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...

In search of ecological advantages : Mycorrhizal facilitation of big huckleberry Vaccinium membranaceum (Doug.)

Creator:: Stocking, Peter
Abstract:: Temperate evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest support big huckleberries (Vaccinium membranaceum) despite their nutrient impoverished soils. Acquisition of nitrogen and phosphorous are the major nutrients limiting V. membranaceum. The plant’s access to these resources is linked to their mycorrhizal symbiosis. To learn more about the symbionts of eriaceous plants...

Soil Fire Ecology: Assessing Wildfire Severity Impacts on Pacific Northwest Forest Soil Carbon

Creator:: Fleetwood, Shea
Abstract:: Pacific Northwest temperate rainforests are anticipated to experience increasingly frequent and severe wildfires in the foreseeable future due to climate change, increased fuel loads, and deforestation. Soil, underlying these forests, is the largest terrestrial carbon (“C”) reservoir. Fire disturbance influences soil C persistence, the timeframe and magnitude of which remain...

Metabolic Effects in C57B/6J Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet Supplemented with Chromium Picolinate and Chromium Yeast

Creator:: Yu, Wesley
Abstract:: An estimated total of 30.3 million people have diabetes in the United States, a disease characterized by chronic elevation in blood glucose which over time, can lead to a host of health problems. Currently the most common types of diabetes are type 1, type 2, and gestational. The principal hormone...

Light quality manipulation for the solvent extraction of phycocyanin from Oregon freshwater cyanobacteria

Creator:: Gregor, Katelin
Abstract:: Phycocyanin, a photosynthetic pigment-protein complex produced by cyanobacteria, has critical value in the medical field at high purity. Costs associated with the extraction of this pigment are high, emphasizing the importance of optimal growth conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate potential commercial producers of phycocyanin by evaluating...

Functional consequences of microRNA regulation by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in 3D human bronchial epithelial cells

Creator:: Mans, Michael-Andres D.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of contaminants ubiquitous in the environment and result from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Many PAHs have been identified as procarcinogenic, and are metabolized to form DNA adducts; however, other mechanisms also may contribute to toxicity and help explain differences in toxicity...

Enhancing Protocols to Improve Consistency Across Nanotoxicology Studies

Creator:: Luker, Sabrina R.
Abstract:: In current nanotoxicology research, there is a lack of standardization in reporting of zebrafish exposure media and sonication practices. This lack of standardization in use and reporting methods has made reproducing nanoparticle (NP) toxicity results between labs a common issue. It is important to have a standardized way of reporting...

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...

Understanding polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) toxicity and inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells

Creator:: Valdez, Teresa
Abstract:: There is increased emphasis on understanding cumulative risk from the combined effects of chemical and non-chemical stressors as it relates to public health. Recent animal studies have identified pulmonary inflammation as a possible modifier and risk factor for chemical toxicity in the lung after exposure to inhaled pollutants; however, little...

Reduced toxicity of benzethonium chloride to Escherichia coli through adsorption onto titanium dioxide nanoparticles

Creator:: Waldron, Kerri Raven
Abstract:: Antimicrobial agents are being increasingly used in consumer soaps and detergents, despite a lack of data demonstrating their efficacy in such products. This study investigated the nature of the interaction between different crystalline structures of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and BTC, and explore which structure, if any, could be best used...
