  • Functional analysis of novel β-catenin mutants

    Creator:
    Al-Fageeh, Mohamed B.
    Abstract:
    β-catenin is a multi functional protein that is involved in cell-cell adhesion and cell signaling. In non-stimulated cells, β-catenin is tightly down-regulated by GSK-3β-dependent phosphorylation at Ser and Thr residues, followed by rapid ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. It is well established that mutations within the regulatory GSK-3β region lead to...

  • 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...

  • A novel mechanism of chemoprevention by sulforaphane : inhibition of histone deacetylase

    Creator:
    Myzak, Melinda C.
    Abstract:
    Targeting the epigenome, including the use of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, is a novel strategy for cancer chemoprevention. Sulforaphane (SFN), a compound found at high levels in broccoli and broccoli sprouts, is a potent inducer of Phase 2 detoxification enzymes and inhibits tumorigenesis in animal models. SFN also has a...
