Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects host cells following binding with the cell surface ACE2 receptors, thereby leading to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2 causes viral pneumonia with additional extrapulmonary manifestations and major complications, including acute myocardial injury, arrhythmia, and shock mainly in elderly patients. Furthermore, patients with existing cardiovascular comorbidities, such as hypertension and...

Abstract Background Drug addiction is a chronically relapsing disorder in humans yet the underlying mechanism remained unclear. Recent studies suggested that histidine triad nucleotide binding protein1 (HINT1) may play significant roles in diverse neuropsychiatric diseases including drug addiction. Methods In the current study, we used different batches of...
Abstract Topiramate, an antiepileptic drug, has been found to be useful for the treatment of aggression in clinical populations. Most preclinical studies related to Topiramate have been focused exclusively on the quantitative aspects of the aggressive behavior between mice. However, there is still limited knowledge regarding the effects of Topiramate on neuronal mechanisms occurring in aggressive mice. The present work aims to understand further the effects of the antiepileptic...

The 7SK small nuclear RNA (7SKsnRNA) plays a key role in the regulation of RNA polymerase II by sequestrating and inhibiting the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) in the 7SK ribonucleoprotein complex (7SKsnRNP), a process mediated by interaction with the protein HEXIM. P-TEFb is also an essential cellular factor recruited by the viral protein Tat to ensure the replication of the viral RNA in the infection cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). Tat promotes the release...

Modern crop breeding is in constant demand for new genetic diversity as part of the arms race with genetic gain. The elite gene pool has limited genetic variation and breeders are trying to introduce novelty from unadapted germplasm, landraces and wild relatives. For polygenic traits, currently available approaches to introgression are not ideal, as there is a demonstrable bias against exotic alleles during selection. Here, we propose a partitioned form of genomic selection, called Origin Specific...
Linkage mapping has been widely used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) in many plants and usually requires a time-consuming and labor-intensive fine mapping process to find the causal gene underlying the QTL. Previously, we described QTG-Finder, a machine-learning algorithm to rationally prioritize candidate causal genes in QTLs. While it showed good performance, QTG-Finder could only be used in Arabidopsis and rice because of the limited number of known causal genes in other species. Here...

Purpose: Low dose computed tomography (CT) screening can reduce lung cancer mortality. However, CT screening has a false discovery rate of nearly 96%. We sought to assess if urine samples can be a source for DNA methylation-based detection of non-small cell lung cancer. Experimental Design: This nested case-control study of subjects with suspicious nodules on CT imaging obtained plasma and urine samples pre-operatively. Cases (n=74) had pathological confirmation of non-small cell lung cancer. Controls...
CD8+ T-cell-mediated immunoediting influences genomic evolution and immune evasion in murine gliomas
Purpose: Cancer immunoediting shapes tumor progression by the selection of tumor cell variants that can evade immune recognition. Given the immune evasion and intra-tumor heterogeneity characteristic of gliomas, we hypothesized that CD8+ T-cells mediate immunoediting in these tumors. Experimental Design: We developed retrovirus-induced PDGF+Pten-/- murine gliomas and evaluated glioma progression and tumor immunogenicity in the absence of CD8+ T-cells by depleting this immune cell population. Furthermore,...
Purpose: The cytokine interleukin 22 (IL-22) promotes tumor progression in murine models of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the clinical significance of IL-22 in human CRC remains unclear. We sought to determine whether the IL-22 pathway is associated with prognosis in human CRC, and to identify mechanisms by which IL-22 can influence disease progression. Experimental Design: Transcriptomic data from stage II/III colon cancers in independent discovery (GSE39582 population-based cohort, N=566) and...

Abstract Lack of substantive research experiences and technical skills mentoring during undergraduate studies leaves many underrepresented minority (URM) students unprepared to apply to competitive graduate programs. As a part of our ongoing effort to increase the pipeline for the development and training of successful URM scientists in biomedical sciences with focus on reducing cancer health disparities, the Florida-California Cancer Research Education and Engagement (CaRE2)...
