Symposium Session: Stem Cell Biology and Cell Therapy<br />

Approaches to Understanding Cellular Injury and Wound<br />

Healing in Dermal, Ocular, and Pulmonary Injury<br />

Chairperson(s): Jeffrey Yourick, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Fort<br />

Belvoir, VA, and John Graham, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute <strong>of</strong><br />

Dermal <strong>Toxicology</strong> Specialty Section<br />

Endorsed by:<br />

Ocular <strong>Toxicology</strong> Specialty Section<br />

Thermal and chemical burns as well as chemical injury to the skin, eye, and<br />

lung invoke a vast tissue and cellular response followed by the initiation <strong>of</strong><br />

wound healing mechanisms. Stem cells may be defined as undifferentiated<br />

cells that have the capacity for self-renewal and may differentiate into many<br />

different cell types when stimulated by specific cellular signals. Injury to<br />

stem cell tissue populations has immense implications for normal repair and<br />

restoration <strong>of</strong> tissue function after chemical injury. Research on stem cells,<br />

such as epidermal stem cells, dermal stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells<br />

and embryonic stem cells all have potential to repair and restore structure<br />

and function to the skin and eye after extensive injury. An overview <strong>of</strong><br />

recent advances in dermal, ocular, and pulmonary induced injury related to<br />

stem cells will be presented along with potential stem cell and other cellbased<br />

therapies as they relate to tissue repair and wound healing.<br />

Symposium Session: Uncovering the Role <strong>of</strong> Non-Coding<br />

Over the past ten years non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as<br />

pivotal players in fundamental physiological and cellular processes and have<br />

been increasingly implicated in cancer, immune disorders, and cardiovascular,<br />

neurodegenerative, and metabolic diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs)<br />

represent a class <strong>of</strong> ncRNA molecules that are predicted to post-transcriptionally<br />

regulate the expression <strong>of</strong> 30–60% <strong>of</strong> all human protein-coding<br />

genes and as such, miRNAs play key roles in cellular and developmental<br />

processes, human health, and disease. Recently, miRNAs have surfaced as<br />

targets <strong>of</strong> developmental, hepatic, neurological, and carcinogenic toxicological<br />

agents, and have increasingly been identified as putative regulators<br />

<strong>of</strong> phase I xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes. We will highlight impactful<br />

research demonstrating the growing understanding <strong>of</strong> the role <strong>of</strong> miRNAs in<br />

toxicological modes <strong>of</strong> action, study the mechanisms <strong>of</strong> miRNA-mediated<br />

toxicity in a variety <strong>of</strong> emerging model systems.<br />
