Internet-Based Motivational Interviewing for Colonoscopy

ABSTRACT: Compared to other racial groups, African Americans have the highest colorectal cancer (CRC) morbidity and mortality rates. Although colonoscopies can prevent CRC, nearly one third of African Americans have not received a screening colonoscopy within the recommended time frame (one colonoscopy per ten years). It is critical to increase African Americans’ screening colonoscopy rates in order to reduce racial inequities in CRC morbidity and mortality. Previous research suggests that a motivational interviewing based intervention may help improve screening colonoscopy uptake. This study will conduct a randomized clinical trial examining the efficacy of a motivational interviewing informed tablet app, called e-Motivate, to improve African Americans’ screening colonoscopy uptake. Participants will be African Americans who receive a referral for a screening colonoscopy. Participants (N=200) will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) usual care group (N=100); or (2) e-Motivate app group (N=100). Participants in the usual care group will receive standard clinical care which includes patient navigation (e.g., scheduling, reminder calls). Participants in the e-Motivate group will complete the e-Motivate app in the clinic immediately after they receive a referral for the screening colonoscopy. The participants in the e-Motivate app group will also receive usual care. Six months following the initial referral, participants’ medical charts will be reviewed to determine whether the participants completed the recommended screening colonoscopy. Secondary outcomes (e.g., bowel prep quality, number of cancellations) will also be analyzed.

DNA methylation in newborn cordblood

Project description:There is extensive variation in DNA methylation between individuals and ethnic groups. These differences can arise from a combination of genetic and non-genetic influences and potential modifiers include nutritional cues, early life experience, and social and physical environments. Here we have assayed genome-wide DNA methylation in neonatal cord blood from African American, European American, and other ancestral groups. This is part of the CANDLE Study (Conditions Affecting Neurocognitive Development and Learning in Early Childhood). Our overarching goal is to determine the different environmental and maternal factors that can modify DNA methylation in newborns. This is a cross-sectional study of a total of 216 racially diverse participants of CANDLE. Cordblood was collected at birth. DNA methylation was measured using the Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip. Based on maternal self-report, the samples are 112 African Americans, 91 European Americans and 13 other racial or mixed race group.

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.

RNA splicing and aggregate gene expression differences between lung squamous cell carcinoma from patients of West African and European ancestry

Project description:Study of genes that are differentially spliced and differentially expressed between African Americans and whites with lung squamous cell cancer. Despite racial disparities in lung cancer, the molecular landscape of lung cancer in patients of African ancestry remains underexplored. Population-related differences in alternative RNA splicing have not been explored. We identified differentially spliced genes and differentially expressed genes between lung squamous cell carcinoma from patients of West African and European ancestry.

Peer Patient Navigation for Colon Cancer Screening

Project description:Cancer health disparities related to race and ethnicity are among the most serious problems facing the US health care system. A recent institute of medicine report stated that such disparities are seen at every level of health care, from prevention to treatment and follow-up. This problem is acutely evident in the figures for colorectal cancer (CRC) among African Americans. According to the American cancer society, African Americans have the highest CRC incidence and mortality of any ethnic/racial group. Indeed, CRC incidence and mortality are 15% and 43% higher among African Americans than whites, respectively. These disparities could be effectively reduced through greater African American participation in CRC screening and early detection. More importantly, due to the preponderance of CRC in African Americans beyond the reach of the flexible sigmoidoscopy (1), increased adherence to colonoscopy among African Americans will save lives. Although there is clear evidence that providing patients with someone to help them manage/navigate the health care system (i.e., patient navigation (PN)) is effective in helping them to complete cancer screening, very few hospitals provide PN for colonoscopy. The vast majority of hospitals in NYC are unable to provide PN for patients for whom colonoscopy is recommended, in large part because of the costs associated with professional-led PN. This project seeks to address this serious public health problem by investigating the success of training African Americans who have undergone colonoscopy to serve as volunteer peer patient navigators to encourage others from their community to complete CRC screening via colonoscopy.

Transcriptome profiling of normal breast tissue

Project description:The Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank at Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (KTB) is the only repository of normal breast tissues donated by healthy women. Here, we examined the transcriptome profiling of normal breasts from 190 healthy women, including 62 African Americans, 11 Asians, and 109 Caucasians. Correlation analysis between geen expression and risk factors for breast cancer (such as smoking, BMI, age, racial background) was performed.

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.

Racial Disparities in Epigenetic Aging of the Right versus the Left Colon

Project description:Here, we present the first study showing race and side-specific differences in the trajectories of epigenetic aging in normal colonic mucosa. The cohort conisted of matched biopsies of left/right colon from healthy individuals (n=129). The majority of individuals were African American (n=89). Methylation arrays (Illumina EPIC) were performed on DNA extracted from fresh frozen biopsies taken at the time of colonoscopy. Our results provide novel insight of epigenetic aging underlying racial disparities in CRC. Side-specific colonic epigenetic aging may be a promising marker to guide interventions to reduce CRC burden.

Integrative analysis of DNA methylation and microRNA expression reveals mechanisms of disparity in hepatocellular carcinoma [RNA-Seq]

Project description:We evaluate the epigenetic mechanisms of racial disparity in HCC through an integrated analysis of DNA methylation, miRNA, and combined regulation of gene expression. Specifically, we acquired DNA methylation, mRNA-seq, and miRNA-seq data through the analysis of tumor and adjacent normal liver tissues from African Americans (AA) and European Americans (EA) with HCC. Results: Using mixed ANOVA, we identified cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites, mRNAs, and miRNAs that are statistically significantly altered in HCC vs. adjacent normal in a race-specific manner. Through integrative analysis, we identified significantly differentially expressed genes in HCC with disparate epigenetic regulation, associated with changes in miRNA expression for AA and DNA methylation for EA.
