DIFFERENTIATION OF J-SERIES PROSTAGLANDINS AS PRO-APOPTOTIC PRODUCTS OF CANCER CELL METABOLISM
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-16)Cyclopentenone J-series prostaglandins and prostaglandin-ethanolamide conjugates have been shown to selectively induce endoplasmic reticulum stress-apoptosis in different cancer cell types. These lipids have been identified ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF NOVEL CYTOTOXIC PROSTAGLANDIN METABOLITES PRODUCED IN ARACHIDONOYL ETHANOLAMIDE-TREATED TUMOREGENIC KERATINOCYTES
(East Carolina University, 2012)Arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA) induces apoptosis in mouse tumorigenic keratinocytes (JWF-2 cells). Our previous data show that AEA is metabolized by COX-2 to pro-apoptotic J-series prostaglandins. COX-2 is an enzyme that ... -
Tinigible Body Macrophages in Regulation of Germinal Center Reactions
(East Carolina University, 1998)Tingible body macrophages (TBM), long thought simply as scavengers of apoptotic lymphocytes, are located in the unique microenvironment of germinal centers in close proximity to antigen-retaining follicular dendritic cells ...
