Protein protects against breast cancer recurrence in animal model

PHILADELPHIA - According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 40,000 women in the United States will succumb to breast cancer this year. Most of these women will die not from the primary tumor but rather tumor recurrence the reappearance of the disease following treatment.

Precisely what causes breast cancer recurrence has been poorly understood. But now a piece of the puzzle has fallen into place: Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania have identified a key molecular player in recurrent breast cancer a finding that suggests potential new therapeutic strategies.

The study, performed in the laboratory of Lewis A. Chodosh MD, PhD, chair of Cancer Biology and director of Cancer Genetics at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute, implicates the tumor suppressor protein Par-4 in recurrent breast cancer.

Par-4 is downregulated in recurrent tumors, and knocking the gene's expression down accelerates tumor recurrence in a mouse model of recurrent breast cancer. Conversely, overexpressing Par-4 delays the onset of tumor recurrence.

Data from human breast cancer patients confirm these findings. The authors analyzed patient tumors from the I-SPY 1 TRIAL, a clinical trial that measured tumor gene expression patterns and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. They found that Par-4 expression is low in "residual disease" (that portion of a tumor that survives chemotherapy) compared to the primary tumor prior to treatment, and that women with low Par-4 levels in their primary tumors tend to respond less well to treatment and are more likely to experience a relapse.

The findings appear in this week's issue of Cancer Cell.

The study was led by Chodosh senior postdoctoral fellow, James V. Alvarez, PhD. Alvarez and his colleagues teased apart the role of Par-4 using a mouse model of recurrent breast cancer. In this model, turning "on" the HER2/neu oncogene in mice -- which is turned on in about 20% of human breast cancers -- induces the formation of a primary mammary tumor. Subsequently, turning HER2/neu "off" in a tumor that has arisen causes it to essentially disappear, mimicking the treatment of primary human breast cancers with the anti-HER2/neu agent, Herceptin. But, as in many human patients, at some point in the weeks and months following tumor regression, tumors often return, both in the breast as well as in secondary sites such as the lungs.

By studying these paired primary and recurrent tumors, Alvarez, Chodosh, and their colleagues found that Par-4 expression was dialed down in recurrent tumors relative to primary tumors. When they examined gene expression data from human breast cancer specimens, they found that low Par-4 expression was associated with an increased risk of recurrence and a poorer response to neoadjuvant therapy -- chemotherapy prior to surgery. A poor response to neoadjuvant therapy is associated with an increased likelihood of recurrence.

Based on these findings, the team hypothesized that cells that downregulate Par-4 may be more adept at surviving chemotherapeutic treatment of the primary tumor, and that's precisely what they found. When they compared cells expressing normal levels of Par-4 with cells that had downregulated the gene, they found that it is the cells with low Par-4 levels that persist following treatment. Consequently, it is these cells that are available to give rise to recurrent tumors in the future.

The team then asked what Par-4 actually does to prevent breast cancer recurrence. They found in their mouse models that when HER2/neu is turned off and primary tumors shrink, Par-4 expression ramps up. This causes a defect in cell division, producing cells with more than one nucleus. This, in turn, leads to cell death. Cells that have downregulated Par-4 fail are able to escape this multinucleation process, allowing them to survive therapy and, eventually, give rise to a recurrent tumor.

The bottom line, Alvarez says, is that Par-4 downregulation is both a necessary and sufficient step for breast tumor recurrence. "Par-4 downregulation allows tumor cells to survive tumor regression caused by oncogene inhibition or chemotherapy."

That conclusion suggests that strategies that increase Par-4 expression in tumors could pay therapeutic dividends. In fact, turning Par-4 back on in recurrent tumor cells led to their rapid death. However, "drugging' Par-4 won't be easy", he says.

Par-4 is a tumor suppressor protein that functions through interactions with other proteins. Neither an enzyme nor a signaling receptor, it is not a traditionally "druggable" molecule. However, if researchers can identify the biochemical pathway that controls Par-4, or molecules that can modulate Par-4 activity directly, they may be able to increase the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy of primary tumors as well as treat recurrent breast cancers more effectively, Alvarez says. The team is now working on identifying pathways that regulate Par-4 levels.

Diagnostic Accuracy of a Rapid Checklist to Identify Delirium in Older Patients Transported by EMS.
MedLine Citation:
PMID:  23281619     Owner:  NLM     Status:  Publisher
Abstract Background. The presence of delirium in elderly patients is common and has been identified as an independent marker for increased mortality and hospital-acquired complications, yet it is poorly recognized by health care providers. Early recognition of delirium in the prehospital setting has the potential to improve outcomes, but is not feasible without valid assessment tools. Objective. To determine whether use of a rapid delirium checklist by prehospital providers is a valid way to identify cases of delirium compared with a criterion standard and whether the checklist is better at identifying delirium than the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS). Methods. We conducted a prospective study at two academic, tertiary-care emergency departments (EDs) where a convenience sample of matched dyads of emergency medical services providers and elderly patients (age ≥65 years) were enrolled. Prehospital providers reported limited demographics and work history about themselves. They also reported vital signs and GCS for each patient and completed the checklist asking about presence of the four features of delirium. The patient then underwent a cognitive assessment using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) by a trained investigator, which was used as the criterion standard. Criterion validity and concurrent validity of the delirium checklist and abnormal GCS were evaluated using sensitivity and specificity. Results. Two hundred fifty-nine matched dyads were studied. Delirium occurred in 24 (9%) of the elderly patients sampled. Prehospital providers' recognition of any delirium symptom resulted in a sensitivity of 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.43-0.79) and a specificity of 0.74 (95% CI 0.73-0.84). Prehospital report of a GCS <15 has a sensitivity of 0.67 (95% CI 0.47-0.82) and a specificity of 0.85 (95% CI 0.80-0.89). Conclusions. A rapid delirium checklist can identify 63% of patients with delirium, but performed no better than the GCS. Future research should determine whether a rapid test of cognition improves early identification of elderly patients with delirium. Key words: elderly; delirium; checklist; emergency medical services.

Initial results of inflammatory response, matrix remodeling, and reactive oxygen species following PCI in acute ischemic myocardial injury in man.
MedLine Citation:
PMID:  21891809     Owner:  NLM     Status:  MEDLINE
BACKGROUND: Neutrophils and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are suggested to be involved in irreversible myocardial reperfusion injury and stunning. We investigated the relations between circulating biochemical markers and myocardium at risk (MaR), myocardial infarct (MI) size, salvage, and recovery of function in man.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In patients undergoing PCI serial blood samples were acquired for markers of inflammatory response (myeloperoxidase [MPO], neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL], interleukins 6 and 8 [IL-6/8], tumor necrosis factor-a [TNF-a], high-sensitive C-reactive protein [hsCRP]), matrix remodeling (matrixmetalloproteinase-9 [MMP-9]) and ROS (malondialdehyde [MDA], isoprostane [IsoP]). Samples were obtained before PCI and 1.5, 3, and 24 hours after reperfusion. Myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) was used to assess MaR. Late gadolinum-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed for regional function in the acute setting, at 1 week and 6 months, and at 1 week also for MI size. Sixteen patients (15 men; 42-78 years) were enrolled, 12 of whom underwent MPS. Peak and cumulative NGAL and cumulative MMP-9 showed inverse correlations to MaR. No correlation was found for MI size. Peak MPO correlated inversely to salvage and to recovery of regional function in the infarcted segments at 1 week and 6 months.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study in man to show inverse relations between circulating NGAL and MMP-9 and MaR. The current results do not support that ROS has a role in stunning in man. MI size showed no significant correlation to any parameter, challenging inflammatory treatment in reperfusion.

Limited oxygen availability in utero may constrain the evolution of live birth in reptiles.
MedLine Citation:
PMID:  23348778     Owner:  NLM     Status:  In-Data-Review
Abstract Although viviparity (live birth) has evolved from oviparity (egg laying) at least 140 times in vertebrates, nearly 120 of these independent events occurred within a single reptile taxon. Surprisingly, only squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are capable of facilitating embryonic development to increasingly advanced stages inside the mother during extended periods of oviducal egg retention. Viviparity has never evolved in turtle lineages, presumably because embryos enter and remain in an arrested state until after eggs are laid, regardless of the duration of egg retention. Until now, the limiting factor that initiates and maintains developmental arrest has remained elusive. Here, we show that oviducal hypoxia arrests embryonic development. We demonstrate that hypoxia can maintain developmental arrest after oviposition and that subsequent exposure of arrested embryos to normoxia triggers resumption of their development. We discovered remarkably low oxygen partial pressure in the oviducts of gravid turtles and found that secretions produced by the oviduct retard oxygen diffusion. Our results suggest that an extremely hypoxic environment in the oviduct arrests embryonic development and may constrain the evolution of viviparity in turtles, with the reduced diffusive capacity of oviducal secretions possibly creating or contributing to this hypoxia. We anticipate that these findings will allow us to better understand the mechanisms underlying the evolutionary transition between reproductive modes.

Nuclear receptors in the cross-talk of drug metabolism and inflammation.
MedLine Citation:
PMID:  23330545     Owner:  NLM     Status:  In-Data-Review
Inflammation and infection have long been known to affect the activity and expression of enzymes involved in hepatic and extrahepatic drug clearance. Significant advances have been made to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex cross-talk between inflammation and drug-metabolism alterations. The emergent role of ligand-activated transcriptional regulators, belonging to the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily, is now well established. The NRs, pregnane X receptor, constitutive androstane receptor, retinoic X receptor, glucocorticoid receptor, and hepatocyte nuclear factor 4, and the basic helix-loop-helix/Per-ARNT-Sim family member, aryl hydrocarbon receptor, are the main regulators of the detoxification function. According to the panel of mediators secreted during inflammation, a cascade of numerous signaling pathways is activated, including nuclear factor kappa B, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription pathways. Complex cross-talk is established between these signaling pathways regulating either constitutive or induced gene expression. In most cases, a mutual antagonism between xenosensor and inflammation signaling occurs. This review focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms implicated in this cross-talk.

Sim1a and Arnt2 contribute to hypothalamo-spinal axon guidance by regulating Robo2 activity via a Robo3-dependent mechanism.
MedLine Citation:
PMID:  23222439     Owner:  NLM     Status:  In-Data-Review
Precise spatiotemporal control of axon guidance factor expression is a prerequisite for formation of functional neuronal connections. Although Netrin/Dcc- and Robo/Slit-mediated attractive and repulsive guidance of commissural axons have been extensively studied, little is known about mechanisms controlling mediolateral positioning of longitudinal axons in vertebrates. Here, we use a genetic approach in zebrafish embryos to study pathfinding mechanisms of dopaminergic and neuroendocrine longitudinal axons projecting from the hypothalamus into hindbrain and spinal cord. The transcription factors Sim1a and Arnt2 contribute to differentiation of a defined population of dopaminergic and neuroendocrine neurons. We show that both factors also control aspects of axon guidance: Sim1a or Arnt2 depletion results in displacement of hypothalamo-spinal longitudinal axons towards the midline. This phenotype is suppressed in robo3 guidance receptor mutant embryos. In the absence of Sim1a and Arnt2, expression of the robo3 splice isoform robo3a.1 is increased in the hypothalamus, indicating negative control of robo3a.1 transcription by these factors. We further provide evidence that increased Robo3a.1 levels interfere with Robo2-mediated repulsive axon guidance. Finally, we show that the N-terminal domain unique to Robo3a.1 mediates the block of Robo2 repulsive activity. Therefore, Sim1a and Arnt2 contribute to control of lateral positioning of longitudinal hypothalamic-spinal axons by negative regulation of robo3a.1 expression, which in turn attenuates the repulsive activity of Robo2.

Western University of Health Sciences Capital Campaign Surpasses $35-Million Goal

8/19/2010 9:12:48 AM

POMONA, CA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2010) -

Western University of Health Sciences has surpassed its Capital Campaign goal of $35 million, but the work is far from over.

"We are very grateful for the support we have received for the Capital Campaign and, by extension, for our goal of building one of the most comprehensive academic health science centers in the nation," said WesternU President Philip Pumerantz, PhD. "We also know that we must continue to build partnerships and raise awareness of our innovative programs, world-class facilities and skilled faculty and students."

The Capital Campaign had a six-year goal of raising $35 million by WesternU's 35th anniversary in 2012, which was reached with two years to spare. The campaign has raised $36.5 million from about 1,600 donors as of July 2010. About $27 million has already been received, with the balance pledges to be paid before June 2012.

"This is real money that is in," said Thomas Fox, PhD, Senior Vice President for Advancement. "Now we'll see how far we can go."

The Capital Campaign Case Statement set fundraising goals for specific categories, including $12.5 million for infrastructure, $8.75 million for student support and $7 million for faculty support. In the next two years, University Advancement will continue to raise money and ensure fundraising goals for each category are met, Fox said.

"Student scholarships are important. As we continue to emerge as a research organization, faculty support will be important," he said. "With the Patient Care Center, health care strategy is another one we will look for as well."

The Capital Campaign has reached out to new donors large and small. The $100 million campus expansion has helped raise interest in the Capital Campaign and provides many naming opportunities. The start of four new colleges in the past year allowed WesternU to tap into new prospects, Fox said.

"It is important to add donors," he said. "We're adding people who have never given to the university before. The message is getting out there."

The days following Thanksgiving are always a blur. Days off that are different from the norm. Big meals (hopefully it's not presumptuous to assume that many of us do multiples) on days other than Sunday. Friends coming and going at all hours. We often forget what day it even is! Realistically, it's safe to say that it will remain this way right on through until X-mas. Here's a rundown of how we spent the beginning of the  Holiday season.

J: 1-4 Every year I am sent into the great beyond (creepy crawlspace/attic above the garage) with strict orders to not return without ALL of the boxes of X-mas decor. Especially the Creepy Santas.
L:  As previously mentioned, I love Christmas decorations.  Somehow I managed to convince John to drag down the boxes after consuming a large meal which consisted of, but was not limited to, almost a dozen of my mom's deviled eggs. Perhaps it was his guilt from this overindulgence which led him to be so easy about the whole thing.  Whatever the reason, I was beyond thrilled to get my Santas out.

J:5 We like to try to make up for all of our many gluttonous indiscretions by making small healthy meals like this. Wheatberry, Kale, Tomato and White beans.
L:  John made this special for me.  It was delicious!

J:6 We had Nicole, Gray and Nick over for a very spirited (spirit meaning both slightly competitive and consumption of spirits) game of Apples to Apples. This is a picture of my less than desirable hand.

L:  It was a fun little impromptu project.

J:10 For dinner Saturday night Finn requested "Soup like from Saigon wif dose widdle dumpwins". Of course, we were happy to oblige him. Lindsay's dough for the dumplings was spot on!

A BABY girl suffered slight burns when melted plastic dripped onto her leg in a fire early today.

The accident happened at about 4am in Wesson Road, Darlaston. The one-year-old child's father also suffered a burn to his foot as he stamped the flames out.

A West Midlands Fire Service spokesman said: "It appears the child and her father were in the living room when a pillow made contact with the gas fire and caught fire.

"The subsequent blaze caused some plastic to melt, a quantity of which landed on the little girl's leg."

He said firefighters gave the child and the man, who is 33, first-aid and they were taken to hospital for further treatment.

Blue Sage raising $100M to invest in Texas companies

Austin-based Blue Sage Capital LP is raising capital for its second fund.

Blue Sage Capital II plans to raise $100 million and invest mostly in growth, expansion and buyout financings of middle-market companies based in Texas and the Southwest. The fund is expected to close within 12 months, officials said Wednesday.

The firm’s investments will target profitable companies generating revenue of $10 million to $100 million. Blue Sage Capital II expects to invest in about 12 companies in a variety of industries, officials said.

Peter Huff and Jim McBride, co-founding partners, will lead the firm as it raises and invests Blue Sage Capital II.

It’s first fund raised $170 million. Portfolio companies include Ashbrook Simon-Hartley Ltd., C&M Conveyor Inc., Environmental Design Inc., Fusion, Hoak Media Corp., MultiCam Inc., Omniflight Inc., Parker School Uniforms Inc., Primus Sterilizer Co. Inc. and VIA.

Upscale dining comes to South Waterfront's Strand

European-infused restaurant sits on Willamette's bank
Industries & Tags
Retailing & Restaurants

The long-time owners and operators of the Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant chain will cement their grip on the upper tier of the market Monday when they open Lucier, a European-infused restaurant at Portland's RiverPlace.

Restaurateurs Tyanne and Chris Dussin are teaming with chef Pascal Chureau to open the restaurant, which will seat 100 in the dining room, with outdoor seating on the Willamette River for another 45.

The restaurant occupies a riverside building constructed by Onder Development as part of the three-building Strand complex of condominiums and is one of the most high-profile restaurant locations developed in recent years.

Dussin and his wife operate The Dussin Group, best known as the Portland-based company that runs the Old Spaghetti Factory chain of 37 family-style restaurants. Earlier this spring, the couple rolled out a new brand, Blue Sage Cafe, a casual family-oriented format with locations in strip malls in West Linn and Lake Oswego.

To Dussin, adding middle- and top-tier restaurants to the company portfolio satisfies a long-held desire to grow beyond its spaghetti roots.

His family has operated the Old Spaghetti Factory chain for 40 years. His parents and grandparents were in the Portland restaurant industry for decades before that and his mother remains a leading figure at the company's headquarters above the South Waterfront Old Spaghetti Factory.

The Dussins also own an upscale restaurant in San Diego, Dussini, and bought out Chureau's partners at the Pearl District's Fenouil in 2007

It's no secret a softening economy is taking a toll on the restaurant industry, but Dussin said he's not concerned about introducing Lucier when consumers are nervous about their financial health.

"Market cycles go up and down," he said. "I think if you do anything right and you do it all the way, people will come."

That's true, agrees Chad Mackay, president and chief operating officer of Mackay Restaurants. The Seattle-based company owns the El Gaucho chain of steak houses, including one in Portland at the Benson Hotel.

Obama wishes you a prosperous New Year — now pony up

Obama-money1The Obama administration wishes every American family a prosperous New Year. We’ll need a little extra prosperity to pay for all the new taxes the government has in store for us.

Americans for Tax Reform, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group headed by Grover Norquist, confirms that of the 20 new or increased taxes used to pay for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — Obamacare — five kicked in today. They are:

Medical Device Tax: This one received publicity lately when 17 Democratic senators called for the tax to be postponed after they realized the detrimental effect it would have on their constituents. Their chief complaint was that the measure imposes a 2.3 percent tax on gross — not net — sales of medical devices, meaning even companies that make little or no profit in a given year will be hit.

Also, according to a new IRS ruling, the tax may apply to some devices used for pets.

Flex Account Tax Cap: Until 2013, all unlimited funds employees set aside in flexible spending accounts for future medical expenses were not subject to payroll taxes. Obamacare now places a $2,500 cap on these accounts. According to the Americans for Tax Reform website:

There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children.  There are several million families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education. This Obamacare tax provision will limit the options available to these families.

Surtax on Investment Income: This amounts to a 3.8 percent surcharge on capital gains and investment income for single taxpayers earning over $200,000 and married couples earning over $250,000. This sounds modest until you realize that taxes on capital gains are scheduled to increase from 15 to 20 percent, and dividends will now be taxed as ordinary income rather than as capital gains. With the addition of the surcharge, capital gains will be taxed at 23.8 percent (from 15), and the maximum rate on dividends will now be 43.4 percent (also from 15).

When taken together, we can expect investments to begin drying up. Fewer people will be willing to take the risk that all investments entail when the government takes such a large chunk of any reward that may come at the end.

“Haircut” for Medical Itemized Deductions: Medical expenses exceeding 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income used to be deducted. With the start of the new year, only those expenses exceeding 10 percent of adjusted gross income can be deducted.

“By limiting this deduction, Obamacare widens the net of taxable income for the sickest Americans,” the Americans for Tax Reform website says. “This tax provision will most harm near retirees and those with modest incomes but high medical bills.”

Medicare Payroll Tax Hike: Upper-income taxpayers will now pay 3.8 percent for the Medicare payroll tax instead of the standard 2.9 percent.

Have a happy New Year.

‘He doesn’t care!’ Krauthammer blasts Obama’s ridiculous excuse for skipping Scalia’s funeral

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed Thursday it would be better overall if the vice president were to attend Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral in lieu of President Obama.

Why not both?

“As I also noted yesterday, Vice President Biden, who is somebody that had his own personal relationship with Justice Scalia and his family, will be representing the administration at the funeral,” Earnest said in reply to a reporter’s question.

“Obviously, when the vice president travels someplace his security footprint is at least a little bit lighter.”

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer was appalled by the White House’s disingenuous excuse.

“That is such obvious nonsense, that it shows they aren’t even trying,” he said on Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File” Thursday. Krauthammer continued to blast the “lame duck” president who he said, acts like a king. “He doesn’t care,” he said.

He added that it was pretty clear that Obama had no interest in “listening to speeches about how great a jurist Scalia was” given that Obama didn’t think he was.

“So he’s going to stay home, and he doesn’t care how it looks and what other people think,” Krauthammer told Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

“If there is a political reason,” he added, it was because he knew he’d be nominating someone who would be Scalia’s exact ideological opposite.

Kelly said the president had a duty to set aside partisan politics and attend, a sentiment shared by people on both sides of the aisle.

Steven Rattner, Obama’s former “car czar,” tweeted:
