Evidence supporting the role of hypertension in the onset of migraine.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The association between hypertension and migraine remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study employ multi-layered evidence chain that revealed the association between hypertension and migraine. METHODS: We first strictly included data from the NHANES 1999-2004 population and applied logistic regression, subgroup analysis and RCS to assess the correlation between hypertension, SBP, DBP and migraine. Meanwhile, LDSC and Mendelian randomization were conducted based on the GWAS to determine the causal relationship between hypertension and migraine. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) was used as the primary method. Sensitivity analysis and Colocalization analysis were performed to confirm the robustness of the results. LDSC validated the genetic correlation between traits. Enrichment analysis revealed their underlying biological mechanisms. RESULTS: After strict inclusion in NHANES, 10,743 participants were included. The logistic regression showed a significant correlation between hypertension (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;1.21 [95% CI, 1.08-1.36], FDR&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.001)&#x3001;DBP (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;1.01 [95% CI, 1.01-1.02], FDR&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.001) and migraine. This association did not show significant group differences in subgroup. The MR results further supported the existence of a significant causal relationship between hypertension (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;1.77 [95% CI, 1.43-2.30], FDR&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.001)&#x3001;DBP (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;1.02 [95% CI, 1.01-1.03], FDR&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.001) and migraine onset. Additionally, the RCS analysis showed a linear relationship (P non-linear&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.897) between the two. The LDSC result showed a significant genetic correlation between the two (Rg&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.1092, SE&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.028, P&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.001). CONCLUSION: The development of migraine caused by hypertension is mainly realized through high DBP.

Global Genomic Surveillance.

Global genomic surveillance has emerged as a foundational pillar of public health in the twenty-first century, enabling real-time tracking of pathogen evolution and informing outbreak response. This chapter examines the strategic architecture of global genomic surveillance, focusing on its application to arboviruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV). It explores the integration of genomic data with epidemiological, clinical, and environmental information within a One Health framework, while addressing critical challenges in governance, equity, and interoperability. The discussion covers the entire genomic surveillance workflow, from sample collection and sequencing to bioinformatic analysis and phylogenetic inference, and highlights the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in predictive surveillance. By analyzing global initiatives, operational barriers, and emerging technologies, this chapter underscores the necessity of sustainable, equitable, and interoperable genomic systems to proactively address current and future infectious disease threats.

Systematic Dissection of Key Driver Perturbation Signatures in Single Cells via ECCITE-seq.

CRISPR screens, such as expanded CRISPR-compatible cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (ECCITE-seq), enable the simultaneous measurement of transcriptomes, gRNA identity, and cell-surface protein expression at single-cell resolution to systematically interrogate gene function. This platform provides a powerful and scalable experimental approach for validating disease-associated regulators identified by large-scale association studies and other computational methods, including network-based analyses of multi-omics data. Here, as an example application, we describe an ECCITE-seq framework to characterize the transcriptomic consequences of perturbing multiple neuronal key driver genes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons. More broadly, by integrating customized pooled gRNA libraries with different CRISPR effectors across multiple cell types, this approach allows for the assessment of the regulatory impact of candidate genes implicated in development and disease processes.

Identification of Genome-Wide Chromatin Structural Aberration in Cancer by Hi-C Analysis.

Aberrant three-dimensional genome organization is a hallmark of cancer, often driving oncogene activation through mechanisms such as enhancer hijacking. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) maps these interactions on a genome-wide scale. Unlike earlier dilution-based methods, in situ Hi-C performs proximity ligation within intact nuclei, minimizing random ligation noise and enabling fine-scale structure detection. This chapter describes an optimized in situ Hi-C protocol tailored for cancer cell lines using MboI digestion and biotin-mediated pull-down to generate high-complexity libraries. We further outline a computational workflow that extends beyond standard topological mapping of compartments and topologically associating domains to identify cancer-specific aberrations. Specifically, we focus on detecting chromosomal rearrangements (structural variants) and characterizing the distinct circular topology of extrachromosomal DNA. This integrated experimental and analytical framework provides the necessary tools to dissect the spatial dysregulation underlying tumor evolution.
