| INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY | $141,798.00 | Grant | Trans-NSF Recovery Act Research Support Natural disturbances such as fires and pests are the primary factors influencing landscape patterns and processes over broad parts of the Earth. In the montane forests of the North American west, insect outbreaks and fire constitute the dominant disturbance agents, while climate change may be an increasingly important complicating factor. Disturbances are influenced by processes occurring across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. They therefore can produce spatio-temporal patterns that can be studied in a nested hierarchical fashion. Interactions between species, such as among plants and their insect pathogens, may also be so characterized. The investigators will examine how abiotic and biotic disturbances interact using the ponderosa pine-pandora moth model system. In particular, they are interested in how disturbance ecology drives diversification in both organisms across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Ponderosa pine ecosystems are chosen as they constitute one of the most important commercially logged forests in the western United States. The native pandora moth is the most widespread insect defoliator of ponderosa pine trees, and is an important concern of forest managers. Pandora moth outbreaks produce characteristic tree-ring patterns that can be detected through the dendrochronological techniques also used to detect and date fire events and climatic conditions. Tree-ring reconstructions will be developed for pandora moth, climate, fire, and stand-age structure from ten strategically located plots within the range of the ponderosa pine-pandora moth system. The ten resulting chronologies will be examined for cyclic patterns with wavelet analysis to help distinguish the relative influences of episodic insect outbreaks, drought, and fire. The investigators will also conduct reconstructions of all of these environmental variables to document the spatial and temporal scales over which they operate, providing specific reconstructions for forest managers at each site. Spatial patterns of genetic diversity and relationships among populations of the pandora moth will be determined from DNA-based genetic markers and analyzed in conjunction with the other analyses. The findings have the potential to result in a large network of insect outbreak histories, one that eventually will span the entire spatial extent of the pine-moth system. This network will enable analysis of insect outbreak dynamics on spatial scales that have not previously been explored, and will provide an important framework that can be used to generate and test hypotheses regarding the interaction of multiple disturbances, and the processes driving diversification in ponderosa pine and pandora moth. The results produced by this study will provide a framework for future investigations into the disturbance ecology and evolutionary biogeography of plant-herbivore systems. The research will result in a broad network of tree-ring chronologies that will fill gaps in the International Tree Ring Data Bank holdings. This project also provides resources for the involvement of a team of undergraduate and graduate students as well as K-12 teachers in the field research and laboratory analyses.

| INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY | $320,115.00 | Grant | Trans-NIH Recovery Act Research Support Most behavioral traits have complex bases and are the result of interactions between multiple genes and/or environments. Therefore, advancing our knowledge of human behavior will require an understanding of the genetic, epigenetic, and environmental bases of traits. Traditionally, it has been difficult to study the interplay between genes and environment in humans and laboratory animal models, because in the former, we often do not know 'environment', while in the latter, there is little, if any, environmental variance. In addition, if we are to truly understand human behavior, it is necessary to tease out the various evolutionary forces that have contributed to its development and persistence. Given these desires, a new animal model emerges as a standard for behavioral genomics - the white-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) exhibits a stable genetic polymorphism that is associated with variation in morphology, physiology, and behavior. We have amassed 22+ years of detailed data on this species making it possible to identify the genetic, epigenetic, and environmental bases of behavior. Our long-term objectives are to establish the white-throated sparrow as a valid model for behavioral genomics, to determine the relative influence of genetics, epigenetics, and environment on complex behavioral phenotypes, and to further our understanding of the genetic bases and diversity of human behavior. Our central hypothesis is that suites of behavioral genes are inherited as co-adapted gene complexes and that the 'success' of the resulting phenotypes is highly dependent on the degree of restructuring of orchestrated gene cascades and environmental effects. The rationale for this study is that by identifying the genetic basis of behavior, we will more fully understand the generation and maintenance of behavioral diversity. To accomplish our goals, we will use a series of genomic approaches, combined with behavioral assays, to identify genes that influence aggressive, social, sexual, and parental behavior. We have narrowed the scope of our original proposal to fit within a 2-year time frame by focusing our efforts on a few key genes (e.g. POMC, ESR1) and by reducing the extent of our field and captive studies. The research is timely in that it builds upon a strong foundation of genomics studies in birds, yet it is also innovative, in that it focuses on a species where the linkage between phenotype and genotype is absolute. Findings gathered from our research on this new higher vertebrate model will contribute to the mission of the NIH by providing fundamental and comparative knowledge about the nature of human behavior. In addition, our results will provide insight into other genetic traits (e.g. disease) associated with gene rearrangement Show more... | National Institutes of Health | 9/17/2009 |
| INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY | $123,073.00 | Grant | Trans-NIH Recovery Act Research Support Angiogenesis is required for the growth and metastasis of cancers. One of the critical events that occurs during tumor formation, is the remodeling of the angiostatic vascular microenvironment to a pro-angiogenic microenvironment. This remodeling provides pro-angiogenic communications to vascular endothelial cells (ECs) that are critical for normal and pathological angiogenesis. Therefore, therapeutic interventions that disrupt communications between ECs and their microenvironment represents a potential approach for inhibiting angiogenesis and cancer. Unfortunately, there remains a great deal to learn about the microenvironment molecules that regulate angiogenesis and the molecular mechanisms by which these molecules functions. To address this problem, we recently conducted a microarray based transcriptome analysis of ECs undergoing angiogenesis in vitro. We identified 39 secreted proteins that were not previously associated with angiogenesis. Our first analysis of this data set was performed by employing a retroviral overexpression strategy in endothelial cells. Overall, this approach confirmed that two out of seven investigate proteins (i.e. MAGP-2 and lumican) control angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. The overall goal of the parent grant to which this revision application is amended is to characterize the molecular mechanisms by which MAGP-2 promotes angiogenesis. We have made significant progress on this project and have determined that MAGP-2 controls angiogenesis by interacting with Notch signaling pathways. Ongoing experimentation in the parent grant is dissecting the molecular details by which MAGP-2 manipulates Notch signaling and the role of endothelial specific MAGP-2 containing granules in angiogenesis regulation. While this project will help us to understand basic aspects of angiogenesis regulation, it does not seek to pursue additional regulators of angiogenesis present within the original microarray data set. This is a missed opportunity since it is highly likely that additional novel regulators of angiogenesis remain to be discovered in our original microarray data. The goal of this revision application is to discover and characterize additional stromal and cell membrane bound regulators of angiogenesis that were not investigated in the initial analysis of our microarray results. This is an important and focused project that based on prior success, has a high probability to uncover novel regulators of angiogenesis. Importantly, in accord with the R15 funding mechanism and the ARRA, the proposed projects will provide outstanding training opportunities for student researchers, will make a strong investment in an institution that has not received significant NIH funding, and therefore will help drive economic recovery in rural Indiana. We propose two specific aims to achieve our goals. In aim 1, we will identify additional stromal and cell membrane bound regulators of angiogenesis. To accomplish this, we will employ a morpholino based knockdown approach of candidate genes in zebrafish embryos to determine if these genes are important regulators of angiogenesis. The effect of gene knockdown will be monitored by microangiogram analysis of Fli1-GFP + GATA-1 RFP double transgenic zebrafish lines. This approach will allow us to rapidly and efficiently screen through the remaining putative regulators of angiogenesis in our original microarray data. In aim 2 these new putative regulators of angiogenesis plus additional genes identified in aim 1 will be monitored for either pro- or anti-angiogenic activities. To accomplish this, candidate genes will be overexpressed and/or knocked down in mammalian endothelial cells and compared to their control counterparts for altered angiogenic activities including cell invasion, proliferation, sensitivity to angiogenic growth factors, and formation of capillary-like structures.
