- Biological electron transfer: an investigation of riboflavin.
- Creator
- Caplan, Stacee Lee, Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
- Abstract/Description
-
Most living organisms utilize electron transport chains in order to obtain energy. Riboflavin, commonly known as vitamin B2, is the central component of the redox coenzymes flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). These cofactors serve as a prosthetic group to flavoproteins and function as the energy-carrying molecules in electron transfer reactions. In this study, the different ionization and oxidation states of riboflavin were identified and quantified as a...
Show moreMost living organisms utilize electron transport chains in order to obtain energy. Riboflavin, commonly known as vitamin B2, is the central component of the redox coenzymes flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). These cofactors serve as a prosthetic group to flavoproteins and function as the energy-carrying molecules in electron transfer reactions. In this study, the different ionization and oxidation states of riboflavin were identified and quantified as a function of solution potential and pH. To accomplish this task, spectroelectrochemical reductions of riboflavin at different pH were performed. Spectroscopic data offer clues concerning the identity of underlying species, such as oxidation/ionization states and the controlling equilibria. The large data sets obtained from these experiments were analyzed and the acid dissociation constant for reduced riboflavin was determined.

SRSF1 is a widely expressed mammalian protein with multiple functions in the regulation of gene expression through processes including transcription, mRNA splicing, and translation. Although much is known of SRSF1 role in alternative splicing of specific genes little is known about its functions as a transcription factor and its global effect on cellular gene expression. We utilized a RNA sequencing (RNA-¬‐Seq) approach to determine the impact of SRSF1 in on cellular gene expression and...
Show moreSRSF1 is a widely expressed mammalian protein with multiple functions in the regulation of gene expression through processes including transcription, mRNA splicing, and translation. Although much is known of SRSF1 role in alternative splicing of specific genes little is known about its functions as a transcription factor and its global effect on cellular gene expression. We utilized a RNA sequencing (RNA-¬‐Seq) approach to determine the impact of SRSF1 in on cellular gene expression and analyzed both the short term (12 hours) and long term (48 hours) effects of SRSF1 expression in a human cell line. Furthermore, we analyzed and compared the effect of the expression of a naturally occurring deletion mutant of SRSF1 (RRM12) to the full-¬‐length protein. Our analysis reveals that shortly after SRSF1 is over-¬‐expressed the transcription of several histone coding genes is down-¬‐regulated, allowing for a more relaxed chromatin state and efficient transcription by RNA Polymerase II. This effect is reversed at 48 hours. At the same time key genes for the immune pathways are activated, more notably Tumor Necrosis Factor-¬‐Alpha (TNF-¬‐α), suggesting a role for SRSF1 in T cell functions.

- Abstract/Description

Aging is the number one risk factor for numerous chronic diseases driving increased morbidity and healthcare costs globally. Thus, finding ways to uncouple chronical aging with risk of disease is imperative. Extensive evidence links aging with increased oxidative stress. The free radical theory of aging posits that reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase with age and cause oxidative damage to cellular components, thereby driving aging.

Show moreAging is the number one risk factor for numerous chronic diseases driving increased morbidity and healthcare costs globally. Thus, finding ways to uncouple chronical aging with risk of disease is imperative. Extensive evidence links aging with increased oxidative stress. The free radical theory of aging posits that reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase with age and cause oxidative damage to cellular components, thereby driving aging. In support of this, overexpressing the endogenous antioxidant catalase specifically in mitochondria (mCAT transgene) improves health and lifespan of mice. I hypothesized that if ROS is a root cause of aging then the mCAT transgene would slow aging in a murine model of a human progeroid syndrome (Ercc1-/Δ mice). Unfortunately, mCAT expression was not highly expressed in all tissues. Nevertheless, mCAT+/-;Ercc1-/Δ mice showed improvements in functional tests and health evaluations relative to Ercc1-/Δ mice supporting the conclusion that ROS plays an important causal role in aging. matching, pre-transplant assessments and allocation of organs. In addition, I will discuss ethical principles that can be used to aid transplant teams in the difficult task of allocating of organs. I will also evaluate alternative options to the current transplant process such as an opt-out vs. an opt-in system and controlled financial payment for organs. Finally, I will analyze current policies regarding living donors and suggest avenues for future research into alternative resources for organs.

Show moreAging is associated with chronic diseases and is attributed to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs globally. Controversy exists over the root cause(s) of aging, nonetheless, extensive research links increased oxidants and reduced antioxidant buffering capacity with aging. The free radical theory of aging posits that the toxic build-up of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), promotes oxidative stress and enhances aging. Investigations involving the effect of mitochondrial-targeted catalase, have proven to be beneficial in reducing ROS and increasing lifespan in naturally aged mice. My project involves investigating the biological benefit of the mCAT transgene and rescue of age-related functional decline in progeroid Ercc1-/∆ mice, an accelerated mouse model of aging. mCAT expression was shown to be largely restricted to the brain, heart, and muscle of mice. mCAT+/-;Ercc1-/∆ mice showed improvements in behavioral tests and health evaluations relative to controls.
