Abstract:
Mechanoreception detects physical forces in the senses of hearing, touch, and proprioception. Here, we show that labellar mechanoreception wires two motor circuits to facilitate and terminate Drosophila feeding. Using patch-clamp recordings, we identified mechanosensory neurons (MSNs) in taste pegs of the inner labella and taste bristles of the outer labella, both of which rely on the same mechanoreceptor, NOMPC (no mechanoreceptor potential C), to transduce mechanical deflection. Connecting with distinct brain motor circuits, bristle MSNs drive labellar spread to facilitate feeding and peg MSNs elicit proboscis retraction to terminate feeding. Bitter sense modulates these two mechanosensory circuits in opposing manners, preventing labellar spread by bristle MSNs and promoting proboscis retraction by peg MSNs. Together, these labeled-line circuits enable labellar peg and bristle MSNs to use the same mechanoreceptors to direct opposing feeding actions and differentially integrate gustatory information in shaping feeding decisions.

Abstract:
TEM and SEM electron microscopy have been used to study osphradia in 6 species of marine Caenogastropoda. The ultrastructural features of mechanoreceptor cells that perform the Littorina osmoreception function in osphradium organs are presented. Mechanoreception is based on a possible change in the volume of cisterns of microvilli of supporting cells, which can be transmitted by the cilia of nearby mechanoreceptor cells. These cells obviously, have mechanosensory channels on the apical surface. It has been first discovered in predatory molluscs actively searching for food, that single receptor cells with a mobile sensilla consisting of several cilium were joined together. They are located along the groove zone and follow the direction and force of the movement of water along the osphradium petals.

Abstract:
I will briefly review the history of the bill sense of the platypus, a sophisticated combination of electroreception and mechanoreception that coordinates information about aquatic prey provided from the bill skin mechanoreceptors and electroreceptors, and provide an evolutionary account of electroreception in the three extant species of monotreme (and what can be inferred of their ancestors). Electroreception in monotremes is compared and contrasted with the extensive body of work on electric fish, and an account of the central processing of mechanoreceptive and electroreceptive input in the somatosensory neocortex of the platypus, where sophisticated calculations seem to enable a complete three-dimensional fix on prey, is given.

Abstract:
The importance of visual, mechanoreceptive and auditory inputs to escape responses was examined in larvae of the Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) presented with a simulated predatory stimulus. Ontogenetic changes in the retina, superficial neuromasts and auditory bullae were examined in concert with behavioral trials in which sensory inputs were selectively blocked. Menhaden larvae showed a decrease in cone photoreceptor density and first developed rod photoreceptors when their total length (TL) reached 8­10 mm; they began summing photoreceptive inputs at 12­14 mm TL. Inflation of the auditory bullae was complete by 15 mm TL. The proliferation of superficial neuromasts varied depending on their location, with cephalic superficial neuromasts decreasing in number beginning at 19 mm TL and numbers of trunk neuromasts continuing to increase throughout the larval period. In behavioral trials, responsiveness and the reactive distance to the approaching probe increased with increasing larva total length when all sensory inputs were available (control larvae). When visual inputs were blocked, responsiveness was lower than in control larvae, but still increased ontogenetically, while reactive distance showed no difference between control larvae and those lacking visual information. When neuromasts were ablated, ontogenetic increases in responsiveness and reactive distance were absent. Inflation of the auditory bullae had no discernible effect on behavior. The anatomical and behavioral results suggest that both vision and mechanoreception are used to trigger a response to a looming predatory stimulus and that mechanoreception, but not vision, contributes to the timing of the response. Ontogenetic improvements in performance are attributed mainly to neuromast proliferation and not to ontogenetic changes in the retina.

Abstract:
The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is an aquatic diving reptile with a periodic breathing pattern. Previous work has identified pulmonary stretch receptors (PSR), both rapidly- and slowly-adapting, and intrapulmonary chemoreceptors (IPCs) that modulate breathing patterns in alligators. The purpose of the present study was to identify the effects of prolonged lung inflation and deflation (simulated dives) on PSR and/or IPC firing characteristics in the alligator. The effects of airway pressure, hypercapnia, and hypoxia on dynamic and static responses of pulmonary stretch receptors (PSR) were studied in juvenile alligators (mean mass = 246 g) at 24°C. Receptor activity appeared to be a mixture of slowly-adapting PSRs (SARs) and rapidly-adapting PSRs (RARs) with varying thresholds and degrees of adaptation, but no CO2 sensitivity. Dives were simulated in order to character receptor activity before, during, and after prolonged periods of lung inflation and deflation. Some stretch receptors showed a change in dynamic response, exhibiting inhibition for several breaths after 1 min of lung inflation, but were unaffected by prolonged deflation. For SAR, the post-dive inhibition was inhibited by CO2 and hypoxia alone. These airway stretch receptors may be involved in recovery of breathing patterns and lung volume during pre- and post-diving behavior and apneic periods in diving reptiles. These results suggest that inhibition of PSR firing following prolonged inflation may promote post-dive ventilation in alligators.

Abstract:
Using three-dimensional Schlieren-based videography, males of the freshwater alpine species Hesperodiaptomus shoshone (Wyoming) were found to follow both conspecific females and conspecific males, remaining 0.45 ± 0.13 cm (male) and 0.56 ± 0.13 cm (female) from the lead copepod for 0.91 ± 0.35 seconds (male) and 0.84 ± 0.46 seconds (female). Trail following is initiated when the male makes a rapid reorientation. Chemical pheromones either were not produced by the female or were not detected by the male because males would follow trail mimics composed of female-conditioned water. Using unconditioned water, males were found capable not only of following trail mimics but they showed a preference, quantified as a higher follow frequency, of trails running at speeds matching that of their female mate. Remarkably, the male copepods always followed upstream, micro-casting between the edges of the trail to remain on track. Trails flowing at speeds matching their mate’s swimming speed were followed for a longer period of time and at greater gross distance. As the flow speed of the trail mimic increased, the distance the copepod would advance would decrease until the threshold speed of 2.30 cm/sec at which it would not follow a trail and only station hold. Station holding has never been observed before for copepods and may represent an adaptive behavior to avoid being washed out of their resident alpine pond. At speeds greater than that evoking station holding, the stream seemed to push the copepod out of the flow even though the copepod would make repeated efforts to swim up the stream. This research revealed a behavior not documented before: instead of relying on discrete pulses of flow left by hopping copepods, this high alpine lake copepod followed smoothly swimming mates or continuously flowing thin streams, relying only on sensing hydrodynamic cues.

The aim of this study was to describe the initial development of pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus, with emphasis on the ontogeny of the sensorial structures. Embryos and larvae were serially sampled during development, from the 9 hours after fertilization (haf) to the 25 days after hatching (dah), and subjected to the morphology, histology and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The embryonic development of the species is fast: about 19 haf (at 26,5 ± 0,5°C), larvae hatch in an altricial state (3.19 ± 0.04 mm notochordal length - NL; 0.477 ± 0.061 mm3 yolk-sac volume - YSV). At hatching, the sensorial system development is limited: in the olfactory epithelium, there are ciliated sensorial neurons and microvillous sensorial neurons; the mechanoreceptors are restricted to the immature otic neuromast; the development of the inner ear is incipient, with two otoliths in each otic capsule, but larvae do not show neither stability in the water column or coordination of their movements; the eyes have no or few pigment, with lens differentiated and separated from the cornea, and non-stratified retina. However, the post-embryonic development of the sensorial system is accelerated: from the 1 st dah the olfactory epithelium is covered by a dense layer of non sensorial cilia, which are distributed in the olfactory vesicle and in the epithelium region around it; at 2,5-3 dah, the eyes are totally pigmented; from the 4th dah it is possible to identify solitary chemosensorial cells in the post-otical region;...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Abstract:
Endothelial cell (EC) function is affected by forces generated by flowing blood on the arterial wall (wall shear stress, WSS). Unidirectional WSS and laminar flow occurs in unbranched areas of the arteries, which are protected from atherosclerosis, whereas oscillatory WSS and “disturbed flow” occurs at branch points, where the majority of atherosclerotic plaques are initiated. EC can sense forces via multiple mechanoreceptors including β1- integrin, which induces downstream signalling in response to WSS. Although EC can distinguish between unidirectional and oscillatory WSS, the mechanisms that control this are unknown. We hypothesized that mechanoreceptors are activated by specific mechanical conditions which trigger downstream signalling, i.e. some mechanoreceptors are activated by unidirectional WSS whereas others are activated by bidirectional force. We examined the effect of flow direction and frequency of oscillation on calcium signalling and how the mechanical activation of β1- integrin contributes to these responses. We found significant differences in calcium dynamics in ECs exposed to different flow conditions. Using magnetic beads, unidirectional force but not bidirectional force applied directly to apical β1- integrin induced its conversion from a bent inactive to an extended active form. Furthermore, application of unidirectional force to β1- integrin induced calcium release from the inner stores of the endoplasmic reticulum. Finally, studies using pharmacological inhibitors revealed that phospholipase C and ROCK regulate the calcium responses triggered by mechanostimulation of β1- integrin. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that distinct endothelial mechanoreceptors respond to different flow patterns. My work suggests that β1- integrin functions as a mechanoreceptor that can distinguish between different force directions.

Abstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising cell source for tissue engineering applications, given their ease of isolation and multi-potential differentiation capacity [1]. Passive and active mechanical signals can direct MSC lineage commitment [2], however, the subcellular machinery that translates physical cues to biologic response remains unclear. Direct deformation of the nucleus may influence differentiation by inducing mechanical reorganization of nuclear chromatin. Because the nuclei of differentiated cells are stiffer than progenitor cells [3], it is possible that such mechanoregulatory mechanisms vary with differentiation state. Lamin A/C is a filamentous protein that largely defines nuclear shape, size and stiffness [3]. Recent work suggests that Lamin A/C also regulates chromatin organization and transcriptional activity [4]. Recently, we have developed an in vitro system to direct the functional differentiation of MSCs into fibrochondrocytes, using electrospun polymeric nanofiber substrates [5]. Alignment of nanofibers directs cell alignment, allowing external forces to be applied uniformly along the long axes of cells, emulating the mechanical microenvironment experienced by embryonic progenitors during fibrous tissue morphogenesis [6]. We have noted, however, that as MSCs undergo fibrochondrogenesis, translation of scaffold deformation to nuclear deformation is attenuated [7]. From those studies, it was not clear whether this was due to changes in cellular mechanics or to accretion of extracellular matrix during differentiation. Thus the objective of the present work was to specifically identify how fibrochondrogenesis of MSCs on aligned nanofibrous scaffolds alters nuclear mechanics and mechanoreception, and further to ascertain whether mechanical stimulation alone can elicit similar mechanoregulatory changes.

Abstract:
Bone cells are adaptive to surrounding mechanical conditions. Osteoblasts, one of bone cells, have been reported to be sensible to mechanical stimulation and change the generated bone mass. Activation of the signaling molecules in relation to the initial mechanoreception appears to be mediated though changes in the cytoskeleton. In this study, we propose a method to visualize cytoskeletal actin fibers in a living osteoblast under applied shear deformation and measure the local deformation of actin fibers. Transfection of MC3T3-E1, which is an osteoblast-like cell line, with GFP-actin was performed using a transfection reagent. Shear deformation was applied to the cell using a micropipette. As a result of the experiment, it is shown to be able to recognize the specific points such as points crossed by the actin fibers and obtain the local deformation vectors of the actin fiber network at the specific points in the cell. The present method contributes to not only obtaining the deformation distribution of actin fibers in cells but also understanding the mechanotransduction mechanisms.

Abstract:
Humans can discriminate surface roughness using fingertip’s touch. It is believed that surface roughness is perceived by static and dynamic deformation of human skin. Recent findings have shown that subcutaneous slowly adapting mechanoreceptor (SA) detect static deformation of finger skin. However, there are difficulties to infinitely increase density of SA in limited skin space. [1] So, we focused on dynamic deformation is related with rapidly adapting mechanoreceptor (RA). In the process of scanning surface of objects with fingertips, RA detects vibrations induced by skin deformation. In this study, we suggest that sensors mimicking roles of RA can detect surface roughness. We used a polymer having similar characteristics of skin surface that transduce physical vibrations into electrical signal. And an array of polymer structures discriminates surface roughness. In other researches, they were tried to use one mechanoreceptor to acquire total range of vibrations. From the point of view which RAs have different vibration sensing ranges, we divided range of vibration through polymer structures and analyzed frequency element.

Abstract:
Mechanoreceptor neurons were studied in an isolated rat skin preparation subjected to dynamic biaxial stretch. The strength of the relationship between neuronal responses and mechanical variables was determined using multiple logistic regression. The experimental protocol allowed the normal stresses as well as the maximum shear stress to be manipulated. In n=4 neurons, response was associated with the time rate of change of normal stress and this response was affected by the direction of loading. There was no relationship between response and the value of maximum shear stress. There was a strong association with the rate of change of maximum shear stress.
