description: In flowering plants ovules develop as lateral organ from the placenta and, once fertilized, give rise to seeds. My Ph.D. was mainly focused on the identification of the mechanisms controlling ovule number and development in Arabidopsis thaliana. AINTEGUMENTA (ANT), CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON 1 (CUC1) and CUC2 are involved in ovule primordia initiation, since ant single and cuc1 cuc2 double mutant produce fewer ovule compared to wild type. Through the contemporary silencing of ANT, CUC1 and CUC2 we showed that these genes have additive roles in the determination of ovule number. Among all the developmental processes in which hormones are involved, their role in ovule primordia formation have been proposed for auxin and cytokinins. We show that CUC1 and CUC2 are required for correct auxin transport and that they, together with ANT are direct target of MP, a member of AUXIN RESPONSIVE FACTOR (ARF) family. Interestingly we saw that cytokinin treatments restore ovule number defects in our mutants increasing the expression of PINFORMED1 (PIN1), an auxin efflux carrier. Once the primordium is formed, the three MADS box transcription factors SEEDSTICK (STK), SHATTERPROOF1 (SHP1), and SHP2 redundantly regulate ovule development and, together with the SEPALLATA proteins determine ovule identity. I have contributed to the characterization of VERDANDI (VDD), the first direct target of the Arabidopsis ovule identity complex.

description: Using the coupled cluster method (CCM) we study the full (zero-temperature) ground-state (GS) phase diagram of a spin-half ($s=1/2$) $J_{1}$-$J_{2}$ Heisenberg model on a cross-striped square lattice. Each site of the square lattice has 4 nearest-neighbour exchange bonds of strength $J_{1}$ and 2 next-nearest-neighbour (diagonal) bonds of strength $J_{2}$. The $J_{2}$ bonds are arranged so that the basic square plaquettes in alternating columns have either both or no $J_{2}$ bonds included. The classical ($s \rightarrow \infty$) version of the model has 4 collinear phases when $J_{1}$ and $J_{2}$ can take either sign. Three phases are antiferromagnetic (AFM), showing so-called Néel, double Néel and double columnar striped order respectively, while the fourth is ferromagnetic. For the quantum $s=1/2$ model we use the 3 classical AFM phases as CCM reference states, on top of which the multispin-flip configurations arising from quantum fluctuations are incorporated in a systematic truncation hierarchy. Calculations of the corresponding GS energy, magnetic order parameter and the susceptibilities of the states to various forms of valence-bond crystalline (VBC) order are thus carried out numerically to high orders of approximation and then extrapolated to the (exact) physical limit. We find that the $s=1/2$ model has 5 phases, which correspond to the four classical phases plus a new quantum phase with plaquette VBC order. The positions of the 5 quantum critical points are determined with high accuracy. While all 4 phase transitions in the classical model are first order, we find strong evidence that 3 of the 5 quantum phase transitions in the $s=1/2$ model are of continuous deconfined type.

description: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is still a huge health problem, causing the death of over 1 million people per year. The search for HIV-entry inhibitors represents a promising challenge to prevent HIV infection. In this field, DC-SIGN, a carbohydrate-recognizing receptor expressed at the surface of the mucosal dendritic cells and involved in the early stages of HIV infection, is an important cellular target. The use of artificial molecules presenting multivalent carbohydrate moieties, able to interact with DC-SIGN with good affinity, should represent a therapeutic strategy in order to prevent HIV attachment to dendritic cells. Here we present a library of multivalent pseudo-glycodendrimers characterized by rigid molecular rods that rationally space active ligands, with the aim to exploit both the statistical rebinding and the chelating binding modes. Compounds were synthesised by varying the length of the rigid rod, the nature as well as the valency of the sugar moieties and the linkers flexibility. The optimal combination of active monovalent ligand, scaffold and valency led to a nanomolar inhibitor of DC-SIGN-mediated adhesion of HIV on cells. Compounds' biological performances were evaluated through Surface Plasmon Resonance Inhibition assays and trans-infection inhibition assays; the interaction between artificial compounds and DC-SIGN expressing cells was evaluated through confocal micoscopy, given the intrinsic fluorescence of the rods. Morphological behaviour of glycodendrimers was investigated using several analytical techniques, demonstrating that they are mainly monomers in solution, despite their amphiphilic structure. Finally, modifications of monovalent ligands were performed in order to improve compounds selectivity vs Langerin.

description: In this article, a proof of the interpolation inequality along geodesics in $p$-Wasserstein spaces is given. This interpolation inequality was the main ingredient to prove the Borel-Brascamp-Lieb inequality for general Riemannian and Finsler manifolds and led Lott-Villani and Sturm to define an abstract Ricci curvature condition. Following their ideas, a similar condition can be defined and for positively curved spaces one can prove a Poincaré inequality. Using Gigli's recently developed calculus on metric measure spaces, even a $q$-Laplacian comparison theorem holds on $q$-infinitesimal convex spaces. In the appendix, the theory of Orlicz-Wasserstein spaces is developed and necessary adjustments to prove the interpolation inequality along geodesics in those spaces are given.

TSPAN5 IS A KEY PLAYER IN DENDRITIC SPINES FORMATION AND AMPA RECEPTORS RECYCLING
Creators: name: MORETTO, EDOARDO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: TSPAN5 is a brain enriched protein member of the tetraspanin superfamily, a group of transmembrane proteins some of which have been shown to fundamentally regulate the development of mammalian nervous system. This class of proteins presents the peculiar ability to clusterize forming specialized membrane region called Tetraspanin Enriched Microdomains (TEMs) where they can accumulate other proteins. We found that in developing neurons TSPAN5 was mainly present at the surface membrane while it was concentrated in an intracellular compartment in the postsynapse of mature neurons. We hypothesized that these different localisations could be due to different functions. To deepen the first function of the protein, we knocked down the expression of the protein and found that this led to a dramatic reduction in the number of dendritic spines. We, thus, hypothesized that TSPAN5, through the formation of TEMs, could be responsible of dendritic spines formation. We observed in differential lysis of developing rat hippocampal neurons that two proteins, fundamental for dendritic spines formation, Neuroligin-1 and GluA2 AMPA receptor subunit, were associated with TSPAN5 TEMs. We found that the knockdown of TSPAN5 led to increased mobility of Neuroligin-1 and GluA2 AMPA receptors suggesting the loss of clusterization typical of the first moments of spines formation. To understand the second function of TSPAN5 we identified AP-4 complex as an interactor of the C-terminal intracellular tail of TSPAN5. This complex is known to act on AMPARs trafficking through direct binding of Stargazin, an AMPARs auxiliary subunit. We observed that the knockdown of TSPAN5, carried out after the majority of the synaptogenesis was occurred, caused a strong decrease in surface and total level of GluA2. Different evidences suggested an involvement of TSPAN5 in vesicular transport of GluA2 and we demonstrated that TSPAN5 was necessary for the correct recycling of this receptor. These results highlight multiple roles of TSPAN5 in the regulation of both synapse formation and synaptic functioning in mammalian brain through two distinct mechanisms of action.
FUNCTIONAL DISSECTION OF ST18 IN LIVER CANCER

description: The molecular mechanisms and pathways responsible for the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain to be fully characterized. Among the genetic lesions associated with HCC progression, Shukla et al. (2013) identified insertions of the L1 transposon proximal to the gene encoding the zinc-finger DNA-binding protein ST18 (suppression of tumorigenicity 18) and suggested that this actually functions as an oncogene in HCC. However, functional evidence for a cancer-promoting activity of ST18 and insight into its mode of action are missing. Here, I pursued the functional characterization of ST18 in a mouse model of HCC based on ex vivo transformation and subcutaneous transplantation of embryonic hepatoblasts. ST18 was undetectable in either normal liver or cultured hepatoblasts, but was induced in the subcutaneous tumors. ST18 was also expressed in either chronically or acutely inflamed mouse livers (as assessed in Mdr2-/- or LPS-treated mice) as well as in human Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis 2 (PFIC2: a condition associated with chronic inflammation), suggesting its induction by inflammatory stimuli. The knockdown of ST18 delayed tumor formation or, if induced in already formed tumors, led to rapid hemorrhage, pervasive morphological changes in the tumor cells reminiscent of an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and eventually tumor regression. RNA profiling revealed that ST18 silencing caused expression of EMT-associated genes, among others. Previous studies have linked inflammation to the induction of EMT in other epithelia: we hypothesize that the concomitant activation of ST18 constitutes a safeguard against EMT, inactivation of this control mechanism causing the dramatic phenotypic switch observed in our model. These data warrant further evaluation of the mode of action of ST18 and of its potential value as a therapeutic target in HCC.

description: We provide an in-depth investigation of quasinormal-mode oscillations of Kerr black holes with nearly extremal angular momenta. We first discuss in greater detail the two distinct types of quasinormal mode frequencies presented in a recent paper (arXiv:1212.3271). One set of modes, that we call "zero-damping modes", has vanishing imaginary part in the extremal limit, and exists for all corotating perturbations (i.e., modes with azimuthal index m being nonnegative). The other set (the "damped modes") retains a finite decay rate even for extremal Kerr black holes, and exists only for a subset of corotating modes. As the angular momentum approaches its extremal value, the frequency spectrum bifurcates into these two distinct branches when both types of modes are present. We discuss the physical reason for the mode branching by developing and using a bound-state formulation for the perturbations of generic Kerr black holes. We also numerically explore the specific case of the fundamental l=2 modes, which have the greatest astrophysical interest. Using the results of these investigations, we compute the quasinormal mode response of a nearly extremal Kerr black hole to perturbations. We show that many superimposed overtones result in a slow power-law decay of the quasinormal ringing at early times, which later gives way to exponential decay. This exceptional early-time power-law decay implies that the ringdown phase is long-lived for black holes with large angular momentum, which could provide a promising strong source for gravitational-wave detectors.

description: We estimate the turbulent ambipolar diffusion length scale and magnetic field strength in the massive dense cores CygX-N03 and CygX-N53, located in the Cygnus-X star-forming region. The method we use requires comparing the velocity dispersions in the spectral line profiles of the coexistent ion and neutral pair H13CN and H13CO+ (J=1-0) at different length scales. We fit Kolmogorov-type power laws to the lower envelopes of the velocity dispersion spectra of the two species. This allows to calculate the turbulent ambipolar diffusion scale, which in turn determines the plane-of-the-sky magnetic field strength. We find turbulent ambipolar diffusion length scales of 3.8+-0.1 mpc and 21.2+-0.4 mpc, and magnetic field strengths of 0.33 mG and 0.76 mG for CygX-N03 and CygX-N53, respectively. These magnetic field values have uncertainties of a factor of a few. Despite a lower signal-to-noise ratio of the data in CygX-N53 than in CygX-N03, and the caveat that its stronger field might stem in part from projection effects, the difference in field strengths suggests different fragmentation activities of the two cores. Even though the quality of our data, obtained with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI), is somewhat inferior to previous single-dish data, we demonstrate that this method is suited also for observations at high spatial resolution.

ADIPOSE TISSUE GROWTH AND MAINTENANCE
Creators: name: RIGAMONTI, ALESSANDRA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Because obesity is fast becoming a global health pandemic, understanding the molecular and cellular processes that regulate fat mass has acquired new importance. Characterized by an increase in adipose tissue to the point where it is associated with adverse health effects, the prevalence of obesity has nearly tripled over the past fifty years. Though for many years adipose tissue was considered to be merely a storage depot for fatty acids, it is now regarded as an important endocrine organ involved in the regulation of energy balance, glucose and lipid homeostasis, blood pressure control, reproduction, inflammation and immune response. Obesity has an enormous economic burden and it is the second leading cause of preventable death. The source of increased fat mass in obesity is currently attributed to two mechanisms: adipocyte hypertrophy, the process by which preexisting fat cells increase in size due to an accumulation of lipids, and adipocyte differentiation from fat precursor cells. Stem cells are defined by the ability to self-renew and differentiate into a variety of cell types. While some adult organs, including the intestine (Cheng and Leblond, 1974), skin (Oshima et al., 2001), blood (Spangrude et al., 1988), and parts of the brain (Doetsch et al., 1999; Reynolds and Weiss, 1992), are maintained by stem cells, others, such as the pancreas (Dor et al., 2004), are not. Though it was recently demonstrated that there is a substantial degree of cellular turnover within the human adipocyte population (Spalding et al., 2008), the source of new adipocytes during one?s lifetime has been entirely attributed to the differentiation of new adipocytes from preadipocytes and/or stem cells (Avram et al., 2007; Greenwood and Hirsch, 1974; Hausman et al., 2001; Lemonnier, 1972; Salans et al., 1971; Spalding et al., 2008; Tang et al., 2008). Adipocytes are thought to represent a terminal stage of differentiation and are widely believed to lack proliferative ability (Prins and O'Rahilly, 1997). Through four independent experimental approaches ?dilution of an inducible histone 2B-green fluorescent protein (H2BGFP) through cell division, incorporation of BrdU, labeling with the cell cycle marker Ki67, and genetic lineage analysis, we aimed to investigate the adult adipose tissue maintenance and its behavior in the cell cycle.

description: In the oracle identification problem, we are given oracle access to an unknown N-bit string x promised to belong to a known set C of size M and our task is to identify x. We present a quantum algorithm for the problem that is optimal in its dependence on N and M. Our algorithm considerably simplifies and improves the previous best algorithm due to Ambainis et al. Our algorithm also has applications in quantum learning theory, where it improves the complexity of exact learning with membership queries, resolving a conjecture of Hunziker et al. The algorithm is based on ideas from classical learning theory and a new composition theorem for solutions of the filtered $γ_2$-norm semidefinite program, which characterizes quantum query complexity. Our composition theorem is quite general and allows us to compose quantum algorithms with input-dependent query complexities without incurring a logarithmic overhead for error reduction. As an application of the composition theorem, we remove all log factors from the best known quantum algorithm for Boolean matrix multiplication.

description: Infectious diseases account for one fifth of global mortality. Although many efforts have been made to prevent and treat specific viral diseases (e.g. hepatitis B, AIDS) with vaccines and drugs, we still lack effective and biocompatible broad-spectrum antiviral agents, especially against re-emerging (e.g. Dengue virus) and newly emerging viruses (e.g. Ebola virus). Current advances in nanotechnology opened new frontiers in developing novel antivirals that can interact and inactivate a large number of viral pathogens. Nanoparticles (NPs) ? particles in the size range 1-100 nm ? can be finely engineered on their surface to interfere with key events of infections shared by many viruses, above all the attachment to the host cell. The aim of the present work is to assess the role of gold nanoparticles (Au- NPs) capped with sulfonate molecules as potential inhibitors toward human viruses binding sulfated polysaccharides on the cell membrane. Results showed that sulfonated NPs have powerful antiviral as well as virucidal activity. Their applications may lead to substantial improvements in virus-spread control not only as novel wide-spectrum therapeutic agents but most importantly as novel active materials to be employed in emergency situations, for example in personal protective equipment, waste management, virus containment.

description: We propose two complementary design principles for engineering three-dimensional (3D) Weyl semimetals and superconductors in a layer-by-layer setup which includes even and odd parity orbitals in alternating layers - dubbed orbital selective superlattice. Such structure breaks mirror symmetry along the superlattice growth axis which, with the help of either a basal plane spin-orbit coupling or a spinless p+ip superconductivity, stabilizes a 3D Dirac node. To explore this idea, we develop a 3D generalization of Haldane model and a Bogoliubov-de-Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonian for the two cases, respectively, and show that a tunable single or multiple Weyl nodes with linear dispersion in all spatial directions can be engineered desirably in a widespread parameter space. We also demonstrate that a single helical Weyl band can be created at the $Γ$-point at the Fermi level in the superconducting case via gapping out either of the orbital state by violating its particle-hole symmetry but not any other symmetries. Finally, implications of our results for the realization of anomalous Hall effect and Majorana bound state are discussed.

EFFECTS OF CYSTEINYL LEUKOTRIENES ON PLATELET ACTIVATION

description: Platelet are key players in haemostasis and represent a pivotal link between inflammation, immunity and atherogenesis. Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) such as LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 are potent lipid inflammatory mediators which interact with G protein-coupled receptors, CysLT1R, CysLT2R . However, LTE4, the most stable cystenyl leukotriene, is not putative substrate for these two receptor. Recently have been hypothesized that a third cystenyl leukotreine receptor exists, and a computer modeling suggests P2Y12, receptor for ADP present on platelet surface, as the putative receptor. But GPR99 is also hypothesized as LTE4 putative receptor. It is known that LTE4 needs P2Y12 on platelet to mediate inflammation in sensitized mice, and LTC4 can induce release of P-selectin in sensitized mice. In human platelet LTE4 cannot increase level of cAMP, or of p-selectin. Aim of this study was to test whether cystenyl leukotrienes elicit platelet functional responses, by interacting with the platelet P2Y12, receptor for ADP. We measure the platelet aggregation induced by CysLTs alone or in combination with epinephrine or ADP; the cAMP level in presence of PGE1, ADP and CysLTs, and finally the p-selectin expression on platelet surface after stimulation with ADP and CysLTs and in presence/absence of cangrelor. Ours results shows that CysLTs cannot affect platelet aggregation alone or in combination with other agonist, independently of presence of physiological level of calcium. CysLTs failed to show an effect also on cAMP level. Also when platelet activation was tested by measuring the expression of p-selectin on the platelet membrane induced by ADP, CysLTs failed to show any effect. The negative results of our studies are not due to alterations of the CysLTs that we used, as they were identified correctly at mass spectrometry and induced normal cellular response of HUVEC, as previously shown. The inflammatory effects of CysLTs mediated by the platelet P2Y12 receptor, which have been demonstrated in vivo experiments, were most likely indirect, rather than induced by a direct interaction of CysLTs with platelets.

Adapted deformations and Ekedahl-Oort stratifications of Shimura varieties
Creators: name: YAN, QIJUN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: The thesis deals with the Ekedahl-Oort stratification of the special fibre of Shimura varieties of Hodge type. We construct a morphism of schemes from a(n) (fppf-)torsor of the special fibre of Shimura variety to a subquotient scheme of the loop group of the associated reductive group of the Shimura varieties. This morphism is given roughly given by the Frobenii of a family of p-divisible groups associated to the Shimura variety. We show that this morphism induces a morphism of fpqc sheaves from the Shimura variety in question to an fpqc subquotient sheaf of the loop group. We show in the end that the geometric fibre of this morphism give back the Ekedahl-Oort strata of the Shimura variety: this gives a conceptual interpretation of Eva Viehmann's new invariants of truncation of level 1 of loop groups.

description: In recent years, semantic similarity measure has a great interest in Semantic Web and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Several similarity measures have been developed, being given the existence of a structured knowledge representation offered by ontologies and corpus which enable semantic interpretation of terms. Semantic similarity measures compute the similarity between concepts/terms included in knowledge sources in order to perform estimations. This paper discusses the existing semantic similarity methods based on structure, information content and feature approaches. Additionally, we present a critical evaluation of several categories of semantic similarity approaches based on two standard benchmarks. The aim of this paper is to give an efficient evaluation of all these measures which help researcher and practitioners to select the measure that best fit for their requirements.

Catalysis and mechanisms of reactions

description: Cyclopropanes are found in an array of synthetic and natural products. The Simmons–Smith reaction has been one of the most common methods used to synthesize cyclopropanes since it was first discovered in the 1950s. The Simmons–Smith reaction entails the transfer of a carbene (:CH2) from a zinc carbenoid to an alkene, forming a cyclopropane. However, there are still many limitations to the Simmons–Smith method, including poor functional group tolerance and poor regioselectivity in polyalkene substrates. To address the weaknesses in the Simmons–Smith reactions, we have pursued a transition metal-catalyzed method. Our group has reported a cobalt pyridinediimine (PDI) catalyst system to carry out cyclopropanation reactions using gem-dichloroalkanes and gem-dibromoalkanes in order to access nonstabilized carbenes. This method also offers an advantage over diazo transfer chemistry since diazo chemistry requires a stabilizing group to be present in most cases. This established work has demonstrated a complimentary reactivity to the Simmons–Smith reaction. In this work, we demonstrate that we could expand upon the existing methods of dimethylcyclopropanation to access spirocyclopropanated products by changing the identity of the dichloroalkane. In addition to this reactivity, an enantiopure catalyst that is able to catalyze an enantioselective cyclopropanation was found. We were able to show a broad scope of this new reaction, and mechanistic experiments are carried out in order to probe the mechanism of this reaction. Overall, this thesis offers a new way to access enantiopure dimethylcyclopropane and spirocyclopropanated products.

On the Marginally Relevant Operator in z=2 Lifshitz Holography

description: We study holographic renormalization and RG flow in a strongly-coupled Lifshitz-type theory in 2+1 dimensions with dynamical exponent z=2. The bottom-up gravity dual we use is 3+1 dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a massive vector field. This model contains a marginally relevant operator around the Lifshitz fixed point. We show how holographic renormalization works in the presence of this marginally relevant operator without the need to introduce explicitly cutoff-dependent counterterms. A simple closed-form expression is found for the renormalized on-shell action. We also discuss how asymptotically Lifshitz geometries flow to AdS in the interior due to the marginally relevant operator. We study the behavior of the renormalized entanglement entropy and confirm that it decreases monotonically along the Lifshitz-to-AdS RG flow.

description: For variable gravity models the strength of gravity, as measured by Newton's ``constant'' or the Planck mass, depends on the value of a scalar field, the cosmon. We discuss two simple four-parameter models with a quadratic or constant cosmon potential. They are compatible with all presently available cosmological observations, including inflation. The inflaton and the scalar field of quintessence are the same cosmon field. Dark Energy constitutes a small, almost constant fraction of the energy density during the radiation and matter dominated epochs (Early Dark Energy). In the present epoch we witness a transition to a new Dark Energy dominated epoch. Our models are free of a big bang singularity. The stability of solutions generates an arrow of time. Our picture of the Universe is unusual, with a shrinking or static scale factor, while the masses of particles increase and the size of atoms shrinks. The evolution of the universe can be very slow for all cosmological epochs including inflation, with typical time scale $10^{10}$ yr, and in sharp contrast to the usual big bang picture. The map to the equivalent Einstein frame with constant particle masses and expanding scale factor can be singular at the big bang.
