    Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State UniversityThe Zeeman splittings of the nuclear quadrupole resonance transition at 16.303 MHz in a single crystal of barium chloride dihydrate, BaCl22H2OBaCl_{2}\cdot2H_{2} O has been studied and the zero-splitting loci for both physically non-equivalent lattice sites have been determined. From the study it was found that the nuclear quadrupole coupling constant is e2Qqxxe^{2}Qq_{xx} = 29.8 MHz and that the asymmetry parameter is η=0.77\eta = 0.77. The direction of the electric field gradient (EFG) principal axis system relative to the crystal axis system was found. The magnitudes and directions of the EFG tensor components were calculated by using a point charge-point dipole model and isotropic polarizabilities. By using a projected Sternheimer factor of -80 this leads to a calculated coupling constant of 60 MHz and an asymmetry parameter of 0.AA1. Both the experimental and calculated values of the parameters are in agreement with the crystal symmetry. In view of the simplifications inherent in the model used this represents reasonable agreement

    Replication stress and defective checkpoints make fallopian tube epithelial cells putative drivers of high-grade serous ovarian cancer

    No full text
    Summary: Clinical and molecular evidence indicates that high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) primarily originates from the fallopian tube, not the ovarian surface. However, the reasons for this preference remain unclear. Our study highlights significant differences between fallopian tube epithelial (FTE) and ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells, providing the molecular basis for FTEs as site of origin of HGSOC. FTEs, unlike OSEs, exhibit heightened replication stress (RS), impaired repair of stalled forks, ineffective G2/M checkpoint, and increased tumorigenicity. BRCA1 heterozygosity exacerbates these defects, resulting in RS suppression haploinsufficiency and an aggressive tumor phenotype. Examination of human and mouse sections reveals buildup of the RS marker 53BP1 primarily in the fallopian tubes, particularly at the fimbrial ends. Furthermore, menopausal status influences RS levels. Our study provides a mechanistic rationale for FTE as the site of origin for HGSOC, investigates the impact of BRCA1 heterozygosity, and lays the groundwork for targeting early HGSOC drivers
