Biology and Prognostic Value of N-Myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) and NMT2 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
DownloadFall 2017
Myristoylation is the post-translational modification of proteins with a 14-carbon fatty- acid by N-myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) or NMT2. Myristoylation is key to protein membrane binding and cell survival. Bioinformatics data suggests NMT mRNA expression impacts overall survival (OS) in AML. We...

Deciphering the Biological Basis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Relapse Using a Novel In-Vitro Study Model
DownloadSpring 2024
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy associated with a poor clinical outcome that is largely attributed to disease relapses. Treatment options for relapsed AML patients are limited; after relapse, the median survival is only ~6 months. The biology underlying...

Evaluation of Targeted Selective Inhibitors to Enhance Temozolomide Treatment Sensitivity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
DownloadSpring 2024
Temozolomide (TMZ) is an alkylating agent with limited activity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) enhances tumor cell resistance to TMZ. B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) and mouse double minute 2 homology (MDM2) are proteins involved in AML...

Background: In metabolic disease statues, such as diabetes and obesity, dyslipidemia is characterized by a dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, due in part to elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-TG) production and secretion by the liver. Further, these metabolic...

In-line Ozonolysis coupled to Mass Spectrometry- A New Dimension of Structural Determination for Lipids
DownloadFall 2014
The location of double bonds within unsaturated lipids can greatly affect their biological functions. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has become a powerful tool for lipid separation and structural elucidation. However, the determination of double bond position remains...

J-Coupling Effects on Quantification of the 1.3 ppm Lipid Methylene Resonance with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 3 T
DownloadFall 2015
Quantification of 1.3 ppm lipid methylene protons by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been shown to be relevant to a number of diseases. Additionally, T2 estimation of 1.3 ppm methylene protons has been used to grade the metastatic potential of colon tumours. J-coupling...
