L Du, Z Zhao, X Ma, T-H Hsiao, Y Chen, E Young, M Suraokar, I Wistuba, J D Minna & A Pertsemlidis Abstract The disabled homolog 2 (DAB2) gene was recently identified as a tumor suppressor gene with its expression downregulated in multiple cancer types. The role of DAB2 in lung tumorigenesis, however, is not fully […]

S S Roy 1, V K Gonugunta 1, A Bandyopadhyay 2, M K Rao 3, G J Goodall 4, L-Z Sun 3, R R Tekmal 5, R K Vadlamudi 5 Abstract Tumor metastasis is the leading cause of death among breast cancer patients. PELP1 (proline, glutamic acid, and leucine-rich protein 1) is a nuclear receptor coregulator that is upregulated during breast cancer progression to metastasis and is an independent prognostic […]

In this study, we integrated next-generation sequencing approaches to map distant estrogen response elements (DEREs) that […]

Jia Meng, Xiaodong Cui, Manjeet K. Rao, Yidong Chen, Yufei Huang Abstract Motivation: Fragmented RNA immunoprecipitation combined with RNA sequencing enabled the unbiased study of RNA epigenome at a near single-base resolution; however, unique features of this new type of data call for novel computational techniques. Result: Through examining the connections of RNA epigenome sequencing data with two well-studied data […]

Thomas G. Andrews, M.Sc.,* Merry L. Lindsey, PhD,† Richard A. Lange, MD, M.B.A,‡ and Gregory J. Aune, MD, PhD§ Echocardiography is a robust tool for assessing cardiac function in both humans and laboratory animals. Conventional echocardiographic measurements, including chamber dimensions, wall thickness, and ejection fraction are routinely obtained to assess cardiac function in mice. Recently, […]

Fang-Han Hsu; Edward R. Dougherty; Yidong Chen; Erchin Serpedin Abstract: Emerging targeted therapies have shown benefits such as less toxicity and higher effectiveness in specific types of cancer treatment; however, the accessibility of these advantages may rely on the correct identification of suitable patients, which remains highly immature. We assume that copy number profiles, being accessible genomic data […]

Modar Kassan1,2, Soo-Kyoung Choi1, Maria Galán1,2, Alexander Bishop3, Kazuo Umezawa4, Mohamed Trebak5, Souad Belmadani2⇑ , and Khalid Matrougui1,2⇑ Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with vascular dysfunction. We hypothesized that increased nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling contributes to vascular dysfunction in T2D. We treated type 2 diabetic (db−/db−) and control (db−/db+) mice with two NF-κB inhibitors (6 mg/kg dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin twice a week […]
