MOLECULAR AND PHENOTYPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF DISTINCT BREAST CANCER CELL SUBPOPULATIONS PURIFIED USING A SOX2 REGULATORY REGION 2 TRANSCRIPTION ACTIVITY REPORTER
DownloadFall 2015
Sex-determining Region Y-box 2 (Sox2) is a transcription factor integral to the maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. In recent years, Sox2 expression has been detected and implicated in the pathogenesis of breast and other cancers. Clinically, Sox2 expression has been associated...

Molecular Characterization of the Tumor and Metastasis Suppressor Activity of Plakoglobin in Mutant p53 Expressing Carcinoma Cells
DownloadFall 2018
Plakoglobin (γ-catenin) is an Armadillo protein family member and a paralog of β-catenin with similar dual cell-cell adhesion and signaling activities. These proteins interact with cadherins at the membrane and mediate cell-cell adhesion. In the cytoplasm, they interact with an array of cellular...

Molecular imaging of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and autotaxin (ATX) in cancer using positron emission tomography (PET)
DownloadFall 2020
Positron emission tomography (PET) relies on the use of β+-emitting radionuclide-bearing molecules congregating and decaying at a specific site of interest. Use of these molecules, called radiotracers, which target common tumor characteristics has become a pillar in the diagnosis of cancer and...

Radiation therapy targets cancer cell death by overwhelming cells with harmful DNA damage. Understanding how cells repair radiation damage and in particular how they become resistant to radiation therapy is important for effective cancer treatment. Our lab made the novel discovery that Bcl10, a...

Notch regulates the growth-promoting nitric oxide cGMP-dependent pathway in epithelial ovarian cancer and ovarian surface epithelium cells
DownloadSpring 2014
El-Sehemy, Ahmed Ali Ahmed Ali
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of mortality among gynecologic cancers. There are several subtypes of ovarian cancer, amongst which epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) makes up to 90% of all ovarian cancers. The current treatment for EOC consists of debulking surgery followed by a...

Novel Insights into the Role of O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase in Glioblastoma Angiogenesis, Invasion, and Proliferation
DownloadFall 2012
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by aberrant angiogenesis, rapid proliferation, and widespread invasion through the brain parenchyma. Thus, the prognosis for these tumors remains extremely poor despite aggressive multimodal treatment including chemotherapy with the alkylating agent...

Novel radiation-activated Photodynamic Therapy (radioPDT) Theranostic Nanoparticle for Treatment of Deep-seated Tumors
DownloadSpring 2020
Radiotherapy is used in the treatment of 50% of all cancer patients. It has evolved into a high precision therapy in cancer care. Radiotherapy’s main limitation is the damage incurred on normal tissue. Advances in modern radiotherapy allowed for improved precision in delivery and optimizes its...

Novel radiotracers for the molecular imaging of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) using positron emission tomography (PET)
DownloadFall 2015
Cancer remains one of the most prevalent causes of death in the western world. Effective treatment of this disease relies on the ability to diagnose patients early and assess response to treatment accurately. This can be achieved by monitoring the expression of biomarkers relevant to the type...

Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Cancer Therapy Based on Targeting the Human DNA Repair Enzyme Polynucleotide Kinase/Phosphatase
DownloadFall 2018
The relentless growth of tumors is triggered by a complex array of molecular changes such as DNA damage, disruption of cell-cycle progression, uncontrolled proliferation and escaping cell death. Various therapies have been developed to treat cancer, many of which kill cancer cells by damaging...
