Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are elevated in a range of cancers and are emerging as significant contributors to the leukaemogenesis of ALL. ROS modulate the function of signalling proteins through oxidation of cysteine residues, as well as promote genomic instability by damaging DNA, to promote chemotherapy resistance. Current therapeutic approaches exploit the pro-oxidant intracellular environment of malignant B and T lympho-blasts to cause irreversible DNA damage and cell death, however these strategies impact normal haematopoiesis and lead to long lasting side-effects. Therapies suppressing ROS production, espe-cially those targeting ROS producing enzymes such as the NADPH oxidases (NOXs), are emerging alternatives to treat cancers and may be exploited to improve the ALL treatment. Here, we discuss the roles that ROS play in normal haematopoiesis and in ALL. We explore the molecular mechanisms underpinning overproduction of ROS in ALL, and their roles in disease progression and drug resistance. Finally, we examine strategies to target ROS production, with a specific focus on the NOX enzymes, to improve the treatment of ALL.]]> Wed 05 Oct 2022 15:18:52 AEDT ]]> Proteomic analysis of koala (phascolarctos cinereus) spermatozoa and prostatic bodies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43968 Wed 05 Oct 2022 14:15:31 AEDT ]]> Transgenerational inheritance: how impacts to the epigenetic and genetic information of parents affect offspring health https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38138 Wed 04 Aug 2021 15:42:40 AEST ]]> Dynamin 2-dependent endocytosis is essential for mouse oocyte development and fertility https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45607 Wed 02 Nov 2022 14:14:14 AEDT ]]> The contribution of epididymosomes to the sperm small RNA profile https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47818 Wed 01 Feb 2023 09:51:54 AEDT ]]> Male Infertility: Shining a Light on Lipids and Lipid-Modulating Enzymes in the Male Germline https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49743 Tue 30 May 2023 15:29:49 AEST ]]> Investigation into the presence and functional significance of proinsulin C-peptide in the female germline https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47613 Tue 24 Jan 2023 11:43:18 AEDT ]]> Phospho-heavy-labeled-spiketide FAIMS stepped-CV DDA (pHASED) provides real-time phosphoproteomics data to aid in cancer drug selection https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51137 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:58:50 AEST ]]> Global profiling of the proteomic changes associated with the post-testicular maturation of mouse spermatozoa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51128 6,000 proteins, encompassing the selective loss and gain of several hundred proteins.

In extending our systematic characterisation of saltwater crocodile spermatozoa, in this study we examined the development of motility during sperm transport through the excurrent duct system of the male crocodile. The results show that approximately 20% of crocodile testicular spermatozoa are immediately motile but experience a gradient of increasing motility (percentage motile and rate of movement) as they transit the male reproductive tract (epididymis). Moreover, we confirmed that, as in ejaculated crocodile spermatozoa, increased intracellular cAMP levels promoted a significant and sustained enhancement of sperm motility regardless of whether the cells were isolated from the testis or epididymis. Along with the development of artificial reproductive technologies, this research paves the way for the opportunistic recovery, storage and potential utilisation of post-mortem spermatozoa from genetically valuable animals.]]> Tue 09 Aug 2022 14:34:34 AEST ]]> Molecular insights into the divergence and diversity of post-testicular maturation strategies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40953 Tue 07 Nov 2023 09:51:49 AEDT ]]> Heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2): regulatory roles in germ cell development and sperm function https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33498 Tue 06 Nov 2018 11:19:37 AEDT ]]> Time-resolved proteomic profiling of cigarette smoke-induced experimental chronic obstructive pulmonary disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43823 Tue 04 Oct 2022 11:04:24 AEDT ]]> Characteristics of the epididymal luminal environment responsible for sperm maturation and storage https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34727 Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:57:47 AEST ]]> Improved methods of DNA extraction from human spermatozoa that mitigate experimentally-induced oxidative DNA damage https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34948 Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:57:02 AEST ]]> Characteristics of the epididymal luminal environment responsible for sperm maturation and storage https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34015 Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:54:59 AEST ]]> Developmental expression of the dynamin family of mechanoenzymes in the mouse epididymis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34016 Thu 30 May 2019 15:47:52 AEST ]]> Characterization of a novel role for the dynamin mechanoenzymes in the regulation of human sperm acrosomal exocytosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34014 Thu 30 May 2019 15:41:20 AEST ]]> Analysis of epididymal protein synthesis and secretion https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34868 Thu 30 May 2019 15:31:33 AEST ]]> The Impacts of Wireless Communication Electromagnetic Fields on Human Reproductive Biology https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49642 Thu 25 May 2023 08:40:46 AEST ]]> The role of molecular chaperones in mouse sperm-egg interactions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:465 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:09:55 AEST ]]> Oxidative damage in naturally aged mouse oocytes is exacerbated by dysregulation of proteasomal activity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43344 Thu 15 Sep 2022 15:19:01 AEST ]]> Mouse quiescin sulfhydryl oxidases exhibit distinct epididymal luminal distribution with segment-specific sperm surface associations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43294 Thu 15 Sep 2022 12:51:41 AEST ]]> Modification of crocodile spermatozoa refutes the tenet that post-testicular sperm maturation is restricted to mammals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35956 Thu 14 May 2020 15:11:42 AEST ]]> The role of molecular chaperones in mouse sperm-egg interactions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1255 Thu 09 Nov 2023 15:42:12 AEDT ]]> Elucidation of the protein composition of mouse seminal vesicle fluid https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47101 Thu 06 Jul 2023 14:06:28 AEST ]]> Molecular mechanisms responsible for increased vulnerability of the ageing oocyte to oxidative damage https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30490 Thu 03 Feb 2022 12:19:24 AEDT ]]> The identification of mouse sperm-surface-associated proteins and characterization of their ability to act as decapacitation factors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1202 Thu 01 Aug 2019 17:27:56 AEST ]]> Proteomics of human spermatozoa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8464 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:09 AEDT ]]> The biological significance of detergent-resistant membranes in spermatozoa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7212 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:56 AEDT ]]> Composition and significance of detergent resistant membranes in mouse spermatozoa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7044 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:51 AEDT ]]> Adding insult to injury: effects of xenobiotic-induced preantral ovotoxicity on ovarian development and oocyte fusibility https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9651 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:26 AEDT ]]> Rabbit epididymal secretory proteins.

Notably, this response was completely abrogated by pharmacological inhibition of key elements (DNA-PKcs and DNA ligase IV) of the canonical non-homologous end joining DNA repair pathway, thus providing the first evidence implicating this reparative cascade in the protection of the maternal genome.]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:15:15 AEST ]]> Supporting information for "Development of peptides for targeting cell ablation agents concurrently to the Sertoli and Leydig cell populations of the testes: an approach to non-surgical sterilization" https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54399 Mon 18 Mar 2024 13:06:51 AEDT ]]> Metabolic Changes Accompanying Spermatogonial Stem Cell Differentiation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40758 Mon 18 Jul 2022 13:54:17 AEST ]]> Epididymal CYP2E1 plays a critical role in acrylamide-induced DNA damage in spermatozoa and paternally mediated embryonic resorptions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34117 Mon 11 Feb 2019 16:05:21 AEDT ]]> Proteomic analysis of human spermatozoa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33479 Mon 05 Nov 2018 11:10:42 AEDT ]]> High Resolution Proteomic Analysis of Subcellular Fractionated Boar Spermatozoa Provides Comprehensive Insights Into Perinuclear Theca-Residing Proteins https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48239 Mon 01 May 2023 14:49:55 AEST ]]> Reproduction in Monotremes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41288 Mon 01 Aug 2022 11:41:21 AEST ]]> Acrylamide modulates the mouse epididymal proteome to drive alterations in the sperm small non-coding RNA profile and dysregulate embryo development https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40281 Fri 29 Jul 2022 13:23:12 AEST ]]> New horizons in human sperm selection for assisted reproduction https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51228 Fri 25 Aug 2023 11:51:38 AEST ]]> Platelet activating factor receptor acts to limit colitis-induced liver inflammation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41982 Fri 19 Apr 2024 11:58:15 AEST ]]> Gross and microanatomy of the male reproductive duct system of the saltwater crocodile Crocodylus porosus https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49362 Fri 12 May 2023 12:35:13 AEST ]]> Roles of male reproductive tract extracellular vesicles in reproduction https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37679 Fri 12 Mar 2021 10:57:58 AEDT ]]> EPAS1 expression contributes to maintenance of the primordial follicle pool in the mouse ovary https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55287 Fri 10 May 2024 16:22:11 AEST ]]> Polarized epithelium-sperm co-culture system reveals stimulatory factors for the secretion of mouse epididymal quiescin sulfhydryl oxidase 1 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48188 Fri 07 Jul 2023 11:41:15 AEST ]]>
