Assessing cellular and genomic damage from environmental nickel using a GFP containing strain of Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2013)Nickel is a naturally found mineral that has become widely used for many electronic devices. As use and subsequent discarding of nickel containing products continues exposure to nickel increases. Nickel can cause external ... -
HuR involvement in mitotic clonal expansion during acquisition of the adipocyte phenotype
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-29)In the nucleus HuR binds to mRNAs containing adenylate-uridylate rich elements in the 3?- untranslated region. HuR may influence expression of its ligand mRNA through regulation of polyadenylation, translocation of the ... -
p53 and NGAL: dual regulatory roles in advanced prostate cancer
(East Carolina University, 2011)The development of prostate cancer from small regions of hyperplasia to invasive tumors requires genetic and epigenetic alterations of critical cellular components to aid in the development of cells more adapted for aberrant ... -
Phorbol esters induce death in MCF-7 breast cancer cells with altered expression of protein kinase C isoforms. Role for p53-independent induction of gadd-45 in initiating death.
(East Carolina University, 1995-10)Protein kinase C (PKC) modulates growth, differentiation, and apoptosis in a cell-specific fashion. Overexpression of PKC-a in MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7-PKC-a cell) leads to expression of a more transformed phenotype. ... -
Targeting prostate cancer based on signal transduction and cell cycle pathways
(East Carolina University, 2008-06-15)Prostate cancer remains a leading cause of death in men despite increased capacity to diagnose at earlier stages. After prostate cancer has become hormone independent, which often occurs after hormonal ablation therapies, ...
