Description of tasks:

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a variety of clonal stem cell disorders characterized by bone marrow failure and an increased risk of transformation into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We recently discovered that combination therapy with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and an antidepressant (TCP, tranylcypromine) under laboratory conditions has a strong anti-leukemic effect. Both of these drugs are used for other medical conditions.

Using new genomic technologies, we plan to better understand the mechanism of action of ATRA/TCP, which will allow them to be used in the low-cost and non-cytotoxic treatment of patients with MDS and AML who desperately need more effective and safer therapies.
The doctoral student will carry out a doctoral project under the supervision of prof. Artur Zelent and dr Łukasz Szymański as part of the NCN OPUS21 project.

Research topic:

It is well established that epigenetic modifications are implicated in the regulation of gene expression. However, the associations between these modifications and complex phenotypes are poorly understood. The EU-funded BovReg project is interested to understand how epigenetic variation in cattle translates into commercially important phenotypes. The project brings together researchers from different parts of the world to generate functional genomics data related to robustness, health and biological efficiency in cattle. Prediction tools will provide the opportunity to select cattle populations, maintain animal welfare and support precision breeding for efficient cattle production.

Research topic:

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting roughly 6,1 million people worldwide and one of the leading causes of disability. Symptoms include slowness of movement, tremor, and rigidity as well as depression and cognitive decline. While treatment options exist, they lose effectiveness over time and produce a plethora of side effects

NFE2L1 gene encodes a factor responsible for a variety of cellular functions among others the clearance of badly formed and unnecessary proteins. However, we lack direct evidence of the NFE2L1 gene’s involvement in the development of Parkinson’s disease.

In this project, we wish to explore this possible involvement and investigate the responsible mechanism. We will deactivate the gene specifically in the dopamine secreting neurons and we will observe the effects on mice behavior. The appearance of Parkinson-related symptoms will confirm that NFE2L1’s dysfunction could be the cause of Parkinson’s disease.

We will also perform these types of analyses on an in vitro model of neuronal development. Cells will be specially treated to cause their differentiation into neurons. The cells in which we have deactivated NFE2L1 will be compared to intact cells in the number of produced neurons, their growth, and other parameters.

Description of tasks:

Task 1: Generating an NFE2L1 dopaminergic neuron-specific knock-out mice

Task 2: General observation of mice behaviour and health indicators. Testing for Parkinson’s disease-like phenotype – motor symptoms, Testing for Parkinson’s disease-like phenotype – nonmotor symptoms

Task 3: Histopathological examination and immunostainig (ubiqutinated protein and alpha synuclein)

Task 4: Performing dopaminergic neuron Cell Isolation and RNAseq

Task 5: Knock-out/down of NFE2L1 with CRISPR/Cas9/siRNA in P19 cells and neuronal differentiation assay as well as transcription network analysis

Responsibilities in the project:

Selected person will work on the above mentioned tasks under supervision of the PI and post-docs. The project contains international cooperative aspect. Once the tasks are finished he or she will prepare draft for publications. Additionally, before publishing the tasks, the selected Ph. D. student will participate in international conference(s).

Temat badawczy: Zjawiska genomiczne, proteomiczne i epigenomicznie w parenchymie zdrowych ćwiartek wymienia krów mlecznych sąsiadujących z ćwiartkami zakażonymi gronkowcami koagulazo-dodatnimi lub ujemnymi

Opis zadań:

Projekt dotyczy wpływu zakażenia tkanki wydzielniczej gruczołu sutkowego krów mlecznych (parenchymy) gronkowcami koagulazo-ujemnymi i –dodatnimi jednej/dwóch ćwiartek wymienia na poziom ekspresji genów, stopień metylacji wybranych genów i transkryptom ncRNA w tkance wydzielniczej i komórkach somatycznych w mleku w niezakażonej, sąsiadującej ćwiartce wymienia. Zakładamy, że patofizjologiczne procesy zachodzące w zakażonych tkankach wpływają na procesy fizjologiczne w niezakażonej ćwiartce wymienia (regulacja transkrypcji czy translacji) poprzez zjawiska epigenetyczne. Analiza poziomu metylacji wybranych genów oraz profil ekspresji niekodujących RNA (ncRNA) pozwoli zidentyfikować wpływ zakażeń bakteryjnych na regulacje epigenetyczne i zmiany w ekspresji genów układu immunologicznego (mRNA i białko). Materiał do badań będzie stanowić tkanka wydzielnicza wymienia otrzymane z osobnych ćwiartek wymienia – niezakażonych i zakażonych gronkowcami koagulazo-dodatnimi i ujemnymi. Grupę kontrolną będą stanowić próby pobrane z ćwiartek całych zdrowych wymion. Określony zostanie również związek poziomu metylacji poszczególnych genów i wzorów ekspresji mikroRNA z ekspresją genów na poziomie mRNA i białka. Niniejsze badania będą kontynuacją i uzupełnieniem wcześniej przeprowadzonych analiz profilu transkryptomicznego.

Discipline: animal science and fisheries

Research topic: the functional genomic studies of resveratrol, curcumin, and similar antioxidant phytochemicals

Description of tasks:

Resveratrol, curcumin, and related antioxidant phytochemicals with phenolic groups have preventive and therapeutic effects with respect to cancer. These effects can be studied using the ultra-modern tools of transcriptomics, as the phytochemicals induce global alterations in gene expression profiles. In particular, resveratrol and curcumin can induce transcription of genes related to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells cultured in vitro. Dr. Huminiecki — the principal investigator (PI) on the project — will start with a computational re-analysis of public transcriptomics datasets available for curcumin, resveratrol, and similar phytochemicals. Next, the PI and the PhD student will together conduct experiments to generate new transcriptomics datasets, from either normal or cancer cells treated with the phytochemicals. Our experiments and datasets will focus on dose escalation, time-courses, splicing, and alternative transcriptional start sites, as well as non-coding RNAs, which is a novel approach. We will also compare responses in p53 wild type versus p53-mutated cell lines to differentiate between different mechanisms of apoptosis. The studentship is funded by a grant from the prestigious Polish National Science Center —NCN, which guarantees a safe project, good education, and enjoyable working environment. (Moreover, the PhD position will be advertised and filled according to all professional rules, the standards of professional conduct, and legal regulations of the hosting Institute and NCN.)

Responsibilities in the project:

The PhD student will work and study in the area of functional genomics. In particular, the student will conduct experimental tasks associated with in vitro cell culture and transcriptomics. These will include routine tissue culture, the isolation of RNA, the set up of qPCR, as well as microarray and RNA-seq screens. The student will communicate with commercial providers of cells, reagents, and NGS services. The student will also undertake postgraduate coursework in statistics and bioinformatics, and go through routine safety introductions and PhD courses at the Institute. The student will acquire a set of skills that is transferable and highly sought after internationally: guaranteeing good career prospects after the completion of the course, either in academia or in industry.
