Incidence Of Cancer And Stage At Diagnosis Among People With Recent-Onset Psychotic Disorders, Jared C. Wootten
Incidence Of Cancer And Stage At Diagnosis Among People With Recent-Onset Psychotic Disorders, Jared C. Wootten
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Evidence on cancer incidence in people with psychotic disorders, compared to the general population, is equivocal, although those with psychotic disorders so have more advanced stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis. The objective of this thesis was to compare cancer incidence and stage at diagnosis for people with psychotic disorders, relative to the general population. Our systematic review did not observe a significant difference in overall cancer incidence among people diagnosed with psychotic disorders (RR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.16), however people with psychotic disorders were more likely to be present with advanced stage cancer at …
Differential Effects Of Kim-1 In Subcutaneous And Orthotopic Renca Models Of Kidney Cancer, Demitra M. Yotis Dy
Differential Effects Of Kim-1 In Subcutaneous And Orthotopic Renca Models Of Kidney Cancer, Demitra M. Yotis Dy
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common and fatal type of kidney cancer. Over 30% of patients that are diagnosed with RCC exhibit metastases. Almost 88% of patients with distant metastases succumb to the disease within 5 years of diagnosis. Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) is a cell surface glycoprotein that is not expressed in a healthy kidney but becomes highly expressed on proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) following injury. Data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) reveals that >90% of RCC tumours express KIM-1 mRNA and that higher expression levels correlate with increased overall survival rates of patients. The …
Characterizing The Role Of Tdg In Fxr-Dependent Signaling, Oladapo A. Onabote
Characterizing The Role Of Tdg In Fxr-Dependent Signaling, Oladapo A. Onabote
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Thymine DNA Glycosylase (TDG) plays a key role in active demethylation by excising intermediates of 5-methylcytosine. The function of TDG is required for embryonic development, as Tdg-null embryos die at E11.5. To bypass this embryonic lethality, our lab generated conditional Tdg knockout (TDGCKO) mice. These mice develop late-onset hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), partly due to impaired Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) signaling. Interestingly, Fxr-knockout mice display a similar phenotype and transcriptional profile to TDGCKO mice, prompting us to investigate a role for TDG in FXR signaling. To this end, we generated Tdg/Fxr double-knockout (DKO) mice. …
