Abstract 5520: CCN5/WISP-2 is a negative regulator of epithelial to mesenchymal transition and stemness in breast cancer
No full textAbstract
Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and a leading cause of cancer mortality in western countries. CCN5 (also known as Wnt-1-induced signaling protein-2 or WISP-2) is a 29-31-kDa matricellular protein that plays as a negative regulator of breast carcinoma. Our previous studies had shown the importance of CCN5/ WISP-2 in the suppression of breast and pancreatic cancer progression through the regulation of the invasive phenotypes. Considering the previous report, our aim is to investigate whether human recombinant CCN5 inhibit pathobiological events like epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and stemness in triple negative breast cancer cells.
Methods: To investigate the negative impact of CCN5 on EMT and stemness of TNBC, we performed several techniques like western blot, clonoogenic assay, soft agar assay, sphere formation assay etc.
Results and Conclusions: The exposure of triple negative human breast cancer cells (TNBC), MDA-MB-231 and HCC-70, to recombinant CCN5 (hrCCN5), resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of cell-proliferation through the induction of apoptotic cell death. The treatment of hrCCN5 regulates various pathobiological events in breast cancer cells, such as reprogramming the mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET) followed by reduction of stemness features as confirmed by sphere formation assay and delaying in vitro migration. Finally, treatment with hrCCN5 in TNBC cells significantly inhibited anchorage-dependent and independent growth of TNBC. Collectively, CCN5’s control of cancer cell physiology indicates that hrCCN5 has the potential of being used as a major therapeutic agent against triple negative breast cancer.

Author Exchange
No full textAnthropologist Mukulika Banerjee and political scientist Sushmita Pati have a conversation about their recently published books set in rural Bengal and Delhi’s urban villages, respectively. They situate their analyses of the intersections between democracy, capitalism, urbanization, and globalization in events, relations, and cultures of the everyday. Their exchange offers important insights for how political subjectivities and social ties are differently constituted or, to use Banerjee’s term, “cultivated” in these two settings. The two books offer a fine-grained view of how active citizenship in rural and urban India is refracted through distinct social and institutional structures. India is home to some of the world’s largest cities while more than 900 million people continue to live in the countryside. Its democratic future is therefore inextricably tied to the evolution of political behavior and political economy in both contexts, and, as Banerjee and Pati’s joint response indicates, to how urban and rural dynamics shape each other through (but not only through) migrants and their networks.

FEMININE VISIBILITY IN A MYTHOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF CHITRA BANERJEE DIVAKARUNI’S THE PALACE OF ILLUSIONS
No full textChitra Banerjee Divakaruni an Indo-American author, works as a professor of English in the University of Houston. She is also a co-founder and former president of a helpline for South Asian women. She involves herself eagerly as a volunteer at women’s center at Berkeley and assists battered women through the organization. MAITRI, the organization was begun in 1991 by her with the help of a group of friends. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni an expatriate writer, pictures Indian womanhood how they are treated by men in their lives. An explicit attempt to retell the epic in novel form is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions which will be analyzed in the following. The present paper analyzes how women is treated by male as a lifeless thing in the novel. This study is an attempt to illustrate how revisionist mythmaking is a feminist endeavor to revalue the experiences of women in patriarchy and redefine women from feminist perspectives.

Nobel Laureate Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee: A Scientometric Portrait, 1987-2019
No full textNobel Memorial Prize in economics is selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and first awarded in the domain in 1969; the latest in 2019 was awarded to the Indian-born American economist Prof. Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee along with Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer. The present study attempted to measure and analyse the research publications of Prof. Banerjee during 1987 to 2019 based on the data available in Google Scholar database. A total of 333 documents published during this period in which 35.74 percent were published as journal articles. Till 2004 the mean relative growth rate of his publications was 0.237 and doubling time was 3.29 whereas from 2005 to 2019 the relative growth rate decreased to 0.077 and the time for doubling increased to 10.20. Esther Duflo was the most prolific co-author of the publications of Prof. Banerjee with 120 documents shared out of 333 by them. The collaboration rate of all publications was 0.89 identifies most of his publications written in collaboration. The journal he used for most of his research to publish was mainly USA based. He has produced numbers of publications which received huge citations, and during May, 2020 the h-index counted 87 according to Goggle Scholar citation counts
Author Retrospective for Semantical Interprocedural Parallelization: An Overview of the PIPS Project
No full textInternational audienceThe PIPS project was started in 1988 to investigate the automatic detection of medium- and large-grain parallelism in scienti c programs thanks to summarization techniques based on convex array regions. By 1992 the PIPS system had reached its original goals, but it has morphed into a comprehensive, open-source platform still in use today. What were the key scienti c and engineering decisions that made this possible in spite of some inevitable shortcomings
