Many lists containing biological identifiers, such as gene lists, have been generated in various genomics projects. Identifying the overlap among gene lists can enable us to understand the similarities and differences between the data sets. Here, we present an interactome network-based web application platform named NetVenn for comparing and mining the relationships among gene lists. NetVenn contains interactome network data publically available for several species and supports a user upload of customized interactome network data. It has an efficient and interactive graphic tool that provides a Venn diagram view for comparing two to four lists in the context of an interactome network. NetVenn also provides a comprehensive annotation of genes in the gene lists by using enriched terms from multiple functional databases. In addition, it allows for mapping the gene expression data, providing information of transcription status of genes in the network. The power graph analysis tool is integrated in NetVenn for simplified visualization of gene relationships in the network. NetVenn is freely available at http://probes.pw.usda.gov/NetVenn or http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/NetVenn.

Epigenetic Modulation of Estrogen Receptor Signaling in Ovarian Cancer.
Int J Mol Sci
December 2024
Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Medical Center Regensburg, 93935 Regensburg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Ovarian cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in women, with both genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to its development and progression.
- Estrogen signaling plays a significant role in ovarian cancer, involving estrogen receptors and their regulation of genes related to cell growth and death, influenced by epigenetic changes like histone modifications and DNA methylation.
- This review summarizes current knowledge on these epigenetic mechanisms and explores the potential of epigenetic therapies as treatment options for ovarian cancer.
A Role of Inflammation in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disorders-In a Perspective of Treatment?
Int J Mol Sci
December 2024
Neuromuscular Unit, Mossakowski Medical Research Institute Polish Academy of Sciences, 02-106 Warsaw, Poland.
Despite the fact that there are published case reports and model work providing evidence of inflammation in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorders (CMTs), in clinical practice, CMT and inflammatory neuropathies are always classified as two separate groups of disorders. This sharp separation of chronic neuropathies into two groups has serious clinical implications. As a consequence, the patients harboring CMT mutations are practically excluded from pharmacological anti-inflammatory treatments.

Alzheimers Res Ther
January 2025
School of Medicine, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Epidemiological and genetic studies have elucidated associations between antihypertensive medication and Alzheimer's disease (AD), with the directionality of these associations varying upon the specific class of antihypertensive agents.
Methods: Genetic instruments for the expression of antihypertensive drug target genes were identified using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) in blood, which are associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP). Exposure was derived from existing eQTL data in blood from the eQTLGen consortium and in the brain from the PsychENCODE and subsequently replicated in GTEx V8 and BrainMeta V2.

January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.
This study investigated the relationship between gut microbiota and neuropsychiatric disorders (NPDs), specifically anxiety disorder (ANXD) and/or major depressive disorder (MDD), as defined by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-IV or V criteria. The study also examined the influence of medication use, particularly antidepressants and/or anxiolytics, classified through the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System, on the gut microbiota. Both 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (16S) and shallow shotgun sequencing (WGS) were performed on DNA extracted from 666 fecal samples from the Tulsa-1000 and Neurocomputational Mechanisms of Affiliation and Personality Study Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (NeuroMAP CoBRE) cohorts.

Childhood-onset mitochondrial disorders are rare genetic diseases that often manifest with neurological impairment due to altered mitochondrial structure or function. To date, pathogenic variants in 373 genes across the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes have been linked to mitochondrial disease, but the ensuing genetic and clinical complexity of these disorders poses considerable challenges to their diagnosis and management. Nevertheless, despite the current lack of curative treatment, recent advances in next generation sequencing and -omics technologies have laid the foundation for precision mitochondrial medicine through enhanced diagnostic accuracy and greater insight into pathomechanisms.
