Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: The effect of parity and oral contraceptive (OC) use on breast cancer risk differs by cancer subtype as defined by histology. Family history of breast cancer impacts decisions regarding both parity and oral contraceptive use; it is unknown whether reproductive risk factors are related to uncommon histologies in women with and without a strong family history.
Methods: Using population-based data from the Breast Cancer Family Registry, we conducted analyses using unordered polytomous regression to determine the role of family history in associations between parity, OC use, and breast cancer histologic subtype, among 3,260 cases and 2,997 controls. Histologic types examined included ductal and lobular as well as the uncommon histologies of mucinous, tubular, and medullary cancer.
Results: Twenty-eight percent of cases and 9% of controls had a family history (defined as at least 1 first-degree relative with breast cancer). Cases with and without family history were similar in regards to OC use (75% and 73%, respectively were ever-users) and parity (2.08 children in cases with family history, 2.10 in cases without). In a multivariable model, when compared with controls, OC use was inversely associated with tumors of mucinous histology (OR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.23–0.79 for use ≥5 years vs. never use). There was a stronger inverse association with OC use and the mucinous subtype among those without a family history (OR = 0.27, 95% CI 0.13–0.57), and a nonsignificant positive association in those with family history (OR = 2.19, 95% CI 0.40–11.84). High parity (≥3 children) was positively associated with medullary histology (OR = 2.62, 95% CI 1.16–5.91, compared with nulliparity); the association was stronger among women without a family history (OR = 4.31, 95% CI 1.67–11.12), and was not significantly associated among those with a family history (OR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.06–2.29). Parity was inversely associated with the mucinous type (OR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.21–0.96, compared with nulliparity), and this effect remained stable in women with and without family history.
Conclusion: This study suggests that selected reproductive risk factors may only be related to uncommon breast cancer histologies among women without a family history of breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
The central importance of the HER2/Neu/EGFR/RAS signaling pathway has been well established in the growth, invasion and metastasis of human breast cancer, even though oncogenic RAS mutations are rare in breast cancer, activation of the tumor-promoting ERBB/RAS/MEK/MAPK pathway has been consistently documented in high-grade breast tumors. As such, novel approaches to inhibit activated ERBB/RAS signals constitute important measures to block tumor growth and metastasis in mammary tumors. In this study, instead of targeting an upstream signaling component such as HER2/EGFR/RAS, we targeted the most downstream signaling module identified in the RAS pathway — the SIAH proteolytic machinery. SIAH is an evolutionarily conserved RING E3 ligase that is a critical “gatekeeper” required for RAS signal transduction in human cancer cells. SIAH is specifically expressed in tumor cells in 120 human breast cancer patients examined so far. The increased SIAH expression is correlated with increased grades and aggressiveness of human breast cancer. We then asked whether inhibiting the gatekeeper function of SIAH would be effective in blocking mammary tumorigenesis and metastasis in human breast cancer. Our results indicated that SIAH2-deficiency successfully abolished tumor growth of three breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-468) in soft agar assays as well as in athymic nude mice. Importantly, by inhibiting SIAH2 function in highly aggressive human breast cancer cells, we are able to completely block tumorigenesis and metastasis of two highly invasive and metastatic human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435). These findings suggest that SIAH2 may be an attractive new therapeutic target for novel breast cancer therapy and developing anti-SIAH molecules will aid in expanding our arsenal of effective anticancer therapies. More effective breast cancer treatments may be obtained by multi-pronged synergistic inhibitions at upstream (HER2/EGFR membrane receptors), midstream (RAS/RAF/MEK/mTOR) and downstream (SIAH E3 ligase) signaling modules in the HER2/EGFR/RAS pathway in parallel. Thus, by attacking the growth-promoting ERBB/RAS pathway at multiple signaling modules simultaneously, we may be in a great position to halt the genesis, progression and metastasis of human breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inherited and de novo mutations in sodium channel genes underlie a variety of channelopathies. Mutations in SCN2A, encoding the brain sodium channel Na(V)1.2, have previously been reported to be associated with benign familial neonatal infantile seizures, febrile seizures plus, and intractable epilepsy of infancy. METHODS We evaluated the clinical characteristics in a patient with a neonatal-onset complex episodic neurologic phenotype. We screened SCN2A for mutations and carried out in vitro electrophysiologic analyses to study the consequences of the identified mutation. We studied the developmental expression of Na(V)1.2 in cerebellum by immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS The patient presented with neonatal-onset seizures and variable episodes of ataxia, myoclonia, headache, and back pain after 18 months of age. The patient carries a de novo missense mutation (p.Ala263Val) in SCN2A, which leads to a pronounced gain-of-function, in particular an increased persistent Na(+) current. Immunohistochemical studies suggest a developmentally increasing expression of Na(V)1.2 in granule cell axons projecting to Purkinje neurons. CONCLUSIONS These results can explain a neuronal hyperexcitability resulting in seizures and other episodic symptoms extending the spectrum of SCN2A-associated phenotypes. The developmentally increasing expression of Na(V)1.2 in cerebellum may be responsible for the later onset of episodic ataxia.

Abstract
The Wnt/beta-catenin/TCF4 pathway plays critical roles in the maintenance of small intestinal epithelium; however, downstream targets of the beta-catenin/TCF4 complex are not extensively characterized. We identified miR-30e as an immediate target activated by the beta-catenin/TCF4 complex. miR-30e was detected in the peri-nuclear region of the intestinal crypt IEC-6 cells. Bioinformatics analysis revealed clustered beta-catenin/TCF4 binding sites within the miR-30e promoter region. This promoter region was cloned into pGL3-control luciferase reporter vector, with the enhancer region removed. Transfection of pCMV-SPORT6-beta-catenin expression vector dose-dependently increased luciferase activity, and co-transfection of pCMV-SPORT6-TCF4 expression vector further enhanced the promoter activity. Dexamethasone-induced IEC-6 cells differentiation caused a 2.5-fold increase in miR-30e expression, and upon beta-catenin siRNA transfection, miR-30e increased 1.3-fold. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay confirmed the binding between beta-catenin/TCF4 complexes from IEC-6 nuclear extracts and the putative sequences in the miR-30e promoter. These results demonstrate that beta-catenin/TCF4 transactivates miR-30e during intestinal cell differentiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The interaction of glycoprotein (GP) Ibalpha with von Willebrand factor (VWF) initiates platelet adhesion, and simultaneously triggers intracellular signaling cascades leading to platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. Some of the signaling events are similar to those occurring during apoptosis, however, it is still unclear whether platelet apoptosis is induced by the GPIbalpha-VWF interaction. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the GPIbalpha-VWF interaction induces platelet apoptosis and the role of 14-3-3zeta in apoptotic signaling. METHODS Apoptotic events were assessed in platelets or Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing wild-type (1b9) or mutant GPIb-IX interacting with VWF by flow cytometry or western blotting. RESULTS Ristocetin-induced GPIbalpha-VWF interaction elicited apoptotic events in platelets, including phosphatidylserine exposure, elevations of Bax and Bak, gelsolin cleavage, and depolarization of mitochondrial inner transmembrane potential. Apoptotic events were also elicited in platelets exposed to pathologic shear stresses in the presence of VWF; however, the shear-induced apoptosis was eliminated by the anti-GPIbalpha antibody AK2. Furthermore, apoptotic events occurred in 1b9 cells stimulated with VWF and ristocetin, but were significantly diminished in two CHO cell lines expressing mutant GPIb-IX with GPIbalpha truncated at residue 551 or a serine-to-alanine mutation at the 14-3-3zeta-binding site in GPIbalpha. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the GPIbalpha-VWF interaction induces apoptotic events in platelets, and that the association of 14-3-3zeta with the cytoplasmic domain of GPIbalpha is essential for apoptotic signaling. This finding may suggest a novel mechanism for platelet clearance or some thrombocytopenic diseases.

Abstract
The relationship between plasma adiponectin and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in 683 cases of suspected CAD from north-east China was determined. Cases were divided into four groups, as follows: group 1, no stenosis; group 2, > 50% stenosis of one vessel; group 3, > 50% stenosis of two vessels; group 4, > 50% stenosis of three or more vessels. Group 1 was classified as a non-CAD group (control) and groups 2, 3 and 4 were classified as CAD groups. Plasma adiponectin levels were significantly correlated with coronary artery stenosis and were lower in the CAD groups than in the non-CAD group. Adiponectin concentration decreased from group 2 to group 4, but this difference was not significant. Adiponectin levels among females were also lower than for males in the CAD groups. There was a significant difference between plasma adiponectin levels in patients with coronary stenoses versus those without, but there were no significant differences between the three CAD groups in terms of plasma adiponectin levels.

Abstract
In order to provide information for the development of molecular selection markers for drought tolerance improvement, the methods of prometric analysis, quantitative real-time PCR and field evaluation were employed for the identification of the differential expression of candidate genes under drought stress in maize. At seventeen, twenty-four and forty-eight hours of polyethylene glycol-simulated drought stress at the seventh leaf stage, leaf samples were collected from two drought-tolerant inbred lines for prometric analysis by two-dimensional electrophoresis and peptide mass fingerprinting. Fifty-eight proteins out of more than 500 were found in response to drought stress. Three drought-induced spots 2506, 3507 and 4506 showed sequence similarity with cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, cytochrome protein 96A8 and S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthase, respectively. The expression of two key enzymes to lignin biosynthesis was quantified by quantitative real-time PCR among three drought-tolerant and one drought-sensitive inbred lines under drought stress and well-watered control conditions. After a decrease at the beginning of drought stress, the expression of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase and caffeate O-methyltransferase recovered at twenty-four hours of the drought stress in the three drought-tolerant lines, but not in the drought-sensitive lines. Leaf lignin content, anthesis-silking interval and grain weight per plant were investigated with six inbred lines of varying drought tolerance under drought stress and well-watered control. Drought tolerance coefficients of these three characters were calculated and the correlation coefficients among these drought tolerance coefficients were estimated. Significant difference in leaf lignin content was found among the inbred lines and in response to drought stress. Close correlations were observed between the drought tolerant coefficients for leaf lignin content and grain weight per plant, and between the drought tolerant coefficients for leaf lignin content and anthesis-silking interval. These results indicate that leaf lignin content is a useful index for evaluation of drought tolerance in maize. Molecular selection markers can be developed on the basis of differential expression of the candidate genes and applied to maize improvement for drought tolerance.

Abstract
MicroRNAs function as gene expression modulators that are critical for mammalian development. Lactoferrin receptor on the apical membrane of enterocytes has been suggested to play key roles in the absorption of lactoferrin-bound iron from breast milk. The objective of this study was to identify mechanisms of microRNA mediated post-transcriptional regulation of the lactoferrin receptor. Sequence analyses revealed that the miR-584 sequence is identical in human, mouse and rat, and there is a conserved region complementary to the seed region (5' nucleotides 2-8) of miR-584 within the lactoferrin receptor mRNA-3'-untranslated region. miR-584 was further found to co-localize with lactoferrin receptor mRNA in mouse small intestine. The 3'-untranslated region of human lactoferrin receptor mRNA was cloned into pGL3-control luciferase reporter vector. By luciferase reporter assays in HEK293 cells, miR-584 mimic specifically repressed the reporter activity in a dose-dependent manner. miR-584 mimic reduced endogenous lactoferrin receptor protein expression in Caco-2 cells, without significantly affecting the mRNA level. We also determined that miR-584 expression is inversely correlated with lactoferrin receptor mRNA and protein expression. Taken together, we propose that miR-584 contributes to the post-transcriptional expression of lactoferrin receptor during the perinatal period. These findings demonstrate a novel example of how microRNAs may be involved in regulation of nutrient metabolism in the newborn.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Highly controlled research projects demonstrated success in preventing and controlling cardiovascular diseases. Community-based programs have yet to demonstrate significant influence. Data on large-scale community-level interventions targeting minority communities are limited. The aim of this study is to measure the impact of the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH 2010) project, a community-based intervention to eliminate racial/ethnic disparities in blood cholesterol screening in minority communities. METHODS Annual survey data from 2001 to 2006 were gathered in 22 communities. Trends in the prevalence of age-standardised blood cholesterol screening were examined for four racial/ethnic groups (black, Hispanic, Asian and American Indian/Alaska Native), stratified by education level, and compared with national data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. RESULTS The prevalence of cholesterol screening increased among persons in black, Hispanic and Asian REACH communities (p<0.001), whereas prevalence decreased in the total US and Hispanic populations (p<0.001) and remained similar among blacks and Asians nationwide. The relative disparity between the total US population and most REACH communities decreased (p<0.05). Relative disparity in cholesterol screening related to education level decreased (p<0.05) within REACH communities, whereas relative disparity related to education level nationwide remained similar in blacks and increased (p<0.001) in Hispanics. CONCLUSION The REACH project decreased racial and ethnic disparities in cholesterol screening between REACH communities and the total US population, as well as disparities related to education level within REACH communities.
