Studies of the structural and functional basis of neuroblastoma drug resistance
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial tumor of young children, and the five-year overall survival of children with high-risk disease is less than 5...
Impact of brain estrogens on cognition and brain aging in a non-human primate
SUMMARY Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are drugs that inhibit estrogen synthesis and that are prescribed to prevent the recurrence of estrogen responsive breast cancers. However, AIs,...
The Impact of Aging on Prostate Cancer with Age-Related Disruption of Th17/Treg Axis
Project Summary/Abstract: Prostate cancer (PCa) is particularly important in elderly men because of the high incidence and prevalence of disease and mortality in this group of pati...
Impact of Circulating Myeloid Cell Clusters on Anti-Tumor Immunity
Durable outcomes in subsets of solid cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) or adoptive cell transfer (ACT) immunotherapy has driven interest in gaining a...
Therapeutic Targeting Mitochondrial C1 Metabolism
ABSTRACT Metabolic reprogramming is an important hallmark of cancer. Of the altered metabolic pathways associated with malignancy, one-carbon (C1) metabolism is particularly notabl...
WT1 as an oncogene and therapeutic target in anaplastic Wilms tumor
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Wilms tumor is the most common kidney cancer in children. High-risk patient groups continue to have dismal outcomes. The greatest predictor of a poor outco...
Ceramide-Rich Platforms Functionalize Gemcitabine Uptake
Our data indicate that in select settings activation of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase)/ceramide signaling in tumor endothelial cells by radiation and certain chemotherapies synergi...
A Randomized Controlled Trial: Genetic Counseling Patient Preference Intervention via Electronic Health Record Portal vs. Conventional Genetic Counseling for Women at Elevated Risk for Breast Cancer
PROJECT SUMMARY Women at elevated risk for breast cancer should complete genetic counseling and may require more frequent screening or additional tests (e.g. breast magnetic resona...
A deubiquitination module controls Treg adaptation to tumor microenvironment
Project Summary: One of the recent advances in cancer treatment is the development of immunotherapy largely through targeting the checkpoint receptors. However, attempts at immunot...
Establishing smoke-free homes with families involved in child protective services: An effectiveness-implementation trial of an integrated program
Project Abstract Child exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) is linked to multiple forms of cancer throughout the lifespan. Young children living in low-socioeconomic status household...
Translating Hyperpolarized 13C Metabolic MRI to Predict Renal Tumor Aggressiveness
Project summary: This project aims to clinically translate hyperpolarized (HP) 13C pyruvate MRI as an innovative metabolic imaging approach for noninvasive prediction of renal tumo...
Tissue Damage-Driven Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is responsible for ~10% of total cancer mortality worldwide. SCC prognosis is context-dependent and does not seem to be determined by driver gene soma...
Normalizing aberrant metabolism in ovarian cancer by a unique drug delivery system
Gene silencing using small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a viable therapeutic approach but, limited in translation due to lack of effective delivery systems. Developing effective and...
The Role of the Microbiome and Notch Signaling in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
PROJECT SUMMARY The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has risen 10-fold over the past half century and continues to have a dismal prognosis. Known modifiable risk factor...
Chemotherapy-induced vascular cognitive impairment: role of endothelial senescence
Project Summary Many long-term survivors of cancer experience progressive chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI, commonly referred to as "chemobrain"). Importan...
Chemotherapy-driven evolution of the vascular secretome and its role in therapeutic resistance
PROJECT SUMMARY Our continued inability to develop selective therapies that prevent the emergence of disseminated breast tumor cells into lethal metastases necessitates new approac...
Novel Integrative Approach for the Early Detection of Lung Cancer using Repeated Measures
PROJECT SUMMARY Early detection of lung cancer among asymptomatic individuals is a priority for reducing mortality of the number one cancer killer worldwide. Most lung cancers are...
A First-in-Class FAP-activated Protoxin to disrupt the Tumor-Stroma Parasitic Cycle fueling lethal Prostate Cancer Progression
Though initially responsive to hormonal therapy, prostate cancer (PCa) invariably progresses to an incurable metastatic castration-resistant state (mCRPC). Additionally, the propor...
Stromal senescence in lethal prostate cancer: a novel target for prognosis and therapy
Our overarching hypothesis is that senescent stromal fibroblasts, especially if they elicit an inflammatory response, promote progression to lethal disease in men with prostate can...
Impact of the microbiome on chemotherapeutic outcomes
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents are a key component of cancer therapy, but they have unpredictable treatment responses and considerable treatment-related...
