Exploring The Role Of Brain Angiogenesis Inhibitor 3 (Bai3) In Regulating Body Weight, Haifa Alsahrif

All ETDs from UAB

Obesity is a significant public health issue, strongly associated with various metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Understanding the mechanisms that contribute to obesity is essential for developing effective interventions. One critical area of interest involves G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are important in regulating metabolic health. These receptors are known to be involved in critical metabolic functions such as insulin secretion, lipid metabolism, and glucose uptake. The role of the GPCR, brain angiogenesis inhibitor-3 (BAI3), in metabolic regulation has not been fully explored. This dissertation focuses on the known functions of the BAI isoforms (BAI1-3) and presents …

Development Of Momordica Saponin-Based Vaccine Adjuvants, Hyunjung Kim

All ETDs from UAB

Vaccine adjuvants are indispensable substances that help induce a fast, potent, and durable immune response when administered with vaccine antigens. Among the FDA-approved vaccine adjuvants for human use, three of the most recently approved ones contain saponin adjuvant QS-21. To address QS-21’s inherent drawbacks, we investigated the adjuvant activity of a series of saponin-based semisynthetic vaccine adjuvants, including VSA-1 and VSA-2, prepared from natural Momordica saponins I and II in one-step. The natural saponins precursors are isolated from the widely available and inexpensive seeds of Momordica cochinchinensis SPRENG. In general, VSA adjuvants can enhance both humoral and cellular immune responses …

Characterizing The Molecular Complexities Of Iga1 By Serum Proteomics In The Context Of Iga Nephropathy, Mary A. Cunningham

All ETDs from UAB

Immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) is the second most abundantly produced immunoglobulin in circulation per day and plays a key role in human immunity. Two molecular complexities of IgA1 make accurately studying the protein challenging. The first is that IgA1 exists in three main molecular forms in the serum of humans: monomeric (mIgA1, 80-90% of serum IgA1), polymeric (pIgA1, 10-20% of serum IgA1), and IgA1-containing immune complexes (IgA1-IC, <0.5% of serum IgA1). The second complexity is that the hinge-region of IgA1 is extensively O-glycosylated and exhibits a high level of variation in its O-glycans, particularly in the degree of sialylation. In context of the autoimmune disease IgA nephropathy (IgAN), patients have elevated levels of IgA1 that has reduced levels of galactose (Gal) in the IgA1 hinge-region (Gal-deficient IgA1). This Gal-deficient IgA1 forms immune complexes with IgG autoantibodies (IgA1-IC), deposits in the glomeruli, and induces kidney injury. While it is established that these large IgA1-IC (>700 kDa) formed in the circulation are pathogenic, there remains a gap in knowledge about other blood proteins that may be associating with IgA1 in complexes. It is also necessary to understand the native …

Where The Black Women At? Exploring The Narratives & Experiences Of Black Women In Higher Education Leadership, Jasmine P. Jean

All ETDs from UAB

WHERE THE BLACK WOMEN AT? EXPLORING THE NARRATIVES & EXPERIENCES OF BLACK WOMEN IN HIGHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP JASMINE P. PARKER JEAN HIGHER EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION ABSTRACT This thesis explores the experiences of Black Women in mid- and senior-level leadership roles in higher education, with a focus on the unique challenges they face due to the intersection of race and gender. Black Women remain significantly underrepresented in leadership positions across the academic landscape, despite earning higher education degrees at high rates. The study seeks to amplify the voices of Black Women leaders, providing insight into the barriers they encounter, the strategies they …
