Displacement-based fluorescent microRNA biosensors : design principles and analytical metrics

Creator:: Larkey, Nicholas E.
Abstract:: One post-transcriptional mechanism that regulates the progression of cancer and other diseases involves small 22-23 nucleotide sequences called microRNA (miR). Early detection of small changes in concentration of these biomarkers holds potential to diagnose diseases at their earliest stages. Use of current nucleic-acid based biosensors, like molecular beacons, for in...

Suppression of Met signaling by the green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)

Creator:: Larsen, Christine A.
Abstract:: Met is a prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer patient survival. Therapies that target Met may therefore have beneficial outcomes in the clinic. Recently, EGCG was reported to suppress Met activation, although the mechanisms were not elucidated. HCT116 and HT29 human colon cancer cells were used to examine the relationships between...

Age-related loss of Nrf2, a novel mechanism for the potential attenuation of xenobiotic detoxification capacity

Creator:: Smith, Eric Jonathan
Abstract:: Nuclear Factor, Erythroid Derived 2, Like 2 (NFE2L2 or Nrf2) is the primary transcription factor in cellular defense against oxidative and xenobiotic stresses in higher eukaryotes. This basic leucine zipper transcription factor regulates over 200 antioxidant, detoxification, and lipid metabolizing genes by binding to the Antioxidant Response Element (ARE; a...

Polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis and type 2 diabetes complications

Creator:: Tripathy, Sasmita
Abstract:: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease of multi-complications affecting more than 20 million US adults. Hyperglycemia is the classic clinical feature of diabetes, and uncontrolled hyperglycemia leads to deadly health complications. Thus, control of blood glucose represents a major goal for diabetics. Human and rodent studies revealed another...

The genus Caenorhabditis : a system for testing evolutionary questions

Creator:: Raboin, Michael J.
Abstract:: Caenorhabditis elegans is arguably the best understood animal on the planet. Used for over 50 years to study development, we have a vast amount of knowledge of the inner workings of this worm. Our knowledge is incomplete, however, without placing this organism in its evolutionary and ecological context. In this...

Modulation of metabolic syndrome by soy isoflavones : in-vitro and in-vivo models

Creator:: Luo, Ting
Abstract:: Metabolic syndrome is a problem affecting people around the world. In a number of studies, soy intake has been documented to possess antidiabetic and anticardiovascular effect. My project is focused on the impact of the intake of compounds found within soy, the isoflavones, their impact on metabolic syndrome symptoms, and...

Critical windows of transplacental carcinogenesis : identifying efficacious approaches to chemoprevention with dietary phytochemicals

Creator:: Castro, David J.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a re-emerging class of environmental pollutants. The persistent nature of these highly toxic compounds along with their ubiquity in the environment creates an unavoidable route of exposure. The developing fetus and neonate are a particularly susceptible population due to their incomplete complement of xenobiotic metabolizing...

Chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic properties of whole cruciferous vegetables and phytochemical components in acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma

Creator:: Shorey, Lyndsey E.
Abstract:: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) encompasses a spectrum of lymphoid progenitors that have undergone malignant transformation and clonal proliferation at various stages of differentiation. Some cases of ALL have been documented to have prenatal origins and in particular neonatal exposure to various environmental pollutants is associated with increased disease risk, including...

DHA and Low-fat Low-cholesterol Diets as Treatment Strategies for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Creator:: Lytle, Kelli Anne
Abstract:: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by the accumulation of excess neutral lipids within the parenchymal cells of the liver. The primary etiology is diet-induced and most often exists as a comorbidity with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and/or Type 2 Diabetes. The development of excess liver lipid can be self-limiting...

Translational Studies of the High Molecular Weight Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon, Dibenzo[ def,p] Chrysene; Carcinogenesis and Metabolism

Creator:: Madeen, Erin
Abstract:: The objective of this work is to add to the body of translational data between high dose animal model research and the environmentally relevant human metabolism of the persistent pollutant dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC). We furthered the knowledge of gene/exposure interactions by determining the carcinogenesis risk based on Cyp1b1 genotype following in...
