Barham C1, Fil D1,2, Byrum SD3, Rahmatallah Y4, Glazko G4, Kiaei M5,6,7. Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that leads to the loss of motor neurons. The molecular mechanisms of motor neuron degeneration are largely unknown and there are currently no effective therapies to treat this disease. In this work, we report whole transcriptome profiling of […]

The effect of aging on the autophagic and heat shock response in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
McCormick JJ1, VanDusseldorp TA1,2, Ulrich CG1, Lanphere RL3, Dokladny K4, Mosely PL5, Mermier CM1. Abstract Autophagy is a lysosome degradation pathway through which damaged organelles and macromolecules are degraded within the cell. A decrease in activity of the autophagic process has been linked to several age-associated pathologies, including triglyceride accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, muscle degeneration, and cardiac malfunction. Here, we examined the […]
Gene Expression Differences in Pediatric Lymphatic Malformations: Size Really Matters
Gomez-Acevedo H1, Dornhoffer JR2, Stone A3,4, Dai Y5, Richter GT6,7. Abstract Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are congenital vascular anomalies characterized by dilated and cystic lymphatic channels. They are subdivided into macrocystic and microcystic lesions based upon the predominant size of the cysts involved. However, significant differences in clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and prognosis between macrocytic and microcytic disease suggest variation […]
PARP1 Is Up-Regulated in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Tissues in the Presence of the Cyanobacterial Toxin Microcystin
Apopa PL1, Alley L1, Penney RB2, Arnaoutakis K3, Steliga MA3, Jeffus S4, Bircan E1, Gopalan B5, Jin J1, Patumcharoenpol P6, Jenjaroenpun P6, Wongsurawat T6, Shah N7, Boysen G2, Ussery D6, Nookaew I6, Fagan P8, Bebek G9,10,11, Orloff MS1,3. Abstract Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the major form of lung cancer, with adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) being its major subtypes. Smoking alone cannot completely explain the lung cancer etiology. We […]

Protocol for the Analysis of Laser Capture Microdissected Fresh-Frozen Tissue Homogenates by Silver-Stained 1D SDS-PAGE
Methods Mol Biol. 2018;1723:95-110. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-7558-7_4. Prieto DA, Whitely G, Johann DJ Jr, Blonder J Abstract The heterogeneity present in solid tumors adds significant difficulty to scientific analysis and improved understanding. Fundamentally, solid tumor formation consists of cancer cells proper along with stromal elements. The burgeoning malignant process is dependent upon modified stromal elements. Collectively, […]
