Non digestible carbohydrates in the diet determine toxicity of irinotecan (CPT-11)/5-fluorouracil in rats independently of β-glucuronidase activity in intestinal lumen
DownloadFall 2012
Aim of this study was to assess effects of non-digestible carbohydrates on the pathobiology of mucosal injury after chemotherapy. Rats bearing colon tumor (n=6/diet) were fed diets including 8% (w/w) as either cellulose, inulin, fructo-oligosaccharide (OligoF), 50:50 (w/w) inulin and oligoF...

Taxanes are used for the treatment of breast, ovarian, and lung cancer. Unfortunately, taxane based therapy—the current treatment for metastatic breast cancer—has substantial shortcomings including myelosupression, neurotoxicity, and frequently acquired resistance. Our present understanding of...

Abstract: Albino vertebrates exposed to intense light typically lose photoreceptors via apoptosis, and thus serve as useful models of retinal degeneration. In contrast, albino rainbow trout exposed to intense light maintain Populations of rod and cone nuclei despite Substantial damage to rod...

Myristoylation involves the addition of a 14-carbon fatty acid to the N-terminal glycine of proteins by N-myristoyltransferase. Myristoylation promotes protein-membrane and protein-protein interactions that are crucial for the function of myristoylated proteins. Myristoylation occurs...

Poxviral manipulation of Bcl-2 proteins: fowlpox virus FPV039 and deerpox virus DPV022 inhibit apoptosis by neutralising Bak and Bax, while Noxa contributes to vaccinia virus-induced apoptosis
DownloadSpring 2011
Poxviruses are renowned for encoding proteins that modulate virtually every aspect of the host immune system. One effective barrier against virus infection is apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death. Apoptosis is controlled at the mitochondria by pro- and anti-apoptotic members of the highly...

Quantitative Label-Free Comparative Proteomic Analyses of Eukaryotic Tissues via Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2018
In recent years, rapid advances in genomic and transcriptomic sequencing technologies have enabled the compilation of vast libraries of protein sequences and thus an explosion in bioinformatics-based fields of research. Among these is proteomics – the study of global protein abundance within a...

Regulation of Pancreatic β-cell Life and Death in the Context of Type 2 Diabetes: Study of the Potential Implication of the Orphan Nuclear Receptor NR4A3/Nor1 and the NZF Transcription Factor ST18.
DownloadFall 2017
Background: The insulin-secreting pancreatic beta-cell plays a central role in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In both cases, production of pro-inflammatory cytokines causes beta-cell apoptosis, which results in the...

Retrograde signaling mechanisms of nerve growth factor regulating the survival and apoptosis of sympathetic neurons
DownloadFall 2009
The survival of several neuron populations during development, including sympathetic neurons, is strictly regulated by neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor (NGF) released from innervation targets. NGF activates its receptor, TrkA, at axon terminals, to generate signals that are transmitted...
