Fall 2023
Polysialic acid (polySia) is a long homopolymer of sialic acid residues that has profound consequences for the proteins it is attached to. Its expression is restricted in healthy human adults to the nervous, reproductive, and immune systems. It contributes to neuronal development and plasticity...

A proteome-level analysis of the canola/Sclerotinia sclerotiorum interaction and sclerotial development
DownloadFall 2010
The fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is capable of infecting over 400 plant species including canola (Brassica napus L.). The fungus secretes oxalic acid (OA), which plays an important role in infection and disease progression. An analysis of proteome-level changes...

The simultaneous quantification of all biological molecules, from metabolites to proteins, holds the key to discovering molecular signatures that can diagnose diseases before irreversible damages have occurred in the body. Recent advances in the field of liquid chromatography coupled mass...

Each individual chromatogram is typically very sparse, especially when coupled with a technique such as mass spectrometry. Only a small portion of the recorded data actually contains potentially useful information. Since the inclusion of irrelevant information will have detrimental effects upon...

An investigation of aminoglutethimide cytotoxicity and its role in activation of cell death signaling pathways
DownloadFall 2013
Aminoglutethimide (AG), a drug used for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancers, is known to cause toxicities such as agranulocytosis. To investigate its toxicity mechanisms, we have used quantitative proteomic analysis to gain insight into the proteome of Human Leukemia 60 (HL-60) treated...

Analytical and Toxicological Characterization of Novel Nitrogen Containing Disinfection Byproducts
DownloadFall 2012
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are an unwanted consequence of water disinfection. Consumption of chlorinated drinking water has been associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer; however, the DBP or DBPs responsible has not been identified. The N-nitrosamines are a class of DBPs that are...

Fall 2016
Antemortem identification of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) patients is initially based upon clinical presentation of the disease. Symptoms are assessed in combination with results from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and...

Application of Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry to Study Protein-Ligand Interactions and Enzyme Kinetics
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis describes the development and application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to study the noncovalent protein-ligand interactions and also investigate the kinetic of enzymatic reactions. The rate of glycolipids cleavage by the human neuraminidase 3 (hNEU3) was...

Arterial retention of remnant lipoproteins ex-vivo is increased during insulin resistance due to increased arterial biglycan and production of cholesterol-rich atherogenic particles, that can be improved by ezetimibe in the JCR:LA-cp rat
Download2012
Russell, James C., Proctor, Spencer D., Uwiera, Richard R. E., Vine, Donna F., Mangat, Rabban, Hassanali, Zahra, Cheeseman, Christopher I., Borthwick, Faye, Warnakula, Samantha
Background Literature supports the “response-to-retention” hypothesis—that during insulin resistance, impaired metabolism of remnant lipoproteins can contribute to accelerated cardiovascular disease progression. We used the JCR:LA-cp rat model of metabolic syndrome (MetS) to determine the extent...
