Assessing the metabolic and toxic effects of anticonvulsant doses of polyunsaturated fatty acids on the liver in ratsAmeer Y Taha
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
J Toxicol Environ Health A 72:1191-200. 2009..These findings suggest that PUFA, given for 3 wk at anticonvulsant doses, result in significant changes in liver lipid metabolism, but do not alter measured genetic markers of liver toxicity...
UHRF1 is a genome caretaker that facilitates the DNA damage response to gamma-irradiationHelena Mistry
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, M5 S 1A8, Canada
Genome Integr 1:7. 2010..Previous studies have demonstrated that loss of UHRF1 increases the sensitivity of cells to DNA damage however the role of UHRF1 in this response is unclear...
Essential role for Bclaf1 in lung development and immune system functionJ Peter McPherson
Department of Pharmacology, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
Cell Death Differ 16:331-9. 2009..Our findings show a critical role for Bclaf1 in developmental processes independent of apoptosis...
In search of a function for BCLAF1Haya Sarras
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Toronto, Canada
ScientificWorldJournal 10:1450-61. 2010..We also present recent findings from our laboratory and others indicating a role for BCLAF1 in post-transcriptional processes that impact mRNA metabolism, instead of a direct role for this protein in apoptosis or transcription...
A role for Mus81 in the repair of chromium-induced DNA damageLaura Tamblyn
Department of Pharmacology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 1A8
Mutat Res 660:57-65. 2009..Our findings support a role for Mus81 in the resolution of replication-associated DNA damage associated with this genotoxic agent, by converting Cr[VI]-DNA lesions into a form more amenable for homologous recombination...
A role for Brca1 in chromosome end maintenanceJ Peter McPherson
Advanced Medical Discovery Institute, Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 2C1
Hum Mol Genet 15:831-8. 2006..The telomere dysfunction phenotype in Brca1-deficient cells suggests that loss of telomere integrity might contribute to chromosome end dysfunction and permit the formation of potentially oncogenic translocations...
