Differences in whole blood gene expression associated with infection time-course and extent of fetal mortality in a reproductive model of type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection
Download2016
Ladinig, Andrea, Stothard, Paul, Wilkinson, Jamie M., Kommadath, Arun, Plastow, Graham S., Harding, John C. S., Bao, Hua, Lunney, Joan K.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnant females causes fetal death and increased piglet mortality, but there is substantial variation in the extent of reproductive pathology between individual dams. This study used RNA-sequencing to characterize the whole...

Docosahexaenoic Acid Induced Apoptosis In H9c2 Cells And Changed Cardiac Function After Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
DownloadSpring 2013
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. As such, a vast amount of research has investigated novel therapies for preventing and/or reducing CVD. Much evidence has demonstrated the importance of dietary composition in increasing or lowering risks of CVD....

Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n3, DHA) is an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) that is known to induce context-dependent cell survival, as well as apoptosis, but the exact cellular and molecular mechanism(s) remain unknown. DHA is known to act as a natural ligand for the peroxisome...

Evaluation of Phosphatidylserine-Binding Peptides Radiolabeled with Fluorine 18 for in vivo Imaging of Apoptosis
DownloadSpring 2012
We currently do not have a clinical method to directly assess apoptosis induced by cancer therapies. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an attractive target for imaging apoptosis since it is on the exterior of the apoptotic cells and PS externalization is an early marker of apoptosis. PS-binding peptides...

During infection, the host cell environment must be altered to accommodate viral replication. These alterations include hijacking cellular membranes as well as other components to form viral replication compartments and attenuating the host defenses to prevent virus detection and elimination....

From the basic understanding of N-myristoylation during apoptosis to a potential personalized medical treatment of B cell lymphomas
DownloadFall 2013
Myristoylation is a type of fatty acylation that involves the irreversible attachment of myristate (C14) to an amino-terminal glycine of a protein via an amide bond by N-myristoyltransferase (NMT). The two human N-myristoyltransferases (NMT1 and NMT2) typically play a pro-survival role in cells...

Approximately 70% of patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) develop chronic infection, which has been reported to be due to impaired specific T cell responses. Myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) are potent antigen-presenting cells that regulate T cell responses, however their role during...

Deregulated TNF signaling with elevated or decreased levels of TNF-induced apoptosis causes numerous inflammatory and cancerous diseases. Thus, there is a clear need to identify cellular proteins that regulate cell fate in the presence of TNF. RNA interference technology provides an excellent...

Caspases are a family of enzymes that regulate biological processes, such as inflammation and programmed cell death, through proteolysis. For example, in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, cell death signaling involves cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, which leads to the activation of...

Insights into the role of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase-alpha in hepatic lipid metabolism and cellular integrity
DownloadFall 2011
Lower levels of hepatic phosphatidylcholine (PC) are suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Mice lacking hepatic CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase-α (LCTα-/-), the regulatory enzyme in the CDP-choline pathway for PC biosynthesis, were fed a...
