  • physical and chemical analysis of plasma treated cotton fabric subjected to wrinkle Resistant finishing
    Cellulose, 2011
    Co-Authors: Cwm Yuen
    Abstract:

    Cotton fabrics were treated with oxygen plasma gas and/or wrinkle-Resistant finishing agent with polycarboxylic acid. The results of wicking rate, contact angle and wettability tests revealed that the atmospheric plasma Treatment significantly improved hydrophilicity of cotton fiber. Such improvement greatly enhances the effectiveness of post-finishing processes. The study showed that chemical composition of cotton fabric surface changed after plasma and wrinkle-Resistant Treatment. Chemical composition of surface of treated cotton specimens was evaluated with different characterization methods, namely, FTIR-ATR and EDX. The experimental results are thoroughly discussed.

  • the plasticity of oncogene addiction implications for targeted therapies directed to receptor tyrosine kinases
    Neoplasia, 2009
    Co-Authors: Vinochani Pillay, Layal Allaf, Alexander L Wilding, Jacqui F Donoghue, Naomi Wynne Court, Sameer A. Greenall, Andrew M. Scott
    Abstract:

    A common mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an extracellular truncation known as the de2-7 EGFR (or EGFRvIII). Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is the ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) c-Met, and this signaling axis is often active in GBM. The expression of the HGF/c-Met axis or de2-7 EGFR independently enhances GBMgrowth and invasiveness, particularly through the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/pAkt pathway. Using RTK arrays, we show that expression of de2-7 EGFR in U87MG GBM cells leads to the coactivation of several RTKs, including platelet-derived growth factor receptor β and c-Met. A neutralizing antibody to HGF (AMG102) did not inhibit de2-7 EGFR-mediated activation of c-Met, demonstrating that it is ligand-independent. Therapy for parental U87MG xenografts with AMG 102 resulted in significant inhibition of tumor growth, whereas U87MG.Δ2-7 xenografts were profoundly Resistant. Treatment of U87MG.Δ2-7 xenografts with panitumumab, an anti-EGFR antibody, only partially inhibited tumor growth as xenografts rapidly reverted to the HGF/c-Met signaling pathway. CoTreatment with panitumumab and AMG 102 prevented this escape leading to significant tumor inhibition through an apoptotic mechanism, consistent with the induction of oncogenic shock. This observation provides a rationale for using panitumumab and AMG 102 in combination for the Treatment of GBM patients. These results illustrate that GBM cells can rapidly change the RTK driving their oncogene addiction if the alternate RTK signals through the same downstream pathway. Consequently, inhibition of a dominant oncogene by targeted therapy can alter the hierarchy of RTKs resulting in rapid therapeutic resistance.
