基因组三维结构在基因表达调控中发挥重要作用,染色质拓扑关联结构域(topologically associated domain,TAD)是DNA复制和基因转录的基本功能单位,也是DNA损伤修复的功能单元,在辐射诱导的DNA损伤修复中发挥重要作用。近期研究表明,TAD并非是完全独立的结构单元,其内部常呈现多层级结构,对基因表达具有重要调控作用。为探究TAD多层级结构在细胞辐射响应中的作用,本研究使用TAD层级结构识别算法OnTAD对Gene expression omnibus数据库中5Gy X射线照射的淋巴细胞、成纤维细胞和毛细血管扩张性共济失调突变(ataxia telangiectasia mutated,ATM)基因缺陷的成纤维细胞,共26个样本的Hi-C(high-through chromosome conformation capture,Hi-C)数据进行分析,发现辐射后细胞的TAD层级结构出现规律性变化,高层级TAD缺失较多,低层级TAD相对保守;辐射诱导的TAD层级结构变化通过调节基因表达参与细胞辐射响应;ATM是辐射诱导TAD层级结构变化和恢复的重要因子。本研究为从TAD多层级结构角度理解基因组三维结构在细胞辐射响应中的作用提供了新思路。 相似文献

A neural mechanism for control of dynamics and function of associative processes in a hierarchical memory system is demonstrated. For the representation and processing of abstract knowledge, the semantic declarative memory system of the human brain is considered. The dynamics control mechanism is based on the influence of neuronal adaptation on the complexity of neural network dynamics. Different dynamical modes correspond to different levels of the ultrametric structure of the hierarchical memory being invoked during an associative process. The mechanism is deterministic but may also underlie free associative thought processes. The formulation of an abstract neural network model of hierarchical associative memory utilizes a recent approach to incorporate neuronal adaptation. It includes a generalized neuronal activation function recently derived by a Hodgkin-Huxley-type model. It is shown that the extent to which a hierarchically organized memory structure is searched is controlled by the neuronal adaptability, i.e. the strength of coupling between neuronal activity and excitability. In the brain, the concentration of various neuromodulators in turn can regulate the adaptability. An autonomously controlled sequence of bifurcations, from an initial exploratory to a final retrieval phase, of an associative process is shown to result from an activity-dependent release of neuromodulators. The dynamics control mechanism may be important in the context of various disorders of the brain and may also extend the range of applications of artificial neural networks. 相似文献

The vascular system of the mouse retina provides a useful model for analyzing the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating angiogenesis because (1) hierarchical vascular networks are newly formed only after birth, (2) the cellular components involved in angiogenesis are well characterized, and (3) all the processes are accessible for monitoring and manipulation. In this article, we present an overview of our current understanding of the process of retinal angiogenesis and describe a number of methodologies applicable to experimental manipulation of the retinal vascular system. 相似文献

A neural mechanism for control of dynamics and function of associative processes in a hierarchical memory system is demonstrated.
For the representation and processing of abstract knowledge, the semantic declarative memory system of the human brain is
considered. The dynamics control mechanism is based on the influence of neuronal adaptation on the complexity of neural network
dynamics. Different dynamical modes correspond to different levels of the ultrametric structure of the hierarchical memory
being invoked during an associative process. The mechanism is deterministic but may also underlie free associative thought
processes. The formulation of an abstract neural network model of hierarchical associative memory utilizes a recent approach
to incorporate neuronal adaptation. It includes a generalized neuronal activation function recently derived by a Hodgkin-Huxley-type
model. It is shown that the extent to which a hierarchically organized memory structure is searched is controlled by the neuronal
adaptability, i.e. the strength of coupling between neuronal activity and excitability. In the brain, the concentration of
various neuromodulators in turn can regulate the adaptability. An autonomously controlled sequence of bifurcations, from an
initial exploratory to a final retrieval phase, of an associative process is shown to result from an activity-dependent release
of neuromodulators. The dynamics control mechanism may be important in the context of various disorders of the brain and may
also extend the range of applications of artificial neural networks.

The hemopoietic system represents a complex adult developmental system which allows the study of mechanisms of stem cell proliferative control and differentiation commitment. It is likely that information obtained from this model system will have implications for control processes regulating other hierarchical systems in the developing embryo as well as in the adult animal. We have recently identified and isolated a potent inhibitor of hemopoietic stem cell proliferation which we have labeled SCI/MIP-1 alpha. This inhibitor is also active on clonogenic epidermal cells and may thus be a more general stem cell inhibitor than was previously believed. The biology of this peptide is outlined in more detail below and the potential roles for such a factor in the developing embryo are also discussed. 相似文献

We study the hierarchical self-assembly behaviour of ACB triblock patchy particles via Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations, where the product of the first stage is set as the initial structure for the second stage. We offer a promising design rule to investigate the assembly mechanism of ACB triblock patchy particles in selective solvent conditions by two-stage optimisation. At the first stage, the attractive hydrophobic interactions only exist between patches A at low concentration in order to generate subunits. At the second stage, the attractions also exist between patches B for studying the assembly process from subunits to target structures by heating/cooling method. By regulating the interactions between patches B as well as the concentrations of patchy particles, the ordered structures that determined by various influence factors are studied. Via properly designing the assembly models and routes, we can observe the formation process of simple cubic lattice and kagome lattice structures, respectively. The results reveal that the concentration and attractive strength play the critical roles in the whole process of hierarchical self-assembly. 相似文献

A computational intelligent system that models the human cognitive abilities may promise significant performance in problem learning because human is effective in learning and problem solving. Functionally modelling the human cognitive abilities not only avoids the details of the underlying neural mechanisms performing the tasks, but also reduces the complexity of the system. The complementary learning mechanism is responsible for human pattern recognition, i.e. human attends to positive and negative samples when making decision. Furthermore, human concept learning is organized in a hierarchical fashion. Such hierarchical organization allows the divide-and-conquer approach to the problem. Thus, integrating the functional models of hierarchical organization and complementary learning can potentially improve the performance in pattern recognition. Hierarchical complementary learning (HCL) exhibits many of the desirable features of pattern recognition. It is further supported by the experimental results that verify the rationale of the integration and that the HCL system is a promising pattern recognition tool. 相似文献

An environment to support the modeling, analysis, simulation, and development of state transition models, SMOOCHES (State Machines for Object-Oriented Concurrent Hierarchical Engineering Specifications), is presented. SMOOCHES allows the hierarchical construction, analysis, and simulation of state transition models in an object-oriented distributed environment. Statecharts (see Harel 1987b), a powerful mechanism for state transition specification, are fundamental to the development of SMOOCHES. To assist in the specification of hierarchical state transition models for distributed and reactive systems, statecharts are extended by introducing the concept of exit-safe states. SMOOCHES allows the specification of objects in the system with hierarchical state transition models and the derivation of new classes of objects through inheritance. A graphical monitoring system has been developed to represent and simulate the object state life cycles and monitor event generations. The example presented illustrates the modeling and simulation of different state life cycles of an assembly robot. 相似文献

Hierarchy theory recognises that ecological and evolutionary units occur in a nested and interconnected hierarchical system, with cascading effects occurring between hierarchical levels. Different biological disciplines have routinely come into conflict over the primacy of different forcing mechanisms behind evolutionary and ecological change. These disconnects arise partly from differences in perspective (with some researchers favouring ecological forcing mechanisms while others favour developmental/historical mechanisms), as well as differences in the temporal framework in which workers operate. In particular, long‐term palaeontological data often show that large‐scale (macro) patterns of evolution are predominantly dictated by shifts in the abiotic environment, while short‐term (micro) modern biological studies stress the importance of biotic interactions. We propose that thinking about ecological and evolutionary interactions in a hierarchical framework is a fruitful way to resolve these conflicts. Hierarchy theory suggests that changes occurring at lower hierarchical levels can have unexpected, complex effects at higher scales due to emergent interactions between simple systems. In this way, patterns occurring on short‐ and long‐term time scales are equally valid, as changes that are driven from lower levels will manifest in different forms at higher levels. We propose that the dual hierarchy framework fits well with our current understanding of evolutionary and ecological theory. Furthermore, we describe how this framework can be used to understand major extinction events better. Multi‐generational attritional loss of reproductive fitness (MALF) has recently been proposed as the primary mechanism behind extinction events, whereby extinction is explainable solely through processes that result in extirpation of populations through a shutdown of reproduction. While not necessarily explicit, the push to explain extinction through solely population‐level dynamics could be used to suggest that environmentally mediated patterns of extinction or slowed speciation across geological time are largely artefacts of poor preservation or a coarse temporal scale. We demonstrate how MALF fits into a hierarchical framework, showing that MALF can be a primary forcing mechanism at lower scales that still results in differential survivorship patterns at the species and clade level which vary depending upon the initial environmental forcing mechanism. Thus, even if MALF is the primary mechanism of extinction across all mass extinction events, the primary environmental cause of these events will still affect the system and result in differential responses. Therefore, patterns at both temporal scales are relevant. 相似文献

Analog forecasting is a mechanism‐free nonlinear method that forecasts a system forward in time by examining how past states deemed similar to the current state moved forward. Previous applications of analog forecasting has been successful at producing robust forecasts for a variety of ecological and physical processes, but it has typically been presented in an empirical or heuristic procedure, rather than as a formal statistical model. The methodology presented here extends the model‐based analog method of McDermott and Wikle (Environmetrics, 27, 2016, 70) by placing analog forecasting within a fully hierarchical statistical framework that can accommodate count observations. Using a Bayesian approach, the hierarchical analog model is able to quantify rigorously the uncertainty associated with forecasts. Forecasting waterfowl settling patterns in the northwestern United States and Canada is conducted by applying the hierarchical analog model to a breeding population survey dataset. Sea surface temperature (SST) in the Pacific Ocean is used to help identify potential analogs for the waterfowl settling patterns. 相似文献

The circulatory system is the first organ system that develops during embryogenesis, and is essential for embryo viability and survival. Crucial for developing a functional vasculature are the specification of arterial-venous identity in vessels and the formation of a hierarchical branched vascular network. Sprouting angiogenesis, intussusception, and flow driven remodeling events collectively contribute to establishing the vascular architecture. At the molecular level, arterial-venous identity and branching are regulated by genetically hardwired mechanisms involving Notch, vascular endothelial growth factor and neural guidance molecule signaling pathways, modulated by hemodynamic factors. MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that act as silencers to fine-tune the gene expression profile. MicroRNAs are known to influence cell fate decisions, and microRNA expression can be controlled by blood flow, thus placing microRNAs potentially at the center of the genetic cascades regulating vascular differentiation. In the present review, we summarize current progress regarding microRNA functions in blood vessel development with an emphasis on studies performed in zebrafish and mouse models. 相似文献
