Advances in Redox Research, 7, Article 100057. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arres.2022.100057

Ionising radiation (IR) is a cause of lipid peroxidation, and epidemiological data have revealed a correlation between exposure to IR and the development of eye lens cataracts. Cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness around the world. The pla...

Insights into the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms mediating the longevity of the transparent optics of the eye lens (2022)
Journal Article
Quinlan, R. A., & Clark, J. I. (2022). Insights into the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms mediating the longevity of the transparent optics of the eye lens. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 298(11), Article 102537. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102537

In the human eye, a transparent cornea and lens combine to form the “refracton” to focus images on the retina. This requires the refracton to have a high refractive index “n,” mediated largely by extracellular collagen fibrils in the corneal stroma a...

A recurrent variant in LIM2 causes an isolated congenital sutural/lamellar cataract in a Japanese family (2022)
Journal Article
Berry, V., Fujinami, K., Mochizuki, K., Iwata, T., Pontikos, N., Quinlan, R. A., & Michaelides, M. (2022). A recurrent variant in LIM2 causes an isolated congenital sutural/lamellar cataract in a Japanese family. Ophthalmic Genetics, 43(5), 622-626. https://doi.org/10.1080/13816810.2022.2090010

Background Genetically determined cataract is both clinically and molecularly highly heterogeneous. Here, we have identified a heterozygous variant in the lens integral membrane protein LIM2, the second most abundant protein in the lens, responsible...

Cluster analyses of the TCGA and a TMA dataset using the coexpression of HSP27 and CRYAB improves alignment with clinical-pathological parameters of breast cancer and suggests different epichaperome influences for each sHSP (2022)
Journal Article
Quinlan, P. R., Figeuredo, G., Mongan, N., Jordan, L. B., Bray, S. E., Sreseli, R., Ashfield, A., Mitsch, J., van den Ijssel, P., Thompson, A. M., & Quinlan, R. A. (2022). Cluster analyses of the TCGA and a TMA dataset using the coexpression of HSP27 and CRYAB improves alignment with clinical-pathological parameters of breast cancer and suggests different epichaperome influences for each sHSP. Cell Stress and Chaperones, 27(2), 177-188. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12192-022-01258-0

Our cluster analysis of the Cancer Genome Atlas for co-expression of HSP27 and CRYAB in breast cancer patients identified three patient groups based on their expression level combination (high HSP27+low CRYAB; low HSP27+high CRYAB; similar HSP27+CRYA...
