Gene expression analysis of overwintering mountain pine beetle larvae suggests multiple systems involved in overwintering stress, cold hardiness, and preparation for spring development
Download2016
Robert, Jeanne A., Bonnett, Tiffany R., Pitt, Caitlin, Spooner, Luke J., Fraser, Jordan D., Yuen, Macaire M. S., Keeling, Christopher I., Bohlmann, Jorg, Huber, Dezene P. W.
Cold-induced mortality has historically been a key aspect of mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), population control, but little is known about the molecular basis for cold tolerance in this insect. We used RNA-seq analysis to monitor gene expression...

Genes, enzymes, and chemicals of terpenoid diversity in the constitutive and induced defence of conifers against insects and pathogens
Download2006-02-02
Keeling, Christopher I., Bohlmann, Jörg
Insects select their hosts, but trees cannot select which herbivores will feed upon them. Thus, as long-lived stationary organisms, conifers must resist the onslaught of varying and multiple attackers over their lifetime. Arguably, the greatest threats to conifers are herbivorous insects and...

IL-6 indirectly modulates the induction of glyceroneogenic enzmes in adipose tissue during exercise
Download2012
Wan, Zhongxiao, Beaudoin, Marie-Soleil, Castellani, Laura, Wright, David C., Ritchie, Ian, Chan, Catherine B.
Background Glyceroneogenesis is an important step in the control of fatty acid re-esterification with PEPCK and PDK4 being identified as key enzymes in this process. We have previously shown that glyceroneogenic enzymes such as PDK4 are rapidly induced in white adipose tissue during exercise....

Interactions of pea leaf weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) with its primary and secondary host plants in Alberta
DownloadFall 2021
The pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an invasive, oligophagous herbivore that feeds on a variety of legume (Fabales: Fabaceae) plants. Field peas (Pisum sativum) and faba bean (Vicia faba) are the primary host plants of the pea leaf weevil. Adult weevils...

Mandibles and labrum-epipharynx of tiger beetles: Basic structure and evolution (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Cicindelitae)
Download2011
Acorn, J. H., Ball, G. E., Shpeley, D.
Abstract: Using for comparison with, and as outgroups for, supertribe Cicindelitae, we describe and illustrate the mandibles and labrum-epipharynx of the basal geadephagans Trachypachus gibbsii LeConte, 1861 (family Trachypachidae), and family Carabidae: Pelophila rudis (LeConte, 1863)...

Ischemic heart disease remains a major cause of illness, disability and death worldwide, as such there remains a need for novel pharmacological agents that protect against myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase...

MODULATING CYTOCHROME P450-MEDIATED ARACHIDONIC ACID METABOLISM AS A POTENTIAL NEW TREATMENT MODALITY FOR CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY
DownloadSpring 2017
El-Sherbeni, Ahmed Abd El-Hakeem
Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism has long been a very appealing target for drug discovery and development efforts. Beside cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, AA is also metabolized by the recently recognized cytochrome P450 (P450) pathway, forming several biologically-active...

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...

Saproxylic Beetles (Coleoptera) Associated With Aspen Deadwood in Broad-Leaved Boreal Mixedwood Stands
DownloadFall 2012
I assessed deadwood-associated (i.e., ‘saproxylic’) beetles (Coleoptera) along a decay gradient of trembling aspen in mature deciduous stands of the boreal mixedwood forest in NW Alberta. Various collection methods were employed to sample saproxylic beetle species. Assemblages differed between...
