The role of cytochrome P450 1B1 and its associated metabolites in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy and drug-induced heart failure
DownloadFall 2018
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most widespread and lethal forms of heart disease worldwide. Most HF patients have a history of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy in addition to drug-induced cardiotoxicity. Mechanisms regulating cardiac hypertrophy and drug-induced HF have been the...

The Role of Subterminal Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acids in the Pathogenesis of Cardiac Hypertrophy
DownloadFall 2021
Cardiac hypertrophy is a complex condition which is characterized by increased mass of the heart muscle. If untreated, cardiac hypertrophy can ultimately lead to heart failure (HF), arrhythmia and sudden death. Accumulating evidence suggest that pathological cardiac hypertrophy is strongly...

THE ROLE OF CYTOCHROME P450 AND THEIR ASSOCIATED ARACHIDONIC ACID METABOLITES IN THE INITIATION AND PROGRESSION OF CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY
DownloadSpring 2016
Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of mortality and disability in adults worldwide. Cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor and one of the major hallmarks of HF. Research in cardiac hypertrophy is considered as a research into the early events in the development of HF. The...

Role of cytochrome P450 (CYP) metabolites of arachidonic acid in the regulation of cAMP in HEK293 cells
DownloadFall 2011
Cytochrome P450 epoxygenases metabolize arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which in turn are converted to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs) by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). EETs are known to modulate a number of vascular and renal functions but the exact signaling...

MODULATION OF ARYL HYDROCARBON RECEPTOR (AHR)-REGULATED CARCINOGEN ACTIVATING ENZYMES BY ORGANIC ARSENICALS: A POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC TARGET
DownloadSpring 2017
Arsenic is a worldwide environmental pollutant that is associated with skin and several types of internal cancers, such as liver, lung, kidney, urinary bladder, and prostate cancers. Recent reports revealed that organic arsenic metabolites, such as trimethylarsine oxide (TMAO), dimethylarsinic...

Several studies have examined the toxic effects of individual aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands, yet there are relatively few reports of the combined toxic effects of AhR ligands and other environmental co-contaminants, such as heavy metals. Chromium (Cr+6) is one of the major environmental...

In many tumors, persistently-active signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) imparts several oncogenic features such as survival, proliferation, angiogenesis, and immune escape. Therefore, STAT3 targeting in cancer and cancer-exposed dendritic cells (DCs) is important for cancer...

The voltage-gated KCNQ1/KCNE1 potassium ion channel plays a key role in maintaining the heart rhythm. An active channel generates the slow delayed rectifier (IKs) current in the heart. Both loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutations in KCNQ1 or KCNE1 are linked to many heart-related...
