Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention Trial

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest among cancers and disproportionately affects African Americans. The Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention Trial(CCSIT) project has as its goal to test three interventions designed to increase screening rates among medically underserved African Americans in the Metropolitan Atlanta area. It is designed to increase awareness of modifiable risk factors and promote the benefits of screening as a means of early detection of colorectal cancer. mportance of being screened for colorectal cancer,African Americans continue to be disproportionately affected by this disease.

Genomic and cellular responses to aspirin treatment in colonic organoids from African- and European-Americans

Project description:Aspirin (ASA) is a proven chemoprotective agent for sporadic and hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC), though mechanisms underlying these effects are incompletely understood. Human-derived epithelial organoids are an ideal system to study host-environment interactions in the colon across individuals. Here, colonic organoids from a diverse cohort of African-Americans (AA) and European-Americans (EA) were used to profile genomic and cellular ASAresponses.

Ethnicity-specific epigenetic variation in naïve CD4+ T cells and the susceptibility to autoimmunity

Project description:Background: Genetic and epigenetic variability contributes to the susceptibility and pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. T cells play an important role in several autoimmune conditions, including lupus, which is more common and more severe in people of African descent. To investigate inherent epigenetic differences in T cells between ethnicities, we characterized genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in naïve CD4+ T cells in healthy African-Americans and European-Americans, and then confirmed our findings in lupus patients. Results: Impressive ethnicity-specific clustering of DNA methylation profiling in naïve CD4+ T cells was revealed. Hypomethylated loci in healthy African-Americans were significantly enriched in pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory genes. We also found hypomethylated genes in African-Americans to be disproportionately related to autoimmune diseases including lupus. We then confirmed that these genes, such as IL32, CD226, CDKN1A, and PTPRN2 were simi‑ larly hypomethylated in lupus patients of African-American compared to European-American descent. Using patch DNA methylation and luciferase reporter constructs, we showed that methylation of the IL32 promoter region reduces gene expression in vitro. Importantly, bisulfite DNA sequencing demonstrated that cis-acting genetic variants within and directly disrupting CpG sites account for some ethnicity-specific variability in DNA methylation.

African Ancestry Associated Gene Expression Profiles in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Underlie Altered Tumor Biology and Clinical Outcome in Women of African Descent

Project description:Women of sub-Saharan African descent have disproportionately higher incidence of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), and TNBC-specific mortality. Population comparative studies show racial differences in TNBC biology, including higher prevalence of basal-like and Quadruple-Negative subtypes in African Americans (AA). However, previous investigations relied on self-reported race (SRR) of primarily United States (US) populations. Due to heterogenous genetic admixture, and biological consequences of social determinants, the true association of African ancestry with TNBC biology is unclear. To address this, we conducted RNAseq on an international cohort of AAs, west and east Africans with TNBC. Using comprehensive genetic ancestry estimation in this African-enriched cohort, we found expression of 613 genes associated with African ancestry and 2000+ associated with regional African ancestry. A subset of African-associated genes also showed differences in normal breast tissue. Pathway enrichment and deconvolution of tumor cellular composition revealed tumor-associated immunological profiles are distinct in patients of African descent.

Genomic profiling of prostate cancer in African-American patients

Project description:African-Americans with prostate cancer tend to have a more aggressive form of the disease, as compared to their Caucasian counterparts. Nevertheless, African-Americans tend to be underrepresented in most molecular profiling studies of prostate cancer. To investigate DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) in prostate cancer from a cohort of African-Americans, we profiled 20 tumors (each with paired normal) for 500,000 SNPs. Keywords: tumor-normal comparison Profiles were generated on two Affymetrix array chips: Nsp and Sty, each with ~250K SNPs represented. In all, 20 tumors and 20 paired normal samples were profiled, 40 profiles in all. Each tumor was centered on its corresponding normal pair to define copy number alterations (CNA) in that tumor.

Race-specific patterns of epigenetic aging and age-associated differential methylation in normal rectal biopsies: Implications for the biology of aging and its relationship to rectal cancer

Project description:Approximately 90% of colorectal cancer (CRC) develop over the age of 50, highlighting the im-portant role of aging in CRC risk. African Americans (AAs) shoulder a greater CRC burden than European Americans (EA), and are more likely to develop CRC at a younger age. The effects of aging in AA and EA normal rectal tissue have yet to be defined. Here, we performed epige-nome-wide DNA methylation analysis in the first, large-scale biracial cohort of normal rectum (n=140 samples)

Cardiac DNA Methylation Underlies Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities among Patients with End-Stage Heart Failure (MethylationEPIC array)

Project description:African Americans (AA) are 70% more likely than Caucasian Americans (CA) to die from heart failure (HF) even after adjusting for known causes. Although the causal factors responsible for this racial disparity remain unknown, it is theorized that environmental stressors This alarming health disparity represents an important challenge to U.S. healthcare as global prevalence of heart failure has already exceeded epidemic levels with a disease burden that disproportionately impacts members of ethnic and racial minorities. The current multicohort study of cardiac DNA methylation identifies the cardiac epigenome as a previously unrecognized syntax that encodes race-based environmental differences in the failing human heart.
