A Context-Forward In Vivo Functional Genomics Platform For Target Discovery And Establishing Vulnerability Context In Pancreatic Cancer, Johnathon Rose, Johnathon Lynn Rose
A Context-Forward In Vivo Functional Genomics Platform For Target Discovery And Establishing Vulnerability Context In Pancreatic Cancer, Johnathon Rose, Johnathon Lynn Rose

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a very poor patient prognosis (5-year survival of ≤ 7%). While transcriptional profiling has aided in the classification of this disease into at least two broader subtypes, this alone has so far been insufficient to inform on more nuanced patterns of oncogenic dependency. We hypothesized that a more comprehensive and granular characterization of PDAC disease diversity is required to establish relevant context for targeted therapy. To this end, we sought to establish an integrated platform to: i) more comprehensively characterize differential oncogenic signaling across our tumor models, and ii) establish …

Modulating Avidity Of H8f4-Car By Regulation Of Expression Via Codon Modification, Rolando Vedia
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
Despite recent advances in the field of cancer immunotherapy and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), there is a need for more unique and innovative modalities to improve these therapies. Our group has extensively studied and demonstrated the potential of targeting the leukemia-associated antigen PR1 in the setting of AML. PR1 is an HLA-A2-restricted nonameric peptide derived from serine proteases neutrophil elastase and proteinase 3, is overexpressed on myeloid leukemia cells, and expressed at normal low levels in healthy hematopoietic cells. We have demonstrated efficacy in targeting PR1/HLA-A2 via the novel development of …
Alternative Polyadenylation Modulates Expression Of Pro-Fibrotic Proteins And Contributes To Lung Fibrosis, Junsuk Ko
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease which affects about 5 to 8 million individuals in the world. Despite the high prevalence, there is currently no cure for IPF, and the cause of this disease is still unclear. Our laboratory and collaborators have shown that nudix hydrolase 21 (NUDT21, which is also known as cleavage factor 25, CFIm25) is a key regulator of alternative polyadenylation (APA). NUDT21 depletion causes 3’UTR shortening via APA leading to enhanced mRNA stability and protein translation. This NUDT21 reduction promotes tumor growth in glioblastoma by enhancing expression of oncogenes. Cancer and IPF share …

Understanding Intercellular Signaling During Lung Injury-Repair, Margo Patricia Cain
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
The mammalian lung is a complex system of specialized cell types with precise spatial organization designed to cooperate to perform gas exchange. These cell types together coordinate organ development, homeostasis, and repair after injury through signals either presented or secreted, known as ligands, to be received by receptors on the surface of another, or in some cases, the same cell. The alveolar region of the lung, the primary region of gas exchange, responds to various types of injuries with different lung repair mechanisms. In order to explore how the various cell types in the lung communicate to drive tissue repair …
