Everyone Can Play A Part In The Recovery Journey

(H and I) Fluorescence images (H) and statistical data (I) showing that the M cell diveded in fed animals but remained undivided in 4-, 7-, or 11-d–starved L1 wild-type and mir-71(lf) worms. (E) Fluorescence and DIC images showing that the unc-31 3′UTR reporter was repressed in mir-71(+)worms (2/2 transgenic lines) but not in mir-71(lf) worms (4/4 transgenic lines). We found that the reduced survival rate of ain-1 was suppressed by either reduction of age-1 function or loss of unc-31 function (Fig. 1 B and C), suggesting that a significant portion of the overall miRNA functions in L1 diapause is upstream of, or in parallel to, the InsR pathway. Previous studies indicate that the InsR pathway plays a dominant role in regulating L1 starvation survival and that reducing the activity of the insulin receptor daf-2, the PI3Kinase age-1, or the upstream regulator unc-31 results in increased L1 starvation survival rate (2, 3). The two ain-1 loss-of-function alleles displayed significant reductions in L1 starvation survival rate. We found that ain-1 but not ain-2 mutants displayed a significant reduction in L1 starvation survival rate compared with that of wild type (Fig. 1 A and D).
(C) The reduced L1 starvation survival rate of ain-1(lf) mutants was significantly suppressed by a null allele of unc-31. Compromising overall miRNA function dramatically reduces the survival rate of L1 worms in starvation-induced diapause, and the effect can be significantly suppressed by an age-1/PI3K mutation. Our genetic analysis indicated that for both L1 diapause survival and developmental recovery functions, miR-71 regulates expressions of genes in both the insulin receptor-dependent and -independent pathways. (F) Fluorescence and DIC images showing that an hbl-1 3′UTR reporter was repressed in mir-71(+) worms and slightly derepressed in mir-71(lf) mutants. (E) DIC images showing that hbl-1(RNAi) caused precocious VPC divisions in late L2/early L3 in both wild-type and mir-71(lf) worms recovered from 4 d of L1 starvation. (C) Bar graph showing that the delayed VPC timing defects of mir-71(lf) worms was suppressed by an unc-31(lf) mutation and partially suppressed by an age-1(rf) mutation.

• And worst of all, a combination of the two, where other players essentially become supporting cast for a scripted victory that is neither earned, nor fun, nor remotely playful – a psychodrama rather than a game, toying with their victims rather than playing with them.

• Because the InsR pathway was previously shown to play a prominent role in L1 diapause (2, 3), we examined genetic interactions between miR-71 and different components of the InsR pathway.
• We provide evidence that miRNA miR-71 is not required for the animals’ entry into L1 diapause, but plays a critical role in long-term survival by repressing the expression of insulin receptor/PI3K pathway genes and genes acting downstream or in parallel to the pathway.

Games without play are contests or performances, or both – but not true games. Conversely, having abundant experience of respect and gratitude for fellow players can help us develop habits of moderation, perspective, self-control, and empathy when it comes to non-game frustrations. Rather, we should be – you guessed it – intelligently curating and sharing the more pro-social alternatives, and giving people context and vocabulary for their engagement with culture. Not by running “don’t play Monopoly” campaigns, any more than we run “don’t read mass-produced paint-by-numbers genre pulp that robotically replicates toxic social norms” or “don’t watch reality exploitation TV” campaigns. Our job is to intelligently curate and share the worlds of culture and information in service to our communities, helping people find context and vocabulary for their engagement with the wider world. And as we’ve discussed above, simply offering the kind of safe, supported opportunities to play that we’d want to offer anyway is enough to create that space for healing.

Knocking down lit-1 by RNAi in mir-71(lf); lin-42(lf) double mutants caused no significant suppression of the VPC timing defects of mir-71(lf) worms. To determine the functional relationship of miR-71 with LIN-42 and LIT-1, mir-71(lf); lin-42(lf) L1 worms were starved for 4 d and recovered on lit-1(RNAi) plates. The strong suppression of the mir-71(lf) defect by hbl-1(RNAi), and the relatively weak effect of miR-71 on hbl-1 expression, are consistent with the idea that miR-71 exerts its role by modulating activities of multiple genes related to hbl-1 function in developmental timing. We then compared the expression of a hbl-1 3′UTR reporter (18) in the mir-71(lf) mutants with that in wild type and found that the expression of this reporter was slightly derepressed at L3 in the mir-71 mutant (Fig. 4 F and G).

The overall effect of miRNAs on L1 starvation survival is expected to be significantly stronger than that reflected by the data in Fig. These results suggest that miRNAs act in the intestine, and possibly in other tissues, to promote L1 starvation survival. However, the mechanisms that coordinate the long-term survival, overall developmental arrest, and reinitiation remain to be investigated.

How can families cope with relapse during a loved one’s recovery?

The coordinated entrance into developmental arrest, long-term survival, and the reinitiation of development upon food availability are important biological processes to investigate. Different organisms have developed versatile growth arrest strategies to overcome starvation-induced metabolic and developmental problems. Food deprivation is a life-threatening challenge that animals frequently face as individuals and as species. Numerous animal species across multiple phyla enter developmental arrest for long-term survival in unfavorable environments and resume development upon stress removal.

Playing The Tape Forward: A Foundation For My Sobriety

Components of the InsR pathway, including age-1, have recently been predicted to be targets of miR-71 in its role in aging (14). On the other hand, the role of a particular miRNA (miR-71) is executed by repressing the expression of many genes in multiple pathways. These results compelled us to examine specific interactions between individual miRNAs and their targets to gain mechanistic insights. This result is also consistent with the prediction from a miRISC immunoprecipitation analysis that hbl-1 is likely a target of one or more miRNAs, in addition to the let-7 family miRNAs, during early development (18). This result suggests that miR-71 likely functions upstream of, or in parallel to, HBL-1 in regulating VPC timing.

In contrast, the mir-71(lf) mutant worms recovering on hbl-1(RNAi) displayed precocious VPC divisions similar to that seen in wild type (Fig. 4E). Consistent with the observation described above, the 4-d–starved mir-71(lf) mutants recovering on the RNAi control plates displayed the highly penetrant retarded defect in VPC division. (D) Bar graph showing that the delayed VPC timing defect of mir-71(lf) worms was enhanced by daf-16(lf) after 1 or 3 d of L1 starvation.
