#SFN2019 to 2012: Hiding the facts (2)

By: James V. Kohl | Published on: October 17, 2019

Polycomb repressive complex 1: Regulators of neurogenesis from embryonic to adult stage extends our 1996 claims in From Fertilization to Adult Sexual Behavior to all ethnic diversity in morphology and behavior via alternative splicings of pre-mRNAs.
The term use began to change from pre-mRNAs to microRNAs. I learned that from the abstract of a presentation at SFN 2012, and followed up on the presentation with others who were presenting posters that mentioned microRNAs.
I had already presented during the 2012 ancillary meeting of the Society for Social Neuroscience Presentation. That is why the term microRNA interested me.  I asked if microRNAs were the link to all downstream effects on cell type differentiation, and the speaker said “That’s what we have learned during the past ten years.”
See why that fact is important. This is what I presented in 2012:

Human pheromones and nutrient chemicals: epigenetic effects on ecological, social, and neurogenic niches that affect behavior.

Background: The 2007 iteration of the “FDA Critical Path Initiative” (FDACPI) is a systems biology approach to disease prevention and pharmacogenomics. It stresses the need to examine healthy behavioral development by including interactions among the evolved gene, cell, tissue, organ, organ-system pathway. This pathway links the epigenetic effects of nutrient chemicals and pheromones directly to the organization and activation of behavior in species from honeybees to humans.

The 2011 American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Public Policy Statement: ‘Definition of Addiction’ dictates the integration of the FDACPI’s neuroscientific principles of epigenetic cause and effect, which are required to understand differences between genetically predisposed brain disease, naturally occurring variations of behavioral development, and choice. These neuroscientific principles include focus on how sensory input influences behavior.

ASAM specifically mentions food and sex along with drugs and alcohol. Each of these influences chemically conditions changes in hormones and in behavioral responses.

Study design: Nutrient chemical signals are associated with food odors. Pheromones are chemical signals associated with social odors and sex differences. We incorporated what is currently known about the ability of chemical signals to condition behavior. This conditioning occurs via epigenetic effects that calibrate and standardize the molecular biology of intracellular signal transduction and stochastic gene expression, which controls the feedback loops of developmental processes required for movement, ingestion, reproduction, and the diversification of species from microbes to man.

Method: Pre-existing, adaptively evolved, nutrition dependent, hormone-driven, cyclic peak fertility in fourteen women was assessed by a non-invasive measure of luteinizing hormone (LH). During a double-blind social construct, the women were exposed for fifteen minutes to a man who had applied either a control mixture (n=7), or a mixture of androstenol/androsterone (n=7). Both mixtures contained the same masking odor. Summary: Evaluated video recordings of interactions showed increased flirtatious behaviors of women, which were statistically attributed to the effect of androstenol on LH and the unconscious affect of androsterone. Measures of self-reported increased attraction correlated with the increased flirtatious behaviors.

Conclusions: Across species comparisons of epigenetic effects on nutrition dependent and hormone-driven invertebrate and vertebrate social and sexual behavior indicate that the androstenol/androsterone mixture contains pheromones, which may increase opportunities for properly timed reproductive sexual behavior. Neuroscientifically established epigenetic effects of sensory input on hormones that affect behavior suggest that this mixture of human pheromones causes changes in ecotypically organized neural pathways that directly link nutrient chemicals and social niches to 1) neurogenic niches; 2) the molecular biology of evolved neural circuitry; 3) genetically predisposed physiological changes, and to 4) unconscious affects on behavior in species from invertebrates to mammals. The molecular biology is conserved and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance establishes the pre-existing genetic variation. Our results tentatively extend epigenetic effects on intracellular signaling, gene expression, hormones, and unconscious affects on behavior, which are due to food odors and pheromones in insects, to socioaffective neuroscience in people despite pre-existing genetic variation and phenotypic differences in nutrition dependent hormone-driven development of the brain, and differences in the development of social and sexual behaviors.

Summary of our facts about human pheromones:
It subsequently became clear that microRNAs were the link from pre-existing genetic variation to all phenotypic differences in the nutrient-dependent hormone-driven development of the brain, and differences in the development of social and sexual behaviors.
Food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled biophysically constrained viral latency has since been linked from the light-activated assembly of the microRNA-RNA-peptide nanocomplex to every aspect of biodiversity across kingdoms.

Obfuscaton

What happened with the term pre-mRNA when it was changed to microRNA obfuscated pattern recognition with use of older non-descriptive terms such as  ‘polycomb repressive complex’ instead of ‘microRNA-RNA-peptide nanocomplex’ which has also been referred to as the ‘Skp1/cullin/F-box (SCF) complex.’
The different names for the same nanocomplex have been linked to healthy longevity or to cancer via use of the terms such as ‘spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia’ in the context of transthiolation, a fundamental biological reaction that is utilized by many enzymes such as the light-activated ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, cdc34.
But, only the names have changed. The facts link light-activated microRNA biogenesis from the Creation of enzymes to all biodiversity on Earth. MicroRNA biogenesis is required to biophysically constrain viral latency, which is required for the genesis of all biophysically constrained biodiversity.
I reiterate. For confirmation of the facts, which have not changed, see these presentations during the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience

For the historical perspective on works from E. J. NESTLER, see: Transgenerational Epigenetic Contributions to Stress Responses: Fact or Fiction? 3/25/16

Despite the two extremes of disbelief versus wild speculation, there is growing evidence for at least some contribution of epigenetic regulation—perhaps achieved by miRNAs—in mediating part of the ability of parental behavioral experience to influence stress vulnerability in their offspring.

Growing evidence has turned into overwhelming evidence that energy-dependent biophysically constrained microRNA-mediated viral latency is required for the the transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of healthy longevity.

The take home message from the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience should be something the helps biologically uninformed theorists and other science idiots accept the facts that link nutrient stress and or social stress to all pathology via the works of Bruce S. McEwen.

These findings provide preclinical evidence supporting a therapeutic window of opportunity for estrogen-based management of hypertension as women transition through menopause.
