Predator Odor Stress On Stress And Metabolic Endocrine, Morgan Block, Katie Wilk

Student Scholars Day Posters

It is known that the brain and gut ‘talk’ to each other, which is important for both physical and mental health as shown by associations between metabolic syndrome and mental illness in humans. Neuropeptides found in both the brain and gut are active in this communication and may mediate links between stress, metabolism, and psychopathology. This study aims to determine whether single exposure to predator odor is able to produce long-term changes in the endocrine system as measured by plasma concentrations of the “stress hormone” corticosterone and “hunger hormone” ghrelin. Male and female mice were exposed to one hour of …

Quinpirole Mediates Aversive Effects Of Methamphetamine Via Dopamine D2 Receptors, Erin Reasoner

Student Scholars Day Posters

Innate avidity for methamphetamine (MA) use is influenced by sensitivity to its rewarding and aversive effects. MA induces these effects through release of the neurotransmitter dopamine, stimulating dopamine D2 receptors (D2R). The contribution of D2R to MA-induced motivational effects is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated motivational effects of D2R activation by using mice selectively bred for low MA drinking (MALDR) and high MA drinking (MAHDR). In a condition place preference (CPP) procedure, doses of 0.01, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/kg quinpirole, a D2R agonist, were paired with specific environmental cues; mice were later tested for cue preference. In both …

Early Cell-Cell Coupling Impairs Stem Cell Retention When Co-Cultured With Hypoxic Cardiomyocytes, Jack Tietema

Student Scholars Day Posters

Rationale: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) induce beneficial effects in the heart following hypoxia but loss of these cells would diminish their effect. We hypothesized that coupling between BM-MSC and cardiomyocytes (CM) through gap junctions (GJ) during hypoxia may play an important role in stem cell retention. Methods and Results: Both human and murine BM-MSC express connexin43 (Cx43), a critical protein in the formation of GJ. FACS analysis revealed that BM-MSC exhibited a significant reduction in apoptosis (3-5 fold; p

Testing The Ancestral Function Of Divergent Candida Albicans Virulence-Associated Proteins Via Expression In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Mutants, Curtis Mack

Student Scholars Day Posters

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen and a member of the normal human microbiota. It is closely related to the harmless fungus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Some genes associated with the virulent nature of C. albicans are similar to genes in S. cerevisiae. Three of these genes, PHO13, NRG1, and TUP1 are known to repress the change from yeast to filamentous growth in C. albicans, an important virulence trait. However, similar genes in S. cerevisiae are known to have functional differences. Our goal was to see if the ancestral function of these genes have drifted apart by examining …
