Cover Story, "25 years a University"

The beginning of Memphis State University's first 25 years as a university was marked on July 1, 1957, when the Tennessee Legislature's university status-granting resolution went into effect. The story of how Memphis State College became Memphis State University is worth telling this summer as we celebrate our silver anniversary as a university. Alumni who were students at the time may well remember the campaign but not know of some of the 'back room' politicking that went on. Others may learn a little more about the history behind this school.

Vdac And Mitochondrial Bioenergetics In Cancer Biology And Therapeutics, Kareem Akeam Heslop

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The contribution of mitochondria to cancer cell metabolism is a continuously growing research field. Enhanced glycolysis and partial suppression of mitochondrial metabolism, reciprocally dependent in many tumors, characterize the pro-survival and proliferative Warburg phenotype. Voltage dependent anion channels (VDAC), in the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM), regulate the flux of most respiratory substrates entering and exiting mitochondria. Thus, VDAC functions as a switch to turn-on (when open), and off (when closed), mitochondrial metabolism. Previous work from our lab showed that VDAC modulates mitochondrial metabolism in cancer cells, high cytosolic free tubulin closes VDAC, and the synthetic VDAC-binding molecule erastin, antagonize the …

Discovery And Evaluation Of A Small Molecule Cd38 Inhibitor: Immunostimulation Of Natural Killer Cells For The Treatment Of Neuroblastoma, Catherine Maria Mills

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

High-risk neuroblastoma (NB) accounts for 15% of all pediatric cancer deaths. Refractory disease for high-risk NB patients is attributed to chemotherapy resistance and immunotherapy failure. The poor prognosis for high-risk NB patients demonstrates an unmet medical need for the development of new, more efficacious and accessible therapeutics. CD38 is an immunomodulating protein that is expressed constitutively on natural killer (NK) cells and other immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Furthermore, CD38 over expression is implicated in propagating an immunosuppressive milieu within the TME. Through virtual and biological screening, we have identified drug-like small molecule inhibitors of CD38 with low …

Translocation Of Yops By Yersinia Pestis Into Canine Cell Lines, Betsy Louise Young

Theses and Dissertations

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, secretes a set of virulence proteins called Yops when in contact with eukaryotic cells. A subset of these Yops is translocated directly into the cytosol of the host eukaryotic cells by the type III secretion system. Using a protein tag-based reporter system, this study is focused on the translocation of these Yops into the cytosol of canine derived cell lines: MDCK and DH82. The MDCK cell line is a canine derived epithelial cell line, and the DH82 cell line is a canine derived monocyte cell line. The reporter system uses a phosphorylatable peptide …
