A Murine Model For Developmental Dysplasia Of The Hip: Ablation Of Cx3cr1 Affects Acetabular Morphology And Gait., George J. Feldman, Arlene Offemaria, Hind Sawan, Javad Parvizi, Theresa A. Freeman

Rothman Institute Papers

BACKGROUND: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a debilitating condition whose distinguishing signs include incomplete formation of the acetabulum leading to dislocation of the femur, accelerated wear of the articular cartilage and joint laxity resulting in osteoarthritis. It is a complex disorder having environmental and genetic causes. Existing techniques fail to detect milder forms of DDH in newborns leading to hip osteoarthritis in young adults. A sensitive, specific and cost effective test would allow identification of newborns that could be non-invasively corrected by the use of a Pavlik harness. Previously, we identified a 2.5 MB candidate region on human …

Integrating Item Accuracy And Reaction Time To Improve The Measurement Of Inhibitory Control Abilities In Early Childhood, Brooke E. Magnus, Michael T. Willoughby, Clancy B. Blair, Laura J. Kuhn

Psychology Faculty Research and Publications

Efforts to improve children’s executive function are often hampered by the lack of measures that are optimized for use during the transition from preschool to elementary school. Whereas preschool-based measures often emphasize response accuracy, elementary school-based measures emphasize reaction time (RT)—especially for measures inhibitory control (IC) tasks that typically have a speeded component. The primary objective of this study was to test in a preschool-aged sample whether the joint use of item-level accuracy and RT data resulted in improved scoring for three IC tasks relative to scores derived from accuracy data alone. Generally, the joint use of item-level accuracy and …

Estimating Memory Deterioration Rates Following Neurodegeneration And Traumatic Brain Injuries In A Hopfield Network Model, Melanie Weber, Pedro D. Maia, J. Nathan Kutz

Mathematics Faculty Publications - Archive

Neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are among the main causes of cognitive dysfunction in humans. At a neuronal network level, they both extensively exhibit focal axonal swellings (FAS), which in turn, compromise the information encoded in spike trains and lead to potentially severe functional deficits. There are currently no satisfactory quantitative predictors of decline in memory-encoding neuronal networks based on the impact and statistics of FAS. Some of the challenges of this translational approach include our inability to access small scale injuries with non-invasive methods, the overall complexity of neuronal pathologies, and our limited knowledge of how networks …

A Role For The Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator In The Nitric Oxide-Dependent Release Of Cl – From Acidic Organelles In Amacrine Cells, Vijai Krishnan, J. Wesley Maddox, Tyler Rodriguez, Evanna Gleason

Faculty Publications

© 2017 the American Physiological Society. γ-Amino butyric acid (GABA) and glycine typically mediate synaptic inhibition because their ligandgated ion channels support the influx of Cl – . However, the electrochemical gradient for Cl – across the postsynaptic plasma membrane determines the voltage response of the postsynaptic cell. Typically, low cytosolic Cl – levels support inhibition, whereas higher levels of cytosolic Cl – can suppress inhibition or promote depolarization. We previously reported that nitric oxide (NO) releases Cl – from acidic organelles and transiently elevates cytosolic Cl – , making the response to GABA and glycine excitatory. In this study, …

Rhoa Gtpase Controls Yap-Mediated Ereg Signaling In Small Intestinal Stem Cell Maintenance, Ming Liu, Zheng Zhang, Leesa Sampson, Xuan Zhou, Kodandaramireddy Nalapareddy, Benjamin Feng, Shailaja Akunuru, Jaime Melendez, Ashley Kuenzi Davis, Feng Bi, Hartmut Geiger, Mei Xin, Yi Zheng

Peer Reviewed Articles

RHOA, a founding member of the Rho GTPase family, is critical for actomyosin dynamics, polarity, and morphogenesis in response to developmental cues, mechanical stress, and inflammation. In murine small intestinal epithelium, inducible RHOA deletion causes a loss of epithelial polarity, with disrupted villi and crypt organization. In the intestinal crypts, RHOA deficiency results in reduced cell proliferation, increased apoptosis, and a loss of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that mimic effects of radiation damage. Mechanistically, RHOA loss reduces YAP signaling of the Hippo pathway and affects YAP effector epiregulin (EREG) expression in the crypts. Expression of an active YAP (S112A) mutant …

Tumor Suppressor Pdcd4 Attenuates Sin1 Translation To Inhibit Invasion In Colon Carcinoma, Qing Wang, Jiang Zhu, Ya-Wen Wang, Yong Dai, Yanlei Wang, Chi Wang, Jinpeng Liu, Alyson Baker, Nancy H. Colburn, Hsin-Sheng Yang

Toxicology and Cancer Biology Faculty Publications

Programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4), a tumor invasion suppressor, is frequently downregulated in colorectal cancer and other cancers. In this study, we find that loss of Pdcd4 increases the activity of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) and thereby upregulates Snail expression. Examining the components of mTORC2 showed that Pdcd4 knockdown increased the protein but not mRNA level of stress-activated-protein kinase interacting protein 1 (Sin1), which resulted from enhanced Sin1 translation. To understand how Pdcd4 regulates Sin1 translation, the SIN1 5′ untranslated region (5′UTR) was fused with luciferase reporter and named as 5′Sin1-Luc. Pdcd4 knockdown/knockout significantly increased the translation …

The Role Of Histone H2a.Z Abundance In Modulating Responses To Phosphorus Deficiency In Rice, Sara Zahraeifard

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Histone variants contribute to chromatin complexity by creating specialized nucleosomes. Here, to investigate the pattern of H2A.Z histone variant distribution and its role in modulating gene expression in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we performed genome-wide profiling of ARP6-dependent H2A.Z deposition in rice seedlings. We demonstrated that under controlled conditions, the majority of H2A.Z deposition is within protein-coding genes (PCG), and the most highly expressed genes are enriched with H2A.Z at their 5’ ends near the transcription start site (TSS), whereas the medium- to low-expressed genes contain H2A.Z across the entire gene. Based on H2A.Z deposition, we categorized genes into …

Biased Genetic Screen Identifies Novel Genes Involved In Antiviral Defense, Tianyun Long

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

ABSTRACT

RNA interference (RNAi) mediates potent antiviral response across kingdoms. In Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, antiviral RNAi requires a virus sensor that is conserved in mammals and is amplified by secondary small interfering RNAs that are produced in a Dicer-independent manner.

To better understand worm antiviral RNAi, I carried out a biased genetic screen, aiming to identify novel antiviral RNAi genes. To speed up the gene discovery process, the reporter worms used for this genetic screen were engineered to contain extra copies of 4 known antiviral RNAi genes. Therefore, genetic alleles derived from these 4 genes will be automatically rejected during …

Effect Of Hot Water Conditioning On Microbial Safety And Quality Of In-Shell Pecans, Karuna Kharel

LSU Master's Theses

Hot water conditioning of in-shell pecans is one common practice followed by industries to facilitate shelling. It also acts as a preventive control for potential microbiological contamination that might occur during pre- and post-harvest processes. However, heat treatment may have an effect on the eating quality of nuts. The main objectives of the study were to develop a post-harvest hot water treatment intervention as a kill step to destroy foodborne pathogens on in-shell pecans and evaluate the effect of treatments on physicochemical properties, consumer acceptance and purchase intent of dehulled and roasted pecans. The time (1-5 min) and temperature (70, …

Using interaction design to create conversation to help create a personalized learning environment in and out of elementary classrooms for achieving students’ academic and mental success from a three-way communication between teachers, students, and parents

Many elementary school teachers encounter problems interacting with each student individually. Also, many parents are losing chances to track their child’s development and achievement closely in both physical and mental perspectives because of their busy schedules. There are several web and mobile applications to assist with these issues, but most of those are too focused on grading students’ positive and negative behavior and two-way communication …
