  • Properties of Transmitter Release at the Hair Cell Afferent Synapse
    • - Glowatzki, Elisabeth.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Cochlear hair cells convert sound signals into receptor potentials and subsequently, at their afferent synapses with auditory nerve fibers, into firing rates that are relayed to the central nervous system. Hair cell ribbon synapses, like retinal ribbon synapses, are highly specialized for fast and continuous glutamate release. The presynaptic ribbon???s role is poorly understood, however, it has been proposed to support the continuous release of vast numbers of vesicles. The activity pattern of auditory nerve fibers is quite diverse, firing rates at rest can vary from less than 1 AP per s to 150 APs per s, and in response to sound, fibers activate with different thresholds and show diverse rate level functions. Auditory nerve fibers with different response patterns can contact the same inner hair cell in the cochlea. Therefore, properties of the auditory nerve fiber activity must be set at the individual hair cell ribbon synapses.

    The Glowatzki lab studies the pre- and postsynaptic properties at inner hair cell ribbon synapses that set and modulate auditory nerve fiber properties. Mostly dendritic whole cell recordings from auditory nerve fibers directly where they contact the hair cell are used in excised cochlear tissue, sometimes parallel with hair cell recordings. Lately we have characterized the calcium dependence of release at the hair cell synapse and found it to be linear (Goutman and Glowatzki, 2007). We are now investigating the mechanisms and role of multivesicular release at the hair cell ribbon synapse. In my talk I will elaborate on different modes of release at individual synapses that may play a role in setting auditory nerve fiber properties.

  • Control of Tumor Promotion and Metastatic Progression by Inflammatory Signaling
    • - Karin, Michael.

    • - Category : Special
    UC San Diego???s Dr. Michael Karin will describe his recent work on the role of inflammatory processes in the development of tumor metastasis. His research in prostate and lung cancer models supports the hypothesis that metastasis is driven not only by genetic alterations in cancer cells, as previously thought, but is also highly dependent on dynamic and reciprocal interactions between cancer cells and inflammatory cells. Inflammatory cells are recruited into tumors to produce pro-metastatic cytokines, which activate critical signaling pathways required for metastasis.

    • - Category : Immunology
    Dr. Locksley received his MD from the University of Rochester and did post-graduate training at UCSF as well as the University of Washington. He is a leading authority on the differentiation and function of CD4+ T lymphocytes in the context of both infection and allergy. Rich co-discovered the dichotomy in Th1/Th2 function that determines the outcome of Leishmania major infection and elucidated the critical regulatory role of Th2 derived IL-4 in disease exacerbation in this model. He and his colleagues at UCSF went on to describe the factors determining the development of Th1 vs Th2 responses in resistant vs susceptible mouse strains and helped identify the immunodominant LACK Ag, an important target for protective immunity in the L. major model. Rich and his group have also made fundamental discoveries concerning the regulation of the genes encoding IL-4 and the other Th2 cytokine family members and the basis of their co-ordinate regulation. This work led naturally to a major interest in cellular factors involved in the induction of Th2 inflammation and the recent discovery of the role of chitin and chitinases in the allergic response. Such studies have benefited enormously from the use of cytokine reporter mice, a tool co-pioneered by the Locksley group. Rich has enormous insights concerning the genetic basis and functional significance of CD4+ T cell subsets and in his role as director of the Sandler Center at UCSF has become a leading authority on immunologic approaches for intervention in Th2 inflammatory disease.
