Gene interference screens are a widely adopted and popular tool for uncovering gene function but imperfections in the technology limit the power of these investigations. There are many completed and on-going RNAi investigations across a multitude of biological systems because these experiments are scalable, cost-effective, and relatively easily adapted to multiple experimental environments. The most influential disadvantage is that many of the individual reagents are non-specific and interfere with genes other than the intended target. Efforts to improve limitations in RNAi have focused on statistical models and improving reagents, yet have not explored using biological context to select gene targets. This thesis uses network modeling and data integration to provide context for gene interference studies, and demonstrates the utility of this approach in two systems: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a disease of undifferentiated B-cells that results from accumulation of genetic lesions, yet we have an incomplete understanding of all genes contributing to the disease and how they interact. To discover genetic mediators of this disease, we employ a genome-scale shRNA screen, and complement this data with differential mRNA expression and ChIP-seq data using network integration. The integrated model identifies processes not represented in any input set and predicts novel genes contributing to disease. We specifically validate the role of Wwpl as a tumor suppressor in ALL. Aberrant growth factor pathway activity drives cancer pathology and is the target of molecular cancer therapies. Specifically, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EFGR) pathway and its ligand, transforming growth factor alpha (TGF[alpha]) are clinically relevant to gastric cancer. We use an shRNA screen and Prize Collecting Steiner Forest (PCSF) algorithm to discover the pathway regulating TGF shedding. This pathway identifies common regulators of TGF[alpha] shedding and NF[chi]B regulation, yet targeting NF[chi]B and the EGFR pathway has thus far been unsuccessful in cancer therapies. Our network identifies IRAK1 as a viable path forward for modulating both TGF[alpha] and NF[chi]B in gastric cancer.

Full textIntroduction : L'altération de la fonction mitochondriale entraîne la dégénérescence de certains neurones chez les personnes atteintes de maladies neurodégénératives dont la maladie de Parkinson. Les cellules saines sont dotées d'un système de contrôle leur permettant de faire face et de réparer les dysfonctionnements des mitochondries et ainsi de préserver leur intégrité. Des études récentes ont révélé l'implication de deux gènes à l'origine de syndromes parkinsoniens autosomiques récessifs, Pink1 et Parkin, dans une voie de signalisation commune contrôlant le maintien de la fonction mitochondriale. Pink1 et Parkin interviennent ensemble dans l'isolation et la dégradation des mitochondries défectueuses. Cependant, à l'heure actuelle, les mécanismes moléculaires contrôlant ce processus restent à élucider. Méthodes : Le but de notre étude a été d'identifier de nouveaux régulateurs de la voie de signalisation Pink1/Parkin par crible génétique dans un modèle drosophile de la maladie de Parkinson. Pour cela, nous avons criblé une collection de lignées de drosophiles déficientes sur les chromosomes deux et trois pour leur capacité à modifier (augmenter ou diminuer) le phénotype de posture de l'aile caractéristique de la mutation de Pink1/Parkin. Résultats: Nous avons identifié plusieurs régions cytologiques qui interagissent fortement avec Parkin et/ou Pink1. Quatre de ces régions ont été disséquées de façon à révéler cinq gènes. Parmi eux, opa1 et drp1 avaient déjà été impliques dans la voie de signalisation Pink1/Parkin. Les trois autres gènes p60, β4galNacTA et debra représentent de nouveaux régulateurs de la fonction de Pink1 et Parkin. Conclusion/implications : D'une part, l'identification non biaisée de gènes déjà connus comme interagissant avec Pink1/Parkin démontre la validité de cette approche. D'autre part, la découverte de nouveaux gènes candidats de la voie Pink1/Parkin pour le maintien de l'intégrité mitochondriale permettra de mieux comprendre les mécanismes moléculaires contrôlant ce processus et aidera à l'élaboration de traitements.

Full textHedgehog (Hh) is a conserved secreted morphogen involved in an array of developmental processes. Using Drosophila as a model, during my thesis we aimed to ask how the secretion, extraction and transport of Hh protein are regulated at the site of its production. To understand the positive regulators of Hh secretion and transport we designed and performed a genome-wide RNAi screen in Drosophila to identify new regulators of Hh transport and identified the small GTPase Rab8 as a novel component required for Hh trafficking. According to our proposed model, there are two pools of secreted Hh. The apical pool is needed for long range target gene activation, and basolateral pool for short range target gene activation. It is not clear how Hh is sorted apico-basally in the producing cells. Interfering with Rab8 function in the Hh producing cells extends Hh short range targets. Conversely, it reduces the long range Hh targets, suggesting that interfering with Rab8 function in the Hh producing cells impairs Hh trafficking, thus hampering the fine tuning between the two secreted pools of Hh. Moreover, using live assays to track the dynamics of endogenous Hh internalization, we observed that loss of Rab8 in Hh producing cells does not affect its primary secretion, but causes defects in Hh endocytosis, subsequently affecting its gradient activity. We hypothesize a model where Hh is targeted for primary secretion to the apical side of the wing disc, which then is internalized, and this internalized Hh is then directed for recycling which is essential for its long range activity
