Chromosomal instability (CIN) in tumors is characterized by chromosomal abnormalities and an altered gene expression signature; however, the mechanism of CIN is poorly understood. CCND1 (which encodes cyclin D1) is overexpressed in human malignancies and has been shown to play a direct role in transcriptional regulation. Here, we used genome-wide ChIP sequencing and found that the DNA-bound form of cyclin D1 occupied the regulatory region of genes governing chromosomal integrity and mitochondrial biogenesis. Adding cyclin D1 back to Ccnd1-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts resulted in CIN gene regulatory region occupancy by the DNA-bound form of cyclin D1 and induction of CIN …

Investigate Gene Expression Responses Of A Regenerative Rat Liver Model Using A Partial Hepatectomy Method, Tracee L. Popielarczyk Apr 2011

Investigate Gene Expression Responses Of A Regenerative Rat Liver Model Using A Partial Hepatectomy Method, Tracee L. Popielarczyk

Full-Text Theses & Dissertations

Characterization of transcriptional changes after partial hepatectomy (PH) may provide an understanding of the underlying biological processes involved in compensatory growth and regeneration of liver mass after drug induced liver injury (DILI). Development of this type of model would prove useful as a model for assessment of potential drug induced liver injury that induces a compensatory proliferative response. In this project, we developed a surgical regeneration model (70% partial hepatectomy) in liver of male Sprague Dawley rats. Individual gene markers associated with a regenerative response in liver were evaluated in the partial hepatectomy model and compared to five previous studies …

The Elucidation Of Metabolic Pathways And Their Improvements Using Stable Optimization Of Large-Scale Kinetic Models Of Cellular Systems, Evgeni V. Nikolaev Sep 2009

The Elucidation Of Metabolic Pathways And Their Improvements Using Stable Optimization Of Large-Scale Kinetic Models Of Cellular Systems, Evgeni V. Nikolaev

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Metabolic engineering of cellular systems to maximize reaction fluxes or metabolite concentrations still presents a significant challenge by encountering unpredictable instabilities that can be caused by simultaneous or consecutive enhancements of many reaction steps. It can therefore be important to select carefully small subsets of key enzymes for their subsequent stable modification compatible with cell physiology. To address this important problem, we introduce a general mixed integer non-linear problem (MINLP) formulation to compute automatically which enzyme levels should be modulated and which enzyme regulatory structures should be altered to achieve the given optimization goal using non-linear kinetic models of relevant …

Drawing Lines In The Sand: Even Skipped Et Al. And Parasegment Boundaries., James B. Jaynes, Miki Fujioka

The pair-rule segmentation gene even skipped (eve) is required to activate engrailed stripes and to organize odd-numbered parasegments (PSs). The protein product Eve has been shown to be an active repressor of transcription, and recent models for Eve function suggest that activation of engrailed is indirect, but these models have not been fully tested. Here we identify the forkhead domain transcription factor Sloppy-paired as the key intermediate in the initial activation of engrailed by Eve in odd-numbered parasegments. We also analyze the roles of the transcription factors Runt and Odd-skipped in this process. Detailed analysis of engrailed and pair-rule gene …
