Expression of mutated BRAF (V600E) in melanocytes activates metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 expression
Creators: name: Chen, Ho-Chung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, which is caused by the neoplastic transformation of melanocytes. The precise genetic aberrations that initiate the transformation process remain largely unknown. Several genetic mutations have shown to be critical in maintaining the transformed phenotypes and the temporal expression of these mutated proteins is also vital on the onset of dysregulated cell growth.       The current study is to explore a relationship between two genetic aberrations, both have been shown to play a role in melanoma development. Our group has identified the ectopic expression of a normal neuronal receptor, metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (Grm1) in melanocytes was sufficient to induce spontaneous metastatic melanoma development in vivo by the establishment of two transgenic mouse models (TG-3 and Epv). Mutated BRAF at residues 600 was shown in about 60% of nevi and melanoma specimens. Mouse models with mutated BRAF alone led to hyper-proliferated melanocytes in the absence of tumor development. Unexpectedly, we detected Grm1 expression in tumor samples harboring mutated B-RAF(V600E) mutation on PTEN null background by immunohistochemical staining.       We hypothesize that one of the consequences of mutated BRAFis activation of Grm1 expression. We took advantage of an inducible BRAFmouse model, BJB, which has an inducible BRAF mutation (V600E) genotype only in melanocytes. We observed hyperpigmentation on their ears, tails, and skin samples, Grm1 expression was also detected. There was no tumor formation even after 13 months, while Grm1 expression persisted. We hypothesize that the order of the expression of mutated BRAF and Grm1 must play a role in the onset of melanocytic transformation.     In in vitro cumltured cell experiments, we also detected Grm1 expression after introduction of mutated BRAF into immortalized non-tumorigenic mouse melanocytes, MelanA cells. Moreover, siRNA decrease in mutated BRAF expression by silencing RNA resulted in parallel reduction in Grm1 expression. Taken together, these results point to an association between mutated BRAF and Grm1 expression in vivo and in vitro.

Cancer preventive effects of tocopherols in dietary carcinogen-induced colon and prostate carcinogenesis models
Creators: name: Chen, Jayson Xiao-Chen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Colorectal and prostate cancers are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide. While immense progress has been made in reducing incidence and death of these cancers in the past few decades, they remain major public health issues, highlighting the need for better understanding, prevention and intervention of these diseases. One major strategy to address these issues is research into more relevant animal cancer models and potent chemopreventive agents. The purpose of this dissertation research was to characterize a novel colon carcinogenesis model induced by the meat-derived carcinogen, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), with colitis from Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) and determine the effects of different tocopherol forms of vitamin E on the colon carcinogenesis model as well as a PhIP-induced prostate carcinogenesis model. The rapid induction of PhIP/DSS-induced colon carcinogenesis in the CYP1A-humanized mice was determined to be caused by active Ctnnb1/Î²-catenin mutations in residual epithelial cells, which when promoted by colitis, developed into precancerous lesion, high-grade dysplasia, and finally adenocarcinoma. These features resembled human colitis-associated colon cancer. In the PhIP/DSS-induced colon carcinogenesis model, dietary supplementation with d-T and g-T, but not a-T, significantly attenuated colon tumor formation and inhibited oxidative and nitrosative stress as well as pro-inflammatory markers. Additional studies indicate the potent inhibitory effects of d-T and g-T was mainly due to protection against early cellular and DNA damage caused by the PhIP carcinogen. In the PhIP-induced prostate carcinogenesis model, dietary supplementation with g-TmT and d-T effectively reduced the formation and severity of mouse PIN lesions as well as p-Akt expression, whereas g-T and a-T were less effective. Further studies suggest the chemopreventive effects of the tocopherols involved the reduction in cellular oxidative and nitrosative stress and inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway that regulate cell survival and proliferation. Together, the findings from this research demonstrate the relevance of PhIP dietary carcinogen-induced and DSS colitis-promoted colon carcinogenesis model and the superior cancer preventive activities of d-T and g-T compared to the classic a-T.

Genetic analysis of arabidopsis metacaspases as regulators of responses to DNA damage in root stem cells
Creators: name: Chen, Chia-Hui
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Metacaspases (MCPs), are highly conserved caspase-related cysteine proteases that may play important roles in controlling programmed cell death (PCD) in plants. Arabidopsis thaliana has nine metacaspases, and they could be divided into Type Ⅰ(AtMC1-3) and Type Ⅱ(AtMC4-9), based on their predicted protein sequences. Recent research indicates the function for some of the AtMCs; however, there are many difficulties in studying plant PCD: Single gene mutations produce only quantitative effects and are often quite variable, suggesting that potential functional redundancy among members of this multigene family and parallel pathways may confound interpretation of phenotypes.    In this thesis work, I explored a well-defined DNA damage response (DDR) of root stem cells as an excellent cellular model for PCD studies in plants. Root stem cells have been shown to exhibit low resistance to genotoxic stresses. To maintain the integrity of the genome, plant root stem cells induce different downstream consequences such as DNA repair mechanisms, cell-cycle arrest, or PCD upon excess DNA damage that is correlated with elongation arrest of the root.  Compared with wild-type plants, the root tip of atmc2, atmc4, atmc2/4, atmc9 and atmc4/9 gene knockout mutants show a lower suppression effect of primary root elongation after zeocin treatment, a genotoxic radiomimetic drug that initially causes cell death in the root stem cell niche and inducing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Among these 3 AtMC genes studied, my results showed that atmc9 mutant displayed the highest resistance to zeocin treatment and but no significant difference between the atmc4/9 double mutant and the single gene mutants in terms of root elongation. Interestingly, the atmc4/9 double mutant showed a dramatic suppression of PCD at the root stem cell niche compared to the other genotypes examined. Taken together, these results indicate that AtMC2, AtMC4, and AtMC9 might work as positive regulators in the Zeocin-activated PCD process in the Arabidopsis root stem cell niche and AtMC9 plays the most important role than other two genes.

description: Let $p$ be a fixed odd prime number, $μ$ be a Hida family over the Iwasawa algebra of one variable, $ρ_μ$ its Galois representation, $\mathbb{Q}_\infty/\mathbb{Q}$ the $p$-cyclotomic tower and $S$ the variable of the cyclotomic Iwasawa algebra. We compare, for $n\leq 4$ and under certain assumptions, the characteristic power series $L(S)$ of the dual of Selmer groups $\mathrm{Sel}(\mathbb{Q}_{\infty},\mathrm{Sym}^{2n}\otimes\mathrm{det}^{-n}ρ_μ)$ to certain congruence ideals. The case $n=1$ has been treated by H.Hida. In particular, we express the first term of the Taylor expansion at the trivial zero $S=0$ of $L(S)$ in terms of an $\mathcal{L}$-invariant and a congruence number. We conjecture the non-vanishing of this $\mathcal{L}$-invariant; this implies therefore that these Selmer groups are cotorsion. We also show that our $\mathcal{L}$-invariants coincide with Greenberg's $\mathcal{L}$-invariants calculated by R.Harron and A.Jorza.

Nonlinear acceleration sensitivity and frequency temperature behavior of quartz crystals
Creators: name: Chen, Jian Feng
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Quartz, composted of Silicon and Oxygen (Silicon Dioxide SiO2), has been the material of choice for stable resonators in wide applications of modern electronics. Due to decrease in the size of modern electronic devices, the nonlinearities of piezoelectric materials become more pronounced. Extensive study of the nonlinear behaviors of piezoelectric material is required. Three dimensional FEM modes are developed to calculate the effect of nonlinearities on the thickness shear mode resonant frequency. The intrinsic nonlinearities affecting the quartz resonators at high frequencies are acceleration sensitivity, force-frequency effect, and frequency-temperature behavior.    A detailed study of the acceleration sensitivity of a rectangular AT-cut quartz plate is presented. For AT-cut quartz resonators with the crystal digonal X-axis perpendicular to plate X-axis, the in-plane acceleration sensitivity is found to be negligible compared to the out-of-plane (Y-axis) acceleration sensitivity. When the crystal digonal X-axis is parallel to plate X-axis, the Y-axis acceleration sensitivity is rectified. A DC bias field with an appropriate DC voltage could potentially yield a reduction of acceleration sensitivity in Y-axis direction of about two orders of magnitude.   The behaviors of vibrating crystal plates under the action of external forces in fundamental mode and third overtone mode are studied. The plates were respectively subjected to diametrical compression forces and flexural bending in different configurations. Finite element models were developed using theory of small deformation superposed on finite initial deformation in Lagrangian formulation. The model results showed consistent trend with the experimental results by Fletcher and Mingins et al.     The electrode stresses can be used to improve the frequency-temperature (f-T) behavior of ultra-high frequency (UHF) quartz resonators. The use of chromium-aluminum electrodes yields improved f-T behavior compared to the case where aluminum electrodes are used alone. The UHF quartz resonators must be treated as composite plates of quartz and electrode film since the ratio of electrode thickness to quartz plate thickness is significant. The quartz-aluminum composite plate rotates the f-T curve clockwise while the quartz-chromium composite plate rotates the f-T curve counter-clockwise.

Development of new concepts for the C-H functionalization of cyclic amines
Creators: name: Chen, Weijie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The functionalization of non-activated C–H bond of cyclic amines is of great importance due to the ubiquity of complex molecular structures containing functionalized cyclic amine moieties. Most previously developed methods for this purpose involve the use of deprotonating bases, external oxidants and/or metal catalysts. An alternative pathway for the C–H functionalization of cyclic amines via the intermediacy of azomethine ylides will be discussed in this dissertation. Transformations developed combine a reductive N-alkylation with an oxidative C–H functionalization, thus enabling the functionalization of cyclic amines in a redox-neutral fashion. Specific research projects outlined include α-cyanation, α-arylation, the redox-Mannich reaction, α,β-difunctionalization and the redox-annulation involving β-ketoaldehydes. Functionalized amine products are obtained from readily available starting materials in the presence of simple carboxylic acid, and in some cases, no additive is required. The majority of established methods for the C–H functionalization of cyclic amines require pre-functionalization on the amine nitrogen, thus extra steps for the removal of directing/protecting group are often needed in order to obtain N-H amines. To avoid this limitation, an α-functionalization of cyclic N-H amines via intermolecular hydride transfer is developed and will also be discussed in this dissertation. Aryllithium reagents are used as nucleophiles for most reactions of this type demonstrated in this dissertation, and a few examples involving trans-styryllithium and alkyllithium reagents are also shown.

Roughly 50% of these neurons are type IIb  GABAergic, medium spiny projection neurons (MSNs) whose firing rates (FRs) are  related to sensorimotor activity of individual body parts. There is also a hypothesized  dual organization of DLS outputs known as the â€œdirect and indirect pathwaysâ€ .  According to this model, direct pathway MSNs project to the substantia nigra pars  reticulata (SNr) and the internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi), leading to  disinhibition of the thalamus and facilitation of movement. Conversely the indirect  pathway projects to the SNr via the globus pallidus external segment (GPe) and then the  subthalamic nucleus (STN), inhibiting the thalamus and reducing movement. In addition  to their distinct projections, MSNs of the direct and indirect pathway are characterized  by differential expression of dopamine receptors. Dopamine Drd1 is expressed by direct  pathway MSNs, whereas Drd2 is expressed by indirect pathway MSNs. While there has  been a significant amount of research testing the functional hypotheses generated by  iii  the direct and indirect pathways framework, no study has attempted to reconcile the  very well classified striatal type IIb neurons with the aforementioned functional tenet of  the hypothesis. The present study utilized AAV-EF1a-FLEx-Chronos-GFP to visualize and  optogenetically identify Drd1 and Drd2 MSNs in Cre-animals. We then performed  somatosensory motor exams in order to identify type IIb MSNs and fill the gap in the  literature. We found that in Drd1-Cre animals, Chronos-GFP expressing neurons  projected to GPi, while in Drd2-Cre animals, Chronos-GFP expressing neurons projected  to GPe, providing evidence that Drd1-Cre and Drd2-Cre animals are valid models of the  direct and indirect pathways. Further, we were able to unambiguously identify Drd1  and Drd2 MSNs in the striatum of awake, behaving mice using light stimulation. We  were subsequently able show that both the direct (Drd1) and indirect (Drd2) pathways  contain type IIb neurons with firing related to stimulation of body parts. This evidence  brings into question the notion that Drd1 neurons promote movement, while Drd2  neurons inhibit it. Rather, it seems that Drd1 and Drd2 neurons process sensorimotor  information similarly, with both Drd1 and Drd2 neurons exhibiting increased phasic  firing during body part stimulation and movement. While the anatomical aspects of the  direct and indirect pathways hypothesis are strongly corroborated, the functional aspect  appears to need a critical reevaluation.

description: Patient delay has been shown to be an important antecedent of mortality and medical complications.  To design interventions to decrease delay it is imperative to understand the complex decisions and actions involved in the multifaceted process of health-care-seeking behavior.  We used a simulation, i.e., asking participants how long they would wait to take specific actions if experiencing moderate abdominal pain, as an initial step to examine the sequences of responding and to gain insight into the processes underlying these decisions.  Anticipated latency to specific actions, e.g., using a home remedy, communicating with family or friends, and seeking professional care, was investigated. We explored gender and health anxiety relations with anticipated action latencies as well. In addition to examining delay for oneself, we examined the advice the respondents would give to a friend facing an identical scenario.  Participants were undergraduates from Rutgers University (n=145) who completed an online questionnaire including abdominal pain health scenarios. Overall, latencies were shorter to take OTC medications or talk to someone about symptoms than to seeking a health care professional and the most common behaviors reported were resting or waiting (31.1%), followed by taking OTC medication (22.7%), seeing a healthcare professional (18.2%), and taking a home remedy (11.4%). Consistent with hypotheses, higher health anxiety scores were associated with shorter anticipated latencies to take OTC medications or home remedies (B=-.07, SE=.032, Wald Χ2 (1)=4.81, p=.028). Additionally men anticipated longer latencies to taking any action than did women (B=.66, SE=.32, Wald X2 (1)=4.08, p=.043), as hypothesized.  Comparing self-described action with advice to a friend, showed that respondents were more likely to advise friends to take OTC medications (X2 (1)=3.58, p=.059), but were less likely to advise friends to seek professional care, relative to their self-care plans (X2 (1)=12.42, p=.000). Implications of these findings are discussed.
Molecular modeling of adsorption of simple and complex fluids on nanoporous materials for characterization

description: The process of adsorption – in particular physisorption – occurs when the molecules of a fluid accumulate upon a solid surface. Adsorption is influenced by temperature, pressure, and adsorbate composition – as well as the adsorbate-adsorbent interactions, which are dependent on the chemistry and topology of the adsorbent. The influence of these factors is reflected in the adsorption behavior – the quantitative and qualitative interactions between the adsorbed species and the adsorbent. The unique features of adsorption have led to its widespread use for the characterization of porous materials. Of particular interest is the class of materials with pores which have a characteristic dimension on the order of nanometers, termed nanoporous materials. This dissertation focuses on the accurate modeling of adsorption through analytical, computational and simulation techniques and the application of adsorption modeling to characterization of nanoporous materials. Analytical and computational models were developed to predict the specific behavior of simple fluids (N2, Ar, Kr, CO2) and complex fluids (polymers) interacting with nanoporous materials and transferrable tools were created to facilitate adsorbent characterization based upon adsorption behavior. The tools and models presented in this dissertation aid one to understand the peculiarities of adsorption behavior, in particular the phenomena of capillary hysteresis, scanning hysteresis, and the so-called “critical conditions” of adsorption and to exploit these peculiarities to derive useful information about nanoporous materials. In particular: a suite of analytical models was developed for the analysis of scanning isotherms, suitable for any simple nonpolar fluid, from which pore size distributions and pore domain correlation/connectivity may be derived. A set of adsorption isotherm kernels was developed using Quenched Solid density functional theory to analyze adsorption isotherms of Ar and CO2 on micro-mesoporous carbons, capable of distinguishing slit, cylindrical, and spherical pore geometries. A new criterion for the critical conditions of polymer adsorption on surfaces – the incremental chemical potential – has been demonstrated and applied to the case of liquid polymer chromatography. An expression for the overall partition coefficient was developed which takes into account adsorbent geometry and column porosity. It was shown that the adsorption and elution behavior of polymers can be predicted for nonporous and porous column substrates using this partition coefficient, with minimal parameterization.

Re-visions of the past

description: This dissertation investigates the role of lyricism in mainland Chinese and Taiwanese poetry and film. The project centers on the directors Hou Hsiao-hsien and Jia Zhangke, whose films are frequently described as lyrical despite their detailed, realistic recreation of the past. The analysis of these filmmakers is paired with chapters dealing with poetry by Ya Xian, Bei Dao, Xi Chuan and others. Drawing on concepts from both the Chinese and Western traditions, the dissertation identifies key poetic strategies that are operative in the films while taking into account the particularities of each medium. Lyricism is a flexible term that has been applied variously to these poems and films in an attempt to capture the way they translate the affective layers of historical experience into comprehensible artistic forms. Much more than a genre or style, lyricism is the result of a particular activation of the reader or spectator, who must participate in the meaning-making process and therefore bring something of his or her own emotional and personal resources to the work. Because of that self-conscious participation, the experience of lyricism therefore enables a particular historical consciousness that can be a productive alternative to the more typical narrative forms of historicism that these artists reject.
Exploring the role of L1-L2 overlap, structural complexity, and task effects in the processing of bilingual Spanish morphosyntax

description: It is unclear whether postpuberty second language (L2) learners can achieve a native-like representation and processing in the target language. Some researchers argue that lack of convergence in postpuberty L2 systems results from their fundamentally different nature, which cannot instantiate new grammatical features that are absent in the L1 of the learners due to maturational constraints (e.g., Franceschina, 2005; Hawkins and Franceschina, 2004). Moreover, as the underlying grammatical representation is non-native-like, L2 systems cannot apply a full parsing route to the incoming linguistic input in the L2, especially with grammatical long-distance dependencies (Clahsen and Felser, 2006a, 2006b, 2006c). By contrast, other researchers claim that postpuberty L2 systems are fundamentally identical to native systems, and variability in the L2 representation and processing is the result of different factors, such as L1-L2 overlap, individual cognitive differences (e.g., working memory), task demands, structural complexity, exposure to the target language, and proficiency level, among others (e.g., Dekydtspotter and Renaud, 2014; Hopp, 2007; Lardiere, 2009).    This dissertation investigates the role of L1-L2 overlap, structural complexity, and task effects in the processing of L2 Spanish. Specifically, it explores how L1 English advanced postpuberty learners of L2 Spanish process grammatical gender and number agreement violations in Spanish clitic-doubled left dislocations, and whether they parse this type of long-distance grammatical dependency by applying syntactic island constraints. In order to do so, a group of L1 English advanced postpuberty learners of L2, and a control group of Spanish native speakers completed a series of experiments employing the moving-window paradigm (Just et al., 1982).    Results reveal that L2 learners can acquire and process grammatical features that are absent in their L1 in a native-like fashion, regardless of whether the online tasks require subjects to answer comprehension or acceptability questions. Moreover, they show that postpuberty L2 speakers can parse grammatically complex representations that are subject to syntactic island constraints such as clitic-doubled left dislocations in a native-like way. From these results, it is possible to conclude that the nature of L2 systems is fundamentally identical to that of nativesâ€™. The findings of this dissertation contribute to a better understanding of L2 verb-object agreement relations, an understudied domain in the field of second language acquisition, which has been shown to be particularly problematic for postpuberty L2 speakers (e.g., Tremblay, 2005). Finally, the findings are also informative about how this type of dependency is parsed in a Romance language like Spanish for which there is few psycholinguistic research (e.g., Coughlin and Tremblay, 2013; Leal MÃ©ndez, Farmer, and Slabakova, 2014; Pablos, 2006).

description: There is some literature on the application of linear boundary element method (BEM) for real-time simulation of biological organs. However, literature is scant when it comes to the application of nonlinear BEM, although there is a possibility that the use of nonlinear BEM would result in better simulations. Hence the present paper explores the possibility of using nonlinear BEM for real-time simulation of biological organs. This paper begins with a general discussion about using the nonlinear BEM for real-time simulation of biological organs. Literature on nonlinear BEM is reviewed and the literature that deal with nonlinear formulations and coding are noted down next. In the later sections, some results obtained from nonlinear analyses are compared with the corresponding results from linear analyses. The last section concludes with remarks that indicate that it might be possible to obtain better simulations in the future by using nonlinear BEM.

The effects of reinforcer pairing on food preference and subsequent reinforcer value in individuals with autism spectrum disorder
Creators: name: Dashow, Erica Meryl
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Food selectivity (severe "picky eating" ) is commonly seen in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with prevalence rates ranging from 59-83%. It presents a challenge for caregivers of individuals with ASD, as these children tend to display high rates of problem behavior when presented with nonpreferred foods (Ledford & Gast, 2006; Sharp, Jaquess & Lukens, 2013). Food selectivity has been associated with inadequate nutrient consumption and is a risk factor for obesity in children with ASD (Bandini et al., 2010). Additionally, poor eating habits can also become increasingly problematic as children grow older and gain more independence and greater access to foods (Ho, Eaves & Peabody, 1997). The treatment of feeding problems can be challenging, and most of this research has been conducted in populations without ASD. The results from these populations may have limited applicability to children with ASD, as those studies tend to examine individuals with medical conditions that are related to the feeding problems (Ledford & Gast, 2006). Therefore, further research is needed to fill this gap by extending research to individuals with ASD. The present study partially replicated and extended a pairing and fading procedure used by Solberg, Hanley, Layer, and Ingvarsson (2007) to shift preferences to healthier food items, with the addition of a reinforcer assessment both before and after the pairing procedure in order to determine whether the targeted foods also functioned as reinforcers. The present study employed a multiple baseline across subjects design. Two participants achieved a stable baseline and were introduced to the pairing procedure but did not demonstrate a shift in preference to other food items. The third participant did not achieve the necessary baseline in order to continue with the pairing and fading portion of the intervention. These results indicate that this pairing and fading procedure may not be appropriate for low functioning individuals with ASD. Possible explanations and future research directions are discussed.
