Spirit Christology: Lactantius and His Sources

Subjects: Religion
History

description: Lactantius conceives the preexistent Christ as the first-born spirit of God, a holy spirit from the supreme spirit of the Deity.’ Analogously the angels are spirits of God in so far as they too derive their origin from the Deity and share a spiritual nature. In this context the description ‘spirit of God’ would not constitute per se a divine title; it would rather signify a substantive being that participated in the spiritual nature of God, as opposed to a physical type of creaturehood. When Lactantius wishes to distinguish the Son who is God’s spirit from the angels who are similarly God’s spirits he always specifies the formulae; so he calls the Son either incorruptibilem spiritum or spiriturn, qui esset virtutibus patris dei praeditus.’ Such a precise specification is always required since the concept of ‘holy spirit’ can be equally applied to the Father, the Son or the angels. The clearest differentiation of the Sonspirit from the angel-spirits occurs in Lactantius’s adaptation of Tertullian’s Logos theology where the Son is defined as the only communicative spirit of
God, the Word, or vocal spirit, who fulfils the role of revelation.’

description: Using Keck laser guide star adaptive optics imaging, we have found that the T9 dwarf WISE J1217+1626 and T8 dwarf WISE J1711+3500 are exceptional binaries, with unusually wide separations (~0.8 arcsec, 8-15 AU), large near-IR flux ratios (~2-3 mags), and small mass ratios (~0.5) compared to previously known field ultracool binaries. Keck/NIRSPEC H-band spectra give a spectral type of Y0 for WISE J1217+1626B, and photometric estimates suggest T9.5 for WISE J1711+3500B. The WISE J1217+1626AB system is very similar to the T9+Y0 binary CFBDSIR J1458+1013AB; these two systems are the coldest known substellar multiples, having secondary components of ~400 K and being planetary-mass binaries if their ages are

Space-time dynamics of runoff generation in a snowmelt-dominated montane catchment
Creators: name: Smith, Russell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Runoff source area dynamics are controlled by the interaction of processes influencing the dynamics of water inputs at the soil surface and processes influencing vertical versus lateral flux partitioning at or below the soil surface coupled with variability in connectivity between runoff generating areas. These issues are investigated for the snowmelt-dominated Cotton Creek Experimental Watershed in southeast British Columbia, Canada. First, the controls on midwinter snowmelt are investigated. Accumulated snowmelt during the midwinter period of 2007 with nearly continuous subzero air temperatures comprised between 3% and 27% of the total snowfall. This, and other circumstantial evidence, supports the hypothesis that soil heat flux generated the midwinter snowmelt. Early-winter soil hydrothermal conditions and midwinter meteorological conditions are important controls on the midwinter melt dynamics. Second, the influences of soil hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and water input dynamics on the formation of transient perched shallow groundwater via percolation-excess processes are investigated. The results suggest that the initiation depth and maximum water table level vary according to and can be predicted by an interplay between the Ks profile and the maximum water input intensity during an event. At sites where Ks does not decrease gradually with depth, water input intensity does not appear to influence the depth of groundwater initiation. Last, seasonal variation in the spatial controls on the occurrence, timing, and persistence of shallow groundwater response are examined. The Ks of the soil at 75 cm depth is a first-order control on the distribution of sites that generate shallow groundwater response versus sites that experience only deep percolation. Upslope contributing area and slope gradient are first-order controls on the persistence of shallow groundwater response during peak flow, recession flow, and low flow periods, and runoff source areas expand and contract throughout these periods according to an interplay between catchment wetness and the spatial patterns of topographic convergence. However, controls on the space-time distribution and rates of snowmelt, and controls on vertical versus lateral flux partitioning in the soil overwhelm the importance of topographic convergence during early spring freshet periods.
The myth of the cosmic egg in indic and orphic traditions and its reception in the latin west
Creators: name: Chatterjee, Ratna
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2011

description: Bibliography: p. 171-184
description: This thesis aims to examine the myth of the Cosmic Egg in the writings attributed to Orpheus and in the sacred texts of India. In both textual traditions the motif of the Cosmic Egg represents the primordial totality and the First Being that comes out of this Egg is sexually undifferentiated Divinity. Creation happens only through fragmentation. Greek texts on India in antiquity do not acknowledge the myth of the Cosmic Egg as a part of the Indian cosmogony. The myth of the Cosmic Egg was transmitted through Latin literature, especially the Clementine Recognitions, as an alternative cosmogony. In the twelfth century the motif of the Cosmic Egg appealed to the imaginations of Abelard, Hildegard of Bingen, and the poet Milo. They employ this motif in depicting the creation and nature of the Christian universe through their own mythopoeic imaginations. Yet, this important Egg-Cosmogony has not been studied in its textual complexities in a comparative manner.

description: Classical nonhomologous end joining (C-NHEJ) is a major mammalian DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway that is required for assembly of antigen receptor variable region gene segments by V(D)J recombination. Recombination activating gene endonuclease initiates V(D)J recombination by generating DSBs between two V(D)J coding gene segments and flanking recombination signal sequences (RS), with the two coding ends and two RS ends joined by C-NHEJ to form coding joins and signal joins, respectively. During C-NHEJ, recombination activating gene factor generates two coding ends as covalently sealed hairpins and RS ends as blunt 5′-phosphorylated DSBs. Opening and processing of coding end hairpins before joining by C-NHEJ requires the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs). However, C-NHEJ of RS ends, which do not require processing, occurs relatively normally in the absence of DNA-PKcs. The XRCC4-like factor (XLF) is a C-NHEJ component that is not required for C-NHEJ of chromosomal signal joins or coding joins because of functional redundancy with ataxia telangiectasia mutated kinase, a protein that also has some functional overlap with DNA-PKcs in this process. Here, we show that XLF has dramatic functional redundancy with DNA-PKcs in the V(D)J SJ joining process, which is nearly abrogated in their combined absence. Moreover, we show that XLF functionally overlaps with DNA-PKcs in normal mouse development, promotion of genomic stability in mouse fibroblasts, and in IgH class switch recombination in mature B cells. Our findings suggest that DNA-PKcs has fundamental roles in C-NHEJ processes beyond end processing that have been masked by functional overlaps with XLF.

Conscious and unconscious processes in cognitive control: a theoretical perspective and a novel empirical approach
Creators: name: Horga, Guillermo
name: Maia, Tiago Vaz
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Cognitive psychology

description: Controlled processing is often referred to as “voluntary” or “willful” and therefore assumed to depend entirely on conscious processes. Recent studies using subliminal-priming paradigms, however, have started to question this assumption. Specifically, these studies have shown that subliminally presented stimuli can induce adjustments in control. Such findings are not immediately reconcilable with the view that conscious and unconscious processes are separate, with each having its own neural substrates and modus operandi. We propose a different theoretical perspective that suggests that conscious and unconscious processes might be implemented by the same neural substrates and largely perform the same neural computations, with the distinction between the two arising mostly from the quality of representations (although not all brain regions may be capable of supporting conscious representations). Thus, stronger and more durable neuronal firing would give rise to conscious processes; weaker or less durable neuronal firing would remain below the threshold of consciousness but still be causally efficacious in affecting behavior. We show that this perspective naturally explains the findings that subliminally presented primes induce adjustments in cognitive control. We also highlight an important gap in this literature: whereas subliminal-priming paradigms demonstrate that an unconsciously presented prime is sufficient to induce adjustments in cognitive control, they are uninformative about what occurs under standard task conditions. In standard tasks, the stimuli themselves are consciously perceived; however, the extent to which the processes that lead to adjustments in control are conscious or unconscious remains unexplored. We propose a new paradigm suitable to investigate these issues and to test important predictions of our hypothesis that conscious and unconscious processes both engage the same control machinery, differing mostly in the quality of the representations.

description: A non-ideal MHD collapse calculation employing the axisymmetric thin-disk approximation is used to resolve cloud core collapse down to the scales of the second (stellar) core. Rotation and a magnetic braking torque are included in the model, and the partial ionization resulting in ambipolar diffusion and Ohmic dissipation is calculated from a detailed chemical network. We find that a centrifugal disk can indeed form in the earliest stage of star formation, due to a shut-off of magnetic braking caused by magnetic field diffusion in the first core region. Thus, there is no catastrophic magnetic braking in a model with realistic non-ideal MHD.

description: We study the geodesic motion of test particles in the space-time of two Abelian-Higgs strings interacting via their magnetic fields. These bound states of cosmic strings constitute a field theoretical realization of p-q-strings which are predicted by inflationary models rooted in String Theory, e.g. brane inflation. In contrast to previously studied models describing p-q-strings our model possesses a Bogomolnyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) limit. If cosmic strings exist it would be exciting to detect them by direct observation. We propose that this can be done by the observation of test particle motion in the space-time of these objects. In order to be able to make predictions we have to solve the field equations describing the configuration as well as the geodesic equation numerically. The geodesics can then be classified according to the test particle's energy, angular momentum and momentum along the string axis. We find that the interaction of two Abelian-Higgs strings can lead to the existence of bound orbits that would be absent without the interaction. We also discuss the minimal and maximal radius of orbits and comment on possible applications in the context of gravitational wave emission.

description: We present a strategy to examine the chromatin conformation of individual loci in specific cell types during Drosophila embryogenesis. Regulatory DNA is tagged with binding sites (lacO) for LacI, which is used to immunoprecipitate the tagged chromatin from specific cell types. We applied this approach to Distalless (Dll), a gene required for limb development in Drosophila. We show that the local chromatin conformation at Dll depends on the cell type: in cells that express Dll, the 5′ regulatory region is in close proximity to the Dll promoter. In Dll-nonexpressing cells this DNA is in a more extended configuration. In addition, transcriptional activators and repressors are bound to Dll regulatory DNA in a cell type-specific manner. The pattern of binding by GAGA factor and the variant histone H2Av suggest that they play a role in the regulation of Dll chromatin conformation in expressing and nonexpressing cell types, respectively.

description: We recently defined systematic modes of spatial and temporal variation in a 372-month record of streamflow using the principal components analysis (PCA). The unrotated and orthogonally rotated (varimax) components were previously calculated from a matrix of monthly streamflow records of 78 stations in Turkey for the period 1964-1994. As a result, the basic anomaly patterns by the unrotated components and the hydrologically homogeneous regions by the rotated components were successfully documented for Turkish streamflow data. As a complementary study, we herein intended to compare the two different sets of principal components (i.e., unrotated and rotated) to test their overall performance with regard to the following five criteria. First, we compared the two sets in terms of temporal variations in the monthly PC scores by plotting the time series of the first five components. A tendency to wet or dry season within the study period was noted for each component's plot. Second, we compared the first unrotated and rotated PCs of annual streamflow to the aggregate precipitation series (precipitation records of 96 stations with a period 1964-1994 were all averaged to obtain the aggregate series). Although correlation was a little better for the unrotated PC, their performance were almost the same. Third, we applied the same procedure as in the second case except for the aggregate streamflow series. The unrotated PC showed better harmony with the aggregate streamflow series than its counterpart. Fourth, we compared the first unrotated and rotated PCs of annual streamflow in terms of how well they are correlated with NAO index. Fifth, we compared the fifth unrotated and rotated PCs of annual streamflow in terms of how well they are correlated with SO index. The performance of the two types of PC for the last two comparisons seemed to be similar, but the unrotated resulted in enhanced relation with the atmospheric circulation indices.

The four dimensional effective action is shown to exactly reproduce the bosonic electric sector of gauged N = 4 supergravity. We present explicit expressions for the gaugings in terms of the twists, and analyze the associated string backgrounds. This framework provides a higher dimensional origin of the gaugings in terms of generalized fluxes.

Nietzsche’s Prefiguration of Postmodern American Philosophy

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1981
Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: In this paper, I will try to show the ways in which Nietzsche prefigures the crucial moves made recently in postmodern" American philosophy. I will confine my remarks to two of Nietzsche's texts: Twilight of the Idols and The Will To Power.   The postmodern American philosophers I will examine are W.V. Quine, Nelson Goodman, Wilfred Sellars, Thomas Kuhn and Richard Rorty. The three moves I shall portray are: the move toward anti-realism or conventionalism in ontology; the move toward the demythologization of the Myth of the Given or anti-foundationalism in epistemology; and the move toward the detranscendentalization of the subject or the dismissal of the mind as a sphere of inquiry. I then shall claim that Nietzsche believed such moves lead to a paralyzing nihilism and ironic skepticism unless they are supplemented with a new world view, a new "countermovement" to overcome such nihilism and skepticism. Lastly, I will suggest that postmodern American philosophy has not provided such a "countermovement," settling instead for either updated versions of scientism (Quine and Sellars), an aristocratic resurrection of pluralistic stylism (Goodman), a glib ideology of professionalism (Kuhn), or a nostalgic appeal to enlightened conversation (Rorty). Such weak candidates for a "countermovement" seem to indicate the extent to which postmodern American philosophy—similar to much of postmodern thought in the West—constitutes a dead, impotent rhetoric of a declining and decaying civilization.

description: A seven-channel far-infrared hydrogen cyanide (HCN) laser interferometer has been established aiming to provide the line integrated plasma density for the J-TEXT experimental scenarios. A continuous wave glow discharge HCN laser designed with a cavity length 3.4 m is used as the laser source with a wavelength of 337 μm and an output power up to 100 mW. The system is configured as a Mach-Zehnder type interferometer. Phase modulation is achieved by a rotating grating, with a modulation frequency of 10 kHz which corresponds to the temporal resolution of 0.1 ms. The beat signal is detected by TGS detector. The phase shift induced by the plasma is derived by the comparator with a phase sensitivity of 0.06 fringe. The experimental results measured by the J-TEXT interferometer are presented in details. In addition, the inversed electron density profile done by a conventional approach is also given. The kinematic viscosity of dimethyl silicone and vibration control is key issues for the system performance. The laser power stability under different kinematic viscosity of silicone oil is presented. A visible improvement of measured result on vibration reduction is shown in the paper.

description: Fredric Jameson is the most challenging American Marxist hermeneutical thinker on the present scene. His ingenious interpretations (prior to accessible translations) of major figures of the Frankfurt School, Russian formalism, French structuralism and poststructuralism as well as of Georg Lukàcs, Jean-Paul Sartre, Louis Althusser, Max Weber and Louis Marin are significant contributions to the intellectual history of twentieth century Marxist and European thought. Jameson's treatments of the development of the novel, the Surrealist movement, of Continental writers such as Honoré de Balzac, Marcel Proust, Alessandro Manzoni, and Robbe Grillet, and of American writers, including Ernest Hemingway, Kenneth Burke and Ursula LeGuin, constitute powerful political readings. Furthermore, his adamantly anti-philosophical form of Marxist hermeneutics puts forward an American Aufhebung of poststructuralism which merits close scrutiny.

description: A shock-accelerated particle flux \propto p^-s, where p is the particle momentum, follows from simple theoretical considerations of cosmic-ray acceleration at nonrelativistic shocks followed by rigidity-dependent escape into the Galactic halo. A flux of shock-accelerated cosmic-ray protons with s ~ 2.8 provides an adequate fit to the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray emission spectra of high-latitude and molecular cloud gas when uncertainties in nuclear production models are considered. A break in the spectrum of cosmic-ray protons claimed by Neronov, Semikoz, & Taylor (PRL, 108, 051105, 2012) when fitting the gamma-ray spectra of high-latitude molecular clouds is a consequence of using a cosmic-ray proton flux described by a power law in kinetic energy.

description: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is one of the most common congenital abnormalities. Children born with CDH suffer a number of co-morbidities, the most serious of which is respiratory insufficiency from a combination of alveolar hypoplasia and pulmonary vascular hypertension. All children born with CDH display some degree of pulmonary hypertension, the severity of which has been correlated with mortality. The molecular mechanisms responsible for the development of pulmonary hypertension in CDH remain poorly understood. Angiopoitein-1 (Ang-1), a central mediator in angiogenesis, participates in the vascular development of many tissues, including the lung. Although previous studies have demonstrated that Ang-1 might play an important role in the development of familial pulmonary hypertension, the role of Ang-1 in the development of the pulmonary hypertension associated with CDH is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to examine the role of the Ang-1 pathway in a murine model of CDH. Here, we report that Ang-1 appears important in normal murine lung development, and have established its tissue-level expression and localization patterns at key time-points. Additionally, our data from a nitrofen and bisdiamine-induced murine model of CDH suggests that altered expression patterns of Ang-1, its receptor Tie-2 and one of its transcription factors (epithelium-specific Ets transcription factor 1) might be responsible for development of the pulmonary vasculopathy seen in the setting of CDH.

description: We investigate the collapse and revival of first-order coherence in deep optical lattices when long-range interactions are turned on, and find that the first few revival peaks are strongly attenuated already for moderate values of the nearest-neighbor interaction coupling. It is shown that the conventionally employed Gutzwiller wavefunction, with only onsite-number dependence of the variational amplitudes, leads to incorrect predictions for the collapse and revival oscillations.

description: Стаття присвячена проблема адміністративно-правового забезпечення воєнного стану за законодавством України в контексті особливості реалізації органами влади своїх функцій. Встановлено, що воєнний стан є особливим правовим режимом функціонування держави та державних органів. Під час його запровадження виникає потреба перегляду основних функціональних напрямків діяльності органів державної влади та місцевого самоврядування з точки зору першочергового забезпечення потреб національної безпеки. Доведено, що головною особливістю адміністративно-правового забезпечення функціонування органів влади в умовах воєнного стану є їх спрямування на максимізацію задоволення безпекових потреб держави та орієнтація на військові цілі. Встановлено, що державна влада деконцентрується між політичним та військовим керівництвом. Останнє отримує можливість територіальної організації владно-управлінської діяльності виходячи із першочерговості власних потреб для захисту територіальної цілісності та суверенітету держави. Обґрунтовано, що саме в такий спосіб досягається максимальна концентрація зусиль держави на протидію агресору. Це досягається зокрема за рахунок створення тимчасових органів державної влади – військових адміністрацій, які беруть на себе всю повноту реалізації державного управління, а в деяких випадках і реалізацію місцевого самоврядування.  Сучасне українське законодавство в сфері адміністративно-правового забезпечення воєнного стану проходить випробування на ефективність в умовах агресії з боку рф. Виявлені недоліки є об'єктивними та демонструють неможливість всебічного моделювання проблем реалізації повноти державної влади на територіях, зокрема окупованих чи звільнених від окупації, а також територіях бойових дій.  Автором запропоновано напрямки удосконалення законодавства шляхом уточнення окремих процедурних аспектів реалізації державою своїх повноважень через відповідну систему органів влади. Зроблені висновки щодо утилітарності та ефективності запроваджуваної законодавством з питань воєнного стану моделі територіальної організації влади. Окремо робиться оцінка ефективності деконцентрації владних повноважень між органами військового та цивільного управління.

description: Risperidone non-compliance is often high due to undesirable side effects, whose development is in part genetically determined. Studies with genetic variants involved in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of risperidone have yielded inconsistent results. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the putative association of genetic markers with the occurrence of four frequently observed adverse events secondary to risperidone treatment: sleepiness, weight gain, extrapyramidal symptoms and sexual adverse events. A series of 111 schizophrenia inpatients were genotyped for genetic variants previously associated with or potentially involved in risperidone response. Presence of adverse events was the main variable and potential confounding factors were considered. Allele 16Gly of ADRB2 was significantly associated with a higher risk of sexual adverse events. There were other non-significant trends for DRD3 9Gly and SLC6A4 S alleles. Our results, although preliminary, provide new candidate variants of potential use in risperidone safety prediction.

description: HAYABUSA is the first spacecraft ever to land on and lift off from any celestial body other than the moon. The mission, which returned asteroid samples to the Earth while overcoming various technical hurdles, ended on June 13, 2010, with the planned atmospheric re-entry. In order to safely deliver the sample return capsule, the HAYABUSA spacecraft ended its 7-year journey in a brilliant "artificial fireball" over the Australian desert. Spectroscopic observation was carried out in the near-ultraviolet and visible wavelengths between 3000 and 7500 Åat 3 - 20 Åresolution. Approximately 100 atomic lines such as Fe I, Mg I, Na I, Al I, Cr I, Mn I, Ni I, Ti I, Li I, Zn I, O I, and N I were identified from the spacecraft. Exotic atoms such as Cu I, Mo I, Xe I and Hg I were also detected. A strong Li I line (6708 Å) at a height of ~55 km originated from the onboard Li-Ion batteries. The FeO molecule bands at a height of ~63 km were probably formed in the wake of the spacecraft. The effective excitation temperature as determined from the atomic lines varied from 4500 K to 6000 K. The observed number density of Fe I was about 10 times more abundant than Mg I after the spacecraft explosion. N2+(1-) bands from a shock layer and CN violet bands from the sample return capsule's ablating heat shield were dominant molecular bands in the near-ultraviolet region of 3000 - 4000 Å. OH(A-X) band was likely to exist around 3092 Å. A strong shock layer from the HAYABUSA spacecraft was rapidly formed at heights between 93 km and 83 km, which was confirmed by detection of N2+(1-) bands with a vibration temperature of ~13000 K. Gray-body temperature of the capsule at a height of ~42 km was estimated to be ~2437 K which is matched to a theoretical prediction. The final message of the HAYABUSA spacecraft and its sample return capsule are discussed through our spectroscopy.

description: Background: Loss to follow-up (LTF) after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation is common in HIV clinics. We examined the effect of availability of adherence support and active patient outreach services on patient attrition following ART initiation. Methods and Findings: This ecologic study examined clinic attrition rates (total attrition, LTF, and death) among 232,389 patients initiating ART at 349 clinics during 2004–2008 in 10 sub-Saharan African countries, and cohort attrition (proportion retained at 6 and 12 months after ART initiation) among a subset of patients with follow-up information (n = 83,389). Log-linear regression compared mean rates of attrition, LTF, and death between clinics with and without adherence support and outreach services. Cumulative attrition, LTF, and death rates were 14.2, 9.2, and 4.9 per 100 person-years on ART, respectively. In multivariate analyses, clinic availability of >2 adherence support services was marginally associated with lower attrition rates (RRadj = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.35–1.0). Clinics with availability of counseling services (RRadj = 0.62, 95%CI: 0.42–0.92), educational materials (RRadj = 0.73, 95%CI: 0.63–0.85), reminder tools (RRadj = 0.79, 95%CI: 0.64–0.97), and food rations (RRadj = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.58–0.90) had significantly lower attrition, with similar results observed for LTF. Outreach services were not significantly associated with attrition. In cohort analyses, attrition was significantly lower at clinics offering >2 adherence support services (RRadj,6m = 0.84, 95%CI: 0.73–0.96), dedicated pharmacy services (RRadj,6m = 0.78, 95%CI: 0.69–0.90), and active patient outreach (RRadj,6m = 0.85, 95%CI: 0.73–0.99). Availability of food rations was marginally associated with increased retention at 6 (RRadj,6m = 0.82, 95%CI: 0.64–1.05) but not 12 months (RRadj,12m = 0.98, 95%CI: 0.78–1.21). Conclusions: Availability of adherence support services, active patient outreach and food rations at HIV care clinics may improve retention following ART initiation.

Signaling pathways involved in enhanced NMDA receptor-dependent excitotoxicity in a mouse model of Huntington disease
Creators: name: Fan, Jing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease lacking effective treatment, characterized by involuntary movements, psychiatric disorders, and cognitive symptoms. Pathology shows prominent degeneration of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs) of the striatum and certain cortical layers (Vonsattel and DiFiglia, 1998). HD is caused by a dominant mutation in the HD gene that leads to >35 glutamine repeats (polyQ) near the N-terminus of the protein huntingtin (htt) (The Huntington’s Disease Collaborative Research Group, 1993). Increasing evidence suggests that the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor (NMDAR) plays a role in mediating death of MSNs observed in HD (Fan and Raymond, 2007). Previous results from our laboratory demonstrate that NMDAR-mediated current and toxicity are increased in MSNs from the Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC) transgenic mouse model expressing polyglutamine-expanded full-length human htt (Shehadeh et al., 2006; Zeron et al., 2002). However, the mechanism underlying altered function and enhanced toxicity of NMDAR in HD remains unknown. Previous studies have shown that membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs), such as postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) modulate NMDAR surface expression and excitotoxicity in rat hippocampal and cortical neurons (Aarts et al., 2002; Roche et al., 2001), and that htt interacts with PSD-95 in a polyglutamine dependent manner (Sun et al., 2001). Here, I tested the hypothesis that an altered association and/or regulation between PSD-95 and NMDARs in mutant htt-expressing cells contributes to increased susceptibility to excitotoxicity and investigated mechanism by which this occurs. Specifically, I investigated the association of PSD-95 with htt and the NMDAR GluN2 subunits; signaling downstream of activation of the NMDAR/PSD-95 complex; and NMDA-induced cell death. My results suggest that at the presymptomatic stage of HD, the enhanced interaction of PSD-95 with GluN2B, and its signaling through p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) but not neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activation, contributes to mutant htt-mediated sensitivity to NMDAR-dependent excitotoxicity in YAC128 striatal neurons. This work contributes to the understanding of both NMDAR-dependent neuronal death mechanisms in striatal neurons and early synaptic changes in HD pathogenesis, as well as providing potential drug candidates for future HD treatment.
