Viral infection and cancer are biologically and medically correlated and in many ways share common cellular pathways that lead to disease development or progression. Better understanding how these signaling events are specifically activated by different pathogenic stimuli and how they activate different downstream transcriptions in response to these stimuli at high specificity and efficiency will provide a new molecular basis for the development of novel disease biomarkers and therapeutic or preventive targets against both classes of diseases. Research in our laboratory has been prompted to investigate the regulation and modes of action of these pathways, with a more intensive focus on the NF-κB signaling, in the settings of severe or oncogenic viral infection as well as cancer development. It is hoped that our research will lead to eventual clinical application of biomarkers derived from these signaling pathways.展开更多

There are many similar biomarker characteristics between oil from middl-lower Jurassic of Turpan Basin and coal and carbonaceous mudstone in the same strata. They all contain specific r-lupane, I-norbietane, C24-tetracyclic and high content of C29-steranes. These characteristics suggest that they have similar matter source of the organic matter derived from matter with abundant high plants. Meanwhile, biomarkers often used to indicate depositional environments characterized by high Pr/Ph ratio, little or no gammacerane and high abundance dibenzofurans, such biomarker distributions are indicative of suboxic and freshwater environment. Although coal and carbonaceous mudstone remain in lower thermal maturity (Ro=0.47-0.53), but C29-ββ/(αα+ββ) sterane ratio (0.294-0.489) and bezohopane are detected. Because these ferture are related to bacterial activity, bacterial degrdation of organic matter maybe take an important role in coal-derived oil.展开更多
