25.1. Chorthippus biguttulus biguttulus (Linnaeus, 1758) = širokokrili livadni skakavac
First faunistic record for Croatia: Graber 1870
Also reported as: Chorthippus variabilis Fieber, 1852 (Frauenfeld 1861), C. biguttulus hedickei (Ramme, 1942) (see Taxonomic note)
Distribution in Croatia: Nominal subspecies only. Widespread and common in all regions.
Distribution in Europe: Widespread, from the Pyrennees to the Urals and from Greece to Southern Scandinavia. In Italy occurs only north of the Po Valley (Hochkirch et al. 2016).
Taxonomic note: Populations from the Pannonian lowland and the Balkans were assigned to C. b. hedickei (e.g. Mikšić 1970, Helversen 1989). However, no morphological or bioacoustic differences that would evidence separation of more than one group within this species were found among Croatian populations (unpublished data).
Thus, we consider further investigations necessary to clear out the infraspecific taxonomy of this species.

Fate and Bioaccumulation of Toxic Contaminants in New York - New Jersey Harbor

description: A mass balance model was previously developed to examine responses of the Lower Hudson River to changes in PCB loads during the 1990s.  In this study, additional model evaluations were performed to test the PCB model calibration and to further explore application of the model to 2,3,7,8-tetra-chloro-dibenzo-dioxin (TCDD). Based on evaluations of the PCB model, we found that partitioning of PCBs to suspended solids appears to be largely controlled by phytoplankton. Phytoplankton production and subsequent decomposition of phytoplankton-derived material in sediments plays a particularly important role in scavenging PCBs from the water column and accumulating them in sediments. Settling of phytoplankton and other suspended organic matter, resuspension of sedimentary organic matter, and to a lesser extent, pore water diffusion of dissolved and DOC-bound contaminant provide a continuous exchange of PCBs between the overlying water and surface sediment. These processes, along with the large capacity of sediments to store contaminants, work to store PCBs in sediments during periods of high contaminant loads and subsequently release them to the overlying water. This results in highly dampened responses of PCBs down in the mid estuary and in "smearing" the effects of changing PCB loads on striped bass accumulation.  Differences in homolog accumulations in sediment and fish, in homolog losses by volatilization, and in temporal responses of homologs in fish are largely explained by differences in hydrophobicity (as expressed by Kow values) of the PCB homologs. For TCDD model applications, we found that long-term model results provided an adequate description of the spatial distribution of TCDD contamination emanating from the Lower Passaic River.

description: Current therapeutics to treat breast cancer, such as tamoxifen and Herceptin, are limited because only a minority of cancers have the target proteins for each drug. For example, tamoxifen is effective only against the 30% of breast cancers that are estrogen receptor positive. Thus, our laboratory’s interest is to identify potential therapeutics with, (i) with a more broad spectrum effectiveness, (ii) having a role both in treatment and prevention, and (iii) being tolerable with respect to unwanted side-effects. These interests led to our previous studies on a natural dietary compound found in vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, called indole-3-carbinol (I3C). This compound and more potent derivatives will impede the growth of breast cancer cells by directly interfering with the cellular events leading to cell division. I3C will arrest cells at critical cell cycle checkpoints that are controlled by proteins (cyclins) that become unregulated in cancer. Importantly, I3C appears to inhibit both tamoxifen-sensitive and resistant breast cancer cells.

 However, we still know little about the cellular binding target(s) of I3C. My hypothesis is that I3C binds to a discrete target protein in human breast cancer cells. My plan is to first identify and purify the immediate target protein of I3C from MCF7 breast cancer cells. We are hopeful that the recently discovered derivatives of I3C will have sufficient affinity to allow direct biochemical purification using affinity chromatography. We plan to clone and sequence our I3C target protein by traditional biochemical methods. To validate our protein we can use I3C-unresponsive breast cancer cells, such as MCF-10. Introduction of the I3C-binding protein into these cells should restore I3C-sensitivity.

 We are hopeful that these studies will provide insight into common features of breast cancer cells to allow more effective regulation of growth control. This will eventually lead to more broad-spectrum therapeutics. In the case of I3C and its derivatives, they could find application as a primary, an adjunct, or as a preventative treatment to combat breast cancer.
Determining the environmental potential of demountable building elements

description: Demountable building is put forward by different policies as a solution to reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector. However, uncertainty on the actual environmental benefits that can be achieved, hinders its implementation in practice. To stimulate building actors to (correctly) implement demountable building elements, it is imperative to be able to quantify their potential environmental benefits and determine under which conditions these benefits can be achieved. Life cycle assessment (LCA) allows to quantify the environmental impact of a product, building element or building over its whole life cycle. It is identified as an important tool to measure the environmental potential of demountable building. Variable design and use parameters, such as the number of use cycles and material lifespan, should be incorporated in LCAs of demountable building elements to account for their different possible use scenarios. This allows to determine for which scenarios (i.e., under which conditions) demountable building elements are environmentally beneficial. However, existing LCAs of demountable elements only vary one parameter at a time and/or consider simple reuse scenarios and building elements. The aim of this research is to show how LCAs of demountable building elements can be organized by focusing on influential design and use parameters, while resolving the limitations from existing research. This is illustrated by conducting an LCA with variable influential parameters for a demountable and non-demountable space dividing wall. According to a traditional, non-variable LCA, the non-demountable wall has the lowest environmental impact, but when considering variable parameters, the use scenarios for which the demountable wall has the lowest impact become clear, for example, when the wall is relocated every five years. These types of LCAs can be used to set achievable targets regarding demountable building.
Are EGF-Receptors Activated by IL-8 in Breast Cancer?

description: The most life-threatening aspect of breast cancer lies in the ability of cancer cells to spread from the primary tumor to distant locations in the body, where they form metastases. An early step in the metastatic process is the generation of tumor cells that can migrate through the surrounding tissue and reach the circulatory system. To complete this process they adhere to the endothelial cells that line blood vessels, migrate into the tissue, and grow as new tumors in the afflicted organ. Our interest is in the protein and receptor signaling events that stimulate tumor cell migration. The IL-8-like chemokines, named for their ability to cause cell movement, are a family of such factors, which activate a receptor called CXCR2. This receptor is present on breast cancer cells, but its role in these cells is poorly understood.

 Recently we were able to show that IL-8-induced activation of the CXCR2 on endothelial cells (cells that line the vasculature) had an unexpected effect. It caused the activation of a different class of receptors, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR or Her-1). Further, this activation of the EGFR was associated with IL-8-induced cell migration. Our hypothesis is that this same sequence of events might work in breast cancer cells. This is quite logical, because it is already known that the presence of the EGFR is a 'marker' for metastasis and poor clinical prognosis. In this project we propose that IL-8 'hijacks' the machinery of cellular responses used by the EGFR in breast cancer. An additional hypothesis is that we predict that activation of the EGFR response(s) might cause activation of a nuclear factor that tells cells to produce more IL-8. The net result is that IL-8 works both to increase its own production and to cause breast cancer cells to migrate as an integral process in metastasis.

 To study the relationship of IL-8, CXCR2, and the EGFR we plan both activity assays and specific inhibitors to dissect key events in the signaling cascade. The sequence we hope to establish is the direct linkage that leads, (1) to activation of the CXCR2, (2) to activation of the EGF-R, and (3) to increased IL-8 production. The biological significance of this pathway will be confirmed in cell migration and invasion assays, which are proven indicators for metastatic potential. Once at this point, we envision future studies using breast cancer animal models to test the effect of inhibitors in a more realistic setting for the disease.

 The idea of the vicious cycle that links IL-8 and EGFR activation is novel. This cross-talk between the two distinct receptor systems may ultimately lead to therapies to help women whose breast cancers ware detected too late or whose cancers are particularly aggressive and not well treated by current drugs.

description: In urban environments such as the New York-New Jersey Harbor Complex, contaminated sediments that fail toxicity test lead to large increases in dredging costs threatening the viability of port operations. Knowledge of what classes of contaminants contribute most to toxicity would aid in management decisions on source reduction and dredging options.  In this study, the sources, distribution, composition and concentration of the unresolved complex mixture (UCM) was measured in surface sediments collected from sites within the New York-New Jersey Harbor Complex to test whether the presence of UCM components can be related to the incidence of amphipod toxicity observed.  The report shows mixed evidence for a toxicological roles of UCM and petroleum hydrocarbons in affecting benthic deposit feeding organism, but places the issues of UCM bioaccumulation and toxicity into a  better context. The report also provides important information about the likely sources this important class of anthropogenic contaminants in the metropolitan NY/NJ Harbor complex, and discusses other effects that high concentrations of UCM may have on sedimentary environments in the system.

CIOCHIA (1973, 1979) fasst den Namen Meringopus in einem anderen Sinne auf als TOWNES (1970) und zahlreiche andere Autoren und betrachtet Meringopus als jüngeres Synonym von Goniocryptus (= Trychosis), weshalb er konsequenterweise die jetzt zu Trychosis gestellten Arten unter Meringopus anführt bzw. neu beschreibt. Meringopus albitarsis CIOCHIA wird deshalb hier zu Trychosis gestellt (nov.comb.), wo der Name durch Cryptus albitarsis CRESSON, 1864 praeokkupiert ist. Auf eine Neubenennung wird verzichtet, da vermutlich für die Art bereits ein anderer Name existiert.

description: Several mechanisms are involved in the invasion of tissues by, and metastatic spread, of tumor cells. Among these are loss of differentiation, differences in communication between cells and with the extracellular environment, activation of proteolytic enzymes and changes in intracellular transfer of signals. The abnormal cell behavior of invasive tumor cells is not the result of a single change but rather likely is caused by several interdependent events. The research during this sabbatical period will focus on mechanisms breast cancer cells use to communicate with each other and to sense their environment.

 The extracellular matrix plays a critical role in differentiation in the breast gland and in growth regulation, motility and death of the cells. In response to signals from the extracellular matrix, cells change shape as a result of precisely regulated rearrangements of proteins within the cell. These involve modifying enzymes, which act upon internal cytoskeletal proteins and regulate protein-protein interactions. It is believed that such signals are received by delicate and transiently formed extensions, called pseudopodia, which specifically recognize the extracellular matrix and transmit information for processing. These cellular structures are critical for cell movement and hence, for invasion of tissues and the ability of tumor cells to metastasize. Fluorescent derivatives of several relevant proteins will be prepared for introduction into mammary cells by microinjection and other methods. These cells will then be studied by time-lapse video and fluorescence microscopy.

 The ultimate goal of this research program is the ability to interfere with the invasive property of breast cancer cells.

First faunistic record for Croatia: Pongrácz 1944 [we consider this, the first Pannonian record of the species, the first exact record, because records prior to 1944 referred to the coastal area, where C. bornhalmi generally replaces C. brunneus]
Also reported as: Gryllus bicolor Charpentier, 1825 (Pungur 1899) (see Taxonomic note)
Distribution in Croatia: Widespread and common in the Pannonian region and Northern Dinaric Alps. In the Mediterranean area locally common, but generally replaced by C. bornhalmi, with which it hybridizes in numerous localities from Istria to Dinara Mt. (central part of the Dinaric Alps) (Skejo & Ivković 2015). All records from the coastal area before the description of C. bornhalmi are regarded doubtful (especially from the Southern Adriatic Islands and Dubrovnik area).
Distribution in Europe: Widespread, from the Northern Iberian Peninsula to the Balkans and from Ireland to Northern Finland (Hochkirch et al. 2016).
Taxonomic note: Gryllus bicolor Charpentier, 1825 is a junior subjective synonym of C. brunneus. However, the name has been used in the past for numerous Chorthippus spp. (e.g. C. biguttulus, C. mollis …), thus one should be careful when referring to historical records under this name.

description: The electronic cigarette (e-cig) industry generated over $2.5 billion in revenue in the United States last year and is predicted to pass traditional cigarette sales by 2023 and reach $50 billion worldwide by 2030. In 2014 in California, for the first time ever, the teen use of e-cigs surpassed the use of traditional cigarettes. This is a major concern for communities, researchers, healthcare professionals, and law-makers because there is very little research on the long-term health effects of e-cig use to inform policy. Does chronic nicotine e-cig use produce nicotine dependence and addiction-like behaviors? Does it produce changes in the brain? To address this issue, we have recently developed a novel animal model of nicotine e-cig vapor self-administration. However, we do not know the impact of chronic nicotine e-cig vapor self-administration on key neurobehavioral measures of nicotine addiction, and we do not know the impact of the other ingredients of electronic cigarettes. The overall goal of this proposal is to address these gaps in the literature using chronic nicotine e-cig vapor self-administration in male and female adolescent rats. Results from these studies will provide a preclinical model to evaluate the addictive potential of ingredients other than nicotine in e-cig vapor to complement human studies and inform users and policymakers. It will also identify the causal effects of chronic extended access to nicotine e-cig self-administration on the development of addiction-like behaviors and its impact on the brain. Results from these studies have the potential to rapidly impact multiple fields of research that are relevant to tobacco-related disease, including the cardiopulmonary, neuroscience, and experimental psychology fields. This model may also be particularly useful for investigating the neurobiology of nicotine addiction and developing new medications that seek to reduce nicotine dependence.

description: In this study, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (BDEs) were measured in atmospheric and water samples collected as part of two projects: the New Jersey Atmospheric Deposition Network (NJADN), and a previous grant from the Hudson River Foundation (HRF 004/99A) designed to measure exchange of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) between air, water and phytoplankton.  By re-analyzing samples collected as part of these two research projects, this study generated the first data set on BDE concentrations in the Harbor. This study had several objectives: To quantify BDEs in previously collected samples of air (gas and particulate) and water (dissolved and particulate phases) of the NY/NJ Harbor; To assess the partitioning of BDEs between gas and particle phases in the air and dissolved and particulate phases in Raritan Bay; To estimate the concentrations of BDEs in the phytoplankton of the estuary based on concentrations observed in suspended particulate matter; To investigate temporal trends in atmospheric concentrations of BDEs in the air of the NY/NJ Harbor watershed and compare these to trends observed for other semivolatile organic contaminants such as PCBs and PAHs; To assess the wet (rain) and dry particle atmospheric deposition of BDEs to the NY/NJ Harbor, and; To assess whether BDEs volatilize from or are absorbed by the waters of the NY/NJ Harbor.

APC mutants activate a pre-cancer program

description: The work to be proposed in the 2016 CRCC application represents a new direction for my lab. The focus is on the question of how normal cells are re-programmed prior to cancer onset in order to cope with the stresses caused by oncogene activation and aneuploidy. This question arose from our studies on chromosome instability in colorectal cancer, where we have shown that dominant, monoallelic mutations in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) frequently found in human cancers, perturb microtubule dynamics and cause mitotic failures in intestinal crypts. The new research direction developed from recent findings in my lab, which show that perturbation of cytoskeletal dynamics by APC mutants activate a unique cell stress pathway. This pathway results in an increase in expression of a subset of heat shock proteins (Hsps) through activation of the Hsf1 transcription factor - a master regulator of the cell stress response required for the development of many cancers. Significantly, we found that normal intestinal crypt cells adjacent to cancer lesions in APC mutant mice also have elevated Hsp levels and activated Hsf1, a state of cell re-programming that anticipates the changes in nearby cancer cells. The idea that non-cancer cells adjacent to lesions exhibit signs of cancer re-programming is reminiscent of the cancer field effect (a.k.a., “field cancerization”), first described in 1953 by Slaughter and colleagues. The cancer field is thought to represent a pool of cells that can transition to cancer cells, but the nature of the initiating events or signaling pathways needed to establish the cancer field has remained unclear. We propose that the activation of Hsf1 is part of a “pre-malignant” pathway that contributes to the cancer field and creates a permissive cellular environment for cancer cell transformation. The CRCC proposal will identify the full array of transcriptional changes associated with the pre-malignant pathway both in cell culture and in intestinal crypts. This data will support one specific aim of a larger NIH-RO1 proposal on this new research focus.

First faunistic record for Croatia: Ebner 1951
Distribution in Croatia: Reported from NW Dinaric Alps (e.g. Ebner 1951, Nagy 2006). Male calling song from Učka Mt., Kapela Mt. and Velebit Mt. close to Senj is similar to that of typical C. eisentrauti (Skejo, unpublished
data). Thorough taxonomic and biogeographic study has not been carried out yet, but is necessary to determine whether this species is present in Croatia, or these are hybrid populations between C. eisentrauti and C. biguttulus. Distribution in Europe: Endemic to the southern and eastern parts of the Alps. It ranges from the Haute-Alpes, just at the border to Italy in the west, over Val d´Aosta, Tessin and Graubünden in Switzerland along the southern edge of the Italian Alps eastwards to Southern Austria Northern Slovenia. It is very similar to the closely related Chorthippus biguttulus, so the precise distribution is often unclear and misidentifications (and even hybrids) are not rare (Zuna-Kratky et al. 2016).

First faunistic record for Croatia: this study
Distribution in Croatia: There is a single confirmed old record of this species from the northernmost part of the country (Varaždin, Košćec Collection). The species is probably extinct in Croatia (Hochkirch et al. 2016) and detailed research is necessary to confirm its potential presence in the country. Thorough morphological and bioacoustic comparison with other species from C. dorsatus aggregate— C. dorsatus and C. dichrous, is neccessary to assess true taxonomic state.
Distribution in Europe: Balkan Peninsula from Slovenia and Croatia (where it is probably extinct) (northern distrubution border) to Northern Greece (southern border) and Southern European Russia (eastern border) (Hochkirch et al. 2016).
