Abstract

Reconstruction of biological networks for topological analyses helps in correlation identification between various types of biomarkers. These networks have been vital components of System Biology in present era. Genes are the basic physical and structural unit of heredity. Genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. Alterations in the normal sequence of these genes are the root cause of various diseases and cancer is the prominent example disease caused by gene alteration or mutation. These slight alterations can be detected by microarray analysis. The high throughput data obtained by microarray experiments aid scientists in reconstructing cancer specific gene regulatory networks. The purpose of experiment performed is to find out the overlapping of the gene expression profiles of breast and lung cancer data, so that the common hub genes can be sifted and utilized as drug targets which could be used for the treatment of diseased conditions. In this study, first the differentially expressed genes have been identified (lung cancer and breast cancer), followed by a filtration approach and most significant genes are chosen using paired t-test and gene regulatory network construction. The obtained result has been checked and validated with the available databases and literature.

Stochastic and Heritable Responses in Cell-Size Regulation and Survival to pH Stress in C. glutamicum

Bacterial survival in fluctuating environments depends on the ability of individual cells to maintain physiological homeostasis under stress, yet how single cells recover from transient pH fluctuations remains poorly understood. We tracked the cell-size dynamics and survival of Corynebacterium glutamicum cells exposed to short, strong acid (pH 4, 20 min) or alkaline (pH 11, 15 min) pulses. Acid stress considerably increases the size added during the stress cycle, whereas alkaline stress increases it only modestly. Nevertheless, surviving cells maintain their division strategy and restore size homeostasis in the next cycle. Coordination between relatives is short-lived: sister cells have similar cell-cycle durations after stress, but durations become uncorrelated once the last division shared by two cells precedes the stress by more than about 1.5 generations. Survival of acid stress favors larger cells and is largely stochastic, with no detectable lineage heritability. In contrast, survival of alkaline stress favors smaller cells and is transiently heritable: co-survival probability remains high among relatives separated by up to two generations. These findings provide insight into pH survival in C. glutamicum and present statistical methods to study cell-size regulation and survival under transient, severe environmental fluctuations.

Enzyme-Constrained Metabolic Modeling Reveals CO2-Dependent Growth Control in Picochlorum celeri

Picochlorum celeri grows 11.6 times faster at elevated CO2 than in air, yet the abundance of its metabolic enzymes is only 17% higher. To explain this, we reconstructed iPiccel954, a genome-scale metabolic model with 3525 reactions, 2973 metabolites and 954 genes, and eciPiccel954, its enzyme-constrained version limited by the measured enzyme abundance in air and at elevated CO2. Calibrating the enzyme-constrained models against the measured proteome showed that a similar protein budget supports very different growth depending on how it is allocated. With urea as the nitrogen source, urea carboxylase was the only step whose relaxation alone raised growth, by 627% in air and 78% at elevated CO2. Bottleneck analysis showed that growth is limited by many enzymes spread across the network in both conditions, that the limiting enzymes differ between the two, and that control over starch metabolism seen in air disappears at elevated CO2. Measured proteomes agreed with these predictions, since the predicted bottleneck enzymes were more abundant than other enzymes. Rapid growth in P. celeri therefore reflects how the protein budget is allocated more than how large it is. Therefore, eciPiccel954 provides a quantitative basis for engineering this alga for biotechnological application.

Organelle Aging Predicts Human Disease

Aging affects cellular organelles differently, but whether subcellular aging predicts human disease remains unknown. Here, we integrated organelle-enriched proteins in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid proteomes from 61,931 individuals to model aging of 10 organelles across the human lifespan. Organelle aging was heterogeneous with lysosomes, plasma membranes, and Golgi compartments accelerating rapidly after age 60. Individuals with four or more prematurely aged compartments exhibited up to 22-fold higher kidney disease risk and up to 8-fold higher mortality risk. Major diseases are characterized by distinct organelle aging signatures and disease risk increased with the number of accelerated organelles. APOE-{varepsilon}4 dosage was associated with lysosomal and mitochondrial aging and reduced PDP1 levels, implicating altered energy metabolism. Decomposition of organelle signature coefficients into biological programs further showed that diseases are associated with distinct subcellular patterns. These findings establish organelle-resolved aging as a measurable dimension of human biology, revealing subcellular mechanisms underlying disease susceptibility and resilience.
