Epitranscriptomic Writer Systems And Codon Bias Regulate The Response To Environmental Stress, Andrea Leonardi
Epitranscriptomic Writer Systems And Codon Bias Regulate The Response To Environmental Stress, Andrea Leonardi
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Epitranscriptomic marks in the form of enzyme-catalyzed modifications to RNA nucleosides can be important regulators of translation and play integral roles in the response to stress. Dynamic changes in tRNA modification status can regulate the translation of stress response proteins whose transcripts have distinct codon biases. The epitranscriptomic writer Alkylation repair homolog 8 (ALKBH8) plays a crucial part in the translation of codon biased transcripts, as it regulates stop codon recoding, which is a specialized form of translation used to generate selenoproteins. ALKBH8 modifies the wobble uridine of selenocysteine tRNA (tRNASec) to promote the decoding of an internal UGA codon …
Effects Of Antibiotic Treatment On The Expression Of Hepatic And Intestinal Cytochrome P450, Bruno Pereira De Carvalho
Effects Of Antibiotic Treatment On The Expression Of Hepatic And Intestinal Cytochrome P450, Bruno Pereira De Carvalho
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Expression of metabolic enzymes Cytochrome P450 (CYP) is highly affected by drugs, diseases, age and gender. The Intestinal microflora has been suggested to play a role in regulating CYP expression and antibiotic treatments would lead to changes in level and composition of microbiota in mouse gut. This study aims to analyze CYP expression changes in the liver and small intestine resulted from the reduction of intestinal microflora by antibiotics. Impacts on bile acid signaling were also analyzed for a better comprehension of the mechanisms involved in this modulation. Female C57BL/6J mice (9- to 13-week old) were treated with ampicillin (AMP) …
Regulation Of The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor And The Signal Transducer And Activator Of Transcription 1 By Long-Term Estrogen Exposure In Breast Carcinoma Cells, Neal Englert
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The risk of developing breast cancer is known to be associated with a woman's lifetime exposure to estrogens, both endogenous and exogenous. Increased exposure to estrogens stimulates cellular proliferation, which is a widely accepted theory of estrogen receptor positive mammary carcinogenesis. The molecular mechanisms of gene expression regulation in response to long-term estrogen exposure (LTEE) of MCF-7 breast cancer cells were addressed in this study, with a focus on the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1).
