Benzyl Isothiocyanate As An Adjuvant Chemotherapy Option For Head And Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Mary Allison Wolf
Benzyl Isothiocyanate As An Adjuvant Chemotherapy Option For Head And Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Mary Allison Wolf
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are natural phytochemicals produced by cruciferous vegetables. Recent evidence supports that, in addition to cancer prevention, ITCs can use various mechanisms to target malignant cells. Current therapies for cancer often provoke detrimental side effects, however clinical evidence supports that ITCs have little to no side effects in patients. Consequently, ITCs may be a promising treatment option for cancer patients, especially patients suffering from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Despite recent improvements in cancer treatment, overall survival of advanced HNSCC has not improved in the past three decades. Metastasis and chemoresistance represent two detrimental events that greatly …
Chmp1 Negatively Regulates Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling In The Drosophila Wing, Meagan Elisabeth Valentine
Chmp1 Negatively Regulates Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling In The Drosophila Wing, Meagan Elisabeth Valentine
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
A critical step in cellular signaling through transmembrane receptors is the down-regulation of activated receptors through the multivesicular body (MVB) pathway to the lysosome. MVB generation is mediated by the highly conserved ESCRT (0, I, II, and III) protein complexes. Though the ESCRT-III complex provides the core function of the ESCRT machinery, it is the least characterized of the ESCRT complexes. The Chmp1 protein is an ESCRT-III component and a putative tumor suppressor that has been linked to pancreatic and renal cancers in humans. However, published data on Chmp1 activity are conflicting and its role during tissue development is not …

Cardiovascular Aging In The Female F344xbn Rat Model, Jacqueline C. Fannin
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Despite continued advances in medical care, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death for American women [1]. Although humans and non-human primates are the only mammals to experience menses, rodent models are commonly used to study age-associated cardiovascular alterations due to similar ovarian aging, low expense, and short lifetime to investigate cardiovascular aging. Previous studies have found that aging in the female rodent is characterized by increased ventricular apoptosis, elevations in oxidative-nitrosative stress, ventricular remodeling, increased collagen content, mild systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and reduced occurrence of arrhythmias compared to males [2-7]. Similarly, age-associated alterations in the female …
Therapeutic Efficacy Of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Against Sepsis Induced Multi-Organ Dysfunction Syndrome In Sprague Dawley Rats, Nandini Durga Prasanna Kumar Manne
Therapeutic Efficacy Of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Against Sepsis Induced Multi-Organ Dysfunction Syndrome In Sprague Dawley Rats, Nandini Durga Prasanna Kumar Manne
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Sepsis is a generalized term that signifies the presence of a pathogen in the blood stream to which the body responds by eliciting a systemic inflammatory response. Although sepsis is the leading cause of death in non-coronary intensive care units in United States, there are currently no FDA approved therapeutic drugs to treat this disorder. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2) have been shown to exhibit anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties both in vitro and in vivo. Whether CeO2 nanoparticles can be used for the treatment of sepsis is currently unclear.
To investigate whether CeO2 nanoparticles can …
Identification And Characterization Of Downstream Effector Protein(S) Regulated By P53 And Prb, Miranda B. Carper
Identification And Characterization Of Downstream Effector Protein(S) Regulated By P53 And Prb, Miranda B. Carper
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
A commonality among cancer types is the high frequency of mutations that inhibit or alter signaling of the p53 and pRb (Retinoblastoma) tumor suppressors. These genes regulate processes vital for cancer suppression such as apoptosis, senescence, and cell cycle arrest among others. Loss of both p53 and pRb promotes processes that support cancer progression and is associated with decreased patient survival and increased rates of tumor reoccurrence. Although data points to the ability of p53 and pRb to collaborate and to inhibit tumorigenesis, it remains unclear how p53 and pRb cooperate toward this task. Using RNA expression profiling, 179 p53 …
