Actin Depolymerization Of Tenocytes Promotes A Tendinosis-Like Gene Expression, Kameron Inguito, Ba, Valerie West, Karl Matthew Ebron, Justin Parreno, Phd

Alpha Omega Alpha Research Symposium Posters

Optimal cellular mechanotransduction is essential for tendon matrix homeostasis. We recently developed an in vivo rat model of tendinosis, where the plantaris tendon are overloaded through ablation of the synergistic Achilles tendon. Using this model we determined that tissue overload disrupts matrix-cell interactions, which results in under-stimulation of tendon cells (tenocytes) (Fig.1)

Using an ex vivo model of tendon stress deprivation by maintaining tail tendon fascicles in floating culture we showed that tenocyte under-stimulation results in destabilization of filamentous (F-)actin (Fig.2). F-actin destabilization coincides with tendinosis-like gene expression: downregulation of tenogenic genes (Col1, Tnc, asma, Scx), upregulation of chondrogenic (Acan, …

Health And Lifestyle Behavioral Changes To Prevent Myocardial Infarction (Mi): Mixed Methods Approach To Understand Secondary Mi Prevention, Naila Saghir

Global Public Health | Student Research Posters

• Annually in the United States, 605,000 individuals experience their first MI & 200,000 experience their second.
• Lack of exercise, an unhealthy diet, and hypertension are some of the causing behavioral factors of a primary myocardial infarction but can also put the individual at risk for a secondary.
• The choice to adopt positive health and lifestyle behaviors lies on the individual.
