Characterization of Type III Effectors from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000

Creator:: Thireault, Caitlin
Abstract:: Many Gram-negative bacteria use a type III secretion system (TTSS) to establish a relationship with a host. Pathogens can use the secretion system as a way to deliver proteins known as type III effectors (TTEs) into a host cell and block host defense. The variation and redundancy of the type...

Method development for extraction and purification of dermal RNA from FVB/Nmice treated with environmental PAH mixtures

Creator:: Larkin, Andrew, Siddens, Lisbeth, and Krueger, Sharon
Abstract:: Epidermal RNA samples from FVB/N mice treated with PAH standards and environmental PAH mixtures were harvested and purified using Trizol extraction and RNeasy mini prep kit purification. Epidermal RNA integrity was low (RIN mean 3.5), indicating significant RNA degradation and the need to modify handling, collection, and processing of skin...

Biosorption Studies of Acid Green 3 Dye

Creator:: Torres, Martine I.
Abstract:: Abstract Current methods employed in the textile industry are unsustainable because they use an abundance of water in the dying process, and discharge the waste into the environment, causing adverse health effect on aquatic life and local communities. The technology that is in place to remove dye from textile effluents...

Effect of Perinatal Low Protein Diet on the expression of P-Glycoprotein and Organic Cation Transporter Novel-Type-2 in the Heart

Creator:: Alnakhli, Ali
Abstract:: Many studies in recent literature have shown a significant link between the abnormalities of a newly born individual and the type of environment that their mothers encountered during pregnancy. More specifically, over the last two decades, a discipline of research commonly known as “fetal programming” has linked abnormalities at birth...

A phenological examination of terrestrial invertebrate abundance at H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Mackereth, Kailan F.
Abstract:: Abstract Understanding the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems requires exploration of the relationships of different components of the system, such as the response of biota to local hydrology, temperature, precipitation, and elevation. The Long-term Ecological Research Program at the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, located in the Western...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Selective Adenosine Kinase Nucleoside Polymers for Inhalation Therapy

Creator:: Snow, Erika
Abstract:: Respiratory illnesses caused by both viral and bacterial infection are serious issues for global healthcare providers. With the emergence of new, drug-resistant forms of these diseases, innovative drugs and treatment therapies are needed. M tuberculosis is an infection that affects a large portion of the world’s population each year. Aerosol...

Optimization of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21 Growth using Different Carbon Sources and Copper Concentrations

Creator:: Soo, Steven W.
Abstract:: The purpose of this project was to optimize the biomass growth of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21. This was achieved by studying the effect of various concentrations of glucose, use of pure glycerol and purified crude glycerol as alternative carbon sources, and inhibition of cell growth with the presence of copper. The...

Phytochemical characterization of Fagonia indica and its effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line

Creator:: Kumbi, Yadano
Abstract:: Phytochemicals from the genus, Fagonia, have been attracting increasing attention due to their potential beneficial effects on human health, particularly, anti-cancer properties. Certain Fagonia species contain various types of phytochemicals such as saponins, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, and tannins. In this study, we investigated the phytochemical composition of a...

Impact of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Barrier Function Toxicity in 3D Lung Model from Normal and Asthmatic Donor Cells

Creator:: Huynh, Celine T.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to cause adverse health effects in the human lung. Here, we evaluated biomarkers relevant for PAH toxicity in a 3D human primary bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) model collected from normal and asthmatic donors. We previously found that PAHs decrease cellular barrier function integrity, which...

Addressing ALS: Corroborating the Methodology of Studying the P2X7R Complex

Creator:: Veytsman, Edward Y.
Abstract:: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the motor cortex and spinal cord. Recent evidence suggests that the purine receptor P2X7 (P2X7R) plays a central role in the pathology of ALS. Previous research indicates that P2X7R activation by oxidatively modified heat shock protein 90...
