(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Introduction: The level of alumni's job satisfaction and preparedness has been found to affect the impact in the workplace. Little is known about alumni's employment experience in Qatar. Objective: The aim of this study ...
Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy involves activation of p90 ribosomal S6 Kinase
(
Public Library of Science
, 2015 , Article)
Studies using pharmacological and genetic approaches have shown that increased activity/expression of the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) play a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. Despite the ...
Single-Cell RNA Sequencing with Spatial Transcriptomics of Cancer Tissues
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
Single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) techniques can perform analysis of transcriptome at the single-cell level and possess an unprecedented potential for exploring signatures involved in tumor development and progression. ...
Regulation of Autophagy via Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism in Cancer
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
Metabolic changes are an important component of tumor cell progression. Tumor cells adapt to environmental stresses via changes to carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Autophagy, a physiological process in mammalian cells ...
The Role of p90 Ribosomal S6 Kinase (RSK) in Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)-Induced Cardiotoxicity
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article Review)
Targeted therapy, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has been approved to manage various cancer types. However, TKI-induced cardiotoxicity is a limiting factor for their use. This issue has raised the need for ...
The effect of genetic and nongenetic factors on warfarin dose variability in Qatari population.
(
Pharmacogenomics Journal
, 2020 , Article)
The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of VKORC1, CYP2C9, and CYP4F2 genetic variants and their contribution to warfarin dose variability in Qataris. One hundred and fifty warfarin-treated Qatari patients ...
Empagliflozin inhibits angiotensin II-induced hypertrophy in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts through inhibition of NHE1 expression
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Diabetes mellitus (DM)-induced cardiac morbidities have been the leading cause of death among diabetic patients. Recently, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors including empagliflozin (EMPA), which have been ...
Anti-hypertrophic effect of Na+/H+ exchanger-1 inhibition is mediated by reduced cathepsin B
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Previous studies have established the role of Na+/H+ exchanger isoform-1 (NHE1) and cathepsin B (Cat B) in the development of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy (CH). Both NHE1 and Cat B are activated under acidic conditions ...
Algae-derived bioactive compounds with anti-lung cancer potential
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article Review)
Lung cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Natural molecules with anti-lung cancer potential are of a great interest and considered as very promising alternative to substitute or enhance the efficiency of ...
Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1-induced osteopontin expression facilitates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy
(
Public Library of Science
, 2015 , Article)
Enhanced expression and activity of the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) has been implicated in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in various experimental models. The upregulation of NHE1 was correlated with an increase in osteopontin ...
