Integration of Cancer Health Activities Into African American Churches

ABSTRACT: The proposed project will compare two ways to apply a known-effective cancer educational strategy through African American churches: 1) a standard method vs. 2) a new method in which the churches integrate the strategy into their organizational structure and practice at multiple levels. It will be determined whether this "integrated approach" results in more effective and sustained cancer education and screening activities at both the church and individual levels over time. This project will make important contributions to research in evidence-based medicine and sustainability. In a climate of limited resources, identifying sustainable and effective ways to increase cancer awareness and screening in African American men and women is more important than ever.

Activation of the Interferon Pathway is Dependent upon Autoantibodies in African-American SLE Patients, but not in European-American SLE Patients

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous disease which leads to different levels of serum autoantibodies to RNA-binding proteins (anti-RBP) and interferon-α (IFN-α), which plays an important pathogenic role in SLE, between European-American (EA) and African-American (AA) patients. We aimed to explore how IFN-related gene expression pathways differ in patients according to their ancestry and anti-RBP profile

Tumor Immunobiological Differences in Prostate Cancer between African-American and European-American Men

Project description:The incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer are significantly higher in African-American men when compared to European-American men. We tested the hypothesis that differences in tumor biology contribute to this survival health disparity. Using microarray technology, we obtained gene expression profiles of primary prostate tumors resected from 33 African-American and 36 European-American patients. These tumors were matched on clinical parameters. We also evaluated 18 non-tumor prostate tissues from 7 African-American and 11 European-American patients. The resulting datasets were analyzed for expression differences on the gene and pathway level comparing African-American with European-American patients. Our analysis revealed a significant number of genes, e.g., 162 transcripts at a false-discovery rate less than 5%, to be differently expressed between African-American and European-American patients. Using a disease association analysis, we identified a common relationship of these transcripts with autoimmunity and inflammation. These findings were corroborated on the pathway level with numerous differently expressed genes clustering in immune response, stress response, cytokine signaling, and chemotaxis pathways. Furthermore, a two-gene tumor signature was identified that accurately differentiated between African-American and European-American patients. This finding was confirmed in a blinded analysis of a second sample set. In conclusion, the gene expression profiles of prostate tumors indicate prominent differences in tumor immunobiology between African-American and European-American men. The profiles portray the existence of a distinct tumor microenvironment in these two patient groups. Keywords: Microdissected tissue analysis

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Suppresses Prognostic Survival Biomarkers Associated with Cell Cycle and Actin Organization in a Non-Malignant African American Prostate Cell Line

Project description:Vitamin D3 is a steroid hormone that has been shown to prevent tumor growth in prostate cells. Not having enough vitamin D3 in the blood has been linked to advanced prostate cancer and mortality, especially in African American men. We wanted to understand how vitamin D affected pathways that keep prostate cells from becoming cancerous, which could lead to new therapeutic targets and treatments, especially for African American men who tend to be more prone to being vitamin D deficient compared to European men. Here, we studied a non-cancerous African American prostate cell line treated with the active form of vitamin D with a concentration similar to what is found in the body for 24 h. Using RNA whole-transcriptome sequencing, we compared these treated cells with untreated cells to assess genes and pathways significantly changed due to treatment. We found that vitamin D affected the activity of 1600 genes, mainly suppressing pathways linked to prostate cell movement, growth, and viability. Only two genes, ANLN and ECT2, were strongly correlated with prostate cancer prognosis. Downregulation of ANLN and ECT2 was also shown to repress signaling pathways involved in prostate cell movement, growth, malignant transformation, and viability. In further validation utilizing prostate cancer cohorts comprised of African American and European American men, patients tended to have better sur-vival rates when these genes were less active. Our results suggest that vitamin D decreases the activity of these genes and could be important for preventing prostate cancer, especially for African American men. This could lead to the development of new treatments targeting specific genes and pathways involved in prostate cancer growth.

DNA methylation contributes to natural human variation

Project description:DNA methylation analysis using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip platform (Illumina) of 96 Caucasian American, 96 Han Chinese American and 96 African American LCL samples determined differences in terms of differentially methylated sites. Importantly, the observed differences were confirmed in primary blood samples of 10 healthy Caucasian, 10 African American (GSE36064) and 10 Asian individuals. Genes associated to differentially methylated site suggest an influence of DNA methylation on phenotype differences. Interestingly, methylation differences could be partially traced back to genetic polymorphisms. DNA was quantified by Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Reagent (Invitrogen) and the integrity was analyzed in a 1.3% agarose gel. Bisulfite conversion of 600 ng of each sample was perform according to the manufacturer's recommendation for Illumina Infinium Assay. Effective bisulphite conversion was checked for three controls that were converted simultaneously with the samples. 4 ul of bisulfite converted DNA were used to hybridize on Infinium HumanMethylation 450 BeadChip, following Illumina Infinium HD Methylation protocol. Chip analysis was performed using Illumina HiScan SQ fluorescent scanner. The intensities of the images are extracted using GenomeStudio (2010.3) Methylation module (1.8.5) software. Methylation score of each CpG is represented as beta value.
