An examination of the functional role of TMEFF2 in prostate cancer and the translational regulatory mechanisms controlling its expression
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men and accounts for approximately 11% of cancer-related deaths. Although promising treatment strategies have been developed and are currently being tested ...
Resolving the Role of POU1F1 in Human Growth Hormone Locus Activation
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The human growth hormone gene ( hGH-N) is regulated by a distal locus control region (LCR) composed of five deoxyribonuclease I hypersensitive sites (HSs). The region encompassing HSI and HSII contains the predominant ...
Effects of Exogenous and Autocrine Growth Hormone (hGH) on Prostate Cancer Cell Function
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Human growth hormone (hGH) is a major product of the anterior pituitary. In addition to its endocrine activities, hGH overexpression in extra-pituitary tissues has been correlated with the oncogenic behavior of these ...
Using TIRF microscopy to analyze stimulated and basal state B-cell MHC II clustering in response to ageing and dietary fish oil
(East Carolina University, 2013)
This research focused on developing an efficient TIRF microscopy approach to evaluate membrane protein organization. More specifically, the data demonstrate that TIRF microscopy can detect changes in ex vivo B-cell MHC II ...
