WormMine: Gene WBGene00004249

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00004249
• Gene Name: pvf-1
• Sequence Name: Y39A3CL.6
• Brief Description: pvf-1 encodes a protein related to the VEGF family of growth factors; in C. elegans, PVF-1 functions in the male tail to regulate the position of the ray 1 sensillum via inhibition of UNC-40/DCC netrin signaling through the CED-10 GTPase; PVF-1 can bind the human VEGF receptors VEGFR1 (FLT) and VEGFR2 (KDR) and when expressed in chick embryos and human umbilical vein endothelial cells induces angiogenesis and capillary tube formation, respectively; a pvf-1 reporter fusion is expressed in dorsal and ventral body wall muscles, beginning at the first larval (L1) stage, with highest levels seen at the L3 stage and then slowly diminished levels in the adult.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of netrin-activated signaling pathway and nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Expressed in body wall musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; central nervous system cancer (multiple); diabetic retinopathy (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human PDGFA (platelet derived growth factor subunit A) and PDGFB (platelet derived growth factor subunit B).

	Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression glp-1(e2141); TU3401 animals comparing to in TU3401 animals.	Fold change > 2, FDR < 0.01.	WBPaper00065993:glp-1(e2141)_upregulated
	Genes that were upregulated in lin-15B(n744).	For each gene in each microarray hybridization experiment, the ratio of RNA levels from the two samples was transformed into a log2 value and the mean log2 ratio was calculated. The log2 ratios were normalized by print-tip Loess normalization (Dudoit and Yang, 2002). All genes with a false discovery rate of <= 5% (q <= 0.05) (Storey and Tibshirani, 2003) and a mean fold-change ratio of >= 1.5 were selected for further analysis.

	Transcripts expressed in GABAergic neuron, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Punc-47-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging.	Cufflinks FPKM value >=1.	WBPaper00050990:GABAergic-neuron_expressed
	Maternal class (M): genes that are called present in at least one of the three PC6 replicates.	A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA. For each gene, regressed error estimates were substituted for observed error estimates. The substitution is justified by the lack of consistency among the most and least variable genes at each time point. Regressed error estimates were abundance-dependent pooled error estimates that represented a median error estimate from a window of genes of similar abundance to the gene of interest. A randomization test was used to compute the probability Pg of the observed F statistic for gene g under the null hypothesis that developmental time had no effect on expression. P-values were not corrected for multiple testing.	[cgc5767]:expression_class_M

	Strictly maternal class (SM): genes that are the subset of maternal genes that are not also classified as embryonic.	A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA. For each gene, regressed error estimates were substituted for observed error estimates. The substitution is justified by the lack of consistency among the most and least variable genes at each time point. Regressed error estimates were abundance-dependent pooled error estimates that represented a median error estimate from a window of genes of similar abundance to the gene of interest.

	Genes with increased RNA expression after 24 hours rotenone treatment	EdgeR provides statistical routines for determining differential expression in digital gene expression data using a model based on the negative binomial distribution. The resulting p-values were adjusted using the Benjamini and Hochbergs approach for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). Transcripts with an adjusted p-value smaller 0.05 were assigned as differentially expressed.	WBPaper00044426:rotenone_24h_upregulated
	Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L3/L4 all cell reference).	A Mann-Whitney U test with an empirical background model and FDR correction for multiple testing was used to detect expressed transcripts (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995). Genes and TARs with an FDR <= 0.05 were reported as expressed above background. Authors detected differentially expressed transcripts using a method based on linear models. Genes and TARs were called differentially expressed if the FDR was <= 0.05 and the fold change (FC) >= 2.0. To more strictly correct for potential false-positives resulting from multiple sample comparisons, authors divided individual FDR estimates by the number of samplesor sample comparisons, respectively. This resulted in an adjusted FDR of 1.3 * 0.0001 for expression above background and of 7.4 * 0.0001 for differential expression. Authors called genes selectively enriched in a given tissue if they met the following requirements: (1) enriched expression in a given tissue (FDR <= 0.05 and FC >= 2.0), (2) fold change versus reference among the upper 40% of the positive FC range observed for this gene across all tissues, and (3) fold-change entropy among the lower 40% of the distribution observed for all genes.

• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr11249
• Pattern: A pvf-1p::cfp transcriptional reporter drives expression of cyan fluorescence protein (CFP) in dorsal and ventral body wall muscle bands, beginning in the first larval (L1) stage, peaking at the L3 stage and slowly diminishing in the adult. The pvf-1p::cfp fluorescence colocalises with the yellow fluorescence from a muscle specific myo-3p::yfp reporter gene. These results are supported by immunofluorescence data.
