  1. 1. Zebrafish models for large-scale genetic screens in dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis : Validation and application

    Författare :Manoj Kumar Bandaru; Marcel den Hoed; Anastasia Emmanouilidou; Ingelsson Erik; Shannon Fisher; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; zebrafish; dyslipidemia; atherosclerosis; genetic screens; high-cholesterol diet; APOE; APOB; LDLR; APOC2; PCSK9; LPAR2; GATAD2A; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Hundreds of loci have been robustly associated with circulating lipids, atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease; but for most loci the causal genes and mechanisms remain uncharacterized. The overall aim of my thesis is to develop and validate novel in vivo model systems that are suitable for high-throughput, image-based genetic screens in coronary artery disease and related traits, and use these model systems to systematically characterize positional candidate genes.

  3. 2. From GWAS to gene : Zebrafish as a model system for large-scale studies of obesity and comorbidities

    Författare :Eugenia Mazzaferro; Marcel den Hoed; Randall Peterson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; zebrafish; genetic screens; gene editing; CRISPR Cas9; obesity; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity increases the risk of developing comorbidities such as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, not all obese individuals develop comorbidities, and those that do not are referred to as “metabolically healthy obesity” individuals. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The elephant in the cell : A multifaceted undertaking to uncover the molecular principles behind lymphatic endothelial cell identity

    Författare :Virginia Panara; Katarzyna Koltowska; Taija Mäkinen; Marcel den Hoed; Sarah de Val; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lymphatic endothelium; Development; Epigenetic; Biologi med inriktning mot zoologisk utvecklingsbiologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Development;

    Sammanfattning : The lymphatic vascular network is composed of a series of blind ended vessels, and is involved in physiological functions such as fluid homeostasis, lipid metabolism and immune trafficking. Despite lymphatic endothelial cells being derived from multiple organs, they share common molecular denominators, including the expression of the transcription factor Prox1.

  5. 4. Translating Cardiac and Cardiometabolic GWAS Using Zebrafish

    Författare :Benedikt von der Heyde; Marcel den Hoed; Anastasia Emmanouilidou; Erik Ingelsson; Shawn Burgess; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GWAS; Zebrafish; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of loci associated with cardiac and cardiometabolic traits. However, the trait-associated variants usually do not clearly point to causal gene(s), mechanism(s) or tissue(s). Model systems that allow for a comprehensive and quick candidate gene screening are necessary, ideally in vivo. LÄS MER
