Approaches For Family-Wide Investigations Of G Protein-Coupled Receptors, Samantha Beatrice Gacasan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) comprise a superfamily of ~800 proteins that initiate diverse biological responses, leading to interest in GPCR as prospective pharmaceutical targets. These receptors share structural characteristics that include three extracellular loops, seven-transmembrane spanning alpha-helical segments, and three intracellular loops. While the first GPCR structure was solved by x-ray crystallography in 2000, less than 50 different GPCR have been crystallized thus far. Chapter 1 describes progress in GPCR structure determination since the crystallization of rhodopsin in 2000. An overview of technological advancements that enabled three-dimentional characterization of over 40 individual GPCR family members is further described. A comprehensive …

Chemotherapy-Induced Tissue Injury: An Insight Into The Role Of Extracellular Vesicles-Mediated Oxidative Stress Responses, Chontida Yarana, Daret K. St. Clair

Toxicology and Cancer Biology Faculty Publications

The short- and long-term side effects of chemotherapy limit the maximum therapeutic dose and impair quality of life of survivors. Injury to normal tissues, especially chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, is an unintended outcome that presents devastating health impacts. Approximately half of the drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for cancer treatment are associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species, and Doxorubicin (Dox) is one of them. Dox undergoes redox cycling by involving its quinone structure in the production of superoxide free radicals, which are thought to be instrumental to the role it plays in cardiomyopathy. Dox-induced protein oxidation changes …
