of high-quality full-length cDNA clones through curation using unified criteria. This led to the identification of 5,155 new gene candidates. It also manifested the most reliable way to control the quality of the cDNA clones. We have developed a human gene database, called the H-Invitational Database (H-InvDB; http://www.h-invitational.jp/). It provides the following: integrative annotation of human genes, description of gene structures, details of novel alternative splicing isoforms, non-protein-coding RNAs, functional domains, subcellular localizations, metabolic pathways, predictions of protein three-dimensional structure, mapping of known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identification of polymorphic microsatellite repeats within human genes, and comparative results with mouse full-length cDNAs. The H-InvDB analysis has shown that up to 4% of the human genome sequence (National Center for Biotechnology Information build 34 assembly) may contain misassembled or missing regions. We found that 6.5% of the human gene candidates (1,377 loci) did not have a good protein-coding open reading frame, of which 296 loci are strong candidates for non-protein-coding RNA genes. In addition, among 72,027 uniquely mapped SNPs and insertions/deletions localized within human genes, 13,215 nonsynonymous SNPs, 315 nonsense SNPs, and 452 indels occurred in coding regions. Together with 25 polymorphic microsatellite repeats present in coding regions, they may alter protein structure, causing phenotypic effects or resulting in disease. The H-InvDB platform represents a substantial contribution to resources needed for the exploration of human biology and pathology.

  • A role of GM-CSF in the accumulation of neutrophils in the airways caused by IL-17 and TNF-alpha
  • 2003

    • The T-cell cytokine interleukin (IL)-17 selectively accumulates neutrophils in murine airways in vivo and may thus constitute a link between activation of T-lymphocytes and accumulation of neutrophils. In this study, the authors evaluated the role of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in accumulation of neutrophils in the airways caused by IL-17 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. In vitro, human (h) IL-17 concentration-dependently stimulated the release of GM-CSF protein (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE). IL-17 also time-dependently stimulated the release of GM-CSF protein in venous endothelial (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) cells in vitro. Co-stimulation with IL-17 plus the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha potentiated the release of GM-CSF protein in 16HBE cells. hIL-17 also enhanced the expression of GM-CSF messenger ribonucleic acid in 16HBE cells (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction), with a similar order of magnitude as TNF-alpha. Conditioned cell medium from bronchial epithelial cells co-stimulated with hIL-17 plus TNF-alpha prolonged survival (trypan blue exclusion) of human neutrophils in vitro and this effect was blocked by an anti-GM-CSF antibody. In vivo, local co-stimulation with mouse IL-17 plus TNF-alpha caused an additive potentiation of the accumulation of neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from mouse airways and this effect was blocked by an anti-GM-CSF antibody given systemically. In conclusion, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor is involved in the accumulation of neutrophils in the airways caused by interleukin-17 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha, probably via effects on both recruitment and survival of neutrophils.
