SUMMARY:Developmental and Cell Biology Seminar Series with Irene Chiolo
DESCRIPTION:Highways for Repair: Nuclear Actin Filaments and Myosins Drive Relocalization and Repair of Heterochromatic DNA Breaks \nJoin the UCI BioSci Department of Developmental and Cell Biology in a virtual seminar with Irene Chiolo\, Associate Professor of the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Southern California. \n\nAbstract \nPericentromeric heterochromatin accounts for ~30% of fly and human genomes and is mostly composed of repeated DNA sequences prone to aberrant recombination. Defective double-strand break (DSB) repair of heterochromatin results in widespread genome instability\, a major driving force for tumorigenesis. Genome instability is also a leading cause of aging-related diseases and contributes to developmental defects\, sterility\, and neurological and neuromuscular degeneration in several genetic syndromes. And yet\, repair mechanisms in heterochromatin have been woefully understudied. Using Drosophila cells\, our pioneering studies have identified a striking relocalization of repair sites to the nuclear periphery for ‘safe’ homologous recombination (HR) progression. SUMOylation has a pivotal role in this pathway\, by blocking HR inside the domain and promoting relocalization. We have also uncovered a remarkable network of transient nuclear actin filaments and myosins driving directed motions to the nuclear periphery\, and we have identified highly conserved pathways in mammalian cells. More recently\, we have discovered a role for nucleoporins in mobilizing repair sites ‘off pore’\, likely through phase separation. Ultimately\, we expect these studies to open new avenues for cancer treatment and for developing more effective strategies to address aging-related disorders and neurological/neuromuscular diseases.

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Dr. Beth Stevens
DESCRIPTION:(Re) Defining Myeloid Cell States and Function in Alzheimer’s Disease \nJoin the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory in a virtual colloquium with Dr. Beth Stevens\, Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard University. \nAbstract: Emerging evidence from genetic association studies shows that dysregulation of the brain’s immune system plays a key role in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disease. Our research aims to identify and validate disease mechanisms informed by human genetics and identify functional and mechanistic markers of myeloid and glial cells in detrimental states\, before cognitive decline\, that can be readily detected through imaging and fluid biomarkers. Using single-cell RNA sequencing\, spatial transcriptomics and proteomic approaches we identified molecular signatures that can be used to localize and monitor distinct microglia functional states in human and mouse brain. Our results show that microglia assume diverse functional states in development\, aging and injury\, including populations corresponding to known microglial functions including proliferation\, migration\, inflammation\, and synaptic phagocytosis. In addition\, we identified several innate immune pathways by which microglia recognize and prune synapses during development and in models of disease\, including the classical complement cascade. Illuminating the mechanisms by which developing synaptic circuits are sculpted is providing important insight on understanding how to protect synapses in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases of synaptic dysfunction.

SUMMARY:CNLM Virtual Colloquium  with Corey Harwell\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Development and diversity of neural cell types in the septum \nThe CNLM will be hosting Dr. Corey Harwell\, from the Department of Neurobiology of Harvard Medical School\, in a virtual colloquium where he will present his latest research. \nAbstract: The septum is ventral forebrain structure responsible for the regulation of emotional states including anxiety\, fear and depression. The septum contains an extremely diverse array of short- and long-range projecting GABAergic neurons distributed across its two histological subdivisions\, the medial and lateral septal nuclei. Both of these regions are heavily interconnected with other brain areas. It is currently unclear how septal neuronal diversity and circuit wiring are specified during development. Using molecular genetics and single-cell/nuclei RNA-seq we have begun to unravel the developmental logic for producing diverse neural cell types in the septum. Our future work is focused on understanding the specific contribution of developmentally specified neural cell types to the regulation of internal states carried out by the septum.

SUMMARY:LAMP Seminar - Dr. Andy Shih
DESCRIPTION:Optical Dissection of Brain Capillary Function \nJoin the UCI Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic for a virtual seminar featuring Dr. Andy Shih\, Assistant Professor at the Seattle Children’s Research Institute & University of Washington. \nAbstract \nMy laboratory uses in vivo multiphoton imaging and rodent models to shed light (quite literally) on regulation of cerebral blood flow. In particular\, we have focused recent attention on the vast capillary networks that distribute blood throughout the brain. We use light to both visualize capillary structure and flow\, as well as noninvasively manipulate neurovascular cells that control capillary flow. We specialize in the application and development of in vivo multi-photon imaging approaches to study brain microvascular structure and function in rodents. Our recent findings include the construction of capillary networks during early postnatal development\, regulation of blood flow in adulthood by capillary pericytes\, and capillary changes in gray and white matter that may contribute to metabolic insufficiencies during aging and dementia. I firmly believe that our efforts will provide a unique and physiologically relevant view of microvascular function\, dysfunction\, and repair\, and will yield strategies for protecting vascular function in diseases that degrade the brain’s microvasculature.

SUMMARY:UCI MIND Seminar Series: Jessica Rexach\, MD\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Functional Genomics Approach to Neuronal-Glial Mechanisms in Neurodegenerative Dementias \nJoin UCI MIND for an in-person seminar featuring Jessica Rexach\, M.D.\, Ph.D. \nJessica Rexach\, MD\, PhD \nDr. Rexach is an Assistant Professor and board certified neurologist at University of California Los Angeles. She currently holds the John Douglas French Alzheimer’s Foundation Endowed chair. Dr. Rexach studies how molecules of the immune system contribute to neurodegenerative disease. Different neurodegenerative dementias have different causal genes\, suggesting they result from distinct causal mechanisms. This includes glial and immune genes\, whose roles in the CNS are unclear. In this talk\, Dr. Rexach will highlight her recent ongoing works with the tools of functional genomics and how her lab leverages dementia genetics and genome-wide molecular disease phenotypes to generate unbiased\, data-driven models of neural-glial mechanisms of disease.  Dr. Rexach and her team use experimental systems\, including iPSC-derived spheroids and glia\, to test data-driven hypotheses in order to advance disease mechanisms and identify candidate drug targets. \nFor questions\, contact vswarup@uci.edu and bmander@hs.uci.edu

SUMMARY:Eve Marder\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Perturbations Reveal that Degenerate Circuits Hide Cryptic Individual Variability \nThe Department of Neurobiology and Behavior will be hosting Eve Marder\, professor of biology at Brandeis University\, for a James L. McGaugh Distinguished Lecture. \nAbstract: \nMore than 40 years of work on the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system on the cardiac sac\, gastric mill\, and pyloric rhythms have described numerous instances of circuit reconfiguration by neuromodulation and sensory inputs. These reconfigurations can involve alterations in the frequency and phases relationships of rhythms\, and switching of neurons from participating in one circuit to another. Computational works shows clearly that there are multiple\, degenerate sets of parameters that can result in similar output patterns. Motivated by this\, we have studied the effects of several different perturbations on STG networks\, revealing animal-to animal differences in their responses that are not evident without extreme perturbation

SUMMARY:UCI MIND Seminar Series: Elizabeth Mormino\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Subtyping Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease: Typical\, Atypical\, and Resilient \nDr. Mormino is an assistant professor of Neurology at Stanford University\, and is currently serving on the Imaging Core Steering committee for the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center. She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at UC Berkeley in the laboratory of Dr. William Jagust\, where she performed some of the initial studies applying Amyloid PET with the tracer PIB to clinically normal older individuals. During her postdoctoral fellowship with Drs. Reisa Sperling and Keith Johnson at Massachusetts General Hospital she used multimodal imaging techniques to understand longitudinal cognitive changes among individuals classified as preclinical AD. Although amyloid abnormalities are common among clinically normal older adults\, and associated with elevated risk of future progression to clinical impairment\, we remain unable to predict future risk at the individual participant level. Although group level effects related to amyloid status are present\, trajectories of cognitive decline vary across individuals. In this talk\, Dr. Mormino will highlight her tau PET work\, which has emphasized more heterogeneity in the spatial patterns of tau PET uptake than expected. This pattern suggests that multiple subtypes exist within preclinical AD\, and that these subtypes are likely associated with distinct risk profiles (typical\, atypical\, and resilient). Subtyping preclinical AD is critical for the design of prevention trials\, as well as to establish a more complete understanding of mechanisms related to early AD processes. \nFor questions\, contact vswarup@uci.edu and bmander@hs.uci.edu
