Xiap And Ciap1 Amplifications Induce Beclin 1-Dependent Autophagy Through Nfκb Activation., Fang Lin, Ghita Ghislat, Shouqing Luo, Maurizio Renna, Farah Siddiqi, David C. Rubinsztein May 2015

Xiap And Ciap1 Amplifications Induce Beclin 1-Dependent Autophagy Through Nfκb Activation., Fang Lin, Ghita Ghislat, Shouqing Luo, Maurizio Renna, Farah Siddiqi, David C. Rubinsztein

Peninsula Medical School

Perturbations in autophagy and apoptosis are associated with cancer development. XIAP and cIAP1 are two members of the inhibitors of apoptosis protein family whose expression is elevated in different cancers. Here we report that XIAP and cIAP1 induce autophagy by upregulating the transcription of Beclin 1, an essential autophagy gene. The E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of both proteins activates NFκB signalling, leading to the direct binding of p65 to the promoter of Beclin 1 and to its transcriptional activation. This mechanism may be relevant in cancer cells, since we found increased levels of autophagy in different B-cell lymphoma-derived cell lines …

In global consequences of rapidly changing climate and increased amphibian population decline, mapping amphibian diversity in biodiversity hotspots is essential. In this study we have systematically studied anurans of Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary in terms of species diversity, population structure, threat status and distribution. We recorded a total of 22 anuran species, of which 11 species are endemic to Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. Family Dicroglossidae was found to be more species-rich. Spatial and temporal variation in anuran diversity was observed by using Shannon diversity and evenness indices. Most of the endemic and threatened anuran species are found to be associated with …

Keeping Patients With Epilepsy Safe: A Surmountable Challenge?, Rohit Shankar, Craig Newman, Jane Hanna, Juliet Ashton, Caryn Jory, Brendan Mclean, Tamsyn Anderson, Matthew Walker, David Cox, Liz Ewins

Peninsula Medical School

This quality improvement project was inspired as an answer to a problem that intellectual disability teams have been struggling to manage whilst caring for people with epilepsy (PWE). The issue was that despite guidance to discuss the possibility of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) be discussed with a newly diagnosed PWE this is rarely done. Additionally when, how, and what to discuss about SUDEP and reduce its risk is arbitrary, non-person centred, and with no structured evidence.Prior to initiating changes a discussion of SUDEP was recorded in just 10% of PWE. We introduced a check-list to help identify risk …

Physiological Advantages Of Dwarfing In Surviving Extinctions In High-Co2 Oceans, Vittorio Garilli, Riccardo Rodolfo-Metalpa, Danilo Scuderi, Lorenzo Brusca, Daniela Parrinello, Samuel P.S. Rastrick, Andy Foggo, Richard J. Twitchett, Jason M. Hall-Spencer, Marco Milazzo Apr 2015

Physiological Advantages Of Dwarfing In Surviving Extinctions In High-Co2 Oceans, Vittorio Garilli, Riccardo Rodolfo-Metalpa, Danilo Scuderi, Lorenzo Brusca, Daniela Parrinello, Samuel P.S. Rastrick, Andy Foggo, Richard J. Twitchett, Jason M. Hall-Spencer, Marco Milazzo

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Excessive CO2 in the present-day ocean–atmosphere system is causing ocean acidification, and is likely to cause a severe biodiversity decline in the future1, mirroring eff ects in many past mass extinctions2–4. Fossil records demonstrate that organisms surviving such events were often smaller than those before5,6, a phenomenon called the Lilliput eff ect7. Here, we show that two gastropod species adapted to acidified seawater at shallow-water CO2 seeps were smaller than those found in normal pH conditions and had higher mass-specific energy consumption but significantly lower whole-animal metabolic energy demand. These physiological changes allowed the animals to maintain calcification and to …

The Comparative Osmoregulatory Ability Of Two Water Beetle Genera Whose Species Span The Fresh-Hypersaline Gradient In Inland Waters (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae, Hydrophilidae)., Susana Pallarés, Paula Arribas, David T. Bilton, Andrés Millán, Josefa Velasco

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

A better knowledge of the physiological basis of salinity tolerance is essential to understanding the ecology and evolutionary history of organisms that have colonized inland saline waters. Coleoptera are amongst the most diverse macroinvertebrates in inland waters, including saline habitats; however, the osmoregulatory strategies they employ to deal with osmotic stress remain unexplored. Survival and haemolymph osmotic concentration at different salinities were examined in adults of eight aquatic beetle species which inhabit different parts of the fresh-hypersaline gradient. Studied species belong to two unrelated genera which have invaded saline waters independently from freshwater ancestors; Nebrioporus (Dytiscidae) and Enochrus (Hydrophilidae). Their …

Evaluation Of Ecosystem-Based Marine Management Strategies Based On Risk Assessment, Gj Piet, Rh Jongbloed, Am Knights, Je Tamis, Et Al Mar 2015

Evaluation Of Ecosystem-Based Marine Management Strategies Based On Risk Assessment, Gj Piet, Rh Jongbloed, Am Knights, Je Tamis, Et Al

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

This study presents a comprehensive and generic framework that provides a typology for the identification and selection of consistently defined ecosystem-based management measures and allows a coherent evaluation of these measures based on their performance to achieve policy objectives. The performance is expressed in terms of their reduction of risk of an adverse impact on the marine ecosystem. This typology consists of two interlinked aspects of a measure, i.e. the "Focus" and the "Type". The "Focus" is determined by the part of the impact chain (Driver-Pressure-State) the measure is supposed to mitigate or counteract. The "Type" represents the physical measure …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

The microbiome plays an important role in lipid metabolism but how the introduction of probiotic communities affects host lipid metabolism is poorly understood. Using a multidisciplinary approach we addressed this knowledge gap using the zebrafish model by coupling high-throughput sequencing with biochemical, molecular and morphological analysis to evaluate the changes in the intestine. Analysis of bacterial 16S libraries revealed that Lactobacillus rhamnosus was able to modulate the gut microbiome of zebrafish larvae, elevating the abundance of Firmicutes sequences and reducing the abundance of Actinobacteria. The gut microbiome changes modulated host lipid processing by inducing transcriptional down-regulation of genes involved in …

Hco3(-)-Independent Ph Regulation In Astrocytes In Situ Is Dominated By V-Atpase., Daniel Bloch Hansen, Nestor Garrido-Comas, Mike Salter, Robert Fern Mar 2015

Hco3(-)-Independent Ph Regulation In Astrocytes In Situ Is Dominated By V-Atpase., Daniel Bloch Hansen, Nestor Garrido-Comas, Mike Salter, Robert Fern

More Faculty of Health Research

The mechanisms of HCO3(-)-independent intracellular pH (pHi) regulation were examined in fibrous astrocytes within isolated neonatal rat optic nerve (RON) and in cultured cortical astrocytes. In agreement with previous studies, resting pHi in cultured astrocytes was 6.82 ± 0.06 and inhibition of the V-ATPase H(+) pump by Cl(-) removal or via the selective inhibitor bafilomycin had only a small effect upon resting pHi and recovery following an acid load. In contrast, resting pHi in RON astrocytes was 7.10 ± 0.04, significantly less acidic than that in cultured cells (p < 0.001), and responded to inhibition of V-ATPase with profound acidification to the 6.3-6.5 range. Fluorescent immuno-staining and immuno-gold labeling confirmed the presence V-ATPase in the cell membrane of RON astrocyte processes and somata. Using ammonia pulse recovery, pHi recovery in RON astrocyte was achieved largely via V-ATPase with sodium-proton exchange (NHE) playing a minor role. The findings indicate that astrocytes in a whole-mount preparation such as the optic nerve rely to a greater degree upon V-ATPase for HCO3(-)-independent pHi regulation than do cultured astrocytes, with important functional consequences for the regulation of pH in the CNS.

The dimensions and dynamics of subaqueous bedforms are well known for cohesionless sediments. However, the effect of physical cohesion imparted by cohesive clay within mixed sand-mud substrates has not been examined, despite its recognized influence on sediment stability. Here we present a series of controlled laboratory experiments to establish the influence of substrate clay content on subaqueous bedform dynamics within mixtures of sand and clay exposed to unidirectional flow. The results show that bedform dimensions and steepness decrease linearly with clay content, and comparison with existing predictors of bedform dimensions, established within cohesionless sediments, reveals significant over-prediction of bedform size …

Individual Quality And Personality: Bolder Males Are Less Fecund In The Hermit Crab Pagurus Bernhardus., Danielle Bridger, Simon J. Bonner, Mark Briffa Mar 2015

Individual Quality And Personality: Bolder Males Are Less Fecund In The Hermit Crab Pagurus Bernhardus., Danielle Bridger, Simon J. Bonner, Mark Briffa

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

One explanation for animal personality is that different behavioural types derive from different life-history strategies. Highly productive individuals, with high growth rates and high fecundity, are assumed to live life at a fast pace showing high levels of boldness and risk taking, compared with less productive individuals. Here, we investigate among-individual differences in mean boldness (the inverse of the latency to recover from a startling stimulus) and in the consistency of boldness, in male hermit crabs in relation to two aspects of life-history investment. We assessed aerobic scope by measuring the concentration of the respiratory pigment haemocyanin, and we assessed …

Combining Lapatinib And Pertuzumab To Overcome Lapatinib Resistance Due To Nrg1-Mediated Signalling In Her2-Amplified Breast Cancer, W-Y Leung, I Roxanis, H Sheldon, Fm Buffa, Et Al Mar 2015

Combining Lapatinib And Pertuzumab To Overcome Lapatinib Resistance Due To Nrg1-Mediated Signalling In Her2-Amplified Breast Cancer, W-Y Leung, I Roxanis, H Sheldon, Fm Buffa, Et Al

School of Biomedical Sciences

Acquired resistance to lapatinib, an inhibitor of EGFR and HER2 kinases, is common. We found that reactivation of EGFR, HER2 and HER3 occurred within 24 hours of lapatinib treatment after their initial dephosphorylation. This was associated with increased expression of NRG1 in cells treated with lapatinib. Exogenous NRG1 partially rescued breast cancer cells from growth inhibition by lapatinib. In addition, both parental and lapatinib-resistant breast cancer cells were sensitive to SGP1, which inhibits binding of NRG1 and other HER3 ligands. Addition of pertuzumab to lapatinib further inhibited NRG1-induced signalling, which was not fully inhibited by either drug alone. In animal …

Posture Affects How Robots And Infants Map Words To Objects, Af Morse, Vl Benitez, T Belpaeme, A Cangelosi, Lb Smith Mar 2015

Posture Affects How Robots And Infants Map Words To Objects, Af Morse, Vl Benitez, T Belpaeme, A Cangelosi, Lb Smith

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

For infants, the first problem in learning a word is to map the word to its referent; a second problem is to remember that mapping when the word and/or referent are again encountered. Recent infant studies suggest that spatial location plays a key role in how infants solve both problems. Here we provide a new theoretical model and new empirical evidence on how the body – and its momentary posture – may be central to these processes. The present study uses a name-object mapping task in which names are either encountered in the absence of their target (experiments 1–3, 6 …
