Novel Combination of Sorafenib and Celecoxib Provides Synergistic Anti-Proliferative and Pro-Apoptotic Effects in Human Liver Cancer Cells
(2013)Molecular targeted therapy has shown promise as a treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, recently received FDA approval for the treatment of advanced HCC. However, although ... -
A novel DAG-dependent mechanism links PKCa and Cyclin B1 regulating cell cycle progression
(2014-11)Through the years, different studies showed the involvement of Protein Kinase C (PKC) in cell cycle control, in particular during G1/S transition. Little is known about their role at G2/M checkpoint. In this study, using ... -
Novel diagnostic and analytical applications of benchtop time-domain NMR.
(East Carolina University, 2015)High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique, yet practical application outside of the research laboratory has been limited due to the high cost and complexity of the instrumentation. ... -
The novel dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor NVP-BGT226 displays cytotoxic activity in both normoxic and hypoxic hepatocarcinoma cells
(2015-07)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common lethal human malignancies worldwide and its advanced status is frequently resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. We evaluated the cytotoxic ... -
Novel Function of PUF Proteins and Their Partners in Spermatogenesis and Spermatocyte-Derived Germline Tumors in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-27)Conserved PUF (Pumilio and FBF) proteins repress the translation by binding to its target mRNA 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). C. elegans has 11 PUF proteins. Among them, we focused on two FBFs (FBF-1 and FBF-2) and PUF-8. ... -
Novel role for thioredoxin reductase-2 in mitochondrial redox adaptations to obesogenic diet and exercise in heart and skeletal muscle
(2013)Increased fatty acid availability and oxidative stress are physiological consequences of exercise (Ex) and a high-fat, high-sugar (HFHS) diet. Despite these similarities, the global effects of Ex are beneficial, whereas ... -
NOVEL ROLE OF HUMAN T-CELL LEUKEMIA VIRUS TYPE-1 ENCODED PROTEIN HBZ IN VIRAL TRANSMISSION THROUGH CELL-TO-CELL CONTACT
(East Carolina University, 2017-04-28)The complex retrovirus Human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) is the etiologic agent of several diseases, including Adult T cell leukemia (ATL), a fatal hematological malignancy that affects mainly CD4+ T-cells. Freshly ... -
Nucleotide sequence of the phosphoprotein (P) gene of Newcastle disease virus (strain Beaudette C).

The nucleotide sequence of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyrE-crc-rph region and the purification of the crc gene product.
(East Carolina University, 1996-10)The gene (crc) responsible for catabolite repression control in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been cloned and sequenced. Flanking the crc gene are genes encoding orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (pyrE) and RNase PH (rph). ...
