Journal ArticleDOI
Cystathione β-Synthase Is Increased in Thyroid Malignancies.
Elba A. Turbat-Herrera,Matthew J. Kilpatrick,Jie Chen,Andrew T. Meram,James D. Cotelingam,Ghali E. Ghali,Christopher G. Kevil,Domenico Coppola,Rodney E. Shackelford +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that an H2S-syntheszing enzyme plays a role in thyroid malignancies for the first time, and the data suggest that CBS and NAMPT immunohistochemistry may be useful in differentiating follicular adenomas from follicular carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen Sulfide Is Increased in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Compared to Adjacent Benign Oral Mucosae.
Andrew T. Meram,Jie Chen,Stavan Patel,Dongsoo David Kim,Brett Shirley,Paul Covello,Domenico Coppola,Eric X Wei,Ghali E. Ghali,Christopher G. Kevil,Rodney E. Shackelford +10 more
TL;DR: For the first time H2S concentrations within a living human malignancy were measured and compared to adjacent benign oral mucosae and adjacent counterpart benign tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen sulfide and DNA repair
Rodney E. Shackelford,Ekin Ozluk,Mohammad Z. Islam,Brian Hopper,Andrew T. Meram,Ghali E. Ghali,Christopher G. Kevil +6 more
TL;DR: The role of H 2 S in the DRR and maintenance of genomic stability is reviewed, and it is revealed that H 1 S bioavailability and the ATR kinase regulate each other with ATR inhibition lowering cellular H 2S concentrations, whereas intracellular H2 S concentrations regulate ATR Kinase activity via ATR serine 435 phosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Functions of Hydrogen Sulfide in Cancer
Rodney E. Shackelford,Islam Z. Mohammad,Andrew T. Meram,David Kim,Fawaz Alotaibi,Stavan Patel,Ghali E. Ghali,Christopher G. Kevil +7 more
TL;DR: The role of H2S in cancer is reviewed, with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms by which H 2S promotes cancer development, progression, dedifferentiation, and metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ataxia telangiectasia-mutated and Rad3-related protein kinase regulates cellular hydrogen sulfide concentrations
Jie Chen,Xinggui Shen,Sibile Pardue,Andrew T. Meram,Saranya Rajendran,Ghali E. Ghali,Christopher G. Kevil,Rodney E. Shackelford +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that human colorectal cancer cells carrying biallelic knock-in hypomorphic ATR mutations have lower cellular H2S concentrations than do syngeneic ATR wild-type cells, and all three H1S-synthesizing enzymes show lower protein expression in the ATR hypomorphic mutant cells.
