Title: INVOLVEMENT OF MIR-182 IN THE ACTION OF ATORVASTATIN IN PROSTATE CANCER CELLS

Show moreAtorvastatin (ATO), a widely used statin for lowering cholesterol was examined for its chemopreventive/therapeutic activities in prostate cancer cells. We found that ATO inhibited cell proliferation and induced autophagy in PC3 prostate cancer cells, as marked by significant induction of an autophagy marker LC3-II. Using Taqman RT-PCR technique, we also found that ATO treatment for 24h and 48h consistently up-regulated miR-182 in PC3 cells. However, adding geranylgeraniol (GGOH) to the culture media reversed the effect of ATO in regulating miR-182, suggesting that ATO up-regulates miR-182 through inhibition of geranylgeranyl biosynthesis. Overexpression of miR-182 in PC3 cells significantly decreased cell proliferation by about 36% (MTT assay), while knock-down of miR-182 stimulated cell proliferation by about 43% (MTT assay). In screening for miR-182 target genes, we found that Bcl2 and p21 are potential miR-182 target genes; Bcl2 was significantly down-regulated by ATO at both mRNA and protein levels and miR-182 knock-down up-regulated Bcl2 protein; p21 protein expression was positively correlated with alteration of miR-182 expression levels in PC3 cells. Through screening database of miR-182 target genes from TargetScanHuman 6.2 and PicTar, we found that p21 is not the direct target gene of miR-182, so it could be regulated by miR-182 indirectly. It has recently been established that miR-182 regulation is p53-dependent, since PC3 cells are p53 negative, it is clear that ATO regulates miR-182 in a p53-independent manner. These data demonstrate that miR-182 up-regulation and Bcl2 down-regulation by ATO could be two independent events and both could be involved in ATO mediated cell proliferation and autophagy.

Show moreThe objective of IPRO 305 is to build a wireless broadband network infrastructure along a local river to help Air2Access, an IIT University Technology Park Company, expand its maritime solutions offerings. We will do this by becoming familiar with cutting edge wireless broadband network technologies and the different vendors that offer and use this technology. We will also examine the pilot site and work with the appropriate Agencies to determine any natural, man-made or legal restrictions that we must abide by. To effectively complete our task in a timely manner, our team has divided into two sub-teams. The application team will focus on business applications and how to build them from off-the-shelf and custom built software. The infrastructure team will focus on technologies to support the necessary applications and will focus on the site itself, along with the required hardware deployment.

Show moreWe would like to develop a system that measures the applied torque at a bicycle crank set. In contrast to current solutions, we want to be able to retrofit our system to existing crank sets, obviating the need to abandon parts that the bicyclist already owns. In principle, according to preliminary tests performed at the MMAE department, this can be done using sets of quite inexpensive strain gauges. However, being able to get accurate torque measurements will require some advanced processing of signals from the strain gauges. These signals can then be transmitted wirelessly to a bicycle computer like the Edge 705 that the global positioning system corporation Garmin released this spring. There is a defined wireless protocol, called ANT+Sport, which has been developed specifically for the purpose of transmitting exercise data, such as power output or heart rate, to small computers. Chipsets and development kits for this protocol are also available commercially. Therefore, our task will be to find an optimal configuration of strain gauges that will be attached to the crank set, and to develop an algorithm to process the strain gauge data in order to isolate a signal that is proportional to the applied torque. This signal will then be transmitted to the bicycle computer for display and storage

Show moreRecreational fishing is a sizable market, generating over a billion dollars of economic output and providing well over a million American’s with jobs. There are many variations of fishing hooks available that retain the same basic shape and structure, the most popular examples being, the standard J-hook, treble hook and the new “Trokar”, which is “surgically sharpened”. However, there are many limitations associated with existing fishing hooks. One such limitation is that fishing hooks are not able to reliably hold the fish after embedding. Introducing a barb to the hook usually solves this issue, doing so however creates problems when setting the hook and furthermore, barbs can cause damage to the fish during the removal process. Another concern is that contemporary fishing hooks have problems with snagging on nearby rock formations, algae, weeds, or other vegetation in the water.

Show moreTwo-dimensional angular correlation data from the STAR experiment at RHIC and from the LHC experiments provide critical information about dynamical processes in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The principal correlation structures of interest are a broad jet-related peak at small relative azimuth (φ) extending to large relative pseudorapidity (η), the dijet ridge at large relative azimuth, and an independent double ridge on φ represented by a quadrupole function. The broad peak at small relative azimuth has been attributed, in large part, to initial-state fluctuations and hydrodynamic flow which produce higher-order harmonics on φ. That conjecture is challenged in this paper. It is shown that the net effect of additional higher harmonic model elements is to describe small, non-Gaussian (NG) shapes in the broad jet-related peak. The quadrupole correlation, which is also conventionally attributed to hydrodynamic flow, is considered within the Balitsky - Fadin - Kuraev - Lipatov (BFKL) Pomeron framework. Preliminary results using this model for the quadrupole correlation for particle production from 200 GeV p + p collisions are shown to be consistent with recent data from STAR.

Show moreThe IPRO is pending to be sponsored by ComEd in order to research possible methods of energy conservation. The focus of this project is to design a system that encourages energy conserving behavior in residents by use of an interface that displays real time energy use of a residence. For this system to encourage conservation on a significant scale it is necessary that it can be installed in both new and existing buildings. The interface needs to give detailed enough data about the building’s energy consumption for the user to make well informed decisions of how to save energy, but at the same time the data must be presented in an easy to understand format. Also, the unit or units that provide the data must be accessible enough so that the user can at any time be aware of the impact that activating a certain device will have on energy consumption in their home.
