    Preview Episodes

    2.5 minutes

    If you're not listening to the preview episodes that precede each full episode (like this one), you're missing out on a lot!

    Each preview usually has these features:

    • Synopsis of topics coming up in the full episode
    • Word Dissection: segment dissecting terminology that'll be used in (or relates to) the full episode, just like we do for our own A&P students —to get us ready to fully experience the full episode.
    • The A&P Professor Book Club: recommendations from Kevin (and from listeners like you) regarding books of interest to A&P teachers

    But wait! There's more! Sometimes. Like in the preview episode for this full episode, there's a segment all about the features of the free TAPP app and Kevin plays a clip from a recent audio/video review of this podcast by podcasting experts.

    Syllabus Warnings

    16.5 minutes

    Kevin usually has a Warnings! page in his syllabus or other course documents. It contains three warnings about, and rationale explaining, some important things a student should know before continuing in the A&P course. There is shouting involved.

    Revisiting A&P Learning Outcomes | Episode 54 Oct 21, 2019
    Show notes

    Host Kevin Patton previews the newly revised HAPS Learning Outcomes for A&P, discussing the goals of the revision and samples a few of the changes. Why is noon a good time to get your flu shot? Are there neurons that actively erase memories? Vaping: why A&P teachers need to keep up with the news.

    It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning. (Claude Bernard)

    Timing of Vaccinations

    2 minutes

    With a new flu season upon us, vaccination is a timely topic. Recent research suggests that the time of day at which we receive our vaccination may influence it's effectiveness. At midday, CD8 T cells may respond more strongly than at other times of day.

    • Immune cells called T cells multiply after vaccination in the middle of the day. (journal news article) my-ap.us/2LOv2tN

    Neurons That Erase Memory

    Vaping

    5 minutes

    Vaping is a timely topic, considering the emergence of vaping-induced lung injury and other vaping-related conditions. Discussing the news about vaping, which is frequently updated, is appropriate in the A&P course. Following the story over the course of a year may helps students better understand human science.

    3 | Summary of the Discovery

    2 minutes

    • 2019-10-07: The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe, and Gregg L. Semenza for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability.
    • They identified molecular machinery that regulates the activity of genes in response to varying levels of oxygen.
    4 | Oxygen at Center Stage

    1 minute

    During evolution, mechanisms developed to ensure a sufficient supply of oxygen to tissues and cells.

    5 | HIF Enters the Scene

    3 minutes

    • Gregg Semenza studied the EPO (erythropoietin) gene and how it is regulated by varying oxygen levels.
    • In cultured liver cells he discovered a protein complex that binds to the identified DNA segment in an oxygen-dependent manner. He called this complex the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF).
    • HIF was found to consist of two different DNA-binding proteins, so called transcription factors, now named HIF-1α and ARNT.

    7 | VHL - An Unexpected Partner

    3 minutes

    • When oxygen levels are high, cells contain very little HIF-1α. However, when oxygen levels are low, the amount of HIF-1α increases so that it can bind to and thus regulate the EPO gene as well as other genes with HIF-binding DNA segments.
      • See figure (if you can't see it, go to https://my-ap.us/35fm0O6).
    • At about the same time as Semenza and Ratcliffe were exploring the regulation of the EPO gene, cancer researcher William Kaelin, Jr. was researching an inherited syndrome, von Hippel-Lindau's disease (VHL disease).
      • VHL is part of a complex that labels proteins with ubiquitin, marking them for degradation in the proteasome.
      • Ratcliffe and his research group then made a key discovery: demonstrating that VHL can physically interact with HIF-1α and is required for its degradation at normal oxygen levels. This conclusively linked VHL to HIF-1α.

    When oxygen levels are low (hypoxia), HIF-1α is protected from degradation and accumulates in the nucleus, where it associates with ARNT and binds to specific DNA sequences (HRE) in hypoxia-regulated genes (1). At normal oxygen levels, HIF-1α is rapidly degraded by the proteasome (2). Oxygen regulates the degradation process by the addition of hydroxyl groups (OH) to HIF-1α (3). The VHL protein can then recognize and form a complex with HIF-1α leading to its degradation in an oxygen-dependent manner (4). https://my-ap.us/35fm0O6

    8 | Oxygen sHIFts the Balance

    1.5 minutes

    • It was also shown that the gene activating function of HIF-1α was regulated by oxygen-dependent hydroxylation.
    • The Nobel Laureates had now elucidated the oxygen sensing mechanism and had shown how it works.
    9 | Oxygen Shapes Physiology & Pathology

    2 minutes

    • Thanks to the groundbreaking work of these Nobel Laureates, we know much more about how different oxygen levels regulate fundamental physiological processes.
      • For example, muscles, blood vessel formation, immunity, RBC production, placenta development, etc.
    • Oxygen sensing is central to a large number of diseases.
      • For example, patients with chronic renal failure often suffer from severe anemia due to decreased EPO expression. See figure (if you cant's see it, go to https://my-ap.us/2LW2cIb)

    The awarded mechanism for oxygen sensing has fundamental importance in physiology, for example for our metabolism, immune response and ability to adapt to exercise. Many pathological processes are also affected. Intensive efforts are ongoing to develop new drugs that can either inhibit or activate the oxygen-regulated machinery for treatment of anemia, cancer and other diseases. https://my-ap.us/2LW2cIb

    Evolution has played a role in making human hearts similar to chimpanzee hearts. The left ventricle is thick-walled and short—best suited for shorter and perhaps intense bursts of activity.

    2 minutes

    A new report suggests that left-handedness, which one in ten of us exhibit, is partially influenced by genes. One effect of these genes is to change the structure of our body cells' cytoskeleton. Of course, a lot more work has to be done. By left-handers and right-handers alike.

    We've all see various functional maps of the human brain. But once you get down to the smaller regions, or parcels, it gets weird. Beyond a certain resolution, things are very flexible. Because functions of tiny parcels vary with the state of that region of the brain in any given moment, we will probably not be able to produce a high-resolution functional map of the brain—even for any one individual.
