Engaging Black Men in Colorectal Cancer Screening

ABSTRACT: To determine the unmet needs, attitudes, barriers and facilitators of African American (AA)/ Black men use of colorectal cancer screening and describe how community leaders such as barbers may act as Community Champions to educate and facilitate screening participation.

Cooperation Between PRMT1 and PRMT6 Drives Lung Cancer Health Disparities Among Black/African American Men

Project description:SUMMARY Non-Hispanic Black/African American (Black/AA) men in the United States have disproportionally higher incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer compared to non-Hispanic White (NHW) men. Biological factors are believed to play critical roles in driving the disparities. Nevertheless, large-scale genomic studies fail to identify significant somatic differences in lung cancer driver genes contributing to the disparities. Elevated expression of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) correlating with poorer prognosis is observed in many cancer types. Here, we observed a higher PRMT6 expression in lung cancer of Black/AA men compared to NHW men. PRMT6 formed a heteromer complex with PRMT1 to catalyze arginine methylation of interleukin enhancer-binding factor 2 essential for cell proliferation. Disrupting PRMT1/PRMT6 heteromer complex by a competitive peptide reduced cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines and lung cancer patient-derived organoids. This work implicates that PRMT1/PRMT6 heteromer complex contributes to poorer lung cancer outcomes in Black/AA men vs. NHW men that could serve as a target to eliminate cancer health disparities.

Addressing Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Screening in Black and Underserved Phoenix Communities

Project description:This clinical trial studies disparities involving colorectal cancer prevention and screening in Black and underserved communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Black community is disproportionately impacted by colorectal cancer, with the highest rate of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. There are complex reasons behind these disparities, largely related to socioeconomic factors and healthcare access. Providing access to free, home-based fecal immunochemical testing (FIT), colorectal screening education, and appropriate follow-up to predominantly Black community-based organizations and underserved communities may help to close this gap.

Plasma cells are enriched in localized prostate cancer in black men and are associated with improved outcomes [Validation Cohort]

Project description:Black men die more often of prostate cancer (PC) yet, interestingly, may derive greater survival benefits from immunotherapy. Since no signatures of immune-responsiveness exist for PC, we explored race-based immune-profiles to identify vulnerabilities. Black men have increases in plasma cell infiltrate and associated augmented NK cell and IgG activity. These findings are associated with improved survival and nominate plasma cells as drivers of PC immune-responsiveness.

Molecular Dysregulation Underlying Racial Disparity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly fatal disease with mortality running parallel to its incidence. For HCC patients, there is a statistically significant increase in incidence and mortality and a decrease in 5-year survival rates in African American (AA)/Black patients compared to non-Hispanic (white) patients. There is a gap of knowledge in our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the HCC racial disparity between AA/Black and white patients. To address this issue, we analyzed existing RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data from HCC patients in the TCGA database, and performed RNA-seq in 14 white and 19 AA/Black HCC patients from Virginia Commonwealth University. In both analysis the only pathway which showed statistically significant activation in AA/Black patients, compared to white patients, was type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. A four gene signature of IFN-I-stimulated genes (ISGs) showed increased expression in AA/Black HCC tumors compared to their white counterparts. HCC is a disease of chronic inflammation and IFN-I function as a pro-inflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokine. These findings suggest a potential role of IFN-I in conferring disparity in AA/Black HCC patients.

Bovine nose tissues: Yellow nose vs. Black nose

Project description:The coat color of mammals is determined by the melanogenesis pathway, which is responsible for maintaining the balance between black-brown eumelanin and yellow-reddish phaeomelanin. It is also believed that the color of the bovine nose is regulated in a similar manner; however, the molecular mechanism underlying pigment deposition in the black nose has yet to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to identify melanogenesis-associated genes that are differentially expressed in the black vs. yellow nose of native Korean cows. Experiment, Yellow nose vs. Black nose HanWoo

The Jejunum Mucosa of Female Black-boned Chickens: Control vs. Heat-stressed Treatment

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the jejunum mucosa with 1.5 fold-change reporter genes in comparing control black-boned chickens under normal temperature (NT) conditon with heat-stress treated black-boned chickens under high temperature (HT) condition. Goal was to determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in co-family black-boned chickens exposure to heat stress based on global chicken gene expression.
