Neutrophil Dynamics Affect Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Granuloma Outcomes And Dissemination, Caitlin Hult, Joshua T. Mattila, Hannah P. Gideon, Jennifer J. Linderman, Denise E. Kischner

Math Faculty Publications

Neutrophil infiltration into tuberculous granulomas is often associated with higher bacteria loads and severe disease but the basis for this relationship is not well understood. To better elucidate the connection between neutrophils and pathology in primate systems, we paired data from experimental studies with our next generation computational model GranSim to identify neutrophil-related factors, including neutrophil recruitment, lifespan, and intracellular bacteria numbers, that drive granuloma-level outcomes. We predict mechanisms underlying spatial organization of neutrophils within granulomas and identify how neutrophils contribute to granuloma dissemination. We also performed virtual deletion and depletion of neutrophils within granulomas and found that neutrophils play …

“Yellow Perils,” Revived: Exploring Racialized Asian/American Affect And Materiality Through Hate Discourse Over The Covid-19 Pandemic, Keisuke Kimura Oct 2021

“Yellow Perils,” Revived: Exploring Racialized Asian/American Affect And Materiality Through Hate Discourse Over The Covid-19 Pandemic, Keisuke Kimura

Journal of Hate Studies

The goal of this essay is to explore what kind of hate is produced against Asian bodies in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic. By centering Asian/American affect and materiality – marginalized voices, narratives, and feelings of Asian/Americans as affective-performative texts, this essay attends to critique the historical continuum of racial discrimination against Asian/Americans (i.e., yellow peril) and advocate for social justice, equality, and inclusion in the U.S. Overall, I argue that Asian/American bodies are both physiologically and ideologically desensitized, dehumanized, and weaponized as the revival of yellow perils over the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, this essay highlights the possibility of adding …

Liver Proteome Response To Torpor In A Basoendothermic Mammal, Tenrec Ecaudatus, Provides Insights Into The Evolution Of Homeothermy, Jane I. Khudyakov, Michael D. Treat, Mikayla C. Shanafelt, Jared S. Deyarmin, Benjamin A. Neely, Frank Van Breukelen

Pacific Faculty Work

Many mammals use adaptive heterothermy (e.g., torpor, hibernation) to reduce metabolic demands of maintaining high body temperature (Tb). Torpor is typically characterized by coordinated declines in Tb and metabolic rate (MR) followed by active rewarming. Most hibernators experience periods of euthermy between bouts of torpor during which homeostatic processes are restored. In contrast, the common tenrec, a basoendothermic Afrotherian mammal, hibernates without interbout arousals and displays extreme flexibility in Tb and MR. We investigated the molecular basis of this plasticity in tenrecs by profiling the liver proteome of animals that were active or torpid with high and more stable Tb …

PCOM Scholarly Works

Insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding protein (IMP) 2 is one of the three homologues (IMP1-3) that belong to a conserved family of mRNA-binding proteins. Its alternative splice product is aberrantly expressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma, and it is therefore identified as HCC. Previous works have indicated that IMP1/ZBP1 (zipcode binding protein) is critical in axon guidance and regeneration by regulating localization and translation of specific mRNAs. However, the role of IMP2 in the nervous system is largely unknown. We used the synapsin promoter-driven adeno-associated viral (AAV) 9 constructs for transgene expression both in vitro and in vivo. These viral vectors …

Phds/Cpt1b/Vdac1 Axis Regulates Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation In Cardiomyocytes, Aude Angelini, Pradip K Saha, Antrix Jain, Sung Yun Jung, Randall L Mynatt, Xinchun Pi, Liang Xie Oct 2021

Phds/Cpt1b/Vdac1 Axis Regulates Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation In Cardiomyocytes, Aude Angelini, Pradip K Saha, Antrix Jain, Sung Yun Jung, Randall L Mynatt, Xinchun Pi, Liang Xie

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Cardiac metabolism is a high-oxygen-consuming process, showing a preference for long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) as the fuel source under physiological conditions. However, a metabolic switch (favoring glucose instead of LCFA) is commonly reported in ischemic or late-stage failing hearts. The mechanism regulating this metabolic switch remains poorly understood. Here, we report that loss of PHD2/3, the cellular oxygen sensors, blocks LCFA mitochondria uptake and β-oxidation in cardiomyocytes. In high-fat-fed mice, PHD2/3 deficiency improves glucose metabolism but exacerbates the cardiac defects. Mechanistically, we find that PHD2/3 bind to CPT1B, a key enzyme of mitochondrial LCFA uptake, promoting CPT1B-P295 hydroxylation. Further, we …

GPR21 is a constitutively active, orphan, G-protein-coupled receptor, with in vivo studies suggesting its involvement in the modulation of insulin sensitivity. However, its precise contribution is not fully understood. As the liver is both a major target of insulin signalling and critically involved in glucose metabolism, the aim of this study was to examine the role of GPR21 in the regulation of glucose uptake and production in human hepatocytes. In particular, HepG2 cells, which express GPR21, were adopted as cellular models. Compared with untreated cells, a significant increase in glucose uptake was measured in cells treated with siRNA to downregulate …


Sources Of Variation In Search And Foraging: A Theoretical Perspective, Alastair D. Smith, Lillo C De Oct 2021

Sources Of Variation In Search And Foraging: A Theoretical Perspective, Alastair D. Smith, Lillo C De

School of Psychology

Search—the problem of exploring a space of alternatives to identify target goals—is a fundamental behaviour for many species. Although its foundation lies in foraging, most studies of human search behaviour have been directed towards understanding the attentional mechanisms that underlie the efficient visual exploration of two-dimensional (2D) scenes. With this review, we aim to characterise how search behaviour can be explained across a wide range of contexts, environments, spatial scales, and populations, both typical and atypical. We first consider the generality of search processes across psychological domains. We then review studies of interspecies differences in search. Finally, we explore in …


Effect Of Burning And Management Alternatives On Forage Litter Composition Of A Native Pasture, I. Heringer, A. V. A. Jacques Oct 2021

Effect Of Burning And Management Alternatives On Forage Litter Composition Of A Native Pasture, I. Heringer, A. V. A. Jacques

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

The content and quantities of nutrients in forage and litter was evaluated in native pasture under grazing, submitted to burning and alternatives practices. The experimental design was a completely randomized, with three replications. The biennial burning has no effect in nutrients contents of the forage, but in the case of litter plus senescent material the concentration of Ca and Mg decreased as compared to the systems without burning. The sod-seeding treatment increased the nutrient contents in the alive and dead tissues. Nutrient accumulation on forage tissue and litter plus senescent material, was highest in the systems without burning.

Biology Faculty Research

While electron microscopy represents the gold standard for detection of synapses, a number of limitations prevent its broad applicability. A key method for detecting synapses is immunostaining for markers of pre- and post-synaptic proteins, which can infer a synapse based upon the apposition of the two markers. While immunostaining and imaging techniques have improved to allow for identification of synapses in tissue, analysis and identification of these appositions are not facile, and there has been a lack of tools to accurately identify these appositions. Here, we delineate a macro that uses open-source and freely available ImageJ or FIJI for analysis …
