- Mechanisms and Therapeutic Applications of Immune Stimulatory Bacterial CpG DNA
-
- - Arthur M. Krieg, M.D., Coley Pharmaceutical Group (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- Unmethylated CpG dinucleotides in bacterial or viral DNA can engage the Toll-like receptor (TLR)9, thereby stimulating innate and adaptive immunity. These immune effects can be mimicked by synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG ODN). In humans only B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) express TLR9 and are activated directly by CpG ODN. Depending on the structure and sequence of the CpG ODN, at least three distinct classes of immune effects can be induced. Depending on their class, CpG ODN activate B cells to proliferate and secrete immunoglobulin; and pDC to secrete a variety of Th1-like cytokines, chemokines, and type I interferons, and to express increased costimulatory molecules. When activated by CpG, pDC gain the ability to stimulate Th1-like T cell responses.

-
- - Barry Everitt, Ph.D., Cambridge University (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- Associative learning impacts the establishment of addictive behavior. Both pavlovian and instrumental conditioning contribute to the development of compulsive drug-seeking and this will be illustrated by experiments using rats self-administering cocaine or heroin. The initial, goal-directed actions by which animals and humans self-administer cocaine can become compulsive and habitual, driven and maintained by the presence of drug-associated cues in the environment ??? cues that can also precipitate relapse after abstinence.

- Greater Potency of Adult Stem Cells
-
- - Catherine M. Verfaillie, M.D., University of Minnesota (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- The quintessential stem cell is the embryonal stem (ES) cell which has unlimited selfrenewal and multipotent differentiation potential. Stem cells have also been identified in most tissues. Compared with ES cells, tissue specific stem cells have less self-renewal ability and, although they differentiate into multiple lineages, they are not multipotent. A large number of recent published studies have suggested that tissue specific stem cells may have the ability to generate cells of tissues from unrelated organs.

- - Andrew Fire, Ph.D., Carnegie Institution of Washington (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
The genetic landscape faced by a living cell is constantly changing. Developmental transitions, environmental shifts, and pathogenic invasions lend a dynamic character to both the genome and its activity pattern. A variety of natural mechanisms are utilized by cells adapting to genetic change. These include normal developmental mechanisms and a subset of defense systems for responding to pathogens. At the root of these studies are questions of how a cell can distinguish "self" versus "nonself" and "wanted" versus "unwanted" gene expression.

- From Long-Term Gradients to Local Cell Shape Changes: How the Drosophila Embryo Controls Its Morphogenesis

- The NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
After the Drosophila embryo has completed thirteen rounds of nuclear division, it consists of a single cell with about 6000 nuclei. In the ninety minutes that follow, it undergoes a series of profound morphological changes that convert the syncytial embryo into cellular blastoderm in which the 6000 cells have assigned fates and undergo region-specific cell shape changes. In the past 15 years, we have learned a great deal about the gradients and transcription factors that control cell fate, but we know much less about the cell biological mechanisms that convert those cell fate decisions into actual cell behaviors. Because the cell changes and movement in Drosophila share common feature with the behaviors of cells in all embryos, it is likely that understanding those mechanisms will shed light on fundamental processes controlling cell adhesion, cytoskeletal dynamics, protein targeting and cell polarity.
