Role Of Non-Muscle Myosin Ii In Hs578t/Hs578ts(I)8 Triple Negative Breast Cancer Progression, Shimara Gunawardana Jan 2018

Role Of Non-Muscle Myosin Ii In Hs578t/Hs578ts(I)8 Triple Negative Breast Cancer Progression, Shimara Gunawardana

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Loss of cell-cell adhesion and migration are prerequisites for the formation of metastases. These events are mediated by changes in the actomyosin cytoskeleton. Nonmuscle myosin II (NMII) belongs to the myosin superfamily of motor proteins which binds to actin and controls actin cross-linking and contraction, however its role and regulation in cell-adhesion and migration remains poorly understood. In this study, we report that associations of α5β1integrin receptors and Ncadherins with NMII isoforms NM-IIA and NMII-B correlate with increased cell-cell adhesion and reduced migratory behavior of the parental Hs578T cells of the Hs578T/Hs578Ts(i)8 triple-negative breast cancer progression model. Using blebbistatin, a …

The Role Of Genomic Versatility In Multi-Niche Preferences Of Escherichia Coli, Gitanjali Nandakafle Jan 2018

The Role Of Genomic Versatility In Multi-Niche Preferences Of Escherichia Coli, Gitanjali Nandakafle

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Escherichia coli strains are naturally present as either commensals or pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals and some other vertebrates. Until recently, it was assumed that E. coli are solely associated with the gut and are unable to survive outside of a host for a long period of time, the basis of its use as an indicator organism. Recent reports suggest that E. coli can become naturalized to several tropical, subtropical or temperate soils and aquatic environments, where they have been isolated repeatedly. Several studies have shown that these strains are capable of surviving and proliferating in the environment …

Fast Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (Firms): A Tandem Mass Spectrometry Technique For The Rapid And Semi-Comprehensive Evaluation Of Isotope Ratios, Fredrick Ochieng

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Isotope ratios (IRs) are a measure of the variation in abundance of light isotopes versus heavy isotopes of an element, e.g. 1H/2H,12C/13C, and 14N/15N. Because IRs change as a molecule undergoes certain chemical and physical processes, they represent unique fingerprints that can be used to trace the source of a chemical compound. Current techniques for determination of IRs each have major limitations, such as loss of structural information, vulnerability to contamination, high cost, large sample size requirements, low precision, limited applicability, and lengthy analysis. Fast Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (FIRMS) …
