Special Events Saturday, May 22 Trainee Professional Development Day • 9:00 AM–4:00 PM • Bayside & Linkside Conference Centers The Trainee Professional Development Day is an entire day devoted to scientific and career development activities for trainees. The day consists of a keynote address, an activity consisting of one-on-one blitz discussions, and a series of workshops on various topics. The goal of the Trainee Professional Development Day is to allow the next generation of biological rhythm researchers to learn from and interact with faculty members in a more informal and intimate setting. Trainees should attend the workshops they preselected during the registration process. Welcome Reception • 7:00–9:00 PM, Grand Lawn In case of inclement weather, the reception will be held in the Azalea Ballroom. SOCIETY FOR RESEARCH ON BIOLOGICAL RHYTHMS 3 Sunday, May 23 Meet the Professors • 10:30–11:00 AM daily • Magnolia A • All trainees welcome to attend (See “Meeting at a Glance” pages xx–xx for more details) Meet the Professor Sessions are meant to provide trainees (students and postdocs) the opportunity to interact with experienced faculty members in the field and to foster scholarly conversation. Each day a number of faculty researchers (see lists below) will make themselves available to discuss with trainees, in a dedicated room of the conference center. Any trainee interested in meeting these investigators can go to the meeting location (to be announced, check for signs) and be part in this informal gathering.

    Chronic Hyperaldosteronism in Cryptochrome-Null Mice Induces High-Salt- and Blood Pressure- Independent Kidney Damage in Mice

    Hypertension Research (2014) 37, 202–209 & 2014 The Japanese Society of Hypertension All rights reserved 0916-9636/14 www.nature.com/hr ORIGINAL ARTICLE Chronic hyperaldosteronism in Cryptochrome-null mice induces high-salt- and blood pressure- independent kidney damage in mice Dwi Aris Agung Nugrahaningsih1, Noriaki Emoto1,2, Nicolas Vignon-Zellweger2, Eko Purnomo1, Keiko Yagi2, Kazuhiko Nakayama1,2, Masao Doi3, Hitoshi Okamura3 and Ken-ichi Hirata1 Although aldosterone has an essential role in controlling electrolyte and body fluid homeostasis, aldosterone also exerts certain pathological effects on the kidney. Several previous studies have attempted to examine these deleterious effects. However, the majority of these studies were performed using various injury models, including high-salt treatment and/or mineralocorticoid administration, by which the kidney changes observed were not only due to aldosterone but also due to prior injury caused by salt and hypertension. In the present study, we investigated aldosterone’s pathological effect on the kidney using a mouse model with a high level of endogenous aldosterone. We used cryptochrome-null (Cry 1, 2 DKO) mice characterized by high aldosterone levels and low plasma renin activity and observed that even under normal salt exposure conditions, these mice showed increased albumin excretion and kidney tubular injury, decreased nephrin expression and increased reactive oxygen species production in the absence of hypertension. Exposure to high salt levels exacerbated the kidney damage observed in these mice. Moreover, we noted that decreasing blood pressure without blocking aldosterone action did not provide beneficial effects to the kidney in high-salt-treated Cry 1, 2 DKO mice. Thus, our findings support the hypothesis that aldosterone has deleterious effects on the kidney independent of high-salt exposure and high blood pressure.

  • Single-Cell Analysis on the Biological Clock Using Microfluidic

    Single-Cell Analysis on the Biological Clock Using Microfluidic

    SINGLE-CELL ANALYSIS ON THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCK USING MICROFLUIDIC DROPLETS by ZHAOJIE DENG (Under the Direction of Leidong Mao and Jonathan Arnold) ABSTRACT Single-cell analysis has become crucial for uncovering the underlying mechanism for cell heterogeneity. Different biological questions pose different challenges for single-cell analysis. In order to answer questions like, whether a single-cell has a biological clock and how the clocks synchronize among cells to overcome the heterogeneity, continuous long-term measurement on large numbers of single-cells is required. However traditional measurement techniques usually involve measurement on millions of cells. My dissertation addresses these challenges by developing a microfluidic droplet platform capable of measuring the biological clock on >1000 Neurospora crassa single-cells for up to 10 days. The results show that in Neurospora crassa a single cell has the three major properties of a biological clock: a circadian oscillator, light entertainment, and temperature compensation and that single-cells synchronize their biological clock with each other possibly through quorum sensing.
