4e-Bp1 Differentially Regulates Translation Of A Subset Of Human Mrnas, Mehreen Mahbub

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Elevated levels of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) influence cap-independent translation by forming a complex with eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) (eIF4E•4E-BP1). Certain mRNAs—including those encoding hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), fibroblast growth factor-9 (FGF-9), and two isoforms of tumor suppressors, p53 (p53_A, and p53_B)—contain structured 5’untranslated regions (UTRs) that enable translation either via cap-independent translation enhancer (CITE)-like or internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)-like mechanisms. However, how 4E-BP1 modulates these mechanisms remains unclear. Using fluorescence-based anisotropy assays, we showed that the eIF4E•4E-BP1 binds more tightly to the 5’ m⁷G-cap of these mRNAs than eIF4E …

Development Of Novel Anti-Cancer Colchicine Analogs: Synthesis And Configurational Studies, Orugbani S. Eli

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Colchicine, a naturally occurring alkaloid, has long been known as a potent therapeutic agent. Despite its efficacy treating gout and other inflammatory disorders, its severe toxicity, limited selectivity, and poor pharmacological profile have restricted its broader clinical application. Reported advantages of colchicine-site ligands as vascular-disrupting agents, including reduced susceptibility to multidrug resistance, have revived interest in the colchicine site on tubulin as a validated therapeutic target for cancer. This dissertation focuses on the development of new colchicine analogs, detailing the synthetic method to functionalized AC-ring derivatives, as well as the evaluation of their configurational stability and biological activity.

Less Self, Less Fear: Manipulation Of The Self Using Virtual Out-Of-Body Experiences To Alter The Conscious And Unconscious Experience Of Emotion, Dillon Freed

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This study investigated whether adopting an out-of-body perspective in virtual reality (VR) reduces subjective and physiological emotional responses to vicarious pain stimuli compared to inhabiting a first-person embodied avatar. Twenty-four participants experienced two counterbalanced VR conditions: (1) Avatar Embodiment (AV), in which they inhabited a photorealistic avatar from a first-person perspective, and (2) a Virtual Out-of-Body Experience (vOBE), in which they observed their avatar from a displaced third-person perspective. In both conditions, participants viewed a standardized series of vicarious pain images while electrodermal activity was recorded and self-report measures of embodiment (AV) and disembodiment (the vOBE state), emotional intensity (a …

Protein Allostery Probed By Ligands Across Sites, Virgil A. Woods

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Allostery is a pervasive regulatory principle throughout biology, yet the structural pathways by which distal inputs alter active‑site chemistry within protein structures remain incompletely defined and exploited. This dissertation uses protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) as a tractable model to map those pathways with complementary experimental and computational tools. I integrate high‑resolution hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), room-temperature crystallography, NMR, steady-state kinetics, crystallographic pseudo-ensembles, and machine-learning-guided ligand discovery. The working premise is that regulation reflects redistribution within a conformational ensemble rather than a binary switch. That orthogonal perturbations by small molecules, mutations, and protein partners can be used to both …

Calculated Risks: The Power Of Predictive Risk Models To Regulate Families Of Color, Ashleigh Washington

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation examines predictive risk modelling (PRM) in New York City Administration for Children's Services (ACS), specifically exploring AI-enabled design features, practices, and encoded and racialized assumptions about risk in child welfare prevention services. Guided by Critical Race Theory and the Algorithmic Ecology framework, this study traces how PRM in ACS evolved from a service termination tool into a broader, largely internal surveillance apparatus that leverages families’ personal information, including health information, to assess risk of future maltreatment and to evaluate contracted service providers. Drawing on analysis of public records and in-depth interviews with Black parents, the findings describe how …

How To Search For The Engram: Optogenetics And Network Dynamics, Claudia Garcia Jou

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Memories are thought to be encoded by ensembles of neurons called "engram cells", because their artificial activation with optogenetics leads to the behavioral expression of a memory. However, the physiological mechanisms that mediate this process remain unknown. In this thesis, I investigate how optogenetic stimulation of memory-tagged cells changes neuronal firing, spatial coding, and the geometry of neural manifolds. I used an active place avoidance task and a foraging task to label engram cells in the dorsal hippocampus with Channelrhodopsin2 (ChR2). I then recorded the hippocampal activity response to optogenetic stimulation in mice under anesthesia, head-fixed, or freely moving. I …

“Language Learners As Ethnographers: A Case Study On A Pedagogical Approach To Developing Intercultural Communicative Competence”, Nihal El-Gameel

Theses and Dissertations

Despite the extensive theoretical models and frameworks for Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC), pedagogical approaches to teaching culture remain underexplored. This study examined the effectiveness of integrating a pedagogical framework—the OSEE framework developed by Deardorff (2000)—within a language classroom context. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through audio-recorded reflections, a questionnaire, an interview, and a final project video presentation in a single-case study design. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s (2014) model of qualitative analysis, employing a funneling approach tailored to each research question: the first applied Chen and Starosta’s ICC model (1996;1999) the second used deductive thematic analysis to …

Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurological condition with an unclear etiology and pathogenesis. In recent years, studies have identified changes in lipid metabolism, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and mitophagy in patients with ASD. However, the specific interactions between these molecular signatures and their clinical applications in ASD remain largely unexplored. The aim of our study is to search for correlations between changes in gene and miRNA expression and the clinical characteristics of ASD. The investigation included a cohort of children with idiopathic ASD and healthy controls (HC). Diagnosis was established based on ADOS assessment (autism diagnostic observation schedule). Gene …

Asthma Phenotypes And Control In 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome: A Single-Center Retrospective Study, Cody Shopper, Katey Campbell, Nikita S. Raje

Background: Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome have increased rates of atopy and immune dysregulation and may experience a higher burden of asthma; however, real-world data describing asthma control, severity, and treatment patterns in this population are limited. We hypothesized that asthma control and severity patterns in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome differ from those observed in the general asthma population. Objectives/Goal: To characterize asthma control, severity, and treatment patterns among patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and to compare observed patterns with those typically reported in the general asthma population. Methods/Design: We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of patients with …

Study Of Nano-Bio Interactions In Biological Fluids: Modelling And Simulations., Beatrice Cipriani

Doctoral

Nanoparticles have attracted significant interest due to their tunable properties and unique physicochemical characteristics, offering promising applications in drug delivery, biosensing, and diagnostics. Their use in medicine has the potential to reshape current paradigms by enabling more efficient, precise, and patient-centric approaches. Although advances in nanomaterial synthesis have rapidly expanded the library of available nanodevices, our understanding of the mechanisms that govern their behaviour at biological interfaces remains limited. Nanoparticles are similar in size to biomolecules found in biological environments, leading to complex, competitive interactions that affect their functional performance, biological fate, and acquired bioidentity. Unlike traditional small molecules, which …

Market Culture And Innovation Acceptance In Fire Safety Products: The Moderating Role Of Perceived Market Regulation, Xu Zhang

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

Against the backdrop of continuously rising global fire safety standards and ongoing technological iteration in fire protection products, whether innovative fire protection products can be effectively accepted by the market has become a critical issue influencing the returns on firms’ innovation investments and the high-quality development of the industry. Existing studies have predominantly explored innovation diffusion mechanisms from the perspectives of technological attributes or organizational factors, while paying relatively limited attention to market culture as a contextual factor, as well as to the differentiated role that government regulation may play in this process. Based on this, this study takes institutional …

A Scalable Organoid Model Of Urothelial Aging For Metabolic Interrogation, Infection Modeling, And Reversal Of Age-Associated Changes, Adwaita R Parab, Arnold M Salazar, Steven J Bark, Margarita Divenko, Vasanta Putluri, D'Feau J Lieu, Aadya S Singh, Nagireddy Putluri, Indira U Mysorekar

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Aging leads to a progressive decline in overall bladder function resulting in lower urinary tract symptoms and increased susceptibility to infections. However, tissue-specific mechanisms of aging, specifically the contributions of the urothelium, remain elusive. Here, we introduce mouse bladder epithelium-derived organoids (mBEDOs) as a scalable platform to model urothelial aging. mBEDOs from aged mice recapitulate key features of age-associated cellular reprogramming, including oxidative stress, senescence, and DNA damage. We demonstrate the utility of mBEDOs for modeling Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infection, generating assembloids between mBEDOs and macrophages to model epithelial-immune interactions, and genetic perturbation. Using the mBEDO platform, we also …

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Diabetes and insulin resistance are associated with higher risk of asthma exacerbation and preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), but the pathophysiology is unclear. These conditions may cause small airways dysfunction (SAD), which is an under-recognized cause of PRISm.

Objective: To determine whether insulin resistance and poor glucose control associate with SAD and to explore whether proteins prognostic of diabetes end-organ complications predict lung function abnormalities.

Methods: We recruited a prospective cohort of adults with physician-diagnosed asthma. Fasting insulin, glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and concentrations of 13 proteins prognostic of diabetes end-organ complications were measured. Static insulin resistance was calculated by …

Minifast: A Sensitive And Fast Miniaturized Microscope For In Vivo Neural Recording, Jill Juneau, Guillaume Duret, Joshua P Chu, Blake Madruga, Conor C Dorian, Alexander V Rodriguez, Savva Morozov, Daniel Aharoni, Jacob T Robinson, François St-Pierre, Peyman Golshani, Caleb Kemere

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Significance: Observing the activity of large populations of neurons in vivo is critical for understanding brain function and dysfunction. The use of fluorescent genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) in conjunction with miniaturized microscopes is an exciting emerging toolset for recording neural activity in unrestrained animals. Despite their potential, current miniaturized microscope designs are limited using image sensors with low frame rates, sensitivity, and resolution. Beyond GECIs, there are many neuroscience applications that would benefit from the use of other emerging neural indicators, such as fluorescent genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) that have faster temporal resolution to match neuron spiking, yet …

Deep Brain Stimulation Response Circuits In Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Andreas Horn, Ningfei Li, Garance M Meyer, Ron Gadot, Nicole R Provenza, Sameer A Sheth

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

In the field of deep brain stimulation (DBS), two major themes are currently making significant progress. First, the framework of connectomic DBS, in which circuits that are associated with improvements of specific symptoms are described and targeted to improve and potentially personalize treatment. Second, the concept of brain sensing and adaptive DBS, which aims at identifying neural biomarkers that may guide stimulation in a closed-loop fashion.

In DBS for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), substantial progress has been made on both ends, over the last five years. Together, results begin to draw a picture of exactly which circuit is …

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Medulloblastoma and ependymoma are common pediatric central nervous system tumors with significant molecular and clinical heterogeneity. While molecular subgrouping has enabled classification into molecular subtypes, the extent of heterogeneity within these subgroups remains poorly defined.

Methods: We collected bulk RNA sequencing data from 888 medulloblastoma and 370 ependymoma tumors to establish a comprehensive reference landscape. After rigorous batch effect correction, normalization, and dimensionality reduction, we generated a unified landscape to explore gene expression, signaling pathways, RNA fusions, and copy number variations.

Results: Our transcriptional analysis revealed distinct clustering patterns, including two primary ependymoma compartments, EPN-E1 and EPN-E2, each with …

Cyclic Amp-Dependent Regulation Of Ryanodine Receptors In Healthy And Diseased Hearts, Mohit M Hulsurkar, Isabelle Ong, Joshua A Keefe, Issam H Abu-Taha, Dobromir Dobrev, Xander H T Wehrens

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a critical second messenger in cardiomyocytes, regulating essential cellular functions. Upon G-protein-coupled receptor stimulation, adenylyl cyclase (AC) synthesizes cAMP, which phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes subsequently degrade. Recent studies challenge the traditional view of uniform cAMP signaling, revealing nanodomain-specific regulation within cardiomyocytes. This localized cAMP signaling modulates key Ca2+-handling proteins, including ryanodine receptor type-2 (RyR2), through channel-bound protein kinases and PDEs. Additionally, nucleoside-diphosphate kinases (NDPKs), particularly NDPK-C, contribute to cAMP synthesis and RyR2 regulation. Elevated NDPK-C levels in failing hearts correlate with increased cAMP levels, enhanced sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release, and cardiac arrhythmias. Furthermore, cAMP influences the …

Faculty and Staff Publications

Key Points:

1. Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) is a global public health problem; however, its mediators remain poorly known, in part due to the lack of a reliable animal model.

2. A combination of high fat and adenine diet recapitulate some of the CKD and metabolic phenotypes of CKM.

3. This model also demonstrates myocardial fibrosis and peripheral artery disease with sex-based differences and can be leveraged to probe mechanisms of CKM.

Background: Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a public health problem in the United States and results in premature cardiovascular disease at a relatively preserved GFR. The molecular mediators of CKM are poorly understood, partly …

The Effects Of A Viniyoga-Based Practice On Mental Health Clinicians' Perceived Stress, Burnout, And Quality Of Life, Julie Pate

Dissertations

Psychotherapists often experience stress when treating distressed or emotionally troubled patients due to the emotionally taxing nature of their work, which can lead to burnout and other negative consequences (Bell et al., 2023; Maslach & Leiter, 2016; Simionato & Simpson, 2018) Therapists find it challenging to maintain regular self-care routines (Driscoll, 2023; Baker & Gabriel, 2021; Posluns & Gall, 2020). With the constant demand for counselors (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, 2024), there is a critical need for effective stress management strategies to mitigate burnout risks (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], 2022; Sibitz, Pils, …

Progressive Neuroinflammation And Deficits In Motor Function In A Mouse Model With An Epg5 Pathogenic Variant Of Vici Syndrome., Bradley Thornton, Alexandra G. Hardinger, Laramie Pence, Priyanka Prem Kumar, Nikolas Connolly, Scott J. Weir, Jay L. Vivian

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

Vici syndrome (VS) is a rare pediatric genetic disorder characterized by profound developmental delay, seizures, immune deficits, cardiomyopathy and progressive motor dysfunction. This devastating condition is caused by pathogenic variants in the EPG5 gene, which encodes a regulator of autophagy, leading to the accumulation of toxic intracellular material and widespread cellular dysfunction. Less-severe EPG5 pathogenic variants have recently been linked to rare familial forms of Parkinson's disease, suggesting deficits in EPG5 function drive a range of neurodegenerative disorders. Currently, there are no effective treatments for any disorders associated with pathogenic variants of EPG5. The underlying cellular mechanisms driving the progressive …

Border Perceptions: Security And Immigration In The South Texas Borderlands, Carla Angulo-Pasel, Mi-Son Kim, Adrien A. Halliez

School of Political Science, Public Affairs, Legal and Security Studies Faculty Publications

With the Trump administration, we witnessed a hardening of border security policy and practices. Trump used his leadership and celebrity to explicitly attack and criminalize “undocumented” migrants with a discourse of threat, danger, invasion, crisis. Policywise, he took steps to further securitize the borderlands. In this paper, we examine how public opinion has differed with regards to the support or opposition to these hard security policies, especially in borderland areas when compared to the overall national population. The aim of this paper is to examine this difference by directing our attention to the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), a borderlands region …

Pair-Feeding Study Designs Can Create Biases And Inflate Type I Error Rates: A Simulation Study, Wasiuddin Najam, Daniel E Kpormegbey, Deependra K Thapa, Bret Rust, Lilian Golzarri-Arroyo, Lance H Baumgard, Louis Wai-Tong Fan, Joseph G Ibrahim, Edith J Mayorga, David B Allison

Children’s Nutrition Research Center Staff Publications

Objective: Pair-feeding is a study design element where one group's food intake is provided to another group to assess whether a treatment effect is independent of food intake. Investigators often assume equivalent food intake across experimental conditions and exclude it from the statistical analysis. However, the impact of this practice on type I error (T1Er) rates has not been quantified.

Methods: We conducted a Monte Carlo simulation in which animals were assigned baseline weights and food intakes, then randomized to non-pair-fed or pair-fed groups. Daily food intake for both groups was initially drawn from the baseline food intake distribution. For …
