    Kinetic analysis, size profiling, and bioenergetic association of DNA released by selected cell lines in vitro 

    Aucamp, Janine; Bronkhorst, Abel J.; Peters, Dimetrie L.; Van Dyk, Hayley C.; Van der Westhuizen, Francois H.; Pretorius, Piet J. (Springer, 2017)
    Although circulating DNA (cirDNA) analysis shows great promise as a screening tool for a wide range of pathologies, numerous stumbling blocks hinder the rapid translation of research to clinical practice. This is related ...

    Valproic acid alters the content and function of the cell-free DNA released by hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells in vitro 

    Aucamp, Janine; Van Dyk, Hayley C.; Bronkhorst, Abel J.; Pretorius, Piet J. (Elsevier, 2017)
    Background It has long been believed that cell-free DNA (cfDNA) actively released into circulation can serve as intercellular messengers, and their involvement in processes such as the bystander effect strongly support ...

    A historical and evolutionary perspective on circulating nucleic acids and extracellular vesicles: circulating nucleic acids as homeostatic genetic entities 

    Aucamp, Janine; Bronkhorst, Abel Jacobus; Pretorius, Piet J. (Springer, 2016)
    The quantitative and qualitative differences of circulating nucleic acids (cirNAs) between healthy and diseased individuals have motivated researchers to utilize these differences in the diagnosis and prognosis of various ...

    A quantitative assessment of cell-free DNA utilizing several housekeeping genes: measurements from four different cell lines 

    Aucamp, Janine; Bronkhorst, Abel Jacobus; Wentzel, Johannes F.; Pretorius, Piet J. (Springer, 2016)
    Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is regularly used to quantify cell-free nucleic acids (cfNAs) in order to identify biomarkers for various pathologies. However, studies have shown notable housekeeping gene expression ...

    Methodological variables in the analysis of cell-free DNA 

    Bronkhorst, Abel Jacobus; Aucamp, Janine; Pretorius, Piet J. (Springer, 2016)
    In recent years, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis has received increasing amounts of attention as a potential non-invasive screening tool for the early detection of genetic aberrations and a wide variety of diseases, especially ...

    Cell-free DNA: preanalytical variables 

    Bronkhorst, Abel Jacobus; Aucamp, Janine; Pretorius, Piet J. (Elsevier, 2015)
    Since the discovery of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in human blood, most studies have focused on diagnostic and prognostic uses of these markers for solid tumors. Except for some prenatal tests and BEAMing, cfDNA analysis has not ...

    Cell-free DNA in a three-dimensional spheroid cell culture model: a preliminary study 

    Aucamp, Janine; Calitz, Carlemi; Bronkhorst, Abel J.; Hamman, Sias; Gouws, Chrisna; Pretorius, Piet J. (Elsevier, 2017)
    Background Investigating the biological functions of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is limited by the interference of vast numbers of putative sources and causes of DNA release into circulation. Utilization of three-dimensional ...

    Synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of disubstituted benzyltriazoles 

    Smit, Frans J.; Aucamp, Janine; N'Da, David D.; Seldon, Ronnett; Jordaan, Audrey (Springer, 2019)
    The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the pathogen of human tuberculosis (TB), serves as a strong incentive for the discovery and development of new agents for the ...

    Synthesis and evaluation of methoxy substituted 2-benzoyl-1-benzofuran derivatives as lead compounds for the development adenosine A1 and/or A2A receptor antagonists 

    Janse van Rensburg, Helena D.; Legoabe, Lesetja J.; Terre'Blanche, Gisella; Aucamp, Janine (Elsevier, 2020)
    A series of fourteen methoxy substituted 2-benzoyl-1-benzofuran derivatives were synthesised and their affinities determined for adenosine A1 and A2A receptors via radioligand binding assays to establish the structure ...

    Adjustments to the preanalytical phase of quantitative cell-free DNA analysis 

    Bronkhorst, Abel Jacobus; Aucamp, Janine; Pretorius, Piet J. (Elsevier, 2016)
    Evaluating the kinetics of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood of cancer patients could be a strong auxiliary component to the molecular characterization of cfDNA, but its potential clinical significance is obscured by the ...
