Trial of Patient Navigation-Activation

ABSTRACT: The University of Rochester, Department of Family Medicine, funded by the National Cancer Institute will train community health workers to guide patients through the cancer care system. The project will help to teach patients how to communicate more effectively with their health care team in order to understand the treatment options available to them. Although not widely available, it is believed patient navigation programs are beneficial. This research study will evaluate how well this tool works, especially among those who experience disparities in health care. The goal is to determine if having a trained navigator shortens the time between an abnormal test result and a definitive diagnosis and between a definitive diagnosis and completion of treatment for breast and colorectal cancer patients. The project also will evaluate whether navigation improves the ability to communicate with the doctor, patient satisfaction with care and quality of life.

Transcription profiling of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from radiation-exposed workers versus control subjects

Project description:We used peripheral blood mononuclear cells to study the gene expression profiles of radiation-exposed workers versus control subjects. Human PBMC were isolated from 56 healthy donors who were working in a local Hospital (Bologna, Italy): 28 individuals were x and g radiation-exposed workers, recruited from the Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Units, while the control group consisted of 28 unexposed subjects, working at the same health care facility, matched for sex, age and smoking habits. The mean dosimeter reading, expressed as accumulated doses, during the entire time of employment (range: 1-32 years), was 19.49±37.59 mSv (mean ± SD). All procedures related to the collection of blood samples were performed with an informed consent and according to the protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board.

Palaniappan2021_Cell free modelling of second generation Toehold switches

Project description:Cervical cancer is a global public health subject as it affects women in the reproductive ages, and accounts for the second largest burden among cancer patients worldwide with an unforgiving 50% mortality rate. Poor awareness and access to effective diagnosis have led to this enormous disease burden, calling for point-of-care, minimally invasive diagnosis methods. Here, an end-to-end quantitative approach for a new kind of diagnosis has been developed, comprising identification of optimal biomarkers, design of the sensor, and simulation of the diagnostic circuit. Using miRNA expression data in the public domain, we identified circulating miRNA biomarkers specific to cervical cancer using multi-tier screening. Synthetic riboregulators called toehold switches specific for the biomarker panel were then designed. To predict the dynamic range of toehold switches for use in genetic circuits as biosensors, we developed a generic grammar of these switches, and built a multivariate linear regression model using thermodynamic features derived from RNA secondary structure and interaction. The model yielded predictions of toehold efficacy with an adjusted R2 = 0.59. Reaction kinetics modelling was performed to predict the sensitivity of the second-generation toehold switches to the miRNA biomarkers. Simulations showed a linear response between 10nM and 100nM before saturation. Our study demonstrates an end-to-end workflow for the efficient design of genetic circuits geared towards the effective detection of unique genomic signatures that would be increasingly important in today’s world. The approach has the potential to direct experimental efforts and minimise costs. All resources are provided open-source (https://github.com/igem2019) under GNU GPLv3 licence.

Increasing Uptake of Evidence-Based Screening Services Through CHW-led Multi-modality Intervention

Project description:The purpose of this research study is to determine the best way to increase screening for cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, HIV, and Hepatitis C among under screened Hispanic, Haitian and African-American individuals in Hialeah, South Dade, and Little Haiti. The investigator will compare home testing led by a community health worker (CHW) versus clinic testing guided by a CHW. Community Health Workers are people who have undergone several weeks of community outreach and health education training. During the study period the participant will continue to receive all of their regular medical care from their regular health care providers. If the participant does not have a health care provider, the Community Health Workers would be able to help in referring the participant for care at a local health care clinic located in their community.

Untargeted proteomics enables ultra-rapid variant prioritization in mitochondrial and other rare diseases

Project description:Only half of individuals with suspected rare diseases receive a definitive genetic diagnosis following genomic testing. A genetic diagnosis allows access to appropriate patient care and reduces the number of potentially unnecessary interventions and related healthcare costs. Here, we demonstrate that an untargeted quantitative mass-spectrometry approach quantifying >6,000 proteins in primary fibroblasts representing >80% of known mitochondrial disease genes can provide functional evidence for 88% of individuals in a cohort of known primary mitochondrial diseases. We profiled >90 individuals, including 28 with confirmed disease and diagnosed 6 individuals with variants in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes. Lastly, we developed an ultra-rapid proteomics pipeline using minimally invasive peripheral blood mononuclear cells to support upgrade of variant pathogenicity in as little as 54 hours in critically ill infants with suspected mitochondrial disorders. This study supports the integration of a single untargeted proteomics test into routine diagnostic practice for the diagnosis of rare genetic disorders in clinically actionable timelines, offering a paradigm shift for the functional validation of genetic variants.

The molecular basis and evolution of cooperative brood care in bumblebees

Project description:Sibling care is a hallmark of the social insects, but its evolution remains challenging to explain. The hypothesis that sibling care evolved from ancestral maternal care in the primitively eusocial insects has been elaborated to involve heterochronic changes in gene expression. This elaboration leads to the prediction that workers in these species will show patterns of gene expression more similar to foundress queens, who express maternal care behavior, than to established queens engaged solely in reproductive behavior. We tested this idea in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris using a microarray platform with ca. 4,500 genes. Unlike in the wasp Polistes metricus, in which support for the above prediction has been obtained, we found that patterns of brain gene expression in foundress and queen bumblebees were more similar to each other than to workers. However, comparisons of lists of differentially expressed genes derived from this study and gene lists from microarray studies in Polistes and the honeybee Apis mellifera suggest that there is a shared set of genes involved in the regulation of related social behaviors across independent eusocial lineages. Together, these results suggest that the multiple independent evolutions of eusociality in the insects involved a combination of shared and different mechanisms.

A combination of molecular and clinical parameters provides a new strategy for high-grade serous ovarian cancer patient management

Project description:High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the most common and deadly subtype of ovarian cancer. Although most patients will initially respond to first-line treatment with a combination of surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, up to a quarter will be resistant to treatment. We aimed to identify a new strategy to improve HGSC patient management at the time of cancer diagnosis (HGSC-1LTR). Using proteomics in ready-available HGSC tissues, we have identified a molecular signature (TKT, LAMC1 and FUCO) that combined with ready available clinical data is able to predict patient response to first-line treatment (AUC: 0.82). Identification of chemoresistance at the time of diagnosis can facilitate the study of alternative treatments aimed at improving patient outcome. In addition, those patients classified as chemosensitive could undergo standard care with platinum-based agents. Therefore, the HGSC-1LTR strategy can allow optimization of therapeutic decision making and individualize HGSC patients’ care

Virome Data Explorer: A web resource to longitudinally explore respiratory viral infections, their interactions with other pathogens and host transcriptomic changes in over 100 people

Project description:Viral respiratory infections are an important public health concern, due to their prevalence, transmissibility, and potential to cause serious disease. Disease severity is the product of several factors beyond the presence of the infectious agent, including specific host immune responses, host genetic makeup and bacterial co-infections. To understand these interactions within natural infections we designed a longitudinal cohort study actively surveilling 18 different respiratory viruses over the course of 19 months (2016-2018) in Manhattan, New York City. The cohort includes individuals related to daycare facilities, high school students and health care workers. We retrieved weekly epidemiological and clinical data and collected over 4,000 nasal swabs for molecular characterization from 214 participants. Transcriptomic data enabled the characterization of specific markers of immune response, the identification of signatures associated with symptom severity and bacterial co-infections. We created a computational resource to facilitate access to the data and visualization of analytical results.
