Piper Betle Shows Antioxidant Activities, Inhibits Mcf-7 Cell Proliferation And Increases Activities Of Catalase And Superoxide Dismutase, N.N. Abrahim, M.S. Kanthimathi, A. Abdul-Aziz

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

Background: Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and the focus on finding chemotherapeutic agents have recently shifted to natural products. Piper betle is a medicinal plant with various biological activities. However, not much data is available on the anti-cancer effects of P. betle on breast cancer. Due to the current interest in the potential effects of antioxidants from natural products in breast cancer treatment, we investigated the antioxidant activities of the leaves of P. betle and its inhibitory effect on the proliferation of the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7.Methods: The leaves of P. betle were extracted with …

Breaking The Cycle Of Unequal Treatment With Health Care Reform: Acknowledging And Addressing The Continuation Of Racial Bias, Ruqaiijah Yearby

Connecticut Law Review

Since the Civil War access to health care in the United States has been racially unequal. This racially unequal access to health care remains even after the passage of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VI") and the election of an African-American President. Both of these events held the promise of equality, yet the promise has never been fulfilled Now, many hail the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act ("A CA ") as the biggest governmental step in equalizing access to health care because it has the potential to increase minority access …

Histopathology Confirms White-Nose Syndrome In Bats In Europe, Jiri Pikula, Hana Bandouchova, Landislov Novotny

KIP Articles

White-nose syndrome, associated with the fungal skin infection geomycosis, caused regional population collapse in bats in North America. Our results, based on histopathology, show the presence of white-nose syndrome in Europe. Dermatohistopathology on two bats (Myotis myotis) found dead in March 2010 with geomycosis in the Czech Republic had characteristics resembling Geomyces destructans infection in bats confirmed with white-nose syndrome in US hibernacula. In addition, a live M. myotis, biopsied for histopathology during hibernation in April 2011, had typical fungal infection with cupping erosion and invasion of muzzle skin diagnostic for white-nose syndrome and conidiospores identical to G. destructans that …

Harvest Date Influence On Dry Matter Yield And Moisture Of Corn And Stover, Haibo Huang, Dan B. Faulkner, Larry L. Berger, Steven R. Eckhoff

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Harvest date greatly affects the biomass yield, moisture, and quality of corn and stover. Traditionally, corn and stover have been harvested at lower moisture levels. However, corn stover and grain can be more effectively utilized as animal feed and biomass-ethanol feedstock if they are collected before in-field dry down. This study determined dry matter yield, moisture content, and quality of corn and stover before, during, and after grain maturity in central Illinois. The two-year average kernel moisture was 37.4% (w.b.) when reaching physiological maturity. At the same time, the average stover moisture was 67.7% (w.b.). The dry matter yield of …

The Balance Of Proangiogenic And Antiangiogenic Vegfa Isoforms Regulate Follicle Development, Renee M. Mcfee, Timonthy G. Clopton, Andrea S. Cupp

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) has been extensively studied because of its role in follicular development and is a principal angiogenic factor essential for angiogenesis. Since vascularization of the theca layer increases as follicles progress in size through preantral and antral stages, VEGFA might influence follicle growth via the regulation of angiogenesis. However, VEGFA might also influence follicular development through nonangiogenicmechanisms, since its expression has been localized in nonvascular follicles and cells. Alternative mRNA splicing of eight exons from the VEGFA gene results in the formation of various VEGFA isoforms. Each isoform has unique properties and is identified by …

A Blue Native-Page Analysis Of Membrane Protein Complexes In Clostridium Thermocellum, Yanfeng Peng, Yuanming Luo, Tingting Yu, Xinping Xu, Keqiang Fan, Youbao Zhao, Kequian Yang

Physiology and Biophysics Publications and Presentations

Background Clostridium thermocellum is a Gram-positive thermophilic anaerobic bacterium with the unusual capacity to convert cellulosic biomass into ethanol and hydrogen. Identification and characterization of protein complexes in C. thermocellum are important toward understanding its metabolism and physiology.

Results A two dimensional blue native/SDS-PAGE procedure was developed to separate membrane protein complexes of C. thermocellum. Proteins spots were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF Mass spectrometry. 24 proteins were identified representing 13 distinct protein complexes, including several putative intact complexes. Interestingly, subunits of both the F1-F0-ATP synthase and the V1-V0-ATP synthase were detected in the membrane sample, indicating C. thermocellum may use alternative …

Staphylococcus Aureus And Escherichia Coli Have Disparate Dependences On Ksga For Growth And Ribosome Biogenesis, Heather Colleen O'Farrell, Jason P. Rife

Physiology and Biophysics Publications and Presentations

Background The KsgA methyltransferase has been conserved throughout evolution, methylating two adenosines in the small subunit rRNA in all three domains of life as well as in eukaryotic organelles that contain ribosomes. Understanding of KsgA’s important role in ribosome biogenesis has been recently expanded in Escherichia coli; these studies help explain why KsgA is so highly conserved and also suggest KsgA’s potential as an antimicrobial drug target.

Results We have analyzed KsgA’s contribution to ribosome biogenesis and cell growth in Staphylococcus aureus. We found that deletion of ksgA in S. aureus led to a cold-sensitive growth phenotype, although KsgA was …

The Interdomain Linker Of Aav-2 Rep68 Is An Integral Part Of Its Oligomerization Domain: Role Of A Conserved Sf3 Helicase Residue In Oligomerization, Francisco Zarate-Perez, Martino Bardelli, John W. Burgner Ii, Maria Villamil-Jarauta, Kanni Das, Demet Kekilli, Jorge Mansilla-Soto, R. Michael Linden, Carlos R. Escalante

Physiology and Biophysics Publications and Presentations

The four Rep proteins of adeno-associated virus (AAV) orchestrate all aspects of its viral life cycle, including transcription regulation, DNA replication, virus assembly, and site-specific integration of the viral genome into the human chromosome 19. All Rep proteins share a central SF3 superfamily helicase domain. In other SF3 members this domain is sufficient to induce oligomerization. However, the helicase domain in AAV Rep proteins (i.e. Rep40/Rep52) as shown by its monomeric characteristic, is not able to mediate stable oligomerization. This observation led us to hypothesize the existence of an as yet undefined structural determinant that regulates Rep oligomerization. In this …

Thermodynamic Analysis Of Dna Binding By A Bacillus Single Stranded Dna Binding Protein., Esther E. Biswas, Jirayu Kukiratirat, Subhasis B Biswas

Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences & Biotechnology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSB) are essential for DNA replication, repair, and recombination in all organisms. SSB works in concert with a variety of DNA metabolizing enzymes such as DNA polymerase.

RESULTS: We have cloned and purified SSB from Bacillus anthracis (SSB(BA)). In the absence of DNA, at concentrations ≤100 μg/ml, SSB(BA) did not form a stable tetramer and appeared to resemble bacteriophage T4 gene 32 protein. Fluorescence anisotropy studies demonstrated that SSB(BA) bound ssDNA with high affinity comparable to other prokaryotic SSBs. Thermodynamic analysis indicated both hydrophobic and ionic contributions to ssDNA binding. FRET analysis of oligo(dT)(70) binding …
