Small-Molecule Protac Mediates Targeted Protein Degradation To Treat Stat3-Dependent Epithelial Cancer, Jinmei Jin, Yaping Wu, Zeng Zhao, Ye Wu Nov 2022

Small-Molecule Protac Mediates Targeted Protein Degradation To Treat Stat3-Dependent Epithelial Cancer, Jinmei Jin, Yaping Wu, Zeng Zhao, Ye Wu

Faculty and Student Publications

The aberrant activation of STAT3 is associated with the etiology and progression in a variety of malignant epithelial-derived tumors, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Due to the lack of an enzymatic catalytic site or a ligand-binding pocket, there are no small-molecule inhibitors directly targeting STAT3 that have been approved for clinical translation. Emerging proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) technology-based approach represents a potential strategy to overcome the limitations of conventional inhibitors and inhibit activation of STAT3 and downstream genes. In this study, the heterobifunctional small-molecule-based PROTACs are successfully prepared from toosendanin (TSN), with 1 …

Carum Carvi Modulates Acetaminophen-Induced Hepatotoxicity: Effects On Tnf-Α, Nf-Κb, And Caspases, Tahir Maqbool Mir, Muneeb U. Rehman, Mohammad Khalid Ashfaq, Wajhul Qamar Nov 2022

Carum Carvi Modulates Acetaminophen-Induced Hepatotoxicity: Effects On Tnf-Α, Nf-Κb, And Caspases, Tahir Maqbool Mir, Muneeb U. Rehman, Mohammad Khalid Ashfaq, Wajhul Qamar

Faculty and Student Publications

Carum carvi is a well-known herb traditionally used as a spice in Asian countries. Acetaminophen is a known marketed drug mainly used as an analgesic. It has been scientifically proven that consumption of acetaminophen (paracetamol) is associated with liver toxicity if taken in high doses without medical supervision. The present study evaluated the in vivo antioxidant and hepatoprotective efficacy of Carum carvi against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats. Our results demonstrate that Carum carvi, at doses (mg/kg) of 100 (D1) and 200 (D2), showed inhibitory properties for DNA-sugar damage, lipid peroxidation, DPPH scavenging, and increased reducing potential in a concentration-dependent …


Development Of A Gc/Q-Tof-Ms Method Coupled With Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction To Evaluate The In Vitro Metabolism Of Β-Caryophyllene, Joseph Lee, Mei Wang, Goutam Mondal, Ikhlas A. Khan Nov 2022

Development Of A Gc/Q-Tof-Ms Method Coupled With Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction To Evaluate The In Vitro Metabolism Of Β-Caryophyllene, Joseph Lee, Mei Wang, Goutam Mondal, Ikhlas A. Khan

Faculty and Student Publications

Sample preparation remains both a challenging and time-consuming process in the field of bioanalytical chemistry. Many traditional techniques often require multi-step processes, which can introduce additional errors to the analytical method. Given the complexity of many biological matrices, thorough analyte extraction presents a major challenge to researchers. In the present study, a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with a GC/Q-ToF-MS method, was developed to quantify in vitro metabolism of β-caryophyllene by both human liver microsome (HLM) and S9 liver fractions. Validation of the method was demonstrated both in terms of linearity (R2 = 0.9948) and sensitivity with a limit of …

The viridans group streptococci (VGS) are a large consortium of commensal streptococci that colonize the human body. Many species within this group are opportunistic pathogens causing bacteremia and infective endocarditis (IE), yet little is known about why some strains cause invasive disease. Identification of virulence determinants is complicated by the difficulty of distinguishing between the closely related species of this group. Here, we analyzed genomic data from VGS that were isolated from blood cultures in patients with invasive infections and oral swabs of healthy volunteers and then determined the best-performing methods for species identification. Using whole-genome sequence data, we characterized …


Rosmarinic Acid Prevents Cisplatin-Induced Liver And Kidney Injury By Inhibiting Inflammatory Responses And Enhancing Total Antioxidant Capacity, Thereby Activating The Nrf2 Signaling Pathway, Yifei Xiang, Min Ji, Liqin Wu, Li Lv Nov 2022

Rosmarinic Acid Prevents Cisplatin-Induced Liver And Kidney Injury By Inhibiting Inflammatory Responses And Enhancing Total Antioxidant Capacity, Thereby Activating The Nrf2 Signaling Pathway, Yifei Xiang, Min Ji, Liqin Wu, Li Lv

Faculty and Student Publications

Drug-induced liver and kidney damage is an emergent clinical issue that should be addressed. Rosmarinic acid (RA) has obvious anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, so we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of RA pretreatment on serum and liver and kidney tissues of cisplatin (CP)-treated mice and explored the possible mechanisms. The results showed that RA pretreatment effectively downregulated the serum, liver, and kidney levels of ALT, AST, BUN, and CRE and the inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and simultaneously enhanced the total antioxidant capacity of the liver and kidney. RA pretreatment significantly reduced the levels of MPO, MDA, and …

Staining microplastics (MPs) for fluorescence detection has been widely applied in MP analyses. However, there is a lack of standardized staining procedures and conditions, with different researchers using different dye concentrations, solvents, incubation times, and staining temperatures. Moreover, with the limited types and morphologies of commercially available MPs, a simple and optimized approach to making fluorescent MPs is needed. In this study, 4 different textile dyes, along with Nile red dye for comparison, are used to stain 17 different polymers under various conditions to optimize the staining procedure. The MPs included both virgin and naturally weathered polymers with different sizes …

A 2d Chaotic Oscillator For Analog Ic, Partha Sarathi Paul, Parker Hardy, Maisha Sadia, Md Sakib Hasan Oct 2022

A 2d Chaotic Oscillator For Analog Ic, Partha Sarathi Paul, Parker Hardy, Maisha Sadia, Md Sakib Hasan

Faculty and Student Publications

In this paper, we have proposed the design of an analog two-dimensional (2D) discrete-time chaotic oscillator. 2D chaotic systems are studied because of their more complex chaotic behavior compared to one-dimensional (1D) chaotic systems. The already published works on 2D chaotic systems are mainly focused either on the complex analytical combinations of familiar 1D chaotic maps such as Sine map, Logistic map, Tent map, and so on, or off-the-shelf component-based analog circuits. Due to complex hardware requirements, neither of them is feasible for hardware-efficient integrated circuit (IC) implementations. To the best of our knowledge, this proposed work is the first-ever …


On Airborne Tire Wear Particles Along Roads With Different Traffic Characteristics Using Passive Sampling And Optical Microscopy, Single Particle Sem/Edx, And Μ-Atr-Ftir Analyses, Zhiqiang Gao, James V.

Tire wear particles (TWPs) are a major category of microplastic pollution produced by friction between tires and road surfaces. This non-exhaust particulate matter (PM) is transported through the air and with runoff leading to environmental pollution and health concerns. Here, we collected airborne PM along paved roads with different traffic volumes and speeds using Sigma-2 passive samplers. Particles entering the samplers deposit onto substrates for analysis, or, as we modified it, directly into small (60 ml) separatory funnels, which is particularly useful with high particle loads, where a density separation aids in isolating the microplastics. We quantified putative TWPs (∼10–80 …
