Colorectal Cancer Screening Outcomes of 2412 Prostate Cancer Patients Considered for Carbon Ion Radiotherapy. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13174481. [PMID: 34503291 PMCID: PMC8431542 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13174481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is effective for detecting cancer in average-risk adults. For prostate cancer (PCa) patients considered for carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT), pre-treatment CRC screening is performed empirically to avoid post-treatment colonoscopic manipulation. However, the outcomes of screening this population remain unclear. Here, we compared the outcomes of routine pre-CIRT CRC screening of 2412 PCa patients at average risk for CRC with data from two published datasets: the Japan National Cancer Registry (JNCR) and a series of 17 large-scale screening studies analyzing average-risk adults. The estimated prevalence rate was calculated using the pooled sensitivity elucidated by a previous meta-analysis. Consequently, 28 patients (1.16%) were diagnosed with CRC. CRC morbidity was significantly associated with high pre-treatment levels of prostate-specific antigen (p = 0.023). The screening positivity rate in this study cohort exceeded the annual incidence reported in the JNCR for most age brackets. Furthermore, the estimated prevalence rate in this study cohort (1.46%) exceeded that reported in all 17 large-scale studies, making the result an outlier (p = 0.005). These data indicate the possibility that the prevalence of CRC in PCa patients is greater than that in general average-risk adults, warranting further research in a prospective setting.

Higher baseline dietary fat and fatty acid intake is associated with increased risk of incident prostate cancer in the SABOR study. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2019; 22:244-251. [PMID: 30385837 PMCID: PMC6685438 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-018-0105-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2018] [Revised: 09/14/2018] [Accepted: 09/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the association of nutrient intake measured by baseline food frequency questionnaire and risk of subsequent prostate cancer (PCa) in the SABOR (San Antonio Biomarkers of Risk) cohort study. METHODS After IRB approval, more than 1903 men enrolled in a prospective cohort from 2000 to 2010 as part of the SABOR clinical validation site for the National Cancer Institute Early Detection Research Network. Food and nutrient intakes were calculated using a Food Frequency Questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards modeling and covariate-balanced propensity scores were used to assess the associations between all nutrients and PCa. RESULTS A total of 229 men were diagnosed with PCa by prostate biopsy. Among all nutrients, increased risk of PCa was associated with intake of dietary fat scaled by the total caloric intake, particularly saturated fatty acid (SFA) [HR 1.19; 95% CI, 1.07-1.32), P value < 0.001, False discovery rate (FDR) 0.047] and trans fatty acid (TFA) [HR per quintile 1.21; (95% CI) (1.08-1.35), P < 0.001, FDR 0.039]. There was an increased risk of PCa with increasing intake of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) (HR per quintile 1.14; 95% CI 1.03-1.27, P = 0.01, FDR 0.15) and cholesterol [HR per quintile 1.13; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) (1.02-1.26), P-value 0.02, FDR 0.19]. CONCLUSION After examining a large, population-based cohort for PCa diagnosis, we identified dietary total fat and certain fatty acids as associated with increased risk of PCa. We found no factors that were protective from PCa. Dietary modification of fatty acid intake may reduce risk of PCa.

Abstract
In addition to their role in antigen presentation, class II MHC molecules also transmit signals to B lymphocytes. Class II MHC-mediated signals initiate a range of events in B cells, including induction of cell surface proteins, initiation of cell-cycle progression/proliferation, activation of or protection from apoptosis, and antigen-dependent plasma cell differentiation. Although various transmembrane signaling proteins associate with class II MHC molecules, the class II MHC cytoplasmic domains are essential for signals leading to increased intracellular cAMP and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Although truncation and mutagenesis studies have provided considerable information about the cytoplasmic domain sequences required, how class II MHC molecules elicit cAMP and PKC activation is not known. Further, appropriate T-dependent B cell responses require intact cAMP and PKC signaling, but the extent to which class II MHC signals are involved is also unknown. This review details our current knowledge of class II MHC cytoplasmic domain signaling in B cells with an emphasis on the likely importance of class II MHC signals for T-dependent antibody responses.

Abstract
Background Since the late 1960s, the average global supply of fat has increased by 20 g per capita per day. While fat intake has been considered a potential risk factor for prostate cancer (Pca), the hypothesis from previous epidemiologic studies remained equivocal. Materials and Methods Relevant cohort studies were identified through a literature search in PubMed, ScienceDirect and Wiley Online Library up to March 1, 2015. A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis were used to assess the relationship between fat intake and the risk for Pca. Results We identified 14 cohort studies, which included 37,349 cases and a total of 751,030 participants. We found no evidence of a non-linear association between fat intake and the risk for Pca. Overall, the summarized relative risks for every 28.35 g increment a day was 0.99 (95%CI: 0.98, 1.01; P=0.94; n=13) for total fat intake, 1.00 (95%CI: 1.00, 1.00; P=0.72; n=9) for saturated fat, 0.99 (95%CI: 0.95, 1.03; P=0.55; n=7) for polyunsaturated fat, and 1.00 (95%CI: 0.95, 1.04; P=0.85; n=8) for monounsaturated fat. Additionally, there was no link to the risk for advanced stage Pca regarding total fat intake (RR=1.02, 95%CI: 0.96, 1.08; P=0.63; n=5), saturated fat (RR=0.96, 95%CI: 0.84, 1.11; P=0.61; n=6), polyunsaturated fat (RR=0.96, 95%CI: 0.79, 1.17; P=0.68; n=6), or monounsaturated fat (RR=0.96, 95%CI: 0.86, 1.07; P=0.42; n=6). Subgroup and sensitively analyses showed consistent results. Conclusion Little evidence from published cohort studies supports the statement that total fat, saturated fat or unsaturated fat intake increases the risk for Pca or advanced stage Pca.

Abstract
Prostate, bladder and kidney cancers remain the most common cancers of the urinary tract. Despite improved primary prevention, detection and treatment, the incidence of age-related cancers of the urinary tract is likely to rise as a result of global population ageing. An association of diet with prostate, bladder and kidney carcinogenesis is plausible since the majority of metabolites, including carcinogens, are excreted through the urinary tract. Moreover, large regional differences in incidence rates of urologic tumours exist throughout the world. These rates change when people relocate to different geographic areas, which is suggestive of a strong environmental influence. As a result of these observations, numerous studies have been conducted to assess the effects of diet and nutritional status in kidney, bladder and prostate carcinogenesis. Here, we review the literature assessing the effect of diet and nutritional status on urological cancer risk, which has attracted the most interest.

Abstract
The impact of asbestos exposure on the development and progression of autoimmunity is becoming increasingly recognized as a public health issue. Epidemiological studies have shown an association between exposure to airborne silicates, such as asbestos, and autoimmunity, but the etiology remains unresolved. B1a B-lymphocytes have been implicated in autoimmune responses in mice, and splenic B1a cell numbers are altered following asbestos exposure. The purpose of this study was to explore the possible role of B1a B-lymphocytes in the production of pathogenic autoantibodies by testing the hypothesis that B1a B-lymphocytes directly react with asbestos and increase production of antibodies. The B1a-like B-lymphocyte model, CH12.LX, was exposed to asbestos in vitro via direct and indirect mechanisms. The effect was determined of these exposures on the rate of proliferation and on production of various immunoglobulin classes. Direct exposure elicited no measurable response by the CH12.LX cells. Culturing the CH12.LX cells in media from asbestos-exposed RAW 264.7 macrophages, however, decreased the proliferation rate and stimulated the cells to increase production of the immunoglobulin isotypes IgG₁, IgG₃, and IgA. It was discovered that asbestos stimulated the macrophages to increase production of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Recombinant murine IL-6 caused similar results seen with the macrophage media, indicating a role of IL-6 in stimulating a response by the B1a B-lymphocytes to asbestos. In correlation with the in vitro data, it was determined ex vivo that exposure of peritoneal cells (from C57Bl/6 mice) to asbestos caused an increase in the expression of IL-6 and TNFα, as well as of surface expression of IgA on the peritoneal B1a B-lymphocytes. These data demonstrate that asbestos leads to immunologic changes consistent with activation of B1a B-lymphocytes. This study also provides a model for analyzing the critical steps that may be involved in asbestos-induced autoimmune responses.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies suggest that environmental factors may mediate the transformation of latent prostate cancer into clinically apparent tumors and that diet appears to influence this progression. Close correlations between average per capita fat intake and prostate cancer mortality internationally generated interest in underlying mechanisms for this link, such as through serum levels of androgens, free radicals, proinflammatory fatty acid metabolites, or insulin-like growth factor. Much interest currently lies in the potential of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) to play a chemopreventative role in prostate cancer. Lycopene, a potent antioxidant found in tomatoes, may exert a protective effect in the prostate. Selenium and vitamin E have also been shown to decrease the risk of prostate cancer in some men. Calcium may support vitamin D-related antiproliferative effects in prostate cancer. Certain soy proteins, common in the Asian diet, have been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cell growth. Finally, green tea may also have a chemopreventive effect by inducing apoptosis. Despite confounding factors present in clinical studies assessing the effect of diet on cancer risk, the data remain compelling that a variety of nutrients may prevent the development and progression of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Prostate cancer has the highest prevalence of any nonskin cancer in the human body, with similar likelihood of neoplastic foci found within the prostates of men around the world regardless of diet, occupation, lifestyle, or other factors. Essentially all men with circulating androgens will develop microscopic prostate cancer if they live long enough. This review is a contemporary and comprehensive, literature-based analysis of the putative risk factors for human prostate cancer, and the results were presented at a multidisciplinary consensus conference held in Crystal City, Virginia, in the fall of 2002. The objectives were to evaluate known environmental factors and mechanisms of prostatic carcinogenesis and to identify existing data gaps and future research needs. The review is divided into four sections, including 1) epidemiology (endogenous factors [family history, hormones, race, aging and oxidative stress] and exogenous factors [diet, environmental agents, occupation and other factors, including lifestyle factors]); 2) animal and cell culture models for prediction of human risk (rodent models, transgenic models, mouse reconstitution models, severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome mouse models, canine models, xenograft models, and cell culture models); 3) biomarkers in prostate cancer, most of which have been tested only as predictive factors for patient outcome after treatment rather than as risk factors; and 4) genotoxic and nongenotoxic mechanisms of carcinogenesis. The authors conclude that most of the data regarding risk relies, of necessity, on epidemiologic studies, but animal and cell culture models offer promise in confirming some important findings. The current understanding of biomarkers of disease and risk factors is limited. An understanding of the risk factors for prostate cancer has practical importance for public health research and policy, genetic and nutritional education and chemoprevention, and prevention strategies.

Abstract
A full-length cDNA clone and two overlapping genomic clones corresponding to the canine DQA class II gene were isolated and sequenced. Restriction mapping and sequence data allow identification and orientation of the five exons corresponding to the alpha (alpha) chain. Sequence analysis of exon 2 amplified from 17 unrelated dogs of various breeds identified seven alleles. The structure of the canine DQA gene is similar to HLA-DQA1 and other mammalian DQA genes. This study will serve as a reference for developing a typing system for the DLA-DQA gene for donor and recipient matching in the canine model for organ and bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract
We recently found that microglia, brain macrophages, express interleukin-4 (IL-4) receptor mRNA in vitro. Since IL-4 exhibits a variety of functions on the cells of monocyte-macrophage lineage, we examined the effects of IL-4 on the functions of microglia. Recombinant IL-4 induced the proliferation of microglia in a dose- and time-dependent manner as determined by MTT colorimetric assay, [3H]thymidine uptake and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation. IL-4 also synergistically enhanced the proliferation of microglia with such colony-stimulating factors as IL-3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). It also increased acid phosphatase activity and superoxide anion formation by these cells. Despite these positive effects on proliferation and activation, IL-4 suppressed the IFN gamma-induced class II MHC antigen expression in these cells. Since these effects of recombinant IL-4 were inhibited by the addition of monoclonal antibody against IL-4 receptors, the effects of IL-4 on microglia appear to be a specific function via IL-4 receptors. Although microglia and astrocytes produce a variety of immunoregulatory cytokines, neither cell produced IL-4 as determined by bioassay or detection of IL-4 mRNA by RT-PCR method. Thus, the exogenous IL-4 may contribute to the accumulation of microglia in or around inflammatory lesions in the central nervous system, and may be involved in the regulatory mechanisms of microglia.

Abstract
Evidence is presented that suggests a role for transmembrane domain interactions in the assembly of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. Mutations in the transmembrane domains of the class II MHC alpha or beta chains resulted in proteins that did not generate complexes recognized by conformation-dependent antibodies and that were largely retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. Insertion of the alpha and beta transmembrane domains into other proteins allowed the chimeric proteins to assemble, suggesting a direct interaction of the alpha and beta transmembrane domains. The interactions were mediated by a structural motif involving several glycine residues on the same face of a putative alpha helix.

Abstract
Cells of the CD5+ mouse B-cell clone CH12.LX are induced to become antibody-secreting cells by costimulatory signals delivered by binding of their surface Ig and MHC class II molecules. Class II-mediated signals can be delivered by the binding of either T cells or class II-specific monoclonal antibodies. Divalent, but not monovalent antigen-binding fragments of mAbs are effective in signalling, and cross-linking intact anti-class II mAbs with isotype-specific Ab enhance class II-mediated signaling. Class II-mediated signaling is accompanied by a rise in cAMP and is blocked by an adenyl cyclase inhibitor. The cAMP analogue dibutyryl cAMP, can partially but not completely substitute for the class II-mediated signal. The costimulatory Ig-mediated signal can be delivered by binding of either antigen or antiidiotype Ab, but anti-IgM Abs are much less effective. Antibodies specific for Ig constant regions are much more effective, however, if they engage both the mIgM and mIgD molecules; anti-kappa Abs or a combination of anti-IgM and anti-IgD Abs were more effective in signaling.

The gene encoding the H-2 Ap class II beta chain was isolated from a B10.P genomic library and sequenced. This gene was also used to construct transfectants of the CH12 lymphoma clone CH12.LX, which express the Abp gene product in association with the endogenous A alpha k chain. We present here the first report of the complete nucleotide coding sequence of Abp. The predicted amino acid sequence of Abp reveals only five residues different from Abq, four of which are present in the mature peptide. These four amino acid changes could account for the differential susceptibility of H-2q vs H-2p mice to the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Antibodies specific for the transfected Abp protein induce CH12.LX cells to secrete immunoglobulin in the presence of antigen. Comparison of the amino acid sequence with other A beta chains that have been tested in signal transduction experiments suggests that amino acid 9 may be important to the signaling ability of class II A molecules.

Abstract
CH12.LX B cells are responsive to antigen-dependent differentiative signals transmitted through their surface Ek molecules. Although CH12.LX cells express surface Ak molecules with normal protein sequence, the Ak molecules do not deliver differentiative signal to these B cells. To determine whether introduction of a new A molecule into CH12.LX cells would correct this deficiency, CH12.LX cells were transfected with the genes encoding new Aalpha and/or Abeta molecules. It was found that transfected cells responded to antigen-specific signals delivered via the Ealphak Ebetak, Aalphab Abetab, or Aalphak Abetab molecule. However, the B cells did not respond to signals generated by the molecule Aalpha kAbetak, Aalphab Abetak, Aalphak Abetad, or Aalpha kAbetau. Comparison of these sequences suggests that two Abeta residues, His-47 and Trp-197, are important to the transmission of differentiative signals to B cells.
