The effect of oxidation-reduction potential on the outgrowth and chemical inhibition of Clostridium botulinum type E spores
… mv), and reduced (Eh = -190 mv) media. However, inhibition by sodium chloride (3.5% and 4.0%), hydrogen ions (pH 5.11 and 5.05), and sucrose (30% and 35%) revealed an increased lag phase and a decreased maximum absorbance for growth in the oxidized medium compared to growth in the reduced medium. …

Chemical Inhibition of Nitrification: Evaluating Methods to Detect and Characterize Inhibition and the Role of Selected Stress Responses Upon Exposure to Oxidative and Hydrophobic Toxins
This research first examined nitrification inhibition caused by different classes of industrially relevant chemicals on activated sludge and found that conventional aerobic nitrification was inhibited by single pulse inputs of every chemical tested, with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (oxidant) having …

INVESTIGATIONS OF DNA DAMAGE AND REPAIR IN THE HUMAN LENS
… by western blot and immunocytochemistry. Chemical inhibition of PARP-1 activity was also undertaken. Results: A 24 hour exposure to hydrogen peroxide induced a concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability and increase in cytotoxicity and apoptosis. A 24 hour exposure to 1mM H2O2 …

Determination of Absolute Protein Content of Hepatic CYP4F Enzymes in Human Liver Microsomes Using LC/MS/MS Methodology and Comparison with Immunoquantification and Enzyme Activity
… metabolite formation rates for DB289 or DB1230. Chemical inhibition experiments were performed which provided additional evidence for the metabolism for DB289 and DB1230 by enzymes other than CYP4F enzymes. However, a lack of improved correlation for the chemical inhibition experiments suggest …

Elucidating The Direct Role of M6A In The Human Transcriptome
… through genomic alterations or transcript inhibition, but rather we focus on the direct targeting of proteins for degradation and rapid chemical inhibition of the m6A methyltransferase in a human cell model HCT116. This study allows for the direct analysis of the m6A modification in RNA …

Design and Synthesis of Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Analogues for Investigating the Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) of Inhibitors of TPP-dependent Enzymes
… significantly in substrate preferences and biochemical reactions. To study these enzymes by chemical inhibition, the most popular way is to use thiamine/TPP analogues, which typically feature a neutral aromatic ring in place of TPP’s positive thiazolium ring. In response to the growing demand …

PRMT5 Inhibitors in Merkel Cell Carcinoma
… a new therapeutic strategy for MCC based on chemical inhibition of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5). PRMT5 inhibitors are already being tested in a variety of other solid and liquid tumors to good effect. Our data suggest that PRMT5 inhibitors may be effective in treating a …

Investigations into the Mechanisms that Are Responsible for Reduction in Colonic SN-38 Exposure
… (2) investigate the potential of certain chemicals and natural products to reduce colonic exposure of SN-38 by inhibiting biliary and intestinal excretions of SN-38 and SN-38 glucuronide employing the modified in situ rat perfusion model; and (3) determine if the selected chemicals and …

Host Modulators of the Death Response to Influenza A Infection
… suicide checkpoint activation. Pharmacological inhibition of representative targets, RGGT and CHEK1, resulted in significant protection against infection of human epithelial cells by the A/WS/33 virus. In addition, chemical inhibition of RGGT partially protected against H5N1 and the 2009 H1N1 …

Roles For B-Raf Kinase In The Specific Regulation of Α4Β1 Integrin In T Cells
… pathway members are being discovered. We show chemical inhibition of RAF by Sorafenib or shRNA-mediated knockdown of B-Raf reduces T cell resistance to shear stress to α4β1 integrin ligands vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and fibronectin (FN), while inhibition of MEK/ERK by U0126 had …

Nuclear receptor co-repressor functions in prostate cancer; in vitro, in vivo and in silico approaches
… when compared to non-malignant RWPE-1 cells. Chemical inhibition of NCOR1, via the HDAC inhibitor SAHA, or NCOR1 knock-down, via shRNA, restored PC-3 cells sensitivity to NR agonists with exception of Vitamin D and Thyroid Hormone T3. NCOR1-knock down led also to a re-expression of basally …

Investigating the mitotic roles of Topoisomerase 2 Alpha and Topoisomerase 2 Beta-Binding Protein 1 in the maintenance of chromosome structure and genome stability
… in human tumour-derived cell lines using both chemical inhibition and depletion (through siRNA and genetically modified cell lines) to disrupt the two isoforms. My findings indicate that, in cells in which chromosome compaction has already occurred (prometaphase-metaphase), either chemical …

Uncovering the role of notch signaling in development of hypothalamic nuclei in vivo and using in vitro microenvironments
… mRNA or protein expression. We found that acute chemical inhibition of Notch signaling was sufficient to significantly reduce direct downstream Notch signaling Hes1, Hes5, and Hey1. This coincided with a significant increase in the proneural gene Mash1, suggesting that some of the machinery …

The role of PLK1 in NLRP3 inflammasome activation
… PLK1 inhibitors, I demonstrated that PLK1 inhibition impairs the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Accordingly, PLK1 levels are tightly regulated over the course of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. I generated multiple in vitro PLK1 depletion models in macrophages and combined them with the …
