Abstract:
Cell growth and proliferation are processes in the cell that must be tightly regulated. Transcription of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal biogenesis are directly linked to cell growth and proliferation, since the ribosomal RNA encodes for the majority of transcription in a cell and ribosomal biogenesis influences directly the number of proteins that are synthesized. In the work presented in this thesis, we have investigated the ribosomal RNA genes, namely the ribosomal DNA genes and the 5S rRNA genes, and their transcriptional regulation.

While the phenotypic changes involved in the Barrett’s esophageal oncogenic "cascade" are now well established, the molecular profiling of this pathway remains defective. The understanding of the molecular dysregulations underlying the development and progression of cancer has recently been expanded by the characterization of new classes of noncoding RNA gene products, such as the microRNAs (or miRNAs) and the transcribed utraconserved regions (T-UCR). MiRNAs are "endogenous silencers" targeting a large number of genes, and working as tumor suppressors or tumor promoters depending on the ac

Eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed and frequently generate long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, most lncRNAs remain uncharacterized.

Deleting one of these lncRNA genes (ncRNA.1343) exhibited a clear phenotype: increased drug sensitivity.

Abstract:
Streptococcus pyogenes is a re-emerging pathogen that produces superficial and life threatening invasive diseases. One important virulence factor in S. pyogenes is hyaluronic acid capsule which has been shown to increase expression at sub-body temperatures in certain strains. This study showed that thermoregulation is common in invasive clinical isolates. Regulation was shown to occur independent of the CovRS two-component regulator in a post transcription manner and before protein level regulation. The endoribonuclease, CvfA, was also confirmed to be required for capsule thermoregulation.

Indeed, CCDC26 silencing in erythroleukemic K562 cells led to several gene expression changes. Upon further investigation of genes linked to erythropoiesis, we observed the upregulation of β-globin expression.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease of the small pulmonary arteries, characterised by pulmonary vascular remodelling due to excessive proliferation and resistance to apoptosis of pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). The increased pulmonary vascular resistance and elevated pulmonary artery pressures result in right heart failure and premature death. Germline mutations of the bone morphogenetic protein receptor-2 (bmpr2) gene, a receptor of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily, account for appr

Abstract:
The objective of the field of Synthetic Biology is to implement novel functionalities in a biological context or redesign existing biological systems. To achieve this, it employs tried and tested engineering principles, such as standardisation and the design-build-test cycle. A crucial part of this process is the convergence of modelling and experiment. The aim of this thesis is to improve the design principles employed by Synthetic Biology in the context of Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs). Small Ribonucleic Acids (sRNAs), in particular, are focussed on as a mechanism for post-transcriptional
