COMPARISON OF THE VIROLOGIC EFFICACY OF NULFINAVIR/DMP 266 IN COMBINATION

H Kenneth, Professor
Indiana Univ-purdue Univ At Indianapoliscity: Indianapolis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: This study is a randomized, partially double-blind, three-arm, multicenter trial in HIV-infected subjects with long-term nucleoside exposure. Eligible subjects are participants in ACTG 302 or 303 who continue on their initially assigned nucleoside therapy. Subjects with plasma HIV RNA > 500 copies/ml, confirmed either at baseline or during their monitoring phase, will be randomized to (1) 2 RTIs + Nelfinavir (NFV), (2) 2 RTIs + DMP-266, or (3) 2 RTIs + NFV + DMP-266. The study will be partially blinded in that subjects will receive open-label reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The duration of study treatment is planned to be at least 48 weeks. Subjects with plasma HIV RNA < 500 copies/ml at baseline will continue to receive their current 302/303 nucleoside regimen, taken in an open-label capacity, as long as serial determinations of HIV RNA remain < 500 copies/ml. The cohort of subjects with delayed randomization will be analyzed separately; analysis of Part A subjects will not depend on completion of the study by the Part B subjects

H Kenneth, Professor
Indiana Univ-purdue Univ At Indianapoliscity: Indianapolis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: This will be an open-label treatment study. Upon completion of the treatment regimen in an ongoing thermopentin U.S. clinical Phase 2 or 3 study, subjects will be offered the opportunity to enroll in this open- label study and will receive subcutaneous injections of thymopentin, 50 mg.1.0 mL, three times a week, every other day. Subjects currently enrolled in the ongoing open-label protocol (07.32.008-80) will be allowed to roll over into this study. Subjects will maintain their previously assigned study number and will continue to self-administer theri injections. Subjects whodiscontinue treatment with thymopentin for more than 1 month will not be allowed to restart thymopentin unless the investigator and the subject feel it is in the subjects best interest to do so. If a decision to restart thymopentin is make, complete written documentation of the rationale must be provided to the Sponsor by the Investigator prior to restarting treatment

H Kenneth, Professor
Indiana Univ-purdue Univ At Indianapoliscity: Indianapolis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial involving subjects with prolonged prior experience with ZDV/ddI or ZDV/ddC combination therapies. Eligible subjects are participants in ACTG 175 who remanied of their initially assigned combination therapy until the end of follow-up in ACTG 175, or were crossed over to one of the combination therapies (because of a 50% deline for baseline in CD4+ cell count or the development of major HIV-related disease). They must also have remained on that combination therapy for any intervening period between the end of data collection for ACTG 175 (Feb 28,1995) and entry into ACTG 303. Subjects will be randomized to one of three treatment arms eith to continue their ZDV/ddI or ZDV/ddC, or to add 3TC to their ZDV/ddI or ZDV/ddC, or to switch to ZDV/3TC. The study will be partially blinded in that subjects will take either ddI or ddI placebo, or ddC or ddC placebo, as well as 3TC placebo. The primary outcome measure is change in HIV RNA copy number. The duration of study treatment is planned to be 48 weeks

ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY AND RESISTANCE OF LAMIVUDINE IN COMBINATION WITH DDI OR D4T

H Kenneth, Professor
Indiana Univ-purdue Univ At Indianapoliscity: Indianapolis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: This is a Phase II, Randomized, Partially Double Blind, Six Arm Study. Subjects will be randomized twice at entry into the study. Initially, subjects will be randomized to either the ddI or d4T limbs and then within a limb, will be randomized a second time into one of three study arms. Randomiztion into one of the three study arms of each limb will occur in a 1.51.51 ratio. This randomization ratio is chosen in order to minimize sample size while retaining power to detect a 0.5-log10 difference between arms at Weeks 24 and 48. At study week 24, subjects on monotherapy will have lamivudine (3TC) added to their regimen in a blinded fashion. Subjects who begin the study on combination therapy will remain on that same combination therapy. To simplify dosing, blinding of limb assignment will not occur, but randomization into the arms of each of the limbs will be blinded

H Kenneth, Professor
Indiana Univ-purdue Univ At Indianapoliscity: Indianapolis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: In this phase III trial, HIV-infected women diagnosed with CIN I by cervical biopsy will be randomized to either oral isotretinoin or observation for 6 months. Randomized subjects on both arms will be followed to the study termination to assess persistence/recurrence or progression of CIN I. Subjects who reach an endpoint of CIN II or III that is confirmed by a biopsy by central pathology review may be eligible for protocol ACTG 200 or they may be followed by their personal gynecologist. The primary objective To determine the efficacy of oral isotretinoin for prevention of progression of mild dysplasia to more severe dysplasia by comparing the time to progression of CIN I to CIN II, III, or invasive cancer in subjects receiving isotretinoin vs. observation. The secondary objectives To determine the efficacy of oral isotretinoin for the treatment of CIN I by comparing the proportion of subjects who are free of dysplasia at 6 months among those receiving isotretinoin vs observation; and to assess the adverse effects and toxicity or oral isotretinoin in HIV-infected women. Tertiary objectives To correlate baseline CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts with time to progression to CIN II, III, or invasive cancer. To document potential differences between progression and/or regression of subjects who are being treated for primary vs recurrent dysplasia

TUBULIN STRUCTURE BY ELECTRON CRYSTALLOGRAPHY

H Kenneth
University Of Calif-lawrenc Berkeley Labcity: Berkeley    country: United States (us)

Abstract: We will study the molecular structure of tubulin in crystalline sheets which are induced by small concentrations of zinc ions. Structural information obtained should help in understanding the ways in which tubulin in microtubules and other assemblies carries out its myriad of functions during the development and life of a cell. Electron crystallography, which is ideally suited to the study of twodimensional specimens such as these sheets, will be the main experimental technique. Data from electron micrographs of the crystalline lattice and, where possible, electron diffraction patterns can be combined to yield a three-dimensional density map of the molecule, and this map can then be interpreted in terms of the atomic structure. Electron crystallographic techniques have developed over the last few years to the point where we can make significant contributions using the types of tubulin sheets which have been used in previously published structural studies. We will, though, spend some effort on improving the size and quality of these sheets in order to make extension of this work to high resolution simpler and more efficient

BILIVERDIN IN MELANOMA CELL DIFFERENTIATION

H Kenneth
Brigham And Women´s Hospitalcity: Boston    country: United States (us)

Abstract: We reported that biliverdin is required for formation of eyes, brain, spinal cord and other dorsal organs in amphibia. Beyond that mandatory requirement for embryogenesis, we found that biliverdin is a pleiotropic molecule capable of altering the phenotypes of a number of cancer cells to a more differentiated state. An early and common behavior caused by biliverdin is an arrest of proliferation in six cancer cells (melanoma, colon adenocarcinoma, liposarcoma, thyroid carcinoma, T and B cell lymphomas). In colon adenocarcinoma, the c Myc oncogene disapp9ears within two days of incubating with 5 x 10-7 M biliverdin. Concurrently, biliverdin slows their G1 to S transition. Subsequently, two differentiation markers, CEA and alkaline phosphatase, are up-regulated. These findings suggest that biliverdin reverses the phenotypic consequences of APC and beta catenin mutations characteristic of colon adenocarcinoma. Central to the current proposal are the documented findings that, like in colon adenocarcinoma, melanoma cells characteristically exhibit mutations in the same signaling system including GSK3beta phosphorylation sites of beta catenin and/or abnormally expressing high amounts of beta catenin itself. These mutations and over-expression lead to an increase in stable cytoplasmic beta catenin and enhanced transcription of beta catenin/Tef/Lef oncogenes, such as c Myc. The common alterations in beta catenin signaling found in colon cancer and melanoma cells calls for examination of the possibility that the dermatological malignancy also may be responsive to the effects of biliverdin and be directed along a differentiation pathway. In favor of this premise is a) our finding that biliverdin arrests cell division if SJ NEK 24 melanoma cell and b) literature reports that 12-o-tetra decanoyl phorbol 13 acetate (TPA), a molecule that up-regulates heme oxygenase 1 (HO 1) in cancer cells and, therefore, must lead to an increase in biliverdin content of these cells, also inhibits proliferation of melanoma cells. Consequently, we propose to examine the effect of biliverdin on SK MEL 24 phenotype focusing on oncogene molecules transcriptionally regulated by the beta catenin signaling system (Aim 1) and on beta catenin itself and GSK3beta, the enzyme responsible for its phosphorylation and degradation (Aim 2). These two aims will be examined by incubating the SK MEL 24 cells with biliverdin. If the results are positive, we will examined these same molecules in SK MEL 24 cells induced to synthesize biliverdin in response to phenylarsine oxide, a known activator of heme oxygenase 1 (Aim 3). Positive results will demonstrate that melanoma cells can be made to undergo differentiation and open the door to possible novel therapeutic interventions

DRUG EFFECTS ON AUTOMATICITY IN THE HEART

H Kenneth, Assistant Professor Of Medicin
Columbia Univ New York Morningsidecity: New York    country: United States (us)

Abstract: We propose to use standard microelectrode techniques to study the electrophysiology and pharmacology of spontaneous impulse initiation in partially depolarized canine Purkinje fibers and myocardium. Abnormal automaticity will be induced in isolated Purkinje fibers and ventricular muscle preparations by current clamp depolarization techniques, or by depolarization with barium chloride, cesium chloride or palmityl carnitine. Triggered activity from early afterdepolarizations will be induced in Purkinje fibers with N-acetyl procainamide or cibenzoline. The response of both types of abnormal impulses will be studied with standard stimulation protocols, including intracellular current pulses, and will be compared to the results obtained from analogous studies on automaticity in normal Purkinje fibers. We will study the effects of standard and experimental antiarrhythmic drugs on these experimental models of abnormal automaticity. We will carry out parallel studies on the effects of these drugs on similar types of abnormal automaticity that occur in pathological canine (15-30 hr infarct zone Purkinje fiber) or feline cardiac tissues. Drug studies will also be carried out on triggered activity in infarct zone preparations when this is encountered. We will try to develop a model of "current of injury" induced abnormal automaticity, as may occur during acute ischemia. These studies should give us insights into the electrophysiological mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias, and may lead to improved, and perhaps rational, pharmacotherapy. If possible, we will extend extracellular unipolar recording techniques to detect electrical activity from the endocardial surface of the in situ canine ventricle 1. to detect early afterdepolarizations and triggered activity in hearts made arrhythmic with N-acetyl procainamide, and 2. to detect activity during VPDs during the 24-hour arrhythmias occurring after coronary ligation, to demonstrate the presence of abnormal automaticity or triggered (EAD or DAD) activity

Abstract: This will be an open-label treatment study. Upon completion of the treatment regimen in an ongoing thermopentin U.S. clinical Phase 2 or 3 study, subjects will be offered the opportunity to enroll in this open- label study and will receive subcutaneous injections of thymopentin, 50 mg.1.0 mL, three times a week, every other day. Subjects currently enrolled in the ongoing open-label protocol (07.32.008-80) will be allowed to roll over into this study. Subjects will maintain their previously assigned study number and will continue to self-administer theri injections. Subjects whodiscontinue treatment with thymopentin for more than 1 month will not be allowed to restart thymopentin unless the investigator and the subject feel it is in the subjects best interest to do so. If a decision to restart thymopentin is make, complete written documentation of the rationale must be provided to the Sponsor by the Investigator prior to restarting treatment

THE ROLE OF THE PULVINAR IN VISUAL ATTENTION

H Kenneth, Professor
University Of California Daviscity: Davis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Objective The pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus is one of the most enigmatic structures in the brain. Of thalamic nuclei, it shows the largest increase in size with evolution, keeping pace with the size of primate neocortex. Despite considerable effort, its function remains essentially completely unknown. Two related suggestions dominate current thinking about the pulvinar, and each has some experimental support. Neither, however, has been critically tested, and the present application is intended to provide this critical test of both ideas. The first idea is that the pulvinar controls the spatial location of directed attention. This idea has support - though not conclusive - from lesion studies and physiological recording studies. We plan to directly test this idea by perturbing activity in the pulvinar while recording in extrastriate cortex. We know that directed attention produces local changes in the gain of response of extrastriate neurons; activation of the pulvinar should mimic this change and reversible inactivation of the pulvinar should eliminate it. The other suggestion for the role of the pulvinar concerns the mechanism of such gain changes in sensory cortex. In particular, it has been suggested that recurrent projections between the pulvinar and cortical structures control the flow of information between cortical areas; this regulation might underlie any role in directing spatial attention. We plan to test this idea using multiple electrode recording in extrastriate cortex. Two dorsal extrastriate areas, the middle temporal (MT) and the medial superior temporal (MST) are both connected to the same subdivision of the pulvinar (Plm), and also connected with each other - MT provides a dominant source of feedforward input to MST. We will record from both structures simultaneously while again perturbing the activity in the pulvinar. If the connections with the pulvinar regulate information flow in visual cortex, we predict that such perturbation will modulate the cross-correlation of activity between MT and MST. Success on either aim will dramatically influence our thinking about the function of thalamocortical circuits

HEIRARCHICAL PROCESSING IN THE MOTION SYSTEM

H Kenneth, Professor
University Of California Daviscity: Davis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Objective The basic "building blocks" of visual perception are starting to become reasonably well understood, and we can make a fairly good account of how simple discriminations are done. What we understand much less is how the visual system solves more realistic, everyday challenges. Visually guided navigation is a particularly good "model system" for studying real-world visual processes in the laboratory. The perception of self-motion from the pattern of motion on the retina has been studied extensively, though we still know very little about where in the brain the critical processing steps occur, and how the complex pattern of motion is converted into effective movement. The present proposal seeks to answer these open questions. First, we will seek direct evidence for the involvement of multiple cortical areas in the perception of self-motion, by using multiple, simultaneous recording techniques while our experimental animals are performing a discrimination of self-motion direction. Secondly, we will seek to ask if the parietal cortical area (the ventral intraparietal area or VIP) is both necessary for self-motion perception and is actually used. We will do this by perturbing the pattern of activity in VIP in the context of the self-motion task, both by reversible inactivation as well as by electrical activation. These complementary methods should greatly extend our understanding of how the parietal cortex participates in self-motion perception. However, to really extend our knowledge of self-motion perception, we need to extend the inquiry into a more active context. Human-factors studies have revealed that guidance of self-motion ("steering") is a very active process, with the direction of gaze being a critical component. However, next to nothing is known about the central nervous system mechanisms used in this active task. So, we propose to establish, characterize and exploit an animal model of active locomotion to study the involvement of brain structures in this task. We will train our subject to direct their "virtual" trajectories by joystick, and characterize how their normal behavior is influenced by cues including target direction, gaze direction, gaze velocity, and visual motion information. We will then record activity in multiple cortical areas while animals are engaged in this task, and explore the signals in visual and parietal cortex to better understand brain mechanisms of visually guided navigation. This information, in the long term, might be useful in helping the disabled to navigate, and in the development of visual prosthetics for the blind

Abstract: This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This open label and non-randomized pharmacokinetic (PK) study will examine the interaction between a stable protease inhibitor (PI)-containing regimen, (lopinavir/ritonavir [LPV/r]), and the transdermal contraceptive system (TCS), ORTHO EVRA¿ patch, in HIV-1-infected women of reproductive age. The effect of LPV/r on the ethinyl estradiol (EE) PK of single dose oral contraceptive Ortho Novum (ON 1/35) will also be studied. To determine the effect of LPV/r on EE PK with the ORTHO EVRA patch, the study will monitor EE levels during the patch cycle week 3 (study weeks menses (M)+3 to M+4) in subjects on stable LPV/r and subjects who are not receiving PIs, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), or any antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. Norelgestromin (NGMN) PK will also be measured during patch cycle week 3. The study will compare plasma HIV-1 RNA, CD4+/CD8+ counts, and clinical parameters before and after the initiation of the ORTHO EVRA patch. Nationally, 54 subjects will be enrolled with local expected enrolled to be approximately 10 subjects. Subjects will undergo physical exams, laboratory testing, and questionnaire completion. There will be 10 study visits and one telephone contact within a period of less than three months

THE ROLE OF THE PULVINAR IN VISUAL ATTENTION

H Kenneth, Professor
University Of California Daviscity: Davis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Objective The pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus is one of the most enigmatic structures in the brain. Of thalamic nuclei, it shows the largest increase in size with evolution, keeping pace with the size of primate neocortex. Despite considerable effort, its function remains essentially completely unknown. Two related suggestions dominate current thinking about the pulvinar, and each has some experimental support. Neither, however, has been critically tested, and the present application is intended to provide this critical test of both ideas. The first idea is that the pulvinar controls the spatial location of directed attention. This idea has support - though not conclusive - from lesion studies and physiological recording studies. We plan to directly test this idea by perturbing activity in the pulvinar while recording in extrastriate cortex. We know that directed attention produces local changes in the gain of response of extrastriate neurons; activation of the pulvinar should mimic this change and reversible inactivation of the pulvinar should eliminate it. The other suggestion for the role of the pulvinar concerns the mechanism of such gain changes in sensory cortex. In particular, it has been suggested that recurrent projections between the pulvinar and cortical structures control the flow of information between cortical areas; this regulation might underlie any role in directing spatial attention. We plan to test this idea using multiple electrode recording in extrastriate cortex. Two dorsal extrastriate areas, the middle temporal (MT) and the medial superior temporal (MST) are both connected to the same subdivision of the pulvinar (Plm), and also connected with each other - MT provides a dominant source of feedforward input to MST. We will record from both structures simultaneously while again perturbing the activity in the pulvinar. If the connections with the pulvinar regulate information flow in visual cortex, we predict that such perturbation will modulate the cross-correlation of activity between MT and MST. Success on either aim will dramatically influence our thinking about the function of thalamocortical circuits

Abstract: This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. HIV infection is a significant risk factor for HPV infection and the development of HPV-associated diseases. Today, treatment with HART has been demonstrated to result in significant increase in CD 4 cell counts and partial reconstitution of the immune system. A5029 is an observational, multicenter, prospective study designed to assess the conversion rate of HPV DNA among those HIV-infected subjects who have responded to HAART with suppressed HIV-1 RNA levels after 48 weeks. The study population includes antiretroviral-naive, HIV-infected, post-menarche females. Pap smears and other study data will be obtained prospectively from subjects at baseline, weeks 24,48 and every 48 weeks thereafter. The study will extend for 144 weeks after accrual of the last subject. A total of 160 subjects who are HIV-infected, antiretroviral naive, post-menarche females >13 years of age with 14 days of antiretroviral therapy at any time since HIV diagnosis will be enrolled. Subjects must be coenrolled in an approved Haart treatment trial, Phase II or higher, and will remain on A5029 even if they withdraw from the antiretroviral trial, as long as the antiretroviral trial HAART treatment was begun

Abstract: This study is a randomized, partially double-blind, three-arm, multi-center trial in HIV-infected subjects with long-term nucleoside exposure. Eligible subjects are participants in ACTG 302 or 303 who continue on their initially assigned nucleoside therapy. Subjects with plasma HIV RNA > 500 copies/ml, confirmed either at baseline or during their monitoring phase, will be randomized to (1) 2 RTIs + Nelfinavir (NFV), (2) 2 RTIs + DMP-266, or (3) 2 RTIs + NFV + DMP-266. The study will be partially blinded in that subjects will receive open-label reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The duration of study treatment is planned to be at least 48 weeks. Subjects with plasma HIV RNA < 500 copies/ml at baseline will continue to receive their current 302/303 nucleoside regimen, taken in an open-label capacity, as long as serial determinations of HIV RNA remain < 500 copies/ml. The cohort of subjects with delayed randomization will be analyzed separately; analysis of Part A subjects will not depend on completion of the study by the Part B subjects

GORDON RESEACH CONFERENCE ON 3D EM OF MACROMOLECULES

H Kenneth
Gordon Research Conferencescity: West Kingston    country: United States (us)

Grant 5R13RR018366-03 from National Center For Research Resources

Abstract: This proposal requests support for the 10th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on 3D Electron Microscopy of Macromolecules. EM occupies a unique position in the biological armamentarium in that it can address questions at the molecular and cellular level that are unapproachable by other structural methods. EM can bridge light microscopic studies at subcellular resolutions with atomic resolution structures provided by X-ray crystallography and NMR. Recent, technical breakthroughs enable 3D structures to be determined with ever-increasing accuracy thereby opening the way to the study of macromolecular systems under defined physiological conditions. The result is new opportunities for understanding biological mechanisms, interactions between macromolecules and the principles of bimolecular design. This series of conferences fosters an integrated view of biological complexity by bringing together scientists working at different levels of the structural hierarchy. These meetings serve to define the challenges of the future and to focus a concerted approach to problems in the preparation, imaging and interpretation of biological specimens that range in size from the molecular to the subcellular. The impact of the preceding nine conferences has been such that the 3D EM community has come to regard this GRC as an event of pivotal importance. The 2003 conference is organized around the theme of "Bridging Cellular, Molecular and Atomic Resolution". Our goal has been to create a dynamic forum for (i) the dissemination of major progress in the field over the past two years and (ii) identification of new technical and biological challenges, which must be addressed in order for 3D EM to become an essential and ubiquitous tool for solving cell biological problems. In the spirit of the GRC, we have chosen a program that represents the frontier of our field. Speakers have been chosen based on the importance of their recent contributions and the potential impact of their particular research approach. Speakers from outside the field have been selected in the hope of fostering interdisciplinary approaches and for challenging the field to reach in directions it has so far not contemplated. Based on past experience, we confidently expect that the 3D EM GRC will continue to play a central role in defining new technical challenges, and in focusing a concerted approach to understanding fundamental biological questions

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH TRAINING PROGRAM CONTINU*

H Kenneth
Oregon State Universitycity: Corvallis    country: United States (us)

Grant 1T01OH008407-01 from National Institute For Occupational Safety And Health

Abstract: This proposal is to establish a coordinated graduate degree program in occupational safety and health within the Departments of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) and Public Health (PH) at Oregon State University (OSU). The programs were previously separate. This was funded for the first time in 2002 (for 3 years), with Woldstad as the PI, who has since left the University. It is not clear when the graduate programs started. Separately administered academic programs will lead to a Masters of Science (M.S.) degree in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering with an emphasis in human systems engineering, or an M.S. degree in Environment, Safety and Health with an emphasis in occupational safety. The purpose of the training program is to provide students with a sound educational experience in occupational safety and health, including academic coursework, practical experience and research. The program is designed to prepare students for careers as occupational safety and health, human factors, and ergonomic specialists in both private and governmental sectors. The core curriculum for this program consists of 5 quarter courses in (PH) focusing on occupational safety and health including, industrial hygiene, and 5 quarter courses in (IME) focusing on ergonomics and human factors engineering. There are still two separately administered programs, but they are now coordinating coursework. The program is designed to be completed in approximately 18 months. IME courses focus on ergonomics, with the PH courses focused on safety and IH. They require 49-53 credits for IME and 48 for the PH (trimester system)

BIOMARKERS OF EXPOSURE AND RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL TOBACCO SMOKE IN THE PANCREA

H Kenneth
Sloan-kettering Institute For Cancer Rescity: New York    country: United States (us)

Grant 1K08ES019615-01 from National Institute Of Environmental Health Sciences

Abstract: This proposal describes a systems biology approach to biomarker discovery and validation focused on exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and its causal link to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Cigarette smoke (CS) is an extremely complex mixture, including numerous tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). The present proposal stems from significant advances the investigators have made in the quantification of tobacco-derived compounds and protein biomarkers using stable isotope methodology. CS is the major known environmental risk factor for PDAC, with recent studies implicating both mainstream tobacco smoke and ETS. PDAC is the 4th most common cause of cancer-related mortality in the US and is universally lethal. This research plan is based on four important observations 1) TSNA metabolism varies greatly among individuals, and higher levels have been associated with lung cancer. 2) TSNAs have also been shown to cause PDAC in laboratory animals. 3) ETS, which contains TSNAs, causes pancreatic inflammation in exposed rats. 4) Pancreatic inflammation and PDAC result in specific changes in proteins secreted by pancreatic cells which we have extensively characterized. Based on these observations, the investigators have developed the following hypotheses ETS exposes the pancreas to toxic chemicals exemplified by NNK and its metabolite NNAL. Inter-individual differences in metabolism cause serum and tissue levels of these toxic chemicals to vary widely, contributing to differences in PDAC susceptibility. Exposure of the pancreas to these toxic chemicals results in inflammation and secretion of biomarkers that can be quantified and used to asses an individual´s risk for PDAC. To test these hypotheses, the following objectives/specific aims will be pursued 1) To use an in vitro system to characterize and quantify proteomic and metabolomic biomarkers of pancreatic ETS exposure and biological response. 2) To develop panels of biomarkers using stable isotope labeling methodology in order to rigorously assess pancreatic ETS exposure and biological response. 3) To use serum and urine samples from PDAC subjects with quantified levels of ETS exposure and non-exposed controls to refine a biomarker panel of ETS exposure and biological response identified in aim 2. 4) To perform a replication study of the biomarker panel developed in aim 3 to assess the sensitivity and specificity of an individual´s risk for PDAC. This proposal will elaborate on the innovative methods developed and significant findings already made by the principal investigator. A unique, interdisciplinary approach has been developed to execute the research described. By achieving these specific aims, this proposal will have a highly significant impact on the field. Furthermore, the investigators´ results will shed important light on the etiological role of ETS in PDAC. Biomarkers developed will be used for identifying persons at increased risk for and with early stage PDAC. This translational approach will impact on clinical practice by offering the possibility of surgical resection, which is currently the only realistic option for improving survival from this devastating disease

Relevance: Narrative: The systems biology approach presented in this proposal will develop environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and pancreas derived biomarkers of exposure and response. These studies will inform the etiological link between ETS and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), leading to improved clinical practice. We envision a fruitful line of study, with results generated from this proposal forming the basis for an independent research program

University Of Calif-lawrenc Berkeley Labcity: Berkeley    country: United States (us)

Grant 5P01GM051487-16 from National Institute Of General Medical Sciences

Abstract: This Program Project represents a coordinated and mutually supporting effort to pursue research in structural biology where electron diffraction and electron microscopy play a key role and to advance the technology that enables this research. Three projects within the Program represent applications of the methods of electron crystallography and microscopy, as well as of the instrumentation supported by the Program, to specific problems in structural biology. These applications focus on aspects of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and include (Project A) Studies of the structure of tubulin and its interactions with ligands and other proteins that affect the function of the microtubule cytoskeleton; (Project B) Studies of the apparatus in the inner ear that converts sound to nerve signals and controls sensitivity of hearing; (Project C) Studies of the proteins that connect microtubules to chromosomes and ensure proper chromosome segregation during cell division. Additional, separately funded research projects which rely to a smaller extent on equipment and facilities supported by the Program Project are also included as Associate member projects. The Administrative Core (Project D) maintains the major equipment, supports computer resources, continues our efforts to improve the quality and throughput of electron microscopy data, and provides a sense of intellectual community and common identity for all the participants in the Program Project. Our structural studies of several medically important protein complexes that play essential roles within the cell provide the basis for understanding their normal function as well as failures in these functions that are associated with disease and birth defects

H Kenneth, Professor
Indiana Univ-purdue Univ At Indianapoliscity: Indianapolis    country: United States (us)

Abstract: This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial involving subjects with prolonged prior experience with ZDV/ddI or ZDV/ddC combination therapies. Eligible subjects are participants in ACTG 175 who remanied of their initially assigned combination therapy until the end of follow-up in ACTG 175, or were crossed over to one of the combination therapies (because of a 50% deline for baseline in CD4+ cell count or the development of major HIV-related disease). They must also have remained on that combination therapy for any intervening period between the end of data collection for ACTG 175 (Feb 28,1995) and entry into ACTG 303. Subjects will be randomized to one of three treatment arms eith to continue their ZDV/ddI or ZDV/ddC, or to add 3TC to their ZDV/ddI or ZDV/ddC, or to switch to ZDV/3TC. The study will be partially blinded in that subjects will take either ddI or ddI placebo, or ddC or ddC placebo, as well as 3TC placebo. The primary outcome measure is change in HIV RNA copy number. The duration of study treatment is planned to be 48 weeks
