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.

"Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes."  (John Dewey)

glycoRNA

Yep, yet another form of RNA has been discovered. This "sugar-coated" RNA is a small, noncoding RNA called Y RNA that has been glycosylated with an N-glycan. What do glycoRNAs do? What does that mean? Listen and learn.

When our spelling is perfect, it's invisible. But when it's flawed, it prompts strong negative associations. (Marilyn vos Savant)

 

Is Spelling Important?

9.5 minutes

I've done a complete turnaround in my teaching over the years —I used to be lenient about correct spelling, but now I'm a stickler for exactly correct spelling. In this segment I discuss my reasons.

• Examples of commonly confused terms with similar spelling (many of these are from Shawn Macauley). See below for expanded list (handout).
  • perineum, peritoneum
  • peroneal, perineal, peritoneal
  • ileum, ilium
  • coronoid, coracoid
  • abduction, adduction, addiction

Alternate Spellings

3.5 minutes

Some terms can be correctly spelled more than one way. There is also an issue of differences in spelling from one dialect of English to another (e.g., U.K. English compared to U.S. English). If we are to expect our students to use correct spelling, we have to keep up with acceptable variations.

Timing of Vaccinations

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.

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

4.5 minutes

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. However, the heart is able to elongate and have a thinner wall to adapt to a lifestyle that features endurance activity.

  • " the human (LV) evolved numerous features that help to augment stroke volume (SV), enabling moderate-intensity EPA. We also show that phenotypic plasticity of the human LV trades off pressure adaptations for volume capabilities, becoming more similar to a chimpanzee-like heart in response to physical inactivity or chronic pressure loading."
