Dr. Cheryl Jorcyk Co-authored an Article Published in Cancer Research
Hedeen, D. S., Tawara, K., Nandakumar, M., Fox, R., Chang, D., Ide, A., Oler, A., … Jorcyk, C. L. (August 02, 2015). Abstract 4183: Differential expression of VEGF in breast cancer cells induced by gp130 cytokines. Cancer Research, 75, 4183. DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.AM2015-4183. Glycoprotein 130 (gp130) is a glycosylated type 1 membrane protein and functions as a cytokine receptor modulating activity of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family cytokines, which include IL-6, IL-11, IL-27, oncostatin M (OSM), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), cardiotrophin 1 (CT-1), cardiotrophin-like cytokine (CLC), and neuropoietin (NP).
Drs. Cheryl Jorcyk and Julie Oxford Co-authored an Article Published in PubMed Central
Goyden J, Tawara K, Hedeen D, Willey JS, Oxford JT, Jorcyk CL. The Effect of OSM on MC3T3-E1 Osteoblastic Cells in Simulated Microgravity with Radiation. PLoS One. 2015 Jun 1;10(6):e0127230. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0127230. PubMed PMID: 26030441; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC4452373. Bone deterioration is a challenge in long-term spaceflight with significant connections to patients experiencing disuse bone loss. Prolonged unloading and radiation exposure, defining characteristics of space travel, have both been associated with changes in inflammatory signaling via IL-6 class cytokines in bone.
